Cherry Poppers: group for the unlucky (group closed)

Closed

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).

Winning a public giveaway with 100% probability does not require luck and does not thus count as win for the group. Guns of Icarus was also a beta.

Winning every 13th giveaway means that you are so unlucky that I deem your case hopeless. Unfortunately, not even we can help you.

Even though it says i have 1 game won, that's a beta from developers so that doesn't count right?

Steam has some problems then. You can also use group chat, though I'll head to sleep soon.

That is truly unfortunate good sir. Hopefully that streak of magic crystals will redeem the situation.

I almost feel guilty for applying... it's not like I've done anything to deserve a free game! But thanks for this nonetheless, I think it's a very kind and generous idea :)

There is nothing to feel guilty about, if i got this right there will be no free games, only private group giveaways where all the participants are those who have never won any games before and once you've won you'll leave the group. Or in other words, you get in, wait in the line to get your cherry popped and once done you get tossed out. Which is AWESOME :D lol

This only increases your chances of winning nothing more, which is for me -as i know my luck- in a private giveaway of two participants that i am one of them i still won't be the one who gets picked at the end of the giveaway. lol
