I wanted to test the new feature of sgtools, choosing further requirements to join a GA.
My first attempt failed as packages are not supported yet. So here is a level 3 for everyone.

To join the Sanctuary GA, you have to be level 3 ($50 real CV) and your sent/won ratio has to be equal or greater than 1. The number of entries is limited to 100. clicky.
You might have to clear your cookies for sgtools to use the feature.

Both GAs run for a little over a week.

To use the feature, insert your invite only GA here. Packages, like GOTYs, do not work yet. Read the devs thread.

Kind contributions:

Egyptian Senet
Lumber
Zero Punctuation: Hatfall - Hatters Gonna Hat Edition
One Way Heroics
Saints Row IV
One Way Heroics
Nightfall: Escape
Red Faction®: Armageddon™
Egyptian Senet & Odysseus: Long Way Home

If you are getting "500 Internal Server Error" there might be too much demand on the database at the moment. See knsys comment.
If you are blacklisted and think you do not deserve it, feel free to contact me on Steam.

Ah, an interesting idea indeed!
I gave it a quick test just to see how it worked, though I already had the game in my library.
Though after reading knsys's thread, I fear I may have wasted a potential entry for the giveaway. :(

  • Maximum number of entries (number of times the tool will give the url)

So all entries should love you as their chances get higher.

Did not think of it that way. :) That makes me feel a lot better.
In fact, that could be an interesting side effect on this feature!

Hmm... Got in at entry #4

I remember reading about it when it was still in the "theory stage". Be interesting to see how the feature works out; and whether actually will detect any more advanced features that were discussed - beyond simple win/loss ratio - if added.
Though, probably be a while before I use it personally. Lol.... >.^

wops I think I've just burned an entry, looks nice, but... why is your nickname censored :\ ?

It is so bad that it is censored everywhere - for life!

It is not censored, there are just asterixes in there. It is a private joke from a LAN in my youth.

Hmmm... packages should be supported, I'll check with KnSYS next time I see him. He set it up to query the Steam page for things that aren't in his database, so I don't know why a package would malfunction.

Huh? I dont get it...
Isn't this like adding a custom requirement to your GA (like "If you say thank you I will ask for a re-roll") ?
Or does this have SG/CG's seal of approval?

Mhh. Did not thought about that in that way.

For me it is like setting up a requirement for a private GA or group and check manually if a user meets that requirement.
E.g. like this.

It's fine, but I don't think it could be ground for a reroll if an user manages to get the link via the tool despite not meeting the requirements (some are easy to circumvent).

Not even a leaked link?
For example: If I proof that I had a limit of 100 link to be given out and my GA has 200 entries.

Depends if there's evidence that suggest the winner didn't get the link via the tool or not.
Like I said, some requirements should be safe, but some are easy to alter.

Sure. Will try to set my requirements in a way, I do not have to bother support :)

Well, the guidelines say "Respect the privacy of invite only giveaways, and if you're invited to a private giveaway, do not share the link with other users unless given permission by the giveaway creator.". Whether that means an invite-only giveaway winner can be rerolled if they're not legit (i.e. they obtained the giveaway link through a leak instead of from the creator), I'm not sure. I suppose the guidelines need to be clarified.

Egyptian Senet

The setup worked seemlessly :)

The one thing I would note is that on the Manage web page the time displayed for the GA to finish must be your servers local time? It's 5 hours behind the SG time (which in turn is 1 hour ahead of me at GMT). It might be worth using SG time?

You know you can't enter your own GA? joke By checking it you took someone chance to grab this game :D

And I'm not interesting in game, so I won't take link from someone who want it ;)

It's real value. Not just pure number of GAs. You send games for 58,2 and won for 44,6. So you're good to go :D

Your real CV is greater than 1. Real CV takes bundled status into account.
