Dave, lol.
You don't need to continually monitor this thread.
I appreciate you have passion for the topic and Ciriooo, but you also have your own community to take care of! You really don’t need to waste your time making multiple posts here. Misinformation is also not the way to go.
You really don’t have a duty to inform everyone.
I will update people when I have more information on Ciriooo!

Hey BigDave,
I did win Chariot and i received it from him.
I'm going to assume Chickenarla knows what's with him and if life really got into his way i sure hope that's going to get resolved soon. None of these games should be more important than anyone's real life.
Let's just hope for the best of him, seemed like he wanted to make his group grow, i'm sure eventually he will pick up from wherever he left it.
Until that take care! ;)

Hi all,
Just a brief update:
Reached out to Ciriooo earlier on today RE well-being and also status on handover / issuing out winnings to those who won giveaways.
There’s been no word as of yet, but that’s to be expected due to our differing timezones.
Will keep you all posted and will update my post when I have more information.
Until then take care!
Chickenarla

Replying to own post but:
If any of the winners want answers more quickly for whatever reason and wish to reach out to Ciriooo directly, I’d suggest reaching out to him via steam.

I was given admin permissions 2 weeks ago, but that is temporary until he returns fully. I can assure you that the information I have so far is what I have. I’ve been asking on behalf of all the winners, but I can only do so much on my own.
It’s not the case of protecting him. I’ll level with you here. I genuinely believe he has familial issues. I also agree that he should have told his community personally shit went down before disappearing.
Just because I’m an admin does not mean that I’m ignoring the winners or anything like that. I had a choice not to care and not to message ciriooo on your behalves asking about when you will receive your giveaway winnings. But I did and I can prove that I tried and tried and tried contacting again and again.

Makes, all I am doing is telling you what he told me.
There was a death in the family. He needs time out and his way of coping is through gaming.
As someone myself who has lost a family member before, and as a human I can empathise with that and that he needs time.
That’s not protection. That’s empathy.

Man, I get being dubious of Cirioo but there's no need to be abusive with the one community admin who stepped up when they didn't have to. Chickanarla is not protecting anyone. They're just keeping us updated on their efforts to reach Cirioo, and getting mistreated in the process.
Comment has been collapsed.
Chickenarla group admin therefore he protects the interests of this group.
since a person sits and plays games, then everything is fine with him, the last games were like advertising for his group. it means he does not send these games on purpose.
I doubt that it will give out games to users as winnings. When I saw that I did not give out my winnings, I unsubscribed about all the GA
now I understand why he protects he is just an administrator and it is also important for him that people subscribe to the group. I will personally unsubscribe from this group

Thanks Big Dave.
As Big Dave said: Mark it as unreceived.
I’m not sure at this point if or when Ciriooo will next reach out to me so if in doubt, mark as unreceived.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maken, I can assure you the following:
This is why I am telling winners if they are not happy with waiting any longer, to mark as I received. If I was truly truly trying everything possible to protect the group and Ciriooo’s reputation, I would not be recommending this.
Ciriooo has been dealt a shit hand, I agree. And I’m trying to get him to reach out to the winners personally to talk to them.
But I can only do so much as one person.
And please whoever is sending me threats over giveaways and not receiving it, please stop.
Comment has been collapsed.
???
I did not say you were the individual sending threats???
It is however another member that isdoing this.
As for the other matter RE Ciriooo gaming, yes I am aware he is doing this. And I have messaged him asking to reach to winners directly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Chickenart, just protecting the interests of the group, don't pay attention to him.
Ciriooo, since he plays games calmly at the time of writing this comment, then he has no problems.
the last draws were advertising for the group.
if Chickenart writes something under this comment, he is simply trying to protect the interests of the group.
Comment has been collapsed.
Totally agree with you Dave. I don't know many people who, left in a situation like this, would keep trying to make things right with everyone. She could have just stayed off Steamgifts altogether but she didn't.
And again, being dubious of Cirioo is one thing but we're just on a giveaway site. Nobody had to pay to enter giveaways.
I have had a couple of gifters ghost me when they were unable to give me my wins and I get it's maddening, just because I'd rather they say "oops sorry, something happened and nothing I can do" than just ignore me, but that's no reason to threaten or abuse the one person trying to take steps to make things right.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think it's a practice at SG to ban people for not honoring their GAs, not even when there are a lot of them.
The most that can happen is losing giveaways slots and a bunch of blacklist but since it's a voluntary giveaway site, they can't go around banning people for... I guess "robbing" entrants of their virtual points with nothing in return?
IF it was a scam to get community members, I agree it's pretty low but even if that's the case, SG can't really start banning/punishing people for making free giveaways and not being able to follow through.
Comment has been collapsed.
I jump short in with the info that the support perma suspend users for FAKE giveaways.
So, if they have the impression that the gifter never wanted to gift the promised game.
That mostly happens with 50p games and in the GA's are then in nearly all cases advertising for sites like twitter, YT, steam groups and so on.
Don't get me wrong, i don't know if cggiveaways don't want(ed) to deliver a win or if some reallife reasons came between. So i don't know if they are fake giveaways.
To be honest i don't expect that all were a fake but that is my personal opinion and i fully understand if other people think different.
But it is clearly very weak fro him to not inform the winners for such a long time and Chickenarla is very nice (+ have, partly, not so nice feedback) but it isn't her job to speak for someone else. She can't solve it for him.
In the end she don't know more as the rest because she will never know if a other person tell her the truth.
And i fully understand that people get, after weeks, pissed off when they see that he play games but can't send a sentence about the wins.
I am sure people would understand the situation if he write something like "someone in my family died, i need time, will send the wins when i am mental able to focus on online stuff" (if that is the reason).
So in short:
(if they assume he never wanted to deliver them)

I guess he/she wanted to post this https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/ZA286fi and refer to the first Cyberpunk GA being send. Althought this was when OP was still active here.

Ok, but what should a sended GA say me ?

It doesn't change anything on the fact that the support can perma suspend him if they think he made fake Ga's.
And i bet to be quiet and play games isn't something they like to see in such a situation.

I have no clue what point anothabrotha wanted to make....
Comment has been collapsed.
nope, that´s what I did there..
is it really that hard guys ??
@Masafor - your post is insinuating there might be reason support could/should suspend Ciriooo´s account.. which given the stats on that account is outright absurd - besides all of that the whole thing is old news & as I already stated here we can rather be sure that support is already aware of the situation, therefore any action that had to be taken has already happened.
So all you did was being next in line to put out the fire with gasoline - I can´t believe that really was your intention.
Have a nice day & some music!

is it really that hard guys ??
YES
A link don't reveal your thoughts about the reason behind it, what you feel and so on.
So it is impossible to know what you mean without a explanation.
I am not sure that you read my text .... so i repeat it the third time...
To be honest i don't expect that all were a fake but that is my personal opinion and i fully understand if other people think different.
To think then that i want that the support suspend him is strange for me.
Fluffster don't known the fact that the support do such stuff when they expect that someone do fake giveaways (so never wanted to deliver the win). I answered him.
My post hadn't something to do with the support awarness or not because i don't care for that in this case and i don't read the complete thread because i have other things to do.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh really? I didn't know that but it makes total sense. Thanks for the info Masafor.
If the goal is promotional yeah I can see why they would suspend/ban people who just make GAs and never honor them. Makes sense.
I guess it's not necessarily easy to ascertain but when a lot of time has passed and the user is active elsewhere, I guess...

Could everybody here pls stop the troll spamming !?
practically everything has already been said and stated several times.
yes, Ciriooo vanished and didn´t complete the last giveaways - yes, their steam-acct. seems to be running Killing Floor 2 permanently. whether the game is being played or this is a sublime message of some sort nobody knows - if or when Ciriooo will be back is unclear & it remains to be seen whether or not these giveaways will ever be closed successfully ..
I´m fairly certain SG-moderation will have been alerted to all these troubles by now.. if any actions regarding SG rules & ToS have had to be taken, it already happened.
So why don´t everybody mind their own business - it seems should there be any developments Chickenarla will keep us all updated !
Thank You & f#ck Cyberpunk

Thanks for the message (and the laugh)!
I’ll make sure that my next message will contain an update and will try and not post on here until then.
Only reason I made prior posts were because I promised winners I’d come back with an update.
I did agree with Ciriooo on a 2 week deadline to reach out about this.
Only realistic thing we can do is wait until there’s a response. 🤷🏻♀️

Cyberpunk 2077 Steam key giveaway, really? That makes as much sense as having a GTA V Steam key.
Comment has been collapsed.
The only thing that comes to mind is that it might be a GOG key. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those few games where there are no Steam keys for that game in any store (just like GTA V, and I think the first Torchlight was like that for a while)
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe he may have made a mistake on that part (that's my take anyway).
Can happen when setting up various giveaways where you can muddle up which game provides key activation or not.
Not the best mistake to make but it happens.
Myself and a few other mods are aware that it can only be gifted and not distributed as a key.
I would think he's aware too on that, since I messaged him about that a while ago when enquiring about the winners giveaway items.
And this is my last message for now. I am hoping to get an update from Ciriooo so when that happens I’ll make an announcement.

FYI: the first one seemed to have worked out just fine...!

Is it possible to close this thread until the thread's creator comes back to SG? If another admin of the group wants to continue the recruitment a new thread might be a better way.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is, I just can't do it (only senior mods and up can close threads). Otherwise I'd done it ages ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the reply. Let's see if a senior mod comes around.

Excuse me ?! for what reason ?
group is up and running, GAs are being made & honored ..
so the founder is AWOL atm & basic functions have been taken over by other group officers for the time being!
what´s all this drama about a couple (for now) failed giveaways ????????????
Comment has been collapsed.
Most (all?) of the giveaways promoted in the thread have not been deliviered. From my point of view, the proper thing to do would be to close this thread and to re-open a new one until CGGiveaways comes back to SG.
This thread staying open will just reenforce the impression that CGGiveaways has left after several AAA giveaways have not being send. Closing the thread for now would prevent that, as well as discussions that might get unpleasant.
Comment has been collapsed.
and why is this your concern...?
are you a moderator on SG ?? are you even a member of the group this is all about ??
anyway thanks for the blacklist and have fun on your little power trip
Comment has been collapsed.
The "drama" is rooted in the fact, that there have been plenty of "generous users" in the past that created AAA giveaways to promoted a gorup and then sending only a very few or none of those giveaways. Earning a couple of thousand new members this way. Many regular SG users are just fed up to see that kind of behaviour.
Edit: I am not saying that this is what CGGiveaways is doing, but that is what it looks like to some users here.
