The users are getting nicer.

This topic made me consider something, in the past I've only thanked people for the gifts I have received threw steam chat, If the key was emailed to me, I just redeemed it and marked it as received. I'm still not 100% on the Etiquette in that situation, but it the future i think I'll make a point of emailing a reply saying thanks.

Same here, I never quite understood how to proceed in that case to thanks the user.
The first time, I replied to the email, but obviously, it didn't get through as I replied to a "noreply" Steam email.
Afterwards, I thanked with the user's email, but never knew whether it got through or not...

As someone who e-mails most of my GA games to the winner, please do reply to the e-mail and say thanks. It's much appreciated.

Even by mail, I always take a minute to reply and say thank you; it's not much, but it's the least you can do.

maybe there will be another open beta soon™: clicky

for those who can't access the site here's what cg wrote when asked about the next open beta:
...things were delayed. I have a little time this week for the site, and then I have 1.5 months set aside to work on it starting early September.

Well, I guess that clears my question about whether I had toyed with the site during open beta or I was part of the closed beta. It must've been during the open beta, because that asks me to register.

Unfortunately, Leader of this group is lazy to actually kill them or at least found Ministry of Punishment. It makes me a sad panda. :(

While I understand that English isn't everyone's first language, I'm sure most people know enough to at the very least say thanks. This was just plain rude.

Aye, they could've said thank you in any language and it would've gotten the point across. Hell, even using an emoticon would've been better than nothing.

I always act like super happy (because I really am) when I win something here o.o and I always end talking with the person who gave me (or even the person I'm givin the game) for like, half hour (if we add each other on Steam).
"ok" ppl should get nothing but a reroll u.u

I think its a good idea to always put a minimum CV requirement. Everyone on this site should be able to muster up enough to give away a single bundled game. If they're willing to take the free games, then they should be willing to give at least the absolute minimum.
