Sure. I know that. But I do not want to buy games I already have, you know? Like I said: No problem. I won't have a bad life because I can't enter certain GAs or groups. Gotta live with my mistakes. There is a chance that those will be bundled somewhen and I like the bundle. Would be the chance to "fix" that.

i'm not really sure what you mean by that, but looking at your rule about "cv farming", ,i suppose you think that's what i'm doing. i do usually reserve what i consider higher quality giveaways for a few groups. i assume the group you're referring to has only 148 members, and they periodically have recruitment threads here on sg. if you don't wanna whitelist me, that's 100% okay, and i won't argue that, but i don't like being accused of something i don't do.

obviously i can't stop you from voicing your thoughts, nor would i want to. i still don't really understand how you think my giveaway habits look like a circle jerk. i simply reserve better games for groups because i want to give myself a decent chance of earning cv, while also keeping my group ratio respectable. plus i'd rather give games to people whom give games to me, and groups are the best way to up those odds. to accuse, imply, infer, say "something looks like something", or suggest that i'm doing anything that is generally frowned upon is just factually incorrect. if you think group gifting is a "circle jerk" then i'll have to disagree. i am genuinely curious what you think i'm actually doing though since obviously a literal circle jerk isn't going down.

Yeah sure, there is no rush.
I am just giving away games from bundles that I bought. There is always something I already own or I don't like. I prefer give away game rather than add to library something I wouldn't ever play. It's also the reason why I enter giveaways with games I would like to play.
Sometimes I buy something that I like and is cut-priced as I am not millionaire and I am from not that rich country.
Keep in touch, cheers :)

Nice ratios AmanoTC. :D
I realize with your game collection I will likely not be giving away anything that you don't already own, but who knows. The future is always uncertain. But I added you to my 💙list. I realize that wasn't your intention with the thread, but when you created it I wasn't even on SG yet, so I am pretty much a noob in the park... Cheers!

Thank you for being a good sport about it. You hit the nail on the head: After multiple wins without even one thank you I removed you from my WL. I think it's common courtesy to at least say thank you, especially if it a WL giveaway.
Mentioning it here and dealing with it in a mature way is very appreciated! Kudos to you.

I think I remember this thread? I believe my real CV ratio is up to about 1:3 now, but I'm still only doing one or two giveaways a month. XD

All good. I don't even keep a whitelist, so I'm in no position no demand being let onto anyone else's. :p

I'm not eligible but I just wanted to say that I like how clear you are with your rules!

Hi!
Looking to get back into steamgifts big!
may I join?

Heya, I'd like to join your WL if there's a spot for me.
My public GAs mostly stopped after I joined Playing Appreciated and Quality Game Giveaway. I was never too enthusiastic before as I saw many who had skewed ratios of won/sent. Now I find that it's just a matter of doing GAs in a more controlled environment.
But I still intend to hold public GA if I have surplus, specially if I win anything. I always give back in the same channel I won the game from.
Regardless, adding you to my WL even if I don't qualify, as I started building mine and would like to have more people conscientious about give and take in it :)

Hey, I totally forgot to answer. Sorry about that.
Everything looks good besides one thing: There are quite a lot of group giveaways with less than 5 entries. I have no proof that those are legit giveaways, so I'd rather not add you, sorry :(

Heya, np and I understand. It's indeed a bit inconvenient for me as my group QGG have a ratio to watch for, so ppl don't enter for everything and sometimes I don't get cvs for them :( but the flip side for me was that -sadly- that smaller pool of ppl at least genuinely wanted the game and contributed games on their own (have good ratios).
I haven't found other groups that work for me yet. I liked Playing Appreciated more before I noticed some of my recipients don't really give back (ever) or play the games I give out.
But thank you for the reply nonetheless, free bump and have a good weekend!

So the giveaways with less than five entries are from your own group?
See, I try to not add users who are in circle jerk groups. Those are groups with very few members - often less than ten but more than five - who only do giveaways for the group, so everyones CV rises fast and the gifts circulate between them. It's hard to identify those groups. One indicator is a user having a lot of group giveaways with very few entries. So you looked suspicious, although all your giveaways might be totally legit.
If you promise that your group giveaways for your own group are legit and no cirlcle jerks, i'm willing to give you a shot :)

Heya, I'd appreciate the add but it's not important if I don't match your requirements, no hard feelings.
To answer, my main group for GAs has near 100 member, it isn't a circle of jerkiness (I think) as I don't know anyone in it except that I agree with the group requirements, so people don't always enter just for the +1 and will give back...but these rules are also what make the member count and entries low. I remembered this group rule as I was typing • Entering GAs without the intention of winning (to help reach 5 entries) is forbidden.
Other than that, I'm also part of this group but I have been GA less there as I notice a recurring situation where quite a few entries to my GAs have terrible ratios

Current Whitelist count: 284 :)
Important update June 2024
Hello there.
My views on this changed, so I will post an update. All these criteria have just one goal: To find active members of SG who don't cheat, don't leech, don't game the system, do play fair and are contributing to this site with giving away more then they win.
Aaaaaaand that's it! Kinda easy to get on my Whitelist, isn't it? ;)
