Found it, but didn't pass because I sent more bundle games than non bundled ones :)

Didn't pass.
You are unlikely to get too many entries due to these 2 rules:
(real_sent_region_free_nonbundled > real_sent_bundled) && (num_sent_public + num_sent_private > num_sent_group)
Good luck

Four now--I'll be back to enter when some points free up from all the other bookmarked stuff this month I still need to enter. At the rate new stuff keeps getting added for the holidays, I'll see you again some time around.... 15 minutes before this ends.

Ok...

It's just an expression.

What's the benefit of obfuscating the link if the GA is SGTool-protected? Bots can't pass it anyway. In fact, I'd assume most users won't either.
Also, the filter "Maximum level: 10" does not exclude anyone here, because there's no level higher than 10.

There is no benefit (just like me making giveaways)
Yes, there is no level higher than 10.

Invested 3 skill points into 'hacking' and bypasssed your security and then was hit by the ratio wall.

I hope I don't get too much multiple wins out of this

Bump!:)
I hope you had a nice Christmas, Jiseru!:)

Not that I'd pass any SGtools test (private profile), but I'm no longer eligible, with 48 non-bundled and 61 bundled. I guess I should have stopped giving when I had the chance. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, thanks. If it counts the CV of unbundled vs. bundled then I'd pass.

http://www.sgtools.info/sent/ET3D/newestfirst sgtools probably uses this for information, so you can see for yourself
edit: it is based on CV and not number sent like adil stated.

Hmm, I don't know if it was intentional or an oversight, but there is an easy way for new users that have never won a game to pass this sgtools check with a simple 50 cent giveaway that has not been bundled and they can get access to 4 giveaways. I would have added a rule saying that you had to give away at least $10 in real CV, but maybe it was your intention to allow new users a chance to enter if they have never won before and they have given away an unbundled game, even if very cheap. I'm not complaining, I just thought it was kind of funny.

Anyone can give away something and simply already pass. There are a few level based giveaways, so they wouldn't be able to enter the others, though.
I'm not trying to block out everyone, but I'm just trying to give people a chance that have given more and yes, with more unbundled than bundled, but it's really not THAT hard. Also you need to have won less than you've given, though. People have complained, but there are actually quite a few entries. I mean, quite a few for 1 day, I guess. Each one has at least 3 while the most has 13.

I understand and I am not complaining, it's your giveaways and you can do anything you want. It just seems like you are trying to reward people who give more to the community, but I find it kind of funny that a new user can just spend 50 cents and qualify and enter 4 of the giveaways while someone that may have given hundreds or even thousands of dollars in games and never won a single game doesn't qualify if they gave away more value in bundled games.
Just to make my point a little easier to understand. A user who just registered and gave away a single 50 cent unbundled game can enter, but (edited to remove username) who has only won $12 in games yet gave away $721 does not qualify.
The rules just seem a little flawed.
Edit: I just checked a user with almost 14,000 giveaways valued at over $17,500 and he doesn't qualify because 66% of that is from bundled games. The $6000 in unbundled games isn't good enough compared to the user that gave away 50 cents :)
Again, I'm sure this wasn't your intention and I hope you don't think I am being rude, I just found the rules a bit funny and wanted to point it out.

You just can't win them all. If I had a better understanding to sit and fiddle with the rules, I could probably edit it. I don't really want to 'lock out' more people, though.
Apparently at the top of the filter, there is a box for minimum real sent in CV, but... I already had the level restrictions, and there are only 2 games without levels that someone can enter if they gave away an unbundled game even if it's 50 cents.
If I sat down to consider how to make the rules more, maybe I could have had a better way to come up with something, but I'm not that great at it, I think. I could probably figure it out, but I just didn't want to invest more into it.
In this instance, it's unfortunate for people but this isn't going to be the only community giveaway I make. It might be unfortunate for the $721 user who gave away a lot of bundled games, but I guess it's more fortunate for those that didn't. Nothing is fair.. really.
I guess people can be upset with me for it instead. I checked stats and 4 people were unhappy.

I am not unhappy, I just thought the rules were a bit odd and wanted to explain why I thought they were flawed. I was editing my comment above while you posted this reply so you may not have seen it. I added an even crazier example :)
Edit: Also, the user that gives away 50 cents and passes can enter 4 giveaways because they would be level 1.

I realize you're just pointing it all out. I didn't account for everything though which is why I made it relatively simple.. for me.
And that's what simple does!!! It looks at things in black and white. Maybe if I make another train to make people unhappy, I'll make better rules.

Sorry if I upset you, I know you were just trying to make some nice giveaways for us. You do something nice and get complaints. At least you tried, I'm too lazy and don't even try anymore. I made some trains in the past and thought about using custom sgtools rules, but it was confusing and I didn't want to take the time to learn. Now I just throw most of the bundle keys in public giveaways and give some of the BTA or unbundled games to my whitelist. You're doing better than me :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I'm not upset by it. You actually wrote in a reasonable manner and just pointed out how people who have barely given anything can still pass without complaining. That part was partly intended, though I didn't remember how much you needed to give to get to Level 1.
Most of my comments were kind of aimed how I can't make it 'fair' for everyone because I didn't put in a lot of effort for the rules to try to include them even though they were used in a response towards you. There's just no 'right' when it comes to rules. Sometimes I just want to give others who have given more more of a chance is all.

Tough bar to pass. Still, I think it is nice that Jiseru rewards those who have been generous contributors.

I had you blacklisted for some reason, so I removed you.
edit: Well, I know the reason, but.. well I just am shrugging it off

YOU SHALL NOT PA...oh wait, I passed. :)
Thanks for the train! also, have a blue heart ;)

I don't understand these more-something-than-something-else GAs. They are not fair at all. Let's imagine two people:
John:
3 unbundled GAs sent
1 bundled GA sent
-> pass - good boy, he really deserves to pass (?)
Paul:
50 unbundled GAs sent
500 bundled GAs sent
-> doesn't pass - total looser, didn't do almost anything for this community - he should not pass (?)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why I put a level on m SGTools gibs. So I get more Pauls :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually another point from the other side is the thought. Paul might have it all. gives all his bundle games away and buys AAAs from the steam store at full price. But it means nothing to him but just something to spend his money on.
John however, went to a third party site and bought a new release for £25 and he gave away three copies.. It was half of his months wage. He did it because he wants to give games. He could buy himself games with that £75 he has, but he chooses others!
Not saying either is bad but its just another way of looking at it!

A lot of people won't agree with it and it's fine. The games I'm giving away aren't really that great (probably) anyway, but it's just to "possibly" give some games back to people who wasted more money on games that aren't so cheap.
Like I said a dozen times, if I looked at the rules more (even though nothing in life is fair), I could have probably balanced the rules more to take into consideration how much was bundled vs unbundled before failing, but I didn't bother. This is only one train and it's not like I make them all the time that block out people like this, but limitations always bring things into sight.
That "total looser, didn't do almost anything for this community" is such a way to try to really be negative towards someone. A lot of people always make puzzle giveaways, too. I don't think I should go and complain because "I'm a total idiot who can't solve it" if you want to look at it that way. It also applies to other people that can't pass.
