SG Pillars - Steamgifts contributor group

SGPillars is a group made for the most generous members of the Steamgifts community, and through their contributions keeping it active and running smoothly; This includes those who donate their time (moderators / support), money (Patreon), or who give far more then they receive.

To join and remain a member:

  1. Either be;
    A. Steamgifts Moderator (any type)
    B. Steamgifts Patron (on Patreon) with 1:1 real CV ratio or better.
    C. Have a 2:1 real CV ratio or better, and level 5+ with 50+ different games given away.
  2. Be an active Steamgifts contributor; Your latest giveaway must be less then a year old.
  3. Group giveaways aren't required, but to avoid abuse members group value difference may not go below -$200.
  4. Respect the gifters; Thank gifters if you win, and play wins if the gifter asks you to play/enjoy them in giveaway description.

Those who fail to adhere to these rules may be kicked without warning at any time!

If you wish to join please post in this thread. After checking that you meet the group requirements you will be sent a friend invite, and shortly after you accept it the group invite will be sent. The friend invite is needed because Steam no longer allows group invites from users unless they are on your friends list.

Note that Steam does not always show a notification when you receive an invite!

The rules are just listed above in the main post. You can just check and see if you meet the requirements instead of blindly asking to join every group you find.

Hello jiggakills, can you invite me again to the group please?
I removed most of my Steam friends (including you) and left all groups (nothing personal against anyone at all, I just tend to do such idiot things sometimes), but I really would like to come back and stay in this group.

Hmmm, well you haven't given away anything in over a year and will drop below the 2:1 ratio if you win even one more game...please do some giveaways first so I can see you're still willing to actively contribute to SG.

Just added a new rule at the request of active group members; Members must be active on Steamgifts (latest giveaway should be less then a year old). I think one giveaway a year is quite fair, but if anyone has thoughts / concerns about this change would be happy to hear any feedback.

Unfortunately you don't currently meet the 2:1 real CV requirement needed to join. You've sent $564.01 and won $1644.66.
You can check your real CV ratio at any time by placing your mouse cursor over top the "Gifts sent" or "Gifts won" value in your Steamgifts profile (a popup window showing the real CV amount will appear).

I just wanted to create giveaways for the group and noticed that i got kicked?
Cuz i cant imagine i would leave by myself... maybe by mistake but pretty doubtful.

Tbh i dont get it cuz i made quite a lot of giveaways for the group (not sure anymore but i guess my group ratio was easily 500$+) and i was active all the time since i joined on SG and in this group.

Yea looks like you were kicked about a week ago for dropping too far below the 2:1 real CV ratio minimum (you've currently sent: $2510.44, and won: $1553.74). Sorry had to kick you, but gotta make sure the rules are followed to keep things fair for everyone. If you get back to a 2:1 real CV ratio would be glad to invite you back in the group.

Okay i see. Well i dont think that i will get back there as i joined some groups with very low entries (majority wont get 5 entries) and i dont get real CV for those games but apparently the real CV counts for my wins so its getting worse constantly.
So yeah i dont think i will manage to get back to 2:1 unless i will leave them. It just felt a bit rude getting kicked without a word after doing a lot of ga's for the group, but yeah i understand rules are rules.

I guess same reason as mourinhos. Your RCV is at 1,81

Where I can found this number ?

On my member page, I only see the number of each values categories giveaways I received and give away. :/

Received : Full : 304
Reduced : 1239
No Value : 259

Sent : Full : 336
Reduced : 5098
No Value : 505

I have the habit to made a grouped giveaway at least once a month for this group among some others.

I am sorry If I made less giveaway to the site
but I spend a lot of my time now to maintain the list of overpriced games to help the users : https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/mgNMJ/summary-table-of-overpriced-and-shovelware-games-that-are-not-0-cv-new-version-april-may-2024

Go to your profile and hover your mouse over the dollar amount. $9.4k to $5.2k. That means you'd need to give away $1k worth of CV to get to 2:1.

As Aradiel said for manual check. If you use ESGT, you can set various ratios as permanent statistic on user profiles

I did a check recently of all SG Pillars members to see who was no longer eligible to be in the group, and unfortunately you'd fallen quite far behind the 2:1 real cv minimum. Of course, you can re-join if your ratio reaches the minimum again. Also, like others have said, you can determine your ratio at any time by going to your Steamgifts profile and placing the cursor over the won/sent values to get a popup showing the real CV values (atm you've sent $9395.99 and won $5194.28, or a ratio of about 1.81:1 ).

You fell under the 2:1 CV rule? CV is constantly being taken away, so need to keep an eye on it.

Edit: Already answered.

Why is CV constantly taken away?

5 months ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Games go from full price, to 15% or 0% when they go on sale or are given away etc. Although in your case you said you were also winning a lot, so that obviously affects your ratio too.

I dont think that its true. I think if you give away a game which has full value you wont lose it unless it was bundled earlier and just not updated yet

This is only one example, but the 15% date was put in first, then later every GA, regardless of when, was made 0%. https://www.steamgifts.com/game/t9gwp/furry-love-2

Plenty of other examples. I just happened to notice this one since I won it recently. CV can be taken away at any time. The only time it won't be, is if it's reduced to zero after you give it away.

Hmm somehow i dont get it. For me it looks like it was 0 CV 2021 and then reduced CV in 2022?
I have no idea how to read it tbh ^^

Comment has been collapsed.

First someone reduced some of the GAs to 15%. They set this date to 2022. Then someone else came along after that and decided to reduce every GA to zero.

i guess just every giveaway after 2021 and not also from years before. At least thats what i thought usually happens.
For me one of the rpg maker software i gave away were reduced value and after few month they decided to make it retroactively 0 CV cuz of "abuse" i guess so i lost a bit but otherwise i dont see me losing CV over years for my "normal" games.

I might be totally wrong of course ^^

I think you get CV retro-actively taken away if the base price of a game is reduced.

Comment has been collapsed.

oh okay good to know... but do they also increase it if the game gets more expensive? For example like 7 days to Die rn?

5 months ago

Comment has been collapsed.

AFAIK, CV is coupled to the current base price. If the base price of a game increases, there should be a CV increase in this case. I haven't verified it, so not 100% sure.

Quote: "7 Days to Die will be leaving Early Access in June, and the price of the game will increase to $44.99."

So in June, there's a chance to confirm or deny the above.
