Notable Odds - A close-knit gaming community on Steamgifts since February 2012!

Deadline to make applications: December 3, 2013

Status: Members invited


Greetings, community!

It's my pleasure to announce that the Notable Odds is recruiting new members for both the open and private portions of the group again. The open part of the group is open for anyone to join, assuming they meet some minimal requirements.

By being a member of the Notable Odds, you will be able to participate in many events that we organize/d, such as Creative contests(Writing/Drawing/Photography/Singing, with prizes), poker tournaments (with prizes), inter-group battles in TF2 and other games(and co-ops), maybe even some giveaways now and then and etc..

We are looking for people who:

  • 1) are active;

  • 2) nice to chat with;

  • 3) and interested in playing games together and joining contests/events.

We are NOT looking for people to make giveaways, and you will never be expected to.

We are not interested in beggars, cheaters, or annoying people in general.


If you're interested in being a part of our community, please comment bellow indicating your interest, and whether you wish to also be considered for the private part of the group, and make sure you meet these requirements:

  • 1) A good Steam rating

  • 2) A good comment/entry ratio(2:1), my profile as an example

  • 3) No prior substantive suspensions.

  • 4) To keep the number of members manageable: at least $50 contribution value on steamgifts.com

  • 5) Not someone who was just kicked from the group due to inactivity.


Those wishing to join the private portion are subject to a few further requirements. In addition to meeting the usual requirements and abiding by the usual rules:

  • Applicants should have a minimum gifted value of $150.

  • Members are expected not to leak private giveaway links (obviously).

  • Members are required to have at least 15 points' worth of giveaways shared only with the other members of the private part of the group every two months.


Some final information:

1) If you are interested in joining the giveaways part of the group, you will have a better chance if you participate in the group and show us that you are a nice fellow. We still re-evaluate that kind of membership at the beginning of every month.

2) The confirmation answer that you read and agree with the rules is potato.

3) The admins reserve the right to kick people out of the group without explanations. However, this only happens when people are caught disrespecting SG rules, leaking private links, or disrespecting people in general.


Please note that these requirements are guidelines to give you an idea of how we select new members from amongst the applicants*. They are ultimately flexible and if you are interested in joining, you should feel free to say so in this thread.

*We use them as rough benchmarks for character, experience, activity, participation, and similar qualities we desire in applicants. We very frequently take mitigating circumstances into account.


TL;DR? - You won't be invited ;)

Feel free to join our chat. It’s open for guests, but don’t beg for invites there, don’t idle, and don’t attempt to add or message group members privately to ask for invites.

Comment/entry ratio is always a funny requirement, considering the average quality of threads that pop up on this forum.

There are some big words talking about these requirements, its not that hard to read.

I'm not talking about your specific number, I'm talking in general about the notion of "more comments and less entries = more valuable member of community". This does not automatically mean quality to anyone with a basic experience in online communities. It's also funny how you take a jab at me for my ability to read, while I never referred to your requirements and instead attacked the notion of comment/entry itself.

All in all, it's meant to be a bump because yours is a decent group from what I've heard, so best of luck with your recruiting and have fun: it's all that matters, internet arguments don't count, ever.

I would love to join tho I am bit lacking with the comments section. I hope it's not too much big of a deal if I can somehow prove that I can be active.

I'm also curious what's the difference between the public and private group? I'm pretty sure nothing is said about he difference anywhere and I've read your thread a few times already...maybe I'm just blind...

The public part of the group is where group giveaways are made for everyone. The private area of the group (aka the Notable Gifters), is a select group of people from the public section who make private giveaways for private members only. It's hard to explain, but I hope that helps. You should stop by the chat and say hi!

Public is like a regular community group, where people chat, play games, do stuff together... Private part is a giveaway group inside the group.

I would like to join because I love potatos, especially with onion. I meet all the requirements except second. Besides you said "whether you wish to also be considered for the private part of the group", so I want to say that I'm not sure I would be a good member of this elite part.

I'm interest in joining and I believe I meet all the requirements except for entry/comment ratio. The reason being is that I refuse to post the boring and generic "thanks" comment on all the GAs I enter. I will only post if I have something of value to say. I have never been kicked from a group and I have a collection of steam keys to easily meet the $15 mark every time. I was also a potato farmer in a past life.

I don't have quite the best comment/entry ratio, but I'm interested in joining. I'd also be interested in joining the giveaway section :-)

What games does the group often play?

Comment has been collapsed.

Outlast.

In a more serious tone, I believe Bordelands 2 and PAYDAY 2 are curent favorites among the members, but various people like and play various games.

I'll pass, if it was Outlast then I would like to join, such a fun game. But Borderlands and Payday are too scary for me, horror games makes me go full potato mode....

I would like to join for some more coop action. Participating in contest and giveaways would be great also! I am familiar with many of the members & have been suggested to join in the past as well.

My comment ratio doesn't meet your requirement but I ofton just don't comment on a giveaway with no description. Either way I always comment in a private or group GA.
