Group has now been closed

It was an interesting journey and I wish to thank all who made it possible: Contributors who generously gave gifts to the unlucky, community for its support & kind words and lastly support members who endured our way too many reroll tickets.

You have my gratitude.

For those that still remain unlucky: There exists few unlucky groups. One could try applying in them. I also recommend visiting forum often for puzzles and hidden giveaways.

Finally some statistics:

  • Founded 15th August 2012. Closed 13th May 2013.
  • Sent over 313 invites (for cherry position). Small number of them were rejected for various reasons.
  • Out of those unlucky cherries, 270 won a game either in group or outside it. Fastest wins inside group were within few hours after joining. Some people won during the application process itself (waiting to get invited).
  • Stats of cherries at the time of invite. Average number of wins: 0.27 (DLCs, betas, soundtracks, public giveaways with 100% chance to win and in the beginning also developer giveaways). Average number of entries: 1013. Average member time: 5.3 months (actually higher as many members were older than year but it only showed as 12 months).
  • Highest number of entries for cherry when invited: 3065 (had zero wins too).
  • Group had 110 poppers. Some never made a giveaway but that was not mandatory.
  • There were 276 giveaways (counting only group giveaways i.e. no private ones), some of them had more than one gift. 63 giveaways ended without any entries. Range was broad: from Fortix to Bioshock Infinite. Lowest chance of winning was 1/56 and highest was 1 (multiple cases).

Just checking whether you haven't forgotten that some people are in the reserve pool (including me) on page 6, because you accepted some other people who are in the reserve pool on page 7, or is there a order of who needs to join the group the most in the reserve pool.

I just went through (hopefully) everyone in the reserve pool. Most had not increased their entries or changed their status and were kept still in the pool. If you are wondering about your case, remind me (in Steam) when you hit 600.

I apply for popper

I've picked up a few games recently, and would love to give someone their first win. I know how exciting it was for me to win for the first time on Steam Gifts, and would really love to be able to give that to someone else. I've even got a very special game planned for my first giveaway for the group if I'm lucky enough to be accepted. Nothing major, but it is a favorite of mine. :)

And I've read the rules. No entering giveaways, since those are for the cherries. Though I do wonder if it's possible for us to make ones that are specifically for everyone in the group, so long as we get permission for it first. I wouldn't mind doing something for the generous contributors sometime.

Accepted or not, thanks for reading my comment and taking it into consideration. Cheers!

In case you want to make a giveaway for the whole group, I recommend making it a private one and posting the link on discussions. This way they will not mixed with regular group giveaways. Discussions are visible only for members so link should remain hidden.

At the moment, I recommend waiting for awhile before creating giveaways as there are multiple ones going on and they tend to eat entries from each other.

Thank you very much! :)

I'll keep that in mind.
Once the giveaways have thinned out a bit, I'll make something for our group.

People as in multiple cases? I have no idea why people would contact you for invite as your name is not mentioned anywhere related to this group (except for two posts in this thread). Have they mentioned how they found you? Thanks for bringing this up. Do not know how can I prevent them continuing doing that but I'll do what I can.

Cherry Request.

I have won the ship, but to say it was bad would be an understatement, and of course it was during that period where virtually everyone (Except me after I won it, dang) got a free copy.

Public win with 600 entries is not bad. I recommend trying The Ship with friends. It is entertaining.
