You see, I'm a bit of an Achievement Whore.

And it appears there are a number of things the average SGer needs to do to truly be a part of Steamgifts:

  • Give away a gift to someone who doesn't understand English, never responds to any emails or messages, doesn't mark as received and may or may not have activated the gift.
  • Fail horribly at formatting a forum post (I'm banking on this one failing...)
  • Have a gift get regifted. :(
  • Solve a puzzle.
  • Join a giveaway group
  • Get involved on the forums
  • Give away Fortix
  • Give away bundled games and wonder why your CV isn't rising.
  • Create a puzzle giveaway
  • Thank someone for Skyrim
  • Win Skyrim (right?)
  • Have your estimated wins be higher than actual (haha, guess I'm lucky?)

So, it looks like I'm getting there, hey?

What else do you think are quintessential SteamGift experiences?

I want to win a fake giveaway, but I don't enter the ones that look fake. Not sure what the solution to that little impasse might be... :)

Jeez, bro, there's a SteamGifts group in Steam, in that group you can enter the chat.

Also, directly from the FAQ: "Base Rules: Try to be active in the forum/chat."

So yeah, head over there.

You sure it wasn't for something else? Begging, trading, spamming, posting item links, referral codes etc etc will all get you banned from chat, but I've never seen someone banned for lurking. Not from S.gifts official chat anyway.

lol I just tried to join the chat and it says I was banned. I think I only joined the chat once or twice my near 2 years of using this site. I have no idea what I could have been banned for. Chat bans should automatically open up a support ticket on the site that lists the reason(s) you were banned.

Wonder why you can't get any kind of notification for answers on the forums.

And, quite related, wonder why you have to seek the last page to read the latest post in a thread.

It's like that in all forums. Get SG+. You can choose to have the newest comment first.

Revelations 2012 was released too late. All these games were already popular on SG before it released.

"Give away bundled games and wonder why your CV isn't rising." I did do this, but I didn't make a thread about it. I had $47 CV, and it had suddenly stopped. Of course, since it was $47 instead of $30, I was REALLY confused. But I asked someone before making a thread. So I'm ok. xD Anyways..

You have to win Fortix too, not just give it away ;)

Steamgift bingo! I'm sure could fill up 24 spots.

Someone complains about it being rigged site, after 30 entries.
Win a game with over 10k entries.
Win a game with more copies of the game then actual entries.
Lose a game with 10% odds or better of winning.

Get the "Database connection failed" error message.

Find an awesome giveaway that you don't have enough points for but are close, bookmark it and keep checking it religiously as you both gain points and it's closer and closer to ending, then get distracted and end up missing the giveaway by a couple of seconds. Damn you Alan Wake.
