Hi ExcelElmira, you are welcome to join, sorry.

Hi ChocolateVC, you are welcome to join by playing Luck be a Landlord. However I do have a question about the game since I see you already played it after your comment: are the floors like some difficulty settings or are they just their own thing and you gotta beat them all to beat the game?

Hi chaosttc, sorry for the late reply. You are welcome to join but please pick a different game:

The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements.

Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island took me a whooping 35 minutes to complete. It doesn't need to be an extremely long game, but I would definitely classify 35 minutes as very short.

Hi chaosttc, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group?
If I won't get a reply in a week I will reject your join request, but you would still be welcome to join in the future if you change your mind :)

Hi JRMensa,

idle time does not get counted as actual playtime. You are nowhere even close to having 4,5 hours of playtime.

from FAQ:

What is the group's policy towards idling, using tools to unlock achievements or changing game files?
Idling is allowed; we have tools that will take that into account and subtract your idle time from the playtime to get the real playtime. If a game only has playtime, please upload a few screenshots of your play session to Steam.

Emphasis is mine.

The game clearly states on the store page that it is not a singleplayer game, so if you can't play multiplayer games you should have never entered the giveaway to begin with.

You still get the same contributor value for group giveaways, as long as you get at least 5 entries on it! I'm sure these all would, just make the giveaway length a few days or more! Most of those games would probably be reduced value (*) as they're from bundles! There's lots of nice games in there that will get you to a pretty high level and would be great for Playing Appreciated :)

You could create the giveaways for this group and your whitelist, if by rare chance you don't have 5 entries and it's ending soon go to this thread https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/t3RIy/the-perpetual-i-need-5-entries-for-a-giveaway-thread and ask if anyone is interested in the game(s) then add them to whitelist :) If those people are not part of Playing Appreciated they won't have to follow the play within 1 month rule though

When you visit a group's page on here there's a search bar on the left, so you can see how many entries a game might get, I put in 10 Second Ninja X https://www.steamgifts.com/group/mfUoP/playing-appreciated/search?q=10%20second%20ninja%20x (Some people share to many other groups or have a big whitelist) But it's a better example than nothing to see what you might expect :)

Hi noahnao, I think you already got your answer in my previous comment.

Hi 76561198082881386, congrats on 100%ing it! :) I have sent you a friend request on Steam so I can reinvite you. Please send me a message when you accept so I don't forget.(2fast4me) Also please note that if you ever get kicked again you won't be able to rejoin.

Recruitment is completely closed unless you already have a join request open from before or you want to rejoin the group. Sorry.

I was so confused at first, had no idea what day it was :D

I mean…recruitment is currently closed. It’s in the post title, and right above you as well.

As you were already told, the recruitment is closed. Feel free to reapply if/when it reopens.

Read some of the replies from MouseWithBeer, recruitment is unfortunately closed until further notice

And because its closed you can't join :)

Invite sent, welcome back to the group! :)

Hi RequiemAngeL.
No, and I am not sure why you just copied the message above.

Discussion title says [Closed]

Hi MrTrk, you can't.

Hi cami666, as it is mentioned in the title of the topic and multiple times in the comments on this page, the recruitment is closed, so no, you can't join.

You can ask the winner if you want and hopefully they would be nice enough to fulfill your wishes, but we won't enforce it.

The playtime it shows is correct and intentional, however you do not have to play for 90 hours. From the FAQ:

Playtime
Playing the game at least half of the average or story playtime would be a good minimum target to aim for. For games that are longer than 10 hours, playing it at least 5 hours would be sufficient (if you then still don't like the game, so be it and we won't make you play it any longer). Ideally you should play any game to completion though. When you login to the group tool, you can see the playtime we use.

The emphasis is mine.
