thats one of my basic things, i dont join on chances or entries in general but on games i favor the most. but as it will probably go for most people those games are pretty new most of the time and hold a few thousands entries ;)

Well, you shouldn't be surprised you don't get too many wins then, I haven't won a single game with thousands of entries for a new game yet or something pretty good, but non bundled.
I win mostly indie games, but with lower number of entries, sometimes some decent games and I play them from time to time. I won Stikbold! recently and I enjoy it.

so true, afterall you have nothing and for joining who knows you might get something :)
in the end it doesnt really matter, if you instantly want a game why not buy it, right?
but it does bug me somethimes, i see people winning give away and wenn i check there accounts it says joined 3 months ago, wins 50+ with some nice A games in there list, sometimes i wonder what i did to mess up my karma :P

well, you are just giving away 2 really good games to the public with no level restriction, next time consider joining a group with non bundled giveaways and try your luck, they don't get too many entries and I can bet you will win something nice

yeah i was actaully thinking about that, but i am a bit lazy in searching for a nice group. plus iam not always stable in my give aways, i jump from multiple to none every now and then.
i did decided this is my last give away below lvl 2 though, decided as i am letting them end on kingsday (holland) (27th of april) this is my last 'public' giveaway to the masses ..

you have done pretty well in my opinion, some nices games between your wins also :)
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks ;) well most of the time i enter giveaways that have more the 1 copy ( like from 2 to 1000) and when there is not much people in it so that way i have more chance to win ^^

i was actually wondering if a lot of people use an auto joiner.. (wich might explain there amount of wins.(dont know what the rules say about it though) i do notice on multiple giveaways i get 1 person to join all in 5sec and give the same thank you text, i doubt they do it by hand (i mostly blacklist those people.)

Bump for lost points..
Also, I had the same 2 days ago with an extremely low winpercentage.
Yesterday I won 1 GA, this morning another. Totally unexpected :)
Apart from that in the short while being here I have come to appreciate the site as a community more than the possibility of winning a game that can be bought for a few bucks?
I generally just enjoy hanging around and reading, commenting I guess :). I have to admit there is a compulsatory getting rid of the 300p I have every time I check the site again. Which proves to be somewhat of a challenge if you do not join GA's for games you know you aren't going to play :)
Anyway, good or better luck to you!

I've won 22 giveaways in one year here, according with SG Stats i've been unlucky and should have won 9 more but i don't think i would complain about that, i won really nice games from really nice people, without even mentioning the nice community here, overall, i feel lucky.
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks all for the kind words :) i just hope that on the ones i dont win, the games end up with someone who will play and enjoy them :)

For me, it is like that: Overall, you've been lucky, and won 1 more gift than estimated since you first joined.
Well, I'm TheLuckyShamrock, so what did you expect? ;P I'm lucky. :D
About you, you could try entering giveaways with a small number of entries. And, I suppose that these stats come from the number of giveaways that you enter and the number of giveaways you win, so you could try entering fewer giveaways from now on. :P
Thank you for the chance. ;P

I just won another game. Now, it says: Overall, you've been lucky, and won 2 more gifts than estimated since you first joined. :D

Based on the finished GAs you have entered, you would expect to have won approximately 144.6 of them but you've actually won 142. You've won 98% of expected GAs - unlucky! ..... but i still feel pretty lucky.....
about you, dont listen people here, if it says, you are unlucky, you are unlucky.....if you enter at ga with a lot entries, you have small chance to win and this addon looks at every ga you entered and based on entries, it count expected wins you should have.....so yeah, you are unlucky on numbers of win, but sometimes is maybe better win less games you really want, than won a lot games, you just want to only try or just +1 in library
gl in future

Lucky you ^.^ It must be so awesome to see them in their natural environment. And Australia / New Zealand in general seem to be wonderful places. You must have spent an eternity on the airplane though ö.ö May I ask how many hours? (Aye, I sneaked on your profile to find out where you are from ^^)
My longest flight was... can't remember, but I visited some distant relatives in Canada and I know that this flight must have been rather short compared to the time it takes to reach Australia.
Oh and cute Avatar ^.^ Although I can't completely trust these big blue eyes after I saw his deadly brothers ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
flight sucked.. :) been to BC canada 2 years ago that was a 10h flight, this was amsterdam - hongkong 13h and hongkong - melbourne 9hh
return flight sucked even more, i went from nadi fiji to sydney (4h) 3h wwaith then sydney - hongkong (13h) another 4h waith then hongkong - amsterdam 9h i believe it was, including carrides (2x 2h ) over 40h of traveliing :O but is stayed there for about 9 weeks so it was worth it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Eww, that sounds awful ._. I guess you were quite dead when you finally arrived at home again.
But 9 weeks is indeed a nice stay :3 Enough time to actually see something of the a country, although it would be so easy to spend double the time exploring, I guess. I stayed in Canada for 6 weeks and in the end not only did it feel like home (I admit, that might have been because of my relatives), there were also a ton of things left that I would have liked to see.
But what did Dorothy say: "There's no place like home."
Comment has been collapsed.
vacations are always to short, :) but the moment i win the lotery everything will change :P
then again i guess the time traveling is a sacrifice we have to make :)
Comment has been collapsed.
True ö.ö
Say, what country would you travel to if you could choose any? >3 If money or the language wouldn't matter?
I would love to see Japan, or to be more precisely, the rural areas of Japan along with some nice temples and places tourists usually don't see (okay, some tourist attractions as well, because I would die to set foot on the cat island <3). And I would like to visit (South) Korea as well. The photos of the landscapes (of both countries) are always so stunning, must be great to see it with your own eyes.
The only problem is, I can neither speak japanese, nor korean and I assume I would be pretty lost as soon as I leave the big cities.
But maybe, some day, I'll learn the languages and fulfill my dreams :3
Comment has been collapsed.
good Q.
for one if money wouldnt be an issue and i have no work that i need to go to. i would try to visit every country on the world map :)
but for now, i still want to do africa (but mostly because i want to see the big 5 in the wild), also want to visit south/mid america some day, east coast america. other parts of canada, and the coastline fo thailand, Japan, great wall of china. :)
lots of places to go and see basicly :P
Comment has been collapsed.
That sounds like a long and exciting to-do list ^^
Africa would probably kill me, since I can't really handle heat too well and get a sunburn in no time. But apart from that, it must be a great place. I mean, there are lions O_O Big, cuddly cats! They can't be that different from their small cousins, they also like boxes and stuff, right? >3
Have you already visited the Niagara Falls? If not, you have to watch them fom the canadian site :p Americans might hate my, but my relatives told me that you have a nicer view from their side and I agree, it was stunning.

my next visit off canada will include the niagara falls :)

well it seems i have been pretty unlucky on this site overall.
"Overall, you've been unlucky, and won 15 less gifts than estimated since you first joined."
probably coming up close to -16 by now.
iam a stats freek and i love data and the statisticks it withhold, but as iam also a logical person, this bugs me a bit telling me 'the site is not worth the trouble'.. but then again i still play the lotery and hardly win anything there either :) so lets keep on joining :)
so in conclusion i can state:
Here have two giveaways:
This war of Mine
Southpark the stick of thruth
