Description

Stop and read if you want a better chance to win games!

This giveaway is for a cheap bundled game with so-so reviews. There are much better giveaways that the Level 0 users among you are missing out on. Do you want to be able to enter those giveaways, and get a better chance to win games? Here are some tips:

  • Level up. You can actually do it without spending money. More here.
  • Participate in the forum. A couple of great reasons to do it:
    • Many of the discussions are not only interesting, but also include additional giveaways. Some in the form of posts with random links to giveaways that are not listed in the Giveaways page (these are called "invite-only giveaways", but anyone who sees the link can enter). Some other giveaways in the form of "trains" (multiple linked giveaways), and finally there are some giveaways which are only accessible if you complete a puzzle. Many of the forum giveaways are for games with great reviews, and the number of entries is typically much lower than public giveaways (those listed on the Giveaways page), providing far better odds. See this thread for more (especially if you haven't won your first game yet).
    • If you're opinionated and well versed, some people may add you to their whitelists because of what you write, regardless of the number of giveaways you created (if at all). Whitelist-based giveaways are frequently for unbundled games and have a relatively low number of entries. I have many great people in my whitelist, but those who ended there by writing exceptionally interesting, insightful or helpful posts on the forum can feel especially proud. I know that's how I felt in the few cases people added me for this reason and not for my sent/won ratio.
  • Join giveaway groups. See this sub forum for groups that recruit new users. In general you may want to contribute some giveaways before applying, as most groups have some requirements for entry.
  • Read giveaway descriptions before entering. It's not only the polite thing to do, but as an added bonus you may discover some additional giveaways linked in the text. Reading giveaway descriptions is something that you seem to be capable of, if you've reached this far.

One last thing: Don't feel obligated to say "thank you", but if you do, please don't post it to all of my giveaways. This would result in too many notifications which are difficult for me to go through. Posting in one giveaway is perfectly fine.

Good luck and have fun!

Nice post for newcomers, Yirg :-)

Feel free to use this boilerplate if you ever decide to dip again in public GA water :-)

Good idea! Though after the last big train event, I am even less inclined to return to public GA's :-(

I didn't want a ninja to see this and try and use it to get free keys and not get Blacklisted.

So with this requiring a SG Tools filter, you would be able to know who took what keys? I'm just thinking that a person who wanted to be a ninja and not get Blacklisted could take a whole bunch of keys, and then say that they took one of them. Or they could even try saying that they tried one game and it was already taken (risky move on their part, but they may get lucky and actually be correct that it was taken before you had a chance to edit the entries).

I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, and I am appreciative that you (and the others who've contributed) were willing to donate so many wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful, lol) games.:)

I think the chances of someone only mentioning one game are not high. They don't have much to gain from it, as I didn't specify a quota for the number of games people can take. If it's still an issue with the new rules, I'll have to figure it out. Thanks for pointing out this possibility. Also, returned the favor :-)

No problem. People that don't show basic manners (by saying thank you for getting a free game) annoy me. While I will never use the Blacklist here, I will still send them a mental finger-wagging!;)

Thank you! I appreciate you doing that.:)
