We're working on new rules right now, sit tight if you're waiting to join - we'll open a new thread shortly :)


This thread was opened to introduce the group Backlog Assassins Extraordinaire, or BLAEO for short. This is what we do:

  • Play our backlog-games [mostly focusing on SG wins first]
  • Post about our progress in dedicated threads and here on SG on our brand-new website O.O (thanks to mandrill!)
  • Possibly sometimes share giveaways (this is not a GA group, there are no ratio requirements or any expectations of GAs)
  • Play games based on monthly themes

What you need to have if you'd like to join us:

  • An SG account
  • A Steam account with unfinished games (i.e., a Steam backlog)
  • A willingness to work on your backlog

Requirement to stay in the group:
Please set up your backlog plan in your profile on our website and sort your games there, or post your progress thread in our Steam forums sometime within 3 weeks of joining - otherwise we may think you're not serious about your backlog and may ask you to leave the group ^^
Reply to this post if you'd like to join. Feel free to ask questions about the group here as well - I can't promise any answers, but I'll do my best.

We recently started excluding inactive members (no posts or organizing their profiles on the website since joining 4 weeks ago or earlier). If you feel we've made mistake excluding you, please post here with your reason(s) or contact us in the group's chat.

Hi! I've been thinking about joining the group since the first announcement, and I believe I'm ready now =)
I have a lot of games I'm planning to play, so joining the group might be an additional encouraging factor to do this =D

Alright, I think I'll give the group a try. Maybe it will better motivate me to play games (though I have plenty of motivation already xD)!

There is no such thing as too much motivation (I hope?), so welcome to the group! :D

The website says "Looks like you are not a group member ... right now this site is members only. ", any idea why?

it's possible that it takes a few moments to sync ... I'll check with mandrill

edit: official answer: synching new group members can take up to 15 minutes, just sit tight :)

This looks like a good idea, the website and profile page looks easy to use and helpful for me to keep track of my progress. I already made a decision to tackle my backlog since February this year, and while it's been a slow process, I've still completed a decent amount of games this year. I'd happily join the group and the website.

so.. do I have to create a thread on the website or in the group forums to stay in the group or is the list on the website enough? :o

We're currently reworking our rules - for now organizing your games on the website will do, but if you plan on entering group GAs, it's required that you post updates every now and then on the website, or at least comment on other members' posts. (the Steam forums aren't really used anymore, you can ignore them)
