Things are going well, even though we've had two people leaving the event early for personal reasons. They were immediately replaced by the next in line of votes and those were ivanlonel and kerepekman. So far we have 551 giveaways/reservations of unique titles and we are getting close to our previous record of 611 giveaways. Most of the top wishlisted games are there (damn region locks to blame for not having them all like in previous events).
Steam winter sales are getting close and we still have 3 weeks for the event to end. I'm optimistic!
Viva la synchronization!

Enter for what? The current event is over. It ended a few days ago.

It's a seasonal thing. Everyone who joined this time will be forced to leave the group in a couple of weeks/months.

Then you don't really understand the idea of the group.
Everyone who is in there now will have to leave before the next event starts anyway. And then another thread like this will be created a few weeks before the next event. This group is all about events.

The main event has ended (Happy winners phase) we are now discussing on our consolation round for those with few wins. I can officially call this event a great success. Valve decided to make it hard for us with trading and region restrictions, but we once more managed to brake our previous record of 611 giveaways by having 648 unique simultaneous ending giveaways including most group wishlisted games.
We've had members that won up to 26 giveaways at once and we had no member without a single win (except those who willingly didn't enter anything). Many of our members expressed the will to console those with few wins and we are currently under discussion on our proceedings with that.
This was our 5th event since 2012 and each year I think they get even more successful while our members get even more pleased of them.

I can confirm, that this was again a great event, thanks to all who participated!

Update 27 January
Our Consolation round is over. This time we chose 5 of our members that were considered the most unlucky ones and bought them each a game from their wishlist. This makes our event officially over.
Update 7 January
Just a teaser for anyone that might be interested in future events, for this event we've set a new record of 648 unique simultaneous giveaways out of 69 members (average of 9+ giveaways per member, which means also an average of 9+ wins per member).
Update 24 November
Our members have concluded via voting that our last 5 members of the group shall be:
Also in less than 2 hours we already have 220+ giveaways reserved which seems promising in braking our previous record of total 611 giveaways
Hello again community!
Some of you may already know what this thread is for, so if you do please skip the introduction part, but read the rest:
Group Introduction
First of all you should know that this is not a new group, it was first created during Chrismas 2012 and since then we've had four successful events:
The goal of this group is to gather a certain amount of members that will create unique quality giveaways and share them with the rest. The tricky part is that ALL of those giveaways will end at exactly the same time, regardless of the time zone.
For that to work there are some rules to follow:
It's simpler than it looks, the hardest part is for me to organize and make sure people follow the rules.
For those that need more details, you should check on the group's profile here.
Also take a look at our FAQ.

Few last words
Our last event had 70 members and 611 unique giveaways created. We had three members to win nothing, and some to win few, but all of them were invited to a consolation round with 43 extra giveaways were they got many more wins. Everything went smoothly and I will do my best for things to go well again.
tl;dr
This group is not for you
