I would change one rule:

People should be able to put as many point into one entry as they want, in this way people would get the game they really want and they would have to save points waiting for that game.

How would this work? Simple, if I get lets say 300 points and I desperately want Universe Sandbox (I really do) I would put all my points into that entry maximizing my chances to get the game, that would be fairer that someone entering into a random giveaway just because they have the necessary points and then getting a game they don't really want and maybe they didn't even heard about it until they saw its entry in this site.

So, what do you think?

Sorry for my English I learnt it by my own.

I think that that's a great idea, I would love to bank all of my points into Amnesia.

I THINK that would be a pretty good idea, but at the same time something is screaming way in the back of my mind "total disaster" but I'm not sure why...

Have to think about it some more - undecided at this point

so your suggesting that each point be an entry? well i dont like that idea much. I like the current system because its left to chance. Yes its disappointing that some winners will barely play a game they win, but aslong no rules are broken i see nothing wrong with it.

How would i improve SG? Well i dnt really knw how. i guess find a way to give people the ability to customize the profile page.

i guess he means if you enter the giveaway with your max 300 points you have way higher chances to win the game, then someone who enters with only the regular amount of points that you need to enter for that giveaway. i kinda like the idea.

I prefer when things are left to effort :)

Saving 300 points to get the game you want... then getting it... good feeling no?

I think he means you're able to get more than one entry based on the listed amount. For example, if a giveaway is 10P, you could spend 100P for 10x the chance of winning.

Just like you can buy more than one lottery ticket if you want to. Makes perfect sense to me.

ok, I think i get the idea he was trying to give. So the individuals would chances would increase when they pay twice or more of the amount of an entry fee.

Nope. This has been suggested repeatedly. Answer is no. This won't be a first-come-first-serve place and it won't weigh the odds in anyone's favour at all.

lol I think I am positive for this idea, it is hard to have lots of points anyway.

Also a detterent for the people who'd like to do this would be that each subsequent entry would cost double the points. Just an idea.

The only thing that would be improved in SG is the forum. The giveaway system is good as it is.

I think everything is perfect. But i have always think of multiple games in a single giveaway. What you think about that? One giveaway. 2 Different games. 1-2 winners. :3

How to improve SG? well, we seriously need more Mods, or "officer" who could be in charge of deleting certain giveaways (separated keys from indie bundles, and all that stuff against the rules).

Like lottery, sports, life... :) those "advantages" would depend on the people themselves, if you want a game you save point to get it. Yes this would give advantages to some people, fair advantages.

I personally think it's a great idea. It allows people would actually play the game to have a better chance of winning it.

Automatic Entries to games that you mark as wanted (if you have the points).

This is an idea I would have suggested too. The wishlist already exists, it could be implemented.
It could also enter giveaways noting which ones of the wishlist items are higher than other.

You know you can do this already, right? Search for the game that you want, enter all of your points into every raffle you can afford for that game. Viola, now you have what you want (every one of your points counting towards that one game) with the added bonus of being able to win multiple copies.

This is not hard, people.

It's not the same, not even close. The idea is to be able to put all your points into a single ENTRY, putting all your points in different entries even when they give the same game is another thing.

Read carefully, is not hard people. :) The first post isn't that clear, I accept that, but if you read the comments over the thread then you will get the general idea.

I would prefer the account sync not being so buggy at the min. I had times when the sync refused to start cause I was marked as private when I was public. That's one good suggestion from me.

I would make it so people could add a cap on how many people can enter a giveaway. Want to make a giveaway where only the first 5 people can enter? Go for it!

I would like if they would come with some kind of script that doesn't allow people to enter giveaways of games that they already won. I entered yesterday a giveaway and i was pretty frustrated when i saw that the guy/gal who won, already won the same game like a month ago.

It already does that if you own the game the entry button is replaced with a button that say this game already exists in your account.

I know it does that if you own the game, but i'm talking about someone who won dota 2 a month ago but he didn't activated it on steam. So he entered yesterday another dota 2 giveway and he/she won that too. And i don't think that's fair. I know nothing is fair in life, but...c'mon, if you receive free games, don't be an ass.

They broke the rules. The winner has one week to add the game to their library. Failure to do so can get them banned.
