Am i missing something here?

What i mean is someone who posts/comments; My guess is a majority of users are leechers who don't go much beyond 'thanks' in giveaways.

In all comunnities im in i post little(and generally when i do are long posts), and surely theres places where im much more active then a site where the theme is giveaways.

Im like that in real life as well, the sort of people who generally only talks when theres something to add; if what i would say was already stated by a bunch of people theres no reason. Its different when friendship comes at play but since i started coming to the foruns i hadn't created any bounds yet; By the way it seens like a place where its hard for that to happen, easier to occur in the private groups who use steamgifts, much more close knit and with less random talk(just guessing here).

so 1 year became a while ? :)

I feel bad for the guy.

I think I had some issues in start, but now I'm perfectly fine!

Hadn't checked Khalaq's profile, im feeling a little better already (wich is sad since it comes from other peopoles unluck).

Im more sad for the 'unfairness' of his cv/win then anything. But still i hadn't saw anyone with more then a year with 0 wins lol

Now THAT makes much more sense.

Too bad when ive entered i didn't came here often, should had used that opportunity better.

Im much more relieved with the comments guys, thanks! I was afraid i had misunderstood something and doing something wrong.

With the estimates, i do look foward to better chances and always save points for private giveaways and such but... some games that really, really am dying to get my hands on appear often as public giveaways and i can't help myself to try my luck (all of those with 0.01% chance of winning generally) so yeah, that sucks i know

I hate whinning, begging and all that. Im sure many topics have been made doing that in the past (i don't even enter then) but read better next time: i was asking if there was something ive missed, i listed what i knew and have been doing , and genuine questions.

Ive readed the faq and all but who knows, ive seen a lot of poorly covered faqs in other places.

Generally i only complaing of people complaining or people with wins calling themselves unlucky (ive entered i bunch of 'unlucky giveaways', theres always a bunch of those).

true story

I do enter high profile/low chance, but i do focus on little ones most of the time

Different then what many user do (from what ive readed on the foruns and private talks) i only apply for games i really want and will play; Thing is most of the giveaways are from cheap games, so most games i want that are cheap i already bought.

By the way, as a fan of indie games and entering the indie scene myself(not yet, but im getting there if the project don't die) most of those ive bought on launch, and the few ive missed i got in bundles. The rest i will never apply for them, i have no interesting in increasing my library with games i don't like or wouldn't play.

tl;dr i haven't won anything yet in over a year and feel unlucky

It isn't allcaps like i wrote so i guess it counts... lol

Ozo pls.

Why? Should i enter in giveaways for games i don't like and will never play?

Should i comment on topics i have nothing to add? Or spam 'thanks!' like theres no tommorrow?

Few of my comments have few lines, most comments i do anywhere aren't far from what ive wrote on the topic; I talk/write when i have something to add.

Im in a forum of close knit friends for something around 8 years, if i can recall correctly my post count is somewhere around 300. I prefer face to face, even chat, and most comments i read everywhere im like 'seriously? Why people spam, state the obvious or repeat what the previous dozens alread said?'.

I guess i should start spamming thanks everywhere and short redundant answers for post counts, that way i will be considered an active and worthy memnber of the community!

Sorry if i got a little carried away, in some other foruns im in im kinda pissed of 'spammers' that fill worthy discussions with nothing to add, all for rep/post count or non-constructive talk(if not flames).

I agree, ive never won but so what? I didnt make a thread about it. Im happy seeing great games being given away for FREE! Wheather I win them or not.

Its in the name after all, im not among those people.

I just found strange that after a streak of profiles ive checked all were winners and i tought if there wasn't some rule or something i got wrong, if that didn't happened that way you would never see me make a topic about being unlucky.

And i love gifting, but buying much less games then the big givers around here when i have bucks to spare i gift friends first, steamgifts comes after that. Im still waiting some answers for some of the keys i have to spare, if they're refused then i will make the giveaways. Its a sure shot when a game is in someones wishlist but i always try to push some friends into games i like and think needs more love.

Completly true since most winners don't even play their winnings, GOOD POINT BRA!
