I could nominate this one: http://www.steamgifts.com/user/nekromantyczny
All giveaways public, has cute avatar, great ratio and I remember him for some reason (can't recall why...)
Comment has been collapsed.
I won't nominate anyone, since Dianatrix is out, but would like to remind my fellow steamgifters of the following:
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/GetBlazedSon -- 3 years, lvl 4.5, no wins -- need I say more?
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/kenm -- lvl 4, gave away the likes of Wolfenstein and Outlast -- plus, the philosoraptor
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/bosque91 -- lvl 5, some nice giveaways, and a PUG-themed train
Comment has been collapsed.
It did not include Turbo, actually... but take a look at the real pug -- gotta love the little guy.

Just for more insight - GetBlazedSon registered 3 years ago, but made all of his giveaways in this year, starting january the 1st. I don't know what you referred to with "need I say more?" - It looks like there's a reason behind not winning, but daaamn, that 2 weeks, 61 giveaways - that's something! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, why not? I thought Sigma nominates at least one of them, :)
If I can nominate more, than
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/GetBlazedSon for rocking the new year with tons of giveaways
and
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/bosque91 as well, for the Pug-train.
The few people I knew a little more were already nominated, so giving these people a chance seems like an option :3

Most of his giveaways are public. Even the group giveaways contains groups with huge members
(eg. Steamgifts which contain 32000+ members).
He had 1948 comments and his last giveaway just ended, which implied that he is still active @ SG.
Also, he had a good ratio. He only won 8 gifts (I think they are all bundled games) here.

Ok working my whitelist, but finding (like everyone else a lot I wanted to nominate are level 6)
How about noonemakesnoise
The percenage public is there, only one month in!

Yea, I'm scouring for a second one as well, i didn't mention Nomn's ratio, but it's really great as well... Pretty excited about this.
Funny you should be doing this, I was just trying to work up some type of group of "B" listers event... I'm one of the borderline ones that gets in a few, and gets left out of others, but it is true that we all tend to just nominate the same group, and with good reason, it's a most awesome group, but it is nice to give a few others a second to shine as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Added him to the list & most likely we will come up with an list here on the forum so you can see what people are on it atm to get an overview we just need a day or two too put everything together, hope you have understanding & patieance. :)

Hey, thanks for the nod. I figured my general anti-social nature would have excluded me from this kind of thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for a second post, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't missed, but I have a second entry that is just BARELY level 5 (and probably will be 6 in the coming days)
Finbar is doing some great stuff, also has a positive ratio and as I said, will soon be joining the ranks of level 6, which is some nice progress in 5 months.
Comment has been collapsed.
My fault. I knew she was lvl 6 but I thought you were making some exceptions for extraordinary cases.
Well, I'll make two new nominations then:
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll have to edit my post, as the req is slighty passed here..
Great nomination & everything but then again, if i'll make one exception there is thousands to come. :/
Sorry for any missunderstandings, nellyneko already deserved my WL atleast. :)

Super chill guy, I had a few great chats with him and he seems really nice and respectful. His ratio is also great.
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/HexWar
Great devs that make great games and giveaway great games :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, we're allowed a second nomination?
Easy pick:
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/RCSWE
He's unable to activate gibs through February, but he's still managing to give away a ton of games despite choosing not to enter gibs himself. In fact, a lot of those games he just gives away, not bothering to put up for CV.
Add in a great personality- easygoing, fun, and generous- and a great ratio, and he's perfect for the kind of vibe you've suggested you're looking for. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Fantastic idea, Waxlor & Fruitbean :D I was thinking about doing something similar too lately :)
Here goes my nomination: daniyo94 for his awesome event :) Took him lots of time and money to do it, for sure! And it was pleasure to read his thoughts!
Originally I wanted to recommend my senpai hamanycool too but he just hit level 6 - yesterday or something like that :(
I would also recommend these users for being lovely, polite and generous:

You can still choose 1 more though, or what's your choices? :)
Tell me & i'll be on, it also you have to edit your post to thank me aswell else it won't count, i make my own rules whenever i feel like!
Hahaha just kidding, i hope people can take some irony over the internet, but just holla when you made you choices JonathanKalo! :]

Thanks JonathanKalo kun!! =D

Why not add a Pastebin or Google Doc with a list of the current nominees, for easy nomination reference?
One of the main issues I've seen with nomination threads is that it's always too hard to see who has already been nominated and accepted :X
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know about that. It just an unnecessary scavenger hunt to find if the person you want to nominate has already been nominated or not, I think.
Flip side, it means you have trouble finding all the people you want to express gratitude to, if you've been nominated, because it's easier to miss the extra nominations people put in for you because they didn't notice earlier ones.
Your show, just pointing out some of the annoyances I've had with other nomination events :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't work if there's multiple people running the show, since only one person can edit.
Also, ends up cluttering the OP, and there -is- an eventual character cap.
I was mostly only suggesting the other two since the OP thing was a pretty obvious option :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly, it's hard because i would need to need to put all that work on Waxlors shoulders since he is the only one able to edit the post.
But as Waxlor said above, we're comin' up with it in the near future we just gonna get some structure to start of with! :)
Hang on tight.
Comment has been collapsed.
I nemenee http://www.steamgifts.com/user/cebola13 because my first won giveaway on SG was created by him:) And overall he is 4 months here and made nice giveaways:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Pearadise and Tzaar should be part of your event too.
Both are very active in the forum and have a generous way of gifting. While Pearadise is more on the soft side with things (making a wild guess: could be female ;D), Tzaar is one speak his mind, straightforward, honest guy wih a big heart his profile says one year, but he's only been around for a few months
Both are due to their generousity above level 5 tho already. Why is that even a rule?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well me & Waxlor had a discussion about this before we made the event and were aware that whatever we will do there always be some people that won't agree, but somewere you have to draw a line.
And it's superduper hard, it's there because we simply wanted all those lower lvls that still are sort of new here & put in alot of work, but maybe gets left in the shadows for different reasons.
So we thought it's their time to get some well deserved minutes in the spotlight for once, im sure Waxlor will jump in here tommorow to fillup on this.
I hope you have understanding tho, i mean it's nothing bad against people that managed to become casual gifters uber fast.
We are actually trying to do this for a good cause, but yeah it's hard too keep everyone satisfied. :|
Comment has been collapsed.
I do realize your intentions and I welcome them very much. I just think a time limit would have made more sense (e.g. no longer on the site than 5 months) than a level limit if you were after new promising users. Why punish generous people that give enough in one or two months to already reach level 6?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, but I'd have to respectfully decline anyway. I'm not much of a joiner, and that spot could be taken by someone much more worthy. :)
Your endorsement and overly kind words make me grin ear to ear and blush a deep red , Eeev. Reading what you've said makes it all worthwhile in itself. XD <3
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm actually grateful for the level 5 limit. With dozens of worthwhile candidates above level 5 that come to mind off-hand, these events tend to be far too exhausting a popularity contest, or whimsical "Okay, I'll pick this person today" affair.
Here, we've got guidelines on activity traits and a narrow level selection pool.
Makes it a bit easier.
Plus side, since everyone that usually gets nominated for these things is level 6+, the level 5 limit does a good job of serving the stated intent of this thread, to make sure more overlooked individuals get nominations.
I think it's actually a rather good judgement call. :)
But yeah, way too many awesome level 6+ people, and not enough ways to express gratitude- I feelja. . =O
Comment has been collapsed.
We thought of that too. In fact it was a rule in an early draft of this event. But that would've cause other problems. Let's say a rule on membership. Like < 6 months. I know a lot of already well known very very active members who speeded to lvl 8/9/10 in merely weeks. Do they really need the extra spotlight we intend to give with this event? Surely they'll get nominated (and i understand why: lovely, giving people!) but they are just not the group we mean to target right now.
Others are sleeping members for months untill they get this site is legit. Or they get 'activated' after a first win or nice conversation with another member. They all would be excluded if we had put up a < 6 months membership rule...
and there's always the 'consolation price' for all those people who are super active and get a high level superfast: no doubt they're already on my whitelist (or will be there soon!)

I'm nominating llSomarll because I won one of my most wanted games from him in a great giveaway where he gave a second chance to people who lost out on that game in a GA from another user. It felt special because that original GA was entered through a puzzle about the game and it got us all incredibly interested in it, so everyone was more sad about losing than usual. I can't really put it into words but it was just such a nice gesture of passing on the love for that game and a generous thing to do.

Tristar for getting to 100 GAs in barely 3 years!
Nah, he/she came back 7 months ago and got restarted :) and is already showing promise as in getting invited to some of the inner circle groups
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the nomination (⌒‿⌒)
in barely 3 years
haha ⌒(o^▽^o)ノ, I wasted spend most of last year on reddit (gamedeals area mostly) Actually only really started my gifting career about 3 months ago. If I had known what all it would bring, I wouldn't have waited so long with it ;-)
Comment has been collapsed.
acolis for being mindful of the little things, such as making his trains search friendly!
80 GAs in less than a year... that's not bad. He might even hit level 5 shortly with the latest train :)

jip he´s a really nice and fun guy, so i would second that ^^

http://www.steamgifts.com/user/Tristar
I love this guy, he's great, he really know the inner dynamics of SG inside and out, I've learned so much from him, and he's definitely been gaining some traction lately and he's on the up-and-up.
10,000+ comments is crazy, really shows his dedication and involvement.
Yes, I know, he's only 5.75 despite being a member for 3 years and I know that his ratio isn't the greatest at approx 1.3 but it doesn't tell the whole story because if you look at his giveaways, the quality and quantity has gone up significantly in the past 2-3 months and it will continue to rise in the following months.
I really think Tristar will be a great foundation for SteamGifts going into the future.
If you have any questions for me, let me know.
Thank you for doing this! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I added Tristar just some comments above, i agree in everything you said!
Also i saw something about him havin' a break during a time coming back a while ago, so that 3years might be missleading aswell.
If you have anyone else on your mind or if it would pop up, please holla back at me cojoha. :]
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the nomination (⌒‿⌒)ノ
christmas is at fault for the ratio, santa brought too many gifts ;-), but now I have even more reason to increase my GA count, but seems I'm lucky enough to just be below lvl 6 to qualify here ^^ will make a level up celebration right afterwards (^▽^)
Comment has been collapsed.
I nominate Mefistofeliks because she is an amazing artist (has won the art-thing contest here not so long ago and made the avatar I rock :3) but is too shy/afraid to participate more in the forums. :( I hope this will help her to shine and make more people to find out she's pretty cool.
ALSO MY SENPAI, BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, I SWEAR! *blushes*

72 valid nominations till now, check here to see who (disclaimer; clean sheet check at start of trains)
Click here to see who already made 1 or 2 nominations...
From time to time there's a big clickbait announcement of great games given away by someone and you enter the thread in anticipation ….
... to find out it's another nomination thread ...
In those threads you see the same names getting nominated time and again and not without reason: they are the ones making all those events, creating the puzzles we have fun with, commenting on anything&everything and giving away ludicrous amounts of games. They are the backbone of our community and they deserve some recognition.
But recently a few far too many!!! of those 'community leaders' have announced they'll be leaving SteamGifts temporarily?!. And that made me and Fruitbean wonder who will be the community leaders of tomorow...
So we thought of this event which is meant to be a nice way to shine a little light on the lesser known heroes of SteamGifts. The people who are kinda new and trying to find out what this community is all about... The people who aren't yet invited to all the cool inner circle groups that are around but will be after this!... The people who are not addicted yet... but have every sign they will be very soon
So please nominate 1 or 2 lesser known heroes who you think will be the community leaders of tomorrow and explain in a few words why (no explanation = no nomination). First come, first serve. So pick your favourites quickly! I wonder how many people find this sneaky link
Rules on nominees:
Rules on nominators:
All valid nominees will be invited to a group and get access to a train with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Primal Carnage, Yosumin, Sparkle 2 Evo, The Last Remnant, Bloodrayne 2, Gyromancer, Journal, Lara Croft & the Temple of Osiris, Bedlam, Just Cause Collection, Monochroma, Tomb Raider: GOTY Edition, Alien: Isolation, Hitman Absolution: Elite Edition, South Park™: The Stick of Truth™, Sniper Elite 3
All nominators of valid nominees will be invited to a group with access to a train with Murdered: Soul Suspect, Millie, Front Mission Evolved, Room 13 and Evil Within
But wait, there's more!
In 6 months we'll check on all nominees to see their progress in becoming the next community leaders. We'll measure their progress in 5 categories:
The top 3 of all categories will get invited to a special group with special goodies. If a winner of a previous category gets another top 3 spot, number 4 will take his/her place and so on. 15 winners in total, no more. Their nominators can expect something too.
NOTE: If a nominee doesn't want to be part of this event, just decline the invite to the group and you're out. Simple as that.
