How does it work?

"How do I join?"

Here is last month's event and our end-of-month stats


FAQ

Q: Do I have to play 3 games every month?
A: NO! The more the merrier, but just finishing one is enough to complete the "challenge"!

Q: Do I have to participate every month?
A: No. You can take a break whenever you want, you just need to report to us before the next picking phase starts. There is a thread called "Skip a month", use it whenever you need!

Q: Why is BLAEO mandatory?
A: It makes picking a LOT easier. As you can see here

Q: Why do I need to have played at least 15% of my wins or a total of 40 games?
A: We must see that you're serious into playing your games, not just joining because of GAs.

Our group was inspired by both the old PoP events at Quips/Beardtopia + the September is "play a game you won on Steamgifts" event

Well not mod or admin of this group just member but it means 40 games completed. Don't think I even had 15% of my wins done at the time but my blaeo numbers keep changing I'm losing track

If you are interested in joining its suggested to join blaeo if you haven't already, plus I'm bringing it up since that can help inform you of how many games you have actually done

40 sg wins beaten. If you're new and have 0 wins, I suggest taking a look at a group called unlucky 7, since it was created to help people reach their first 7 wins.
We requires 15% games played (or 40 total wins played, if you have won 1000s of games) just to be sure that people are joining the group because they wanna play some games, not just win free stuff.

Oh I even took it wrong. I read it the other way of , well I was waiting for you to correct everything anyway but this just blows my mind. Now I'm even more surprised I got in!

It says here that you reached ≥25% completion rate in: 27.8% (10/36) games.
15% is quite easy, unless one just idles all their wins.

We're discussing some changes right now, so I'm gonna close this thread for a couple weeks. I'm gonna re-open when we've decided about the future of our group, probably in a week or two. Just re-apply when that happens. Thanks and sorry for the incovenience.

It's probably only open to members, so if you joined you would be able to see it yourself

Just wanted to spy how often or for how long is an average skip. ;)

It's almost always the same amount. We had 6 people skipping in december, 5 in january, 5 in feb, 6 in march and 8 in april. Usually the same people as well. A handful of people prefer to take a month off in-between events.

Thank you for those stats. :)
The group seems very interesting and fun, but I wouldn't want to skip all the time. Would feel bad about it. ;)

Some people skip a lot and some never do. As long as everybody is having fun when they do participate, it's fine.

You saw all my spying and wanted to follow. I don't blame you. Old discussions have great dramas you might've missed or in this case you find out who is a little busy during the month

Hello ! I was encouraged to join by a member on BLAEO and after reading, I'm indeed interested and have the profile. I just have a few questions to be certain that everything will be ok:

  • I'm someone who play to have fun, so having all achievements isn't mandatory (even more with game with low replayability), it's ok to have the game Beaten and not Completed ?
  • Can the person pick a game which is in my "won't play" list ? I try to give a chance to those game and they are there for reason, I would like to avoid pulling a meh face seeing that the 3 picks are from this category ^^" !

Here is my BLAEO

Hey!
1) Sure. You can see here from the stats that only a few people actually try to complete a game. completed games are marked in light blue
2) You can add custom rules here's the spreadsheet from april as an example.. If you want 1 game from your "won't play" category, you just need to say.

I'll send you a friend request on steam, so I can invite you and you can ask me more questions, if you want.
