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).

The rules state that you are required to have zero (0) wins (with a few exceptions) in order to be accepted as a cherry. As for being a popper, the only requirement is that you do not enter cherry drawings.

No as mentioned by Khalaq. Requirements are for wins, not for ratios so single win (within defined types) prevents joining as cherry. Also, being developer/featured giveaway or not has no impact.

There exists a group for statistically unlucky people who are more of what you are looking for.

Applying as a popper, it took me about a year and ~2k entries before winning my first game (Faerie Solitaire with 100% chance to win) because I wasn't lucky enough to have a group like this around at the time. I think that the idea is great and, while I can't give away games as often as I'd like, I wouldn't mind throwing an occasional game to the group to help someone ;)

Reserve pool (for poppers).

Still putting people on reserve as number of cherries is low at the moment.

What do you mean? I've entered 500 giveaways and I've been a member for a month, no?

Aye, they are minimum requirements to be able to apply for cherry position. The very next line after them states "Meeting these values does not guarantee an invite."

ah sorry, I forgot about that :p So what is the optimum value to have before I can join?

Comment has been collapsed.

There are no strict values after minimums but I would wager that once your estimated wins gets close to one, chances of acceptance are better.
