Very nice idea. Could one also collect good deeds first and enter then? I know, since you can't check it, it doesn't matter, but I wouldn't want to enter a few GAs now and then under pressure search for people perhaps needing help and eventually improve something for the worse (in the worst case).

No. I will not enter your giveaways. If I got something for my good deed - it will devalue it. I'll better be good less, but from my heart, than more, but because of some giveaways.

I don't have money, a driver's license, or friends... I suppose I could be nice to my family, but my little brother is too fun to pick on... Maybe I could take the dog for walks so my Mom doesn't have to, but I'm normally asleep during the day...
I am going to help set up for my older sister's wedding reception on Friday, but other than that, I really don't know. I have a hard time motivating myself to even do things like feed myself, I don't know what I could do to make others happy. :/
Cool idea, but I'll probably leave all the GA's for helpful people, lol. :P

working on a panel box in an apartment building today
power was cut off for the hallways
a girl came up the elevator and was ringing the doorbell constantly , i guess the person who was suppose to be in the room, wasnt there,
she kept ringing and waiting, in a semi dark hallway , right next to where we were working, i went to the truck to get a stool for her to sit on instead of standing around in the dark

Every small good action has the potential to make a big difference in the context of someone else's day.
A definite bump :)

Pay it Forward
I've been kicking around a thought in my head for quite a while now, and here's the end result. Before you, is a table of GA's. Trains are overrated. So much clicking, and you never know what you're getting yourself into. I'mma bring the table into the mainstream for the benefit of all I tell you what
For each GA you enter, you will commit to a week of small generosities. That is, a minimum of once a day, you will go out of your way to help somebody else. It doesn't have to cost much, nor involve much effort or time. You could buy the coffee for the person behind you in line, bring home flowers for your significant other for no particular reason, or just be there to talk when somebody is down, particularly if you might not have otherwise. I ask that you fully commit to these tasks. Go ahead and mark it on your calendar, don't push it to the back of your mind, particularly if you're the type to say "I do that already", even if you do. There's always that little bit extra you could be doing. With luck, a small act of kindness can propagate forward, and with enough of them, can change the world. Be what changed the world. Tell nobody you don't have to that you did these things. Humility is an attribute there is far too little of in this world.
For each GA you WIN, I'm asking that you pay it forward in two occasions/two people in some relatively significant fashion. Helping for a day at your local food shelter, choose to be late for work and assist the stranded motorist by the highway instead or driving by, whatever floats your boat. Instead of taking any reward for these actions yourself should they be offered, instead insist that the receiver then pay it forward to somebody else instead, at their own time and ability.
Now, I know, there are some of you thinking "but the Guidelines says
I know. I obviously have no way of checking whether an entrant has completed these tasks, nor do I have any desire to. I will send the keys no matter what, nor will I blacklist them upon somehow discovering they completed nothing.
If somebody else wishes to post their own GA as you guys are wont to do. It's not expected however, I will update my table once a week. I will close the thread when my last GA ends, unless others have been added. After all, we are never alone
Big Batch GA's sent. Re-rolls incoming shortly.
