I totaly forgot about "Sir, You Are Being Hunted". Saw once in a youtube channel and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

The idea is incredible, with tons of private effort and work, the community is enriched by people like you <3

Thanks for the great giveaways! Might seem like a dumb question, but what group am I to join in order to be allowed in the giveaways?
Happy holidays :D

Merry Christmas, Tumalu. I am too lazy to make such an event!

Thanks for all these GAs Tumalu. I came across some of them while just browsing GAs and was pretty confused at the numbers and seemingly random game titles. Now that I found the thread it makes sense lol. Merry Christmas!
Out of curiosity, do you enjoy receiving "thanks" comments on your GAs, or no? Not trying to start any argument or anything, I'm just curious since I never really know if I should thank a lot in these big batch GAs. I've been learning certain people's preferences.

Ah, a very good question. one that I would love to answer in excruciating detail.
Before I begin, I'm just going to say that I'm a very cautious and detail-oriented person, so I will be very skeptical on how comments are worded or the tone that is conveyed.
I welcome thank you comments in my giveaways. If people go above and beyond and repeatedly show me effort I will notice them eventually. I can't guarantee that I'll notice everyone though, since I'm only attentive half of the time. The other half of the time I'm a complete bonehead and fail to take any mental notes.
Usually, I will not respond to generic comments, but I try to respond to as many as I can if I have anything interesting to say. Lately, my brain has not been quite so creative so I haven't been commenting as much. This huge list of giveaways is mostly to blame since it has kept me quite busy over the past month or so.
And if people say the same comment repeatedly in public giveaways, that will definitely raise a red flag. I won't blacklist them, but I'll probably never whitelist them either.

Couldn't think of a clever title to use, so I just settled with a generic one.
I was originally planning to wait until a few weeks into December, but I caved and bought some of the games in advance because of the deals, so why not get started early?
I have never considered myself to be a "generous" giver. Other than a few build your own humble bundles, I've only been giving away cheap bundle games. With the holiday season incoming, I felt like doing something extra special for the community - so here is my one-time debut at being "generous". I wanted to come up with an original idea, so here's what I concocted.
My motivation for this idea:
1.) This community is amazing loves to spend money on others. This is but a small token of my appreciation towards the community's awesomeness.
2.) I wanted to do something special for the community this holiday season.
3.) If I saved this idea for next year my wallet would murder me in my sleep.
So, without further ado, here's the scoop:
To date, I have
919397 wins on this site. Therefore, I have created919397 giveaways to "mirror" my amazing journey here on Steam Gifts. Each giveaway will be the same level and same type (group/invite only/public, bundled/non-bundled). However, instead of whitelist giveaways, I have elected to make group giveaways in order to have a wider audience.I didn't really plan this well enough, so I don't have most of the gifts ready at the moment. I'll be banking on the Steam Holiday Sale to have what I want, so hopefully that will go well. I'll be slowly rolling the gifts throughout the month, so check back occasionally. I apologize for not dropping them all here at once, my planning was pretty terrible. :P
Also, something extra for the people who read.
In the process of preparing for this idea, I made a silly mistake.
If I don't get enough people joining, I'll unlock the thread and make it public.
Please bear in mind The Ten Tummandments:
1.) Thou shalt not complain about group giveaways. (I realize this idea isn't perfect since it doesn't prevent "exclusion". You will most likely not be in all the groups, so do understand that you won't be able to join all the giveaways.)
2.) Thou shalt not complain about being blacklisted.
3.) Thou shalt comment at least once. (I spent a lot of time planning for this event, so please show me a tiny amount of effort as well. Please don't be invisible.)
4.) Thou shalt comment freely. (No special "comment requirements" other than commenting at least once. You are free to spam as much as you'd like.)
5.) Thou shalt visit YunieRozier's giveback thread. (Link!: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/vf9zl/, Please consider creating a giveback giveaway if you haven't already.)
6.) Honour thy non-bundled wins. (All non-bundled games are either on my wishlist or games that I value highly. Please treat them with respect.)
7.) Thou shalt not regift. (This should be self explanatory).
8.) Thou shalt be patient. (There will be over 100 giveaways. It'll take some time to give out all the gifts. Please be patient and respectful during this period of time.)
9.) Thou shalt mark the gift as received. (There are quite a few level 0 giveaways here, so I'm way out of my comfort zone. Please don't make me regret this.)
10.) Thou shalt have a wonderful holiday season.
One last thing:
If you were on my blacklist: Check again. Merry Christmas. :)

Incoming bundled games: 0
Incoming non-bundled games: 0
Edit: I originally wanted to keep this thread on the down-low to give people better chances at winning.
After pondering for a bit, I've decided that Christmas should be about sharing, so the more the merrier.
I will now update the thread title with the latest update date and the total number of active giveaways.
Merry Christmas, Steam Gifts!
