/PiO/ giveaway group - recruitment open again.

"Point It Out" is a giveaway, social and gaming group, meant to be 100% fair to its members.
Current member limit is 40 and 100 CV (contribution value - refer to your SG profile) is required.

The group is here for more than half a year. Over 500 giveaways done.

Main features:

• both non-bundle and bundle games, and also DLCs are allowed to be given away.
• if you don't want to create giveaways at the time, you're not required to make any (as long as you don't enter giveaways made by other members)
• we let YOU decide how much you value your gifts (read below)
• events

Point system explained:
Creating giveaways will earn you "Win Points" and winning makes you lose them.
You decide how much points you want, just write the desired amount into giveaway description or/and into the group's discussion section. The winner will lose the amount you wrote.

This way, we want to give more freedom to our members when creating (or winning) giveaways while making sure, that even games in low(er) demand can get entries. We felt like bundle games are not appreciated enough here on SG, even though some games were bundled only once and long time ago, they still don't earn CV and thus giveaways for those games are rather rare.

• points are spread after the giveaway ends
• changing the desired amount of points some time after creating a giveaway (and thus abusing the system) is not allowed and will get you kicked
• the maximum amount of points you can ask for is the game's Entry Point value. Example here = 19 points

Example:
Let's say I'm giving away Bioshock: Infinite. Since it was on sale multiple times, nobody will want to spend 50 points to enter. So instead of 50 points, I may ask for 20 points (or whatever amount I want) and the chances of getting more entries are way higher then. So once someone wins, I'm getting 20 points and he loses the same amount.

Refer to Google Spreadsheet to view your current amount of points and other info.

General rules:

1. We require an entry non-bundle giveaway
2. Avoid having negative amount of Win Points.
   2.1. For new members, -25 is the maximum amount of negative points. If you surpass -25, you'll be kicked without warning. After 1 month, the borderline increases to -50.
3. All giveaways have to be posted on group's "Discussions" page, otherwise they won't count towards your points ratio.
4. Giveaways need to have at least 1 entry by the time they end, otherwise they won't count towards your points ratio. Applies to entry giveaways, too.
5. DLC and bundle GAs are allowed.
6. Multiple copies of the same game are OK, as long as number of entries equals number of copies

Entry giveaway:

• we require a single, non-bundle giveaway within 48 hours after entering the group
• the giveaway shall last at least 24 hours
• the entry GA counts towards your WP amount
• the entry GA needs to get at least 1 entry, otherwise it won't count and you'd have to make another one
