Hello guys and gals,

Next month is a special birthday for me as something personal is going to happen on that day.
i'm not going to tell what but its pretty awesome for me.
Anyway, i would like to say that i'm not a guy who goes around spamming thanks on every giveaway i enter as i believe thats just bull.
I wouldn't want everyone to say thanks when i'm giving away, as long as the winner does it after recieving its oke.
But to show that i'm really no "leech" or whatever kids call people like me these days i came up with this plan.
I hope you guys will like it.

December being a holiday month for everyone, but i will up the stakes.
I will create a group next month with a max cap of 31 people.
31 Games will be given away(i will buy them as soon as i know wich one i want to give)
There will be some decent games,awesome ones and a few "lesser" indie games(sometimes indie can prove even better)
so 1 december i start the give aways but when you win one, you get kicked out of the group.
Everyone in the group will win a game eventually :)

As i said 31 days = 31 people but i reserve 6 slots to people i know IRL and to the ones from wich i recieved a gift after winning a giveaway :)

So basicly i will invite 25people in the group.
I would love some feedback on this idea and also some ideas about how to select the "25" :)

Remember: DONT be greedy :)

EDIT: The one that provides me with the ultimate idea for choosing the 25 people will be invited as one of my "6"

Happy early birthday, I hope you'll have a truly epic birthday!! Here, let me give you a birthday hug in advance!! c(◕ ‿ ◕)っ hugs Amnesia85

I really like your idea!! As for choosing the people for the group, I'd suggest you make a puzzle and the first people to solve it will get an invite. I'm not sure if I could get into the group that way myself (I'm not very good at puzzles), but it's just a suggestion. Its up to you to decide how to choose the people, but I really like this awesome idea. :D

I like the idea. Pretty generous on your side. :)

As for picking people... Can't really come up with anything that isn't arbitrary. :(

Just invite people you like. If someone has a name or avatar that makes you smile, leaves a comment that makes you laugh or brightens your mood, or just has similar tastes and you'd like to play a game with them sometime, snag 'em. You're turning this into a social activity, after all - you should socialize with people you appreciate having around.

In my opinion this is a great idea,a group where the people will win something and could be greatful for it,this is really a briliant idea,i'm not sure how you pick your group members but I hope I will be one of those,if not,still a big thanks!

First: the idea for such a groups is great ;)
And I really liked "Razuto22"'s idea.

Another possible solution would also be:

  1. Everyone could propose two games (at least one indie game and the second one can be a new AAA game, an older game or another indie game they already have played and loved.
    1. Then they have to say what they loved about the games and why you should take these for the group-giveaways.
    2. The 25 people with the games and their reasons given to you, that you liked the most will be invited into the group and
    3. you use these 25 games(one game from each invited person) as giveaways for your group) and still have 6games left completly for yourself to decide. ;)

Hopefully I didn't describe it too complicated.

Probably select a few that will actually play together, would be awesome being in a group with co-op games being given away like Trine 2, Awesomenatus, Castle Crashers, and they aren't really that expensive :)

Happy Birthday =)

If u wish to choose people randomly you can copy the nicknames and put them in the list:

name1

name2

name3

random order, yea It will take some time :/

Then you just put that list into this http://www.random.org/lists/ website randomly sorts the names, and u can get random set of people, from 1 to 25 or something :)

The way to select the 25 people should be done fairly, but the question is how. Perhaps something like a good old fashioned game of internet hide and seek :) hide a specific phrase somewhere here on steam gifts, and those who take a screenie of it and post it to you should get it :) or at least something similar

BTW grats on the special month. I hope it all goes well for you :)

My idea:

Have a fortix giveaway (cheap), make a puzzle or some kind of game to hide it. First 25 people who enters the giveaway will get a spot. To mix it up a bit have them say a phrase or a word in the comments box, hide the phrase/word somewhere else as well. Failure to input the phrase/word will not guarantee them a place.

Also, happy birthday next month. :)

It´s great idea, and i´m happy that you share your money !
and the idea for choosing 25 people ?
just find random number generator, and the number you get, find commenter of comment of that number, and invite him : )
like now there are 159 comments, you get generated idk, number 46, so you invite that one with 46. comment!
Hope you´ll read it.
anyway, Happy birthday,
Good job !

If you are doing a HOARD giveaway I definitely want to be in this group.
And, Happy Birthday.
If you give me your address, or a PO box, I will send you a Postcard from my city as a birthday gift.

Happy birthday in advance! ^_^

Make the choice by looking at what type of games these people have played and what they would like to play. Anyways, I know it's not the brightest idea, but I just wanted to share it with ya. Good luck on making the group!

I like the idea a lot, It's very generous of you.
If it was me I would probably go through the comments and choose the people myself.
