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

Sometimes in this community I get really good help. Nice tips and other things I did not know. Sharing knowledge is WL for me.

Most definitely! Sometimes you just need to find that out, it can be hard. Or I'd already have returned every whitelist I got haha.

I whitelist people for being nice or civil (especially if they remained nice or civil while on the receiving end of uncivilness), being close friends, being helpful to me on this or another site, being extremely generous, occasionally for having an excellent ratio, and/or occasionally some other stuff that I don't remember offhand.
I hope to live up to the standards I listed above. I do my best to always be polite, even in my disagreements. I try to be generous, when I can be. I try to be someone who I would look up to, and who both my grandparents and my future kids (if any) could be proud of.
I would like to be on your wishlist if I may please?
Thank you either way.

I whitelist people for being nice, understanding or helpful (not just to me), making community events, playing their wins, sometimes for having a good giveaway ratio.

I usually return whitelists if they pass one of the above criteria. When I have time I use ESGST with some community wishlisted games to find out who whitelisted me.

YES. Thanks to ESGST I found a few WLs I was unaware of, which was a happiness in its own right.

I usually WL if I see people being nice and helpful to others, or if I see we have similar taste in games. I tend to be not to strict on it really.

thank you, I think a good WL candidate is just someone you had good interaction with on this forum. It is your WL after all. If they been nice or good to the community or you happen to like whatever they posted then yea they are a good candidate.

My giveaways are mainly bundle leftovers. Sadly, I don't have enough money to buy a gift specificaly for SG community, although I wish to be able to one day. But right now I am just a poor student trying to stay afloat :(
Lately I did 3 giveaways, all bundle leftovers. Funny enough, I bought two copies - one for me, and one for my girlfriend, mainly so we can play Talisman together. So I had two copies of each leftover and I decided to do something fun with it. I did an open giveaway for one copy of each (one of those you can find for example here), and then I have hidden the link for second copy within the description. The difference in entries was astonishing, so I whitelisted all people that entered the hidden giveaway and left a comment.
So that's how I do it. Not that it means anything, since I haven't created a WL giveaway yet. But I hope to be able to do some cool stuff one day and give back to the community.

So that's what I wanted to share. I dunno whether I am a good WL candidate. I am just myself, judge for yourself.

I completely understand. Almost all my GAs are Bundle Leftovers where I bought a bundle for a bunch of games I wanted or liked, and decided to give the rest away among friends or here. My financial situation is also not optimal. There's not shame in that! You're still giving back, that's all that matters.

Happy early cakeday! About 3 months early but yeah...
So I noticed I voted on the poll but never typed out a reply... I think I had work that day. XD
I'm a weeb. That's the best reason clearly. Other than that I try to be a good person. The ruling is out on that though.
Hm.... Most of all I guess I just like seeing my whitelist count go up. XD It's a good feeling.

When I see people go out of their way to help someone (because I like doing this myself) and when I see in their profiles that they tend to give away good games while not having that many winnings themselves. And people who add fun to the community with interesting posts, starting discussions, asking questions and so on!
P.S. Just whitelisted you, because you fit multiple of these XD
