Have more than 800P in your account balance.
That's rather not possible currently, 400 is max.
Btw, I know another site which have giveaways and similar achievements. They've even prize for unlocking - more points.

I've not exceeded 400P myself but I'm pretty sure 800P can be done. Per the FAQ:
In the below situations you might exceed the maximum point value.
- You manually remove a giveaway entry, and points are refunded.
- A giveaway you entered has been deleted. When this occurs, all users that joined the giveaway will have their points refunded.
- You win a game while having other active giveaway entries for that same game. In this case the site will automatically remove those entries to prevent the possibility of you winning the game twice, and the points will be refunded.
- Your account is synced after purchasing a Steam game and you have active giveaway entries for that game. The site will automatically remove those active giveaway entries since they're no longer needed, and the points will be refunded.
Didn't know achievements for giveaway sites is a real thing though, color me surprised!

I have 755P right now. Almost enough for achievement

Enter a bunch of giveaways that wont end for at least a few days.
Wait until you hit 400 points, and then leave those giveaways.
People repeat this by entering and leaving giveaways before they end, repeatedly.
There was a thread from about a week ago talking about collecting well over 1,000 points, and those responding were posting their own high points.

I've had 600P before due to exiting giveaways I entered after my points reached 400P again :3

I understand it isn't serious, but this is how I feel:

Cute gif :3 I for one think it has the potential to add some fun though, just not worth the effort to implement it hehe

I was never a fan of achievements, even in games, and now it seems like they are showing up everywhere. I have a negative feeling towards them because I associate them with companies abusing certain psychological traits of humans to manipulate people into doing things they wouldn't otherwise do.

Heather Chaplin, writing in Slate, describes gamification as "an allegedly populist idea that actually benefits corporate interests over those of ordinary people".

I can see where you're coming from, although I personally am fine with it. Good thing for you that it's nigh impossible SG will add this feature ever :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It wouldn't bother me that much since I can ignore it, I just don't like how it is used to manipulate people.
I wouldn't be so confident about it never getting added. CG isn't as active anymore, but he does make some changes to the site once in a while. I feel like he would prioritize a feature that would get more people to use or continue using the site. Making the site more addicting and retaining users would benefit him. Even though I don't like it, having more people use the site would probably be a benefit for the community.

Thank you for linking to that changelog thread! I’m still quite new to the site and while I’m aware of cg’s role as the site admin, I’ve yet to become more familiar with the site’s past, present, and future :)

as someone who often makes typos, I would unlock that achievement many times over ;)

Ohh that's quite the list, you're seriously good at this! Coming up with enough ideas to hide the puzzle already had me struggling a bit haha
Isn't the "Founding Member" achievement an approximate equivalent of Steam achievements that can only be earned during the Early Access period though XD

Thanks for that secret update, you forgot say achieving these secret achievements will increase users chance to win giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
And those who achieved all SG achievements will have an 100% chance of winning every GA they enter
Wait what if there are more than 1 entrant who has 100% achievements
Easy enough, the gifter will need to provide one copy each to every entrant with 100% achievement or they'll be suspended

I did consider that, but then it would annoy me that all of us who actually paid for Skyrim would never be able to unlock it 😁

I actually had a similar idea (mine was Skyrim or Bad Rats) but scratched it for the exact reason XD

Once a dev reads this wonderful idea, what possible feature could they more hope to work on but Achievements!?!?!

This is great!
I actually earned the Nick of Time achievement recently, joining a GA in the last 5 seconds and won it !

Wow that sounds sooo satisfying!
The only achievement I’ve unlocked out of the six in my post is Not My Day. It was a group giveaway with 3 copies and 5 entries and I didn’t win it, which was actually part of this post’s inspiration XD

I wonder how bad the achievement farming would get...

Steam Achievements arguably don't provide any tangible benefits yet using SAM to cheat achievements is still a thing, so yeah, I say it'd be pretty bad :p

I know this is not serious... but seriously, this is a pretty cool idea!

It's sure an idea, I'll give ya that. TBH I would give a crack at them if there was achievements. :]

First puzzle of this kind that I solve! I did not know that it was a thing here.
THX for the giveaway and puzzle!

Oh it is very much a thing here, and my puzzle is only the most basic and simple sort :) Congrats on solving it!

What if SG had an achievement system? Anyway, here are a random assortment of achievement ideas for SG.
In case the title wasn't clear, this post is not a serious feature request to SG at all. Thank you for indulging me with my intrusive thoughts. Good luck and have fun gaming! :)
