Hi Staticwolf! That's great to hear. You're also welcome to join, but having played one of your winnings before isn't enough. How about playing your winning Prisoner? I see that next to Castle of no Escape these are your only winnings, playing the latter will do fine for this reason as well, given you snap a few screenshots of your progress. Let me know. :)

Hi Staticwolf, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests on Steam and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group and if yes, with which option?
If I won't get a reply in a week I will simply decline the request, but you would still be welcome to join at a later time.

Method of Applying: Option 1
Game: TIS-100
Note: I already did play it a bit a while back and have 35mins but I guess I can hit the included guidebook again and try to do more of it. Hope I don't have to completely finish this, this game really tests your patience and problem solving skills. :v

Hi ProHunter! You're welcome to join, however please pick a game you didn't play yet. Looking at your winnings only Supraball would qualify, so you can pick that or feel free to pick one from your Steam library instead that has achievements.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played Supraball quite a bit back when it didn't have any achievements or proper matchmaking systems.
Also I'll take up on your option of selecting a second game and I would like to pick "Back to Bed" as the game, since I haven't touched it yet but was planning on playing it and it has achievements, hope it qualifies. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, sorry didn't know so. Playing Back to Bed will do fine, please check in again once you've finished it. :)

Hey,
I would like to apply for entry.
I will be playing Brothers a tale of Two Sons I seem to have about 60 minutes playtime, not really sure about that.
I am not sure if the achivements for that is related to the main story but I guess I will have to document my journey through the game upto the end.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi kleidophoros! You're welcome to join, playing Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons will do fine, as you don't have any unlocked achievements on it yet. Just as a note: you have 1.1 hrs on record already. Please comment again once you have finished the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, no idea about the playtime, I didn't play it before; shame!
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess about a 3rd done, I don't think I will get any achivements though, they are all missable it seems, using screenshots instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just finished, documented it all along. Got half the achivements too, turns out I didn't have to go too much out of my way to get them.
Well if you are not comfortable with this, sure; no biggie, am not in a hurry. But as I said, I have no memory of playing this game before and I started from the beginning this time around.
Will click that Apply button now, feel free to reject if you are not comfortable as I said.
Comment has been collapsed.
Deleted about 20 of them too :P
Cheers, see you around.

Hi SaphSiren! Of course it's okay, you're welcome to join. :) Playing Dark Arcana: The Carnival will do fine. Please comment again when you've finished playing it (on or after Halloween?). ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Even though I like public giveaways, I would like to have an option to gift some specific games worthing to be played to people who will actually do it, so:
Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played.
Edit: By the way is it necessary for the game to have achievements, so the the winner can prove playing it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi EndlessHorizon! You're welcome to join by giving something away you like to see getting played, please press the button "request to join" here and I'll approve it when I see it. As for your question, if the game only has playtime available we approve it based on that (unless it look idled); in the long run members win both games with and without achievements. You are always free to ask for some screenshots in the OP however.
Edit: Approved.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also I suppose that someone should be already in charge of checking the winners instead of the giveaway creators themselves.
First 5 giveaways created!
Comment has been collapsed.
Mostly games without achievements are proved by screenshots of end credits if the winner played the games or some screenshots of games various level to show that the winner put substantial time to play it but didn't like the game to play to its fullest because sometimes games look good in trailer even in some gameplay but when you play it it may not what you hoped for.It happened to me in Homefront 2.Hope this clarifies your question
Comment has been collapsed.
That was very clarifying, thanks. And that makes sense to me, e.g. I wouldn't like to force myself to finish a game by all means while not having fun, gaming supposed to be an entertaining and pleasant experience.

Combat Raccoon: I won this game a few weeks ago. I never got around to playing this but I think joining this group would give me a good excuse to play this game!
One of the reasons I don't create public giveaways is because most of the entries are bots. But I think this group with its requirements would be a great opportunity for sharing games.
So I think option 1 and 2 both work for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi amossong! You're very welcome to join, playing Combat Raccoon will do fine, please check back when you've finished it. If you want to giveaway something, that is fine too, I could approve your invitation directly then. Just let me know. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi amossong, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests on Steam and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group? Sadly since Combat Raccoon has been removed from the store since then, I am unable to confirm if your game progress is enough or not to join, but if you would be still interested we can figure something out.
If I won't get a reply in a week I will simply decline the request, but you would still be welcome to join at a later time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Option 1 or 2? Also I have accepted your friend request on Steam as well, so if you have any questions feel free to ask there as well :)

P.S. No problem if i started first act yesterday?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi GoDDuSS! Sorry for the late reply. You're welcome to join, but please pick a game you didn't start yet that has achievements. There is no time limit, so just pick a game you are planning to play after Quantum Break orso. :) I hope to hear from you.

Yes, Dishonored will do fine! :) Please comment again once you've finished it.

I haven't won any SteamGifts drawings yet, but I would offer up PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate as a drawing. I can't start it right away, but only be able to start it after Sunday night, since I have 4 drawings underway until then.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi kevlarsen! Sorry for the late reply. How things have changed for you I see, you won three games already now. ^^ Congratulations. Perhaps you can consider changing your introduction game to one of them. Playing PixelJunk™ Monsters Ultimate will do fine too, just let me know when you have finished that game or if you want to change it to a winning. :)
