Ill tell you how this works...

Your chance is determined on how much comments you leave...

I got more comments than entries, so the computer will chose me quicker than other persons.

You only got 45 comments, go try to reach up to you entrielist, you got much work to do!

Come on, with enough thankses you too can win something!

But but but proof,

I'm sure it would be interesting to plot wins vs comment, obviously no causality, but you would show a correlation I'm sure

Oh I'm just joking about the correlation, but I'm sure it would show an amusing correlation graph

I don't doubt that there would be a correlation, as higher amounts of communication and access to more exclusive giveaways are probably correlated.

It's all about luck, how many times you have commented has nothing to do with it. I have first hand experience on that fact: I have made 10 times more comments than one of my friends, but that friend has won 5 times more games than I have.

Life is so unfair sometimes.... :(

And that friend just won another game this morning...

I know, and I'm really trying to correct the state of this issue. I've been trying to be more active in the SG forums and work towards a better comment-to-entry ratio. When I first joined SG I thought comments didn't matter anything, so I never commented anything. I've just now realized how much some people value a good ratio, so I'm really trying to earn myself that, it just takes a lot of time :)

Its not really that comments are something that really is a way of seeing whos better... But its just normal to thank everytime someone puts up something for free...

It is just nice to say thank you

I know it's nice to say thank you, but spamming TY or THX or something like that doesn't really seem like an expression of gratitude to me. It just seems like many people see thanking as a (somewhat) mandatory task, and don't put any effort in it, or just the minimal effort.

What I'm trying to say is I don't want to blurt out uninspiring comments just to get the ratio better, I comment to express my gratitude (trying to put some effort in it), tell my own opinions, bring something new to the conversation, you get the idea.

So sure about that? we have about the same amount of entries but your ratio is 1:2 while I am almost 3:1 and I have won 23 more times (technically 24 more but I'm still waiting till Borderlands 2 comes out so Cg can give me the key) so yup.

Well you are part of some groups that allow members to join by invite only. Since those groups have a limited (and usually small) amount of members, chances of winning a group giveaway are pretty good. Basically you have more wins because you're part of some exclusive groups. Whether your ratio has helped you get an invite to join them or not, I have no idea.

When you are actively invested in a community, people tend to warm up to you a lot more than if you are not.

Okay, you got me there. I don't think I can counter those arguments, so maybe we should end this debate here. I admit that you've bested me, since you're both right. Our conversation has truly inspired me to become a more active member here in SG. Maybe I'll get an invite to some exclusive group one day if I keep being active.

Thanks a lot to both of you for inspiring me to be more active here in SG :D

There's no need to, I don't think it's such a big deal. I'm just one small part of the SG community (who's trying hard to be more active :P).

Luck hates you, but it LOVES this guy...

Near catatonia and too many Shadowgrounds giveaways means many months of bad karma.

Yes and no...Yes because chances are very very small(puzzle giveaways are better,you have much more chances there)...and no because what I said earlier(puzzle giveaways and private ones)

Didn't I already see this topic today? And luck doesn't like you guys because you're community leeches. Take part in the community more, post messages and thank people for doing the giveaways you enter. Reddit isn't the only site with Karma ;-)
