I hope I did not miss a post which contained my question or answer respectively.
Question:
How strict is your rule for registration that must have been at least 1 month ago?
I registered 27 days ago and would like to receive an invite as well if you don't enforce aforementioned rule too strictly.
I meet the other requirements if I am not mistaken.
Thank you in advance for your answer and have a nice day!

I will probably hit level 3 then meaning I don't meet the group's requirements anymore.
I would like to clarify in advance that my text is not aimed at gaining personal benefit.
The concept of the group simply attracted my interest and I am not sure if I understand it entirely.
Maybe my question and opinion on the topic also help you to improve your group, who knows?
Please allow me to ask you a question regarding the group's concept.
Would you rather want to support users who host giveaways for cheap and/or bundled games to increase their sent/won ratio while earning little CV or would you rather want to support users who host giveaways for regular games (not bundled) and do not care about their level as much?
Because if you simply compare the quantity of sent and won games while disregarding the quality of the games given away, you might undeliberately promote users spamming giveaways for cheap/bundle games in order to stay at low level and have a high count of sent games at the same time.
What I want to emphasize is that there may be somebody who has a sent/won ratio of maybe 5:1 on level 3 and at the same time there is somebody else who has a sent/won ratio of 25:3 on level 2.
If I interpret your rules right you would support the user with the 25:3 ratio who dumps his leftover bundle games on this website while you would reject the other user who buys (discounted) games for giveaways which make him earn CV relatively fast while his sent/won ratio remains low.
So far - I would be happy to read about your perspective on this matter.

If I'm not mistaken, the idea is to do something for the low level SG users who can only afford buying/giving bundled games. Those who can spare more money on games (and thus create "better" GAs) have their own groups and their own level restricted GAs (of which I believe there is plenty).
I think you might have misunderstood the concept of Yunie and Winthorp's group, seeing how you seem to really look down on bundled games. I can assure you there are many high-quality games that have been bundled at some point ;)

First of all, thank you for taking the time to reply to me, Thirteen13 and YunieRozier.
My comment refers to both of your posts even though I reply to the latest one in order to increase visibility/chronology.
I am sorry to hear that apparently I came across as somebody who did not value bundle games and giveaways for them by users who need to take pains to give any games away at all.
Rest assured that this is not the case and actually I am a big fan of bundles in general and also of many bundle games which I would not have discovered if they had not been bundled in the first place.
I also agree on your opinion about users who make a huge personal effort for every single game they offer, but still insist on giving away something even if it is not big in order to not feel like grabbers.
So these users are not the ones I was talking about in my first comment though it may have come over like I did.
Maybe this happened partly due to my wording because English is not my mother tongue and I have to look up quite a few words possibly picking words which have a negative connotation I am not aware of.
As I have to admit that I have a hard time seeing the point I had in mind while writing my first comment even tough I wrote it myself, I will try a different approach:
What I would like to accentuate is that some people appear to buy bundles only to give (almost) all of the included games away instead of investing the money in regular games to give away for the sole purpose of significantly increasing their sent/won ratio while still remaining at a low level.
The same applies to users who buy a bunch of bundle games if they are heavily discounted on Steam or somewhere else.
A possible approach to counter such behaviour could be to rule a maximum number of sent games users can introduce to the group's sent/won calculation.
For example, if you ruled that 20 games sent are considered normal before reaching level 3, then it would be impossible to win more than 40 games while staying in the group - even if the user gave 10 more games away and all other requirements are still met,.
Thank you for reading if you actually got this far, but please don't take it too seriously.
I simply wanted to write something that may be helpful in some way and clear my mind after I read the comments on my post.
Have a nice weekend and please don't feel too compelled to change your rules just because of my text.
TL;DR: Trying to fix the impression I gave in my previous comment and outlining a possible improvement to the group's rules.

I see your point and even if I agree that SOME people might just give away a huge amount of bundle or supercheap games just to boost the sent:won ratio staying at low levels there are some exception (luckily) that we cannot guess. For example people that want to give away more game (in number) to let more people win, some think like that. Or people who are able somehow to gain BitCoins by surveys or such and can only buy bundle from external sites to steam (like DIG).
Since we can't divide those "good guys" from the "ratio booster" I think it's better to leave it that way, personally I don't want to put a wrong judgement on them :)

This sounds great!
Giving extra opportunities for those starting up, while encouraging them to keep up GAs until lvl3 :)
Count me in!

All 5 games I've won are on my Steam account, there's none I haven't redeemed. Unless you mean 0 hours shown for Sanctum 2? Like a lot of games I play it in offline mode so I don't get interrupted by messages and that doesn't track playtime.

Uhm, you win Disciples III - Resurrection but you have Disciples III - Renaissance, that's odd they are stand-alone
Comment has been collapsed.
That's the game I got from the giveaway, the extra stuff in resurrection didn't interest me much so I decided not to make a big deal over it and just went with what I got. It's not like I paid for it.

Yup, but it's matter that people have to give what they say in the GA

How the event will happen? Will there be a official topic for the train and everyone post there or we send admins the links and you post everything in one topic?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm totally bashing here. Using ratio of # vs. ratio of overall costs of giveaways is ridiculous, especially since ratio implies you have enough money to buy X amount of games at X average cost(assuming 20-30).
Either way, thanks for the giveaways.

Yes, and... Your point is? Was that supposed to backfire my comment or humiliate me? I'm bashing him for having a requirement based off of quantity over quality.
EDIT: "Bashing" is clearly being used in a jokingly way, for those that want to misinterpret my obvious comment.

Subtext gets lost real easy on the internet specially on a site with that many not native speakers. When I first read you comment I also thought you were serious. Text Message Confusion

I find that hilarious because I said "I'm totally bashing here." If anyone takes that seriously, then they must have low standards considering how blatantly obvious everything is when somebody says "totally".

Good day fellow SG community,
maybe a few of you will remember the little event me and Yunie did for the good users of level 1 and 2.
Since it came out that the idea was appreciated we decided to bring it to a new level, a semi-permanent event!
Starting from this month we will recruit users who will be invited in a Steam Group where me and Yunie will share giveaways.
Here is how it works:
Who will be invited:
N.B: Admins reserve the right to judge an account on other basis in some occasion
What does "Good profile" means?
Who will leave the group:
If you are interested in joining leave a comment below, we will check your profile and invite you if eligible. The giveaways will start after the first round of recruitment.
N.B: This is NOT a "classic" giveaway group, user are NOT required to do giveaways (but they are not forbidden)
N.B2: If some "elders" want to partecipate as guest, feel free to contact me or Yunie
N.B3: Who will post to join the group WITHOUT having the requirement will not have the chance to join again
