Hello everyone, it's been a while!

"What is PoP?"

PoP stands for Play or Pay. It was created a couple years ago as both a way to help people deal with their massive backlogs and a challenge for those that enjoy playing lots of games.

It's quite simple: you join the group and every 3 months (a.k.a. a cycle) you sign up - if you want - and some people will pick some games for you and you'll pick some games for them as well. The more games you beat, the more rewards you get. On the other hand, if you don't manage to finish any games, you create a giveway for the group. In other words, you play or you pay!

"How does it work exactly?"

A month before a cycle, a sign up post will appear and you'll have to decide if you wanna participate or not.
If you choose to do so, 2 random fellow members will pick 7 games for you (first member picks 4 games, second picks 3). You'll also have to pick 7 games for 2 different people as well!
You'll have until the end of the cycle to play at least 2 of them. If you fail to do so, you'll have to create a GA for the group.
The more games you play, the more points you get. At the end of the a 3-months cycle, the Top15 people with the most amount of points get invited to a handful of special GAs!

"How do I join?"

You must be level 1 or higher
You must have played at least 10% of your wins OR a minimum of 40 games - You can use Kelnage's Do you even play, bro script to check!
A BLAEO profile. You may request to join BLAEO here

Here is our website, in case you wanna check it out!

FAQ

Q: Do I have to play 7 games every cycle?
A: NO! The more the merrier, but just finishing two is enough to complete the "challenge"!

Q: Do I have to participate every cycle?
A: No. You can take a break whenever you want, just don't sign up before the next picking phase starts. However, you must participate in at least, 2 out of 4 cycles in a year.

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 10% of my wins OR a total of 40 games played?
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.

Just a word : when I first checked this group, my first thought was : I need to play 7 games?????!!! I'll never be able to have enough time.

But you really need to finish only 2. It's witten in the rules, but I somewhat bugged on the 7 games part.

plus the people here are really nice, and you may learn a thing or two about the games in your library .

Consider joining and having fun with us :)
