Contribution to the Nominators train: Lost Planet 3 by JonathanKalo; SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition by nonamebg; Cities in Motion 2 Collection by CowOfDarkness
Contribution to the Nominees train: mystery game by JonathanKalo; Death Goat by nonamebg

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:

  • level 2 to 5
  • more than 50 % public giveaways (and/or private forum giveaways open to the community)
  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans

Rules on nominators:

  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans
  • don’t nominate anyone who nominated you

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:

  • most events/puzzles made since start of event (nominees have to provide links for this one)
  • most ga's made since start of event
  • most comments since start of event
  • most real cv value of ga's made since start of event
  • best known / most popular (measured by some sort of poll)

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.

Probably not as lesser known as you want, but just noticed he meets the requirements.
Tewam. Yes.

He says yes to everything, he must be a great guy, right?

Tewam makes a lot of private giveaways, At least 41 of those should have been open to the community to count as a valid nominee. I think that's the case (and i'm relying a bit on my gut feeling for this one) so: added. Yes.

I'm tochued. Yes. All my private giveaways were for diffrent open puzzles/events. So yes. Lately i've made some public ones too but i have to admit - making them private on forum is much more fun. Thanks ;f Yes.
And yes. I'm great. I think i'm gonna race for 5 level this month. Banana story event is coming closer... YES

It seems Waxlor did a pretty good job getting the list of the nominees so far into the thread for a good overview. :)
I've noticed like 2-3 people not getting reply or so yet, apologioze for that!
I'll try to handle it as soon as i get home, but if you are aware that me/Waxlor didn't get your suggestion on the list yet you might reply here on my comment aswell for extra attention! :]
Just make sure you're person met the req, if you find out they don't you could still support them with a shoutout, small things like that are still very appreciated from my own experience.
Beside of that id just like too add that im very happy to see the positive response & glad to find so many new faces, really means alot!

I really don't like nomination events, and I think they are inherently (and irreparably) flawed. That having been said, this thread seems to be a step in the right direction, so I will grudgingly contribute a giveaway.

SteamedToast really sounds like an awesome guy, he even got nominated few days ago by someone else. We can't accept him as a valid nominee though: too much whitelist/group action...

Ankarabibi added, great explanation!

The whole event went on Steam. There was 1 primary group and a few sub groups - depending on what you have chosen in "You keep jearing a weird noise" thread (we were asked what is the most important thing in oir opinion: love, kindness, inteligence etc) you were invited to the sub group with the same name + to the main group called Toasty Monsters. Then you had to look for something in these groups so you could find giveaways - or sth like that, tbh I've never understood it too good, it seemed a little too complicated to me so I've never really took part in it despite being member of these groups. So don't know what link I could send you except this "You keep hearing a weird noise" thread :) But people seemed to like it. They still creating giveaways for these groups and are active in group discussions from what I've seen today.
Don't get me wrong - I understand your limitations and accept your rules and I'm fine if you won't consider him because he don't fit criteria :) He'll have no hard feelings as well :)

I'll nominate SexyBudgie because she is awesome! does a lot of giveaways, is very active in the forums and of course likes budgies (ahahah yeah I'm a budgie lover that makes me biased :P)
Then I'll nominate MidwestDrifter because he gave me a very useful advice on how to save money on games I want :) I am not sure on how active he is on the forums because I am not checking lots of threads to be honest, but if he goes around giving helpful advices like he did in my thread today then it's worth to nominate him :)

You make me work for it... Heeroo doesn't do a lot of public giveaways so I had to zoom in on the private ones. I've found that a lot of those are made public through the forum, have quite a few entries and a lot of different winners. So: open to community and consequently a valid nominee!

Hahha i can see that, im kinda off right now as i mentioned.. Feeling bad about it but ye, i'll confirm here that he was lvl 5.99 when i checked today..

Nominating PrivateJokerGen

Reason #1
Reason #2

If further explaination is required, I can try to write one with my crappy skills :)

Edit: Found my second Nominee! :D

My second nomination is quinnix
Seems like a fun person.
Apparently a lurker who has (possibly) made a debut on the forum with a train! Maybe some motivation would make the person post more.
Proof for the two lines
Has made many public (and now forum) giveaways.
Can certainly write way better than me (including the ability to make a conversation I guess?)
