So I put up my first WL-only GA and I have about 88 people whitelisted. No idea if that's a lot or not, but I'm always looking to expand! I chose a game I enjoyed before I joined Steam, Beholder, and I hope others may enjoy it as well. If you're on my WL you can obviously see it on my profile already, and if not, you may be able to soon! (It runs for about 2 weeks so there's time <3 ) For being so kind to even have a look at this, I'll just leave this here for you to have a peek at.

I hope I will be able to provide a few more neat GAs in the future, and especially to find something that my blue hearts will enjoy. It's been almost a year since I joined SG and I've been having a lot of fun! In the meantime I'll do my best to keep on giving what I have to spare for you all <3 But enough of the blue cheese. Drop me a line or two about what makes you a good WL candidate. In the meantime, I thank you all for your guidance in finding my way on SG. See you around!

EDIT
Oops this is already a lot more fun than I anticipated! I love you guys <3

Eh... I have this random picture of a studying dog as my profile picture. Also, I love to add others on my WL. If I happen to win someone's GA I always add that user, but from certain threads like this I do the same if I'm accepted. This time I just added you first.
P.s. I already have Beholder, but expanding WL is good enough... isn't it?

I whitelist for a few reasons, but first and foremost either for generally being really nice, or for contributing to the community either via GAs or interesting forum stuff. Or, the first few times I see a GA for a new release I'm super hyped about, I almost always WL the creators.

I'd like to be on your WL because I'm generally quite nice, and it would make me feel warm and fuzzy if you did :)

I would like to join your WL.

Criteria for being on my whitelist include; being helpful and active on the forums, decent ratio but not exclusively, getting to know you through the forums or groups, general behaviour and attitude towards other SG members, politeness and thanking people for winning giveaway etc.

I like to think I am a decent WL candidate due to the above criteria and overall made a few giveaways through my two years or so on SG. I would also like to think I've been helpful to people on this forum and contributed where I can. Regardless of whether you add me or not, I hope you find the right people for YOU.

Well, I don't actually need Beholder because I have it and beat it!

Have you played the beta for #2 yet? It's so great so far! Can't wait!

If you still want to add me to you WL though:
I add people to my whitelist if they seem like an awesome person! And sometimes if I just see their games showing up when I choose "group"

I always give games that I have played before and enjoyed or ones that sound interesting to me.

I don't like giving away games just for CV or whatever. I want others to play the games I like! I'm going to give away Orwell soon because I just beat it and it was SO GOOD. Gonna get season 2.

I keep postponing the beta because backlog haha! I played Beholder on Origin originally, it was great. One of these days I'll get around to nabbing the Steam achievements for it too.

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, Beholder is a great atmospheric game, it was a pleasure to play it. I hope one day to play DLC too 😹

About WL... It's all about persons which I am grateful to. I like events and those who participate in them. Event for me is not only trains/puzzles but some types of conversations too (like this 😊). Sometimes I add those who had gifted me games which I am particularly interested in, to gift them something back later. But any gifter or thread maker deserves a cat gif 😹

I have Beholder, but enjoy whitelists. I have no specific reason for having myself added. I don't really do much here in the public part anymore for some of the usual reasonings. I mostly private gibs these days, due to less hassle and less tickets, etc. and I will also give away the occasional whitelist game of my own. ^_^

I whitelist for many reasons initially, and then if over a period of time it isn't returned, I need to remove 'em. Especially if they are not very active, in a general sense. My odds for what I give away are already too bad for the good folks in there that should have better chances at winning games... so I'm trying to find the right group still, mixing, matching, removing a lot nowadays... Anyway, my being added doesn't decrease any odds, so it's a moot point as far as that goes on the other side of things, hypothetically.

I WL for all combined reasons.
Mostly for the statistics and a friendly acting.
I am strictly against the Autojoiners, cv extreme farmers and such ones (if they are high ranked or give much is not from interest for me when they fall under that named categories -yes i am strict-)

Why i am a good WL candidate.
Look at my GA's (no cv extreme farming and no spamming of shi* games...), my statistics, see that i make WL GA's, look at the entry numbers (i have around 140 on my WL) and mostly i am a friendly guy :o)

I still have the Beholder Game

I mainly whitelist people that I see being good sports in the discussion section. Be it making fun events, interesting topics or just making a huge train. (cough 4500 carts?! cough) That, and personal friends, not that I have many.

And why I would be a good candidate for a WL?... I'm not. Absolutely horrible. Abyssmal ratio, little community involvement, not very funny either. I'm kinda an asshole too.
The only good thing about me is my self-deprecating humour, though it's not so much humour as me just listing my flaws and people thinking that I'm joking.
