All right, done. I'm in a ton of debt and can't pay out of pocket but I used the bonus you get. Better than nothing. Doing something good for other people is pretty great no matter what in my opinion.
I'd love an invite :)
I think this is a really cool thing to do by the way.

Are you talking about the sponsors that provide the bonuses? 'Cause I think it's awesome those guys are doing it. I hope this group pays it forward. And I like the photo of the person you lent to. I sent an invite to your profile. Cheers

Yes, the ones giving away the free 25 dollars for the trials, but in a way I was talking about you as well, you're encouraging a lot of people to lend money to ones that might need it more.
I was between Tiburcio and some other guy, the other guy had a picture taken by a better camera. I wish I could see Tiburcio's face better, but the vibes he gave me was very humble and nice. Plus he seemed more 'in need' than the other guy. :~
Thank you for the invite <3

Cool buddy, thanks. I find decision with your loan. I sent an invite to your profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cheers buddy. I just ask that people who loaned through the team page message or post their steam profile on kiva. It makes things easier. Here and there even easier.
Comment has been collapsed.
Where do I post it on Kiva? I can't find anywhere to post comments on there. Do you want it on your blog?

Hmm, send it as a message to the team captain. But you dont have to. I got it

Sorry for the invite delay. Its really cool you did this. Thanks for waiting. I will be posting the first game giveaway on the Team Steam Page shortly

You know the very first person to lend through this did the same thing. And i invited him to the group. It wouldnt be fair if i didnt invite you too. The team just makes it easier to keep track of who loaned what to whom. Just as long as someone benefits from your loan, thats all that matters. I just dont want to make this a habit, you know?

Im at work and cant add you to the group on my phone, but when im at a desktop, i will do that.

Man its a lot to go through, I am off to bed, will try to pick a good one tomorrow, to tired to do it now. This is really really nice though.
Thanks for letting us know.

Cheers of deciding. I like the cause you chose. Thanks
Comment has been collapsed.
Its good to see someone doing something for the community and providing an incentive for increased spending for the greater good.
One thing though: if there are many groups with up to 10 people in them and you need to loan $25 to get into one, will you put people who loan $50 or another multiple of $25 into 2 or more groups?
One other thing as well: will you accept games to be gifted into your many small groups from those who do not have the means to pay $25? It would make this a whole lot more sustainable and take some of the burden off you.

I do like what you proposed, and this is exactly what I'm looking for from my fellow community members. The teired situation is something i havent hammered out, but i want there to be one. Similarly to how the contributor system rewards people who giveaway more. And i want sustainability, so a system like the one you proposed is something i want to talk further about. Im at work, but when im off, i'll hit you up. Cheers buddy

The pattern is invites go out whenever I am not at work or school. I do apologize to you and the others that have to wait. I will try and stay on top of it. Your invite has been sent though. Both Raito1337 and vyruz22

Gave my trial loan to the honey people
you know.. at moments like these I feel kind of guilty for spending money on steam gifts instead of the things that really matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont think you should feel bad, i'm thinking maybe this group is a step in the right direction. Cheers. And i like bees, so maybe i'll loan to the same group. Invite sent.

Did the loan. It's a nice site, I did not know about that one. :)
I lent the $25 to http://www.kiva.org/lend/460178 :)

Sorry guys, I was at work for a while. I had to close then open a coffee shop. Your invites were sent and sorry for the delay. And thanks again for doing this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool buddy, thanks for doing that. It helps because its injecting new money into the system. The money gets released by sponsors only if new members join Kiva, etc. Anyways, thanks for doing it. Cheers. Invite sent

Hello everyone, I created a group called MvukeUnity on Steam that is committed to giving away a whole lot of games to people if they sign up on Kiva.org and join the MvukeUnity Kiva team.
By signing up, you are given a free bonus of $25 to lend to people in third world countries that need help. This is risk free, as all you need to do is sign up through the MvukeUnity team recruitment link. Anonymous and pseudonyms are also allowed. And you do not need to spend any money, as this bonus is for any new member that joins through the link.
By doing this, you are then allowed entery into the MvukeUnity Steam group that posts giveaways all the time. Like a lot of games are given away in this group, and not just by me.
Once you join Kiva through the link above, message me your Steam profile and you Kiva portfolio on the MvukeUnity Kiva team page, and I will then invite you into the group.
I have a large stockpile of games to giveaway on my Steam profile inventory, as well as many more keys to games (such as borderlands GOTY, bioshock 1&2, spec ops: the line, the darkness 2, and more) on my amazon game inventory. I also have a very large stockpile of bundle game keys too. All of these games are designated for the MvukeUnity Steam group. Giveaways posted already in the past week:
Portal 2, Mad Riders, Mount & Blade Collection, Virtual Tennis 4, Spec Ops: The Line, Crusader Kings II, Mirror's Edge, Alien Hallway, Just Cause.
Membership to the MvukeUnity Steam group is already up to 80 or so people. And thanks to these initial members, the MvukeUnity Kiva team has facilitated over $4000 in new loans to people who need it. An amazing amount considering that the team went "live" only days ago.

(http://www.kiva.org/invitedto/mvukeunity/by/stephen3443)
UPDATE: All new users to Kiva.org who sign up through the Kiva.org team page link above will get a free $25 to lend on the site as a bonus. This is all that is necessary to be admitted into the group, just make sure it is through the MvukeUnity Kiva.org team so that it can be tracked and verified.
NEWER UPDATE: In order to streamline the process and help with verifying whether people loaned or not, please post your Steam profile and Kiva portfolio on the MvukeUnity Kiva team page. The link to the team page is below. Thank you. It makes it even easier if you post here too. But that is superfluous.
This was all created on paper, and so there is bound to be some hiccups, so that's why I am posting on the forums. To gauge interest and also to hear from everyone. Something sound wrong or is all good?
More info here: Blogger Info Blog . And here: Kiva Team HQ . And here: Steam Group .
If you have anymore questions, just let me know. I hope this whole idea works.
Cheers,
Bardsley
