After a difficult ride through applications we have reached 60 members and have a list of 20 candidates for the last 5 spots till we reach 65 members. So if you haven't been invited yet just think you might be voted by our members.

They have all been invited, so we have now reached the goal of 65 members for this event. This time around we got 21/65 being newcomers. I wish them become regulars ;)

Sorry, Geo... A bunch of us were hoping you'd apply, but spots disappear like homemade cookies. Gotta be quick off the mark. P

Looks like we might reach 1000 game titles reserved in the first 24 hours. I don't know if we're going to break the "quantity" record, but it seems people are stepping up their game with the "quality" of the giveaways. Lots of titles I've never heard of but need to add to my wishlist.

Madness doesn't seem to be counting properly. Titles reserved are something separate from giveaways created.
996 titles listed on the spreadsheet as reserved
plus 6 titles reserved since the spreadsheet was updated
equals 1002 titles (unconfirmed) reserved in (almost exactly) 19 hours.

We have reached 1246 unique giveaways having the fastest growth so far with 800 of them in just an hour and 1150 in the first 24h.

We have reached 1615 unique giveaways and still 10 days to go. Not bad!

no prob at all ;) I may not know you but based on your profile you look like a very decent fellow and you'd prolly get to the event in either main or voting stage, but like eeev pointed - rules are rules. Especially in the event like this - having well over a thousand of GAs etc takes a lot of work on grup management part thus we really have to stick to rules a lot to make all the work as easy on staff as possible. So just a hint for you - next event will be associated with Winter Sale, and unlike Summer Sale it's date is pretty much fixed, so you may be pretty sure new recruitment will happen in November, prolly ~early-mid Nov, so just remember it and look at group recruitment around this time and you will have a good chance of earning a spot ;)

If I'm counting right, we have 1761 different games being given away. That's a new record, and as Zelgh already pointed out, it's with 65 members. That's an average of 27+ titles per member.

Our new record is now set to 1743 unique giveaways and over 1840 gifts sent. We didn't even need to have a consolation round since everyone had decent wins. This was probably our best event so far!
The list of games that were given away covers most of the top wishlisted games.
For anyone interested, we'll be back on Steam Winter Sales but will be recruiting in a new topic in late November.

Update 26th July
Our new record is now set to 1743 unique giveaways and over 1840 gifts sent. We didn't even need to have a consolation round since everyone had decent wins. This was probably our best event so far!
Update 28th November
Teasing for those interested in future events, we already have over 1200 unique giveaway reservations. Most of them (about 800) were reserved in the first hour of reservations.
Created 18th November
Hello again community!
Some of you may already know what this thread is for, so if you do please skip the introduction part, but read the rest:
Group Introduction
First of all you should know that this is not a new group, it was first created during Chrismas 2012 and since then we've had seven successful events:
The group's stats page can give you a glimpse of that success.
So it is obvious by the repetition pattern, that we operate close and during big Steam Sales. The goal of this group is to gather a certain amount of members that will create unique quality giveaways and share them with the rest. The tricky part is that ALL of those giveaways will end at exactly the same time, regardless of the time zone.
For that to work there are some rules to follow:
It's simpler than it looks, the hardest part is for me and the mods to organize and make sure people follow the rules.
For those that need more details, you should check on the group's profile here.
Also take a look at our FAQ.
How to enter the group
What you should also know
What's the group's timeline
(read this if you get to be a member of this group)
This time around I created Steam group calendar events but the general idea is as follows:
Few last words
Our last event had 70 members and 1711 unique giveaways (average of 24 giveaways per member, which means also an average of 24 wins per member). Everyone who entered at least one giveaway won something, but still the unluckiest eight got 1 extra game from their wishlist as "consolation" on behalf of many of our members who donated the amount needed. Almost everything went smoothly and I will do my best for things to go even better.
tl;dr
This group is not for you
