I do for unbundled games, but not for bundled ones. I feel it would be disrespectful to giveaway creators if I farmed cards off games they paid their hard eared money for. I probably should do the same for bundled games, but don't feel anyone would really mind (I know I don't for my giveaways).

Do you blacklist games you won but haven't played yet?

What's IdleMaster?
I blacklist all won games. I'll only get the cards by playing these games.
I blacklist bundled (cheap) games I won, but not unbundled (expensive) ones
I blacklist unbundled (expensive) games I won, but not bundled (cheap) ones
I don't blacklist any game. If I won it, it's mine and the giveaway creator shouldn't feel disrespected.
Whatever Dan Quayle says, I do

why? i plan to play it... when i have time

Because there's no way for the giveaway creator to really know that, and it may be misinterpreted that you only want the game for the cards.

Didn't know that some people actually "follow" you after they gifted you the game,that's weird =O

I don't know if they do (I don't), but I guess it can happen.

They can know from the achievements if the game has them.

I'm bad at getting achievements =D
btw "offline" playing time isn't recorded and it definitely doesn't give any cards, isn't it?

Sure, but a lot of games if not all of them? have achievements that are tied to the story and will unlock no matter what if you're actually playing them. I don't know about offline playing time.

Yeah, most of the games have got achievements for getting past tutorial or early stages of the game. Though I was able to beat whole Story about my uncle without getting single achievement. Same with Banished - you get achievment when your village has got more than 100 people and I have around 30 right now.

Wow, beating a whole game without getting a single achievement? That's new to me. D:

Yeah I know D:

Most of the time I don't care about "beat level using only x weapon, less than x moves, in less than x seconds" achievements and in this game pretty much every achievement is from category "use less than x gripples to complete level" or "don't die during whole level". So I missed them because I didn't care about this xD

If you're disconnected from steam (like when you don't have internet) you won't get drops.

I usually get these cards when I play the game I won,
but due to rules(cards can be farmed only after 3h+,also some games need an hour to drop a single card)
sometimes I can't get them all when I finished the game =d

No, I don't blacklist it. If I participated in a giveaway - means I want to play the game (unless it's just massive developers giveaways, like overture), but if I have no time to play right now does not means cards can't be farmed.
I never thought that this can offend someone or considered as disrespect... If it is so, probably someone thinks I'm a jerk( Dunno what to do now(

No, if I enter a game, I'm eventually going to play it. I only enter games I actually want and fully intend to play. So, it WILL be played...However i'm not going to blacklist a game because I haven't yet gotten around to playing it, or playing it long enough to get all the drops. I don't expect people to blacklist games they win from me.

The only way I would consider blacklisting a game from IdleMaster is if the GA creator specifically expressed that was his wishes in the GA description.

I don't use idle master and I relatively care about cards, sometimes I let them drop manually but then get bored :p

I actually use idle master only for games that i will never play, games that i'm not interested etc. And i never enter for a giveaway if i'm not interested that game. So i use blacklist a lot. But sometimes i forget to put the game i freshly won.

I don't use Idle Master ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Though I can imagine that in case of thousands of owned games and thousands of new coming it's the only way to get all cards.

I only idle games I got from bundles and bartering, and only on my alt account. If I win a game, it stays untouched until I play and finish it. Then I get the cards for the level 5 badge. :)

It feels strange not to play the game if I participated and won, was it bundled or unbundled =o I idle only the games I bought.
But I don't judge my winners if they are not going to play. In case of my unbundled GAs I would just get sad and grumpy =,(

In that case I don't blacklist - I didn't even know I can do it in Idlemaster хD

I haven't so far, but I can see how people might get the wrong idea. Also, since I'm now playing through my won games, I'm a bit sad that a few games show like 3 or 4 hours of gameplay more than I actually put in, but at the same time, if it's a good game, it doesn't make a difference if it's 30 hours or 33 hours, and I'll probably play some more at some point in the future ... maybe ... curse you, ever-growing backlog!
So in conlcusion, I might start blacklisting won games ... I just haven't won anything in a while ^^

sometimes it is not about farm. it is about get cards in advance.
I really don't have time to play right away all games that I win, that's why I enter in just games that I really want to play.
I think this is respectful enough not leech, but play? it requires free time.
free time for someone who is a lawyer, have a girlfriend, have a family, a home to care and lots of other things is something very scarce.
manage someone else's life or demand play whenever gifter want is creepy and way more disrespectful.
if I enter in any giveaway, I can't guarantee that I'll play it in a near future, but I can guarantee that I entered because I plan to play it someday.

A bit like games?

Until I built my gaming PC in August I had about a dozen games in my Steam collection .. :-)

Mind you I think I still only had about 50 games in my Steam library until I joined this site at the end of September ..

Similar collection, yes. I don't buy games I just ell myself I'll play eventually, I keep a tight library instead and spend money on cards. At least with them I know they are useless anyway and don't need additional time invested in them. :)
As for achievements… I always want my games 100%, before achievements were even implemented in games. So it's just a good indicator for me that I did that. (Well, mostly. Some achievements are just dumb and I skip them. :))

I only enter for the games I plan to play and never idle games (I have over 50games which I have to play in order to get the cards).

No blacklist for me. I still intend to play the game even if I initially just had idlemaster idle it for cards.
