Hello and thanks for the interest in our group.
We have examined your profile and found your GAs are mostly made of bundled stuff: unfortunately at present time it doesn' seem to fit our group philosophy properly, since our main focus is on unbundled games. If your profile should change in the future, please contact us again and we'll se what happens :-)

Thanks for your feedback, LadyNarayan. I have similar tastes myself (I am specialized in doing super fast 1-hour long GAs!), but when in a group, being organized is the key and having long duration giveaways is necessary to give all members an opportunity to enter. Thanks anyway for your interest and good luck

Non bundle group ? Than AKATSUKI here

BTW. What about GAs with 4 or less entries ? Or even 0 entries. Do they count as monthly giveaways ?

If the game respect all rules, It must end with at least one entries to count as a monthly giveaways

What happens when a user wins TOO much.. ? I'm honestly curious if you only limit it to one extra (2) mandatory giveaways at that point.

It seems it could be a minor headache that everyone has to create a unique giveaway if this group grows too much. Most likely with a first called first served type of rule limiting what you can, yet again, give away.
Everyone is going to have to come to a consensus on what game they giveaway every month. This is fine for a small group, though. Just random thoughts to ignore, though.

Being curious, I was wondering how many games could be given away, but there are always new releases:
01-55 pages ( around 1350) @20P+
55-91 pages ( around 890) @15P+

No idea how many of these are bundled, though. Plus some games appear as Free to Play (TF2 still retains an old $20 value so it shows up in there and I noticed a few others as F2P)

edit: argh, you stupid spoiler tags..

Well, thanks a lot for the interesting points you have put in evidence, Jiseru. Yes, the group, at present time, works at its best with a small numbers of members. If we ever decide to enlarge it and have a lot of members, probably we will have to change a lot of rules. But for now, we think it will work fine the way it is :-)
And if you ever want to join us, let us know!

Hello. Yes, you understood correctly. If another member has created a Doom giveaway, then you can't create another identical one that month. But you can create one Doom the following month :-)
If you are still interested I would like to talk you one minute in Steam chat, if it's ok for you

Would be really interested as 99% of groups are for bundled games only.
One extra question about this "Giveaways have to start on 15th of every month and must end at 30th day of the month at 6:00 PM GMT "
Does it mean that ALL the giveaways MUST start on 15th of every month and ALL need to end on 30th of the same month?

Hello, Carnium. Yes, you have interpreted the rule correctly. I have added the word "same" to the rule to make it clearer. Thanks for pointing it out.
If you are interested I can invite you :-)

It's really an interesting idea this group. The only minor problem might be that some members have won way much that they have gifted and as far as I can see most are gifting bundled games only.
My question would be, how do you plan to protect the group from leechers of non-bundled games?
Some groups require that new members FIRST make a valid giveaway before being able to enter any of the group's giveaways.
Would you guys consider something like that too?

Comment has been collapsed.

are you sure?
the bundled games that you see, are extra Giveaways that members can share with the group.
The obligatory Giveaways are all NOT bundle games.

No no, sorry for the mess. I have checked some of the members and this comment is about the games they gave away to public,. not in the group.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Not a native English speaker here either ;)

Those members you are talking about, they were not allowed in the Group at once. We contacted them beforehand via chat, we asked them some questions and they confirmed they understood the rules and agreed to follow them. We've decided to trust them, but obviously if our trust will not be returned, actions will be swiftly taken. We ask you all to help us out and if you notice something strange is going on, please contact us and we will act accordingly. Be sure we do not want to spoil the harmony of the group because of some bad elements.
I hope this reply is exhaustive enough, if you have more questions, please ask

The only valid Humble Monthly games for our giveaways are the "early unlocks only" games of each month (ie, at present time: Grim Dawn, Soma, Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Multiplayer Starter Pack, Hurtworld, Rocket League, This War of Mine, South Park: The Stick Of Truth, ARK: Survival Evolved, Alien: Isolation, and so on).

Thanks for your consideration, Scourge, but at present time we are focusing on more unbundled oriented gifter. This doesn't mean in future we can't re-evaluate your profile, if you will concentrate on giving away nice unbundled games :-) See ya!
