Group has now been closed

It was an interesting journey and I wish to thank all who made it possible: Contributors who generously gave gifts to the unlucky, community for its support & kind words and lastly support members who endured our way too many reroll tickets.

You have my gratitude.

For those that still remain unlucky: There exists few unlucky groups. One could try applying in them. I also recommend visiting forum often for puzzles and hidden giveaways.

Finally some statistics:

  • Founded 15th August 2012. Closed 13th May 2013.
  • Sent over 313 invites (for cherry position). Small number of them were rejected for various reasons.
  • Out of those unlucky cherries, 270 won a game either in group or outside it. Fastest wins inside group were within few hours after joining. Some people won during the application process itself (waiting to get invited).
  • Stats of cherries at the time of invite. Average number of wins: 0.27 (DLCs, betas, soundtracks, public giveaways with 100% chance to win and in the beginning also developer giveaways). Average number of entries: 1013. Average member time: 5.3 months (actually higher as many members were older than year but it only showed as 12 months).
  • Highest number of entries for cherry when invited: 3065 (had zero wins too).
  • Group had 110 poppers. Some never made a giveaway but that was not mandatory.
  • There were 276 giveaways (counting only group giveaways i.e. no private ones), some of them had more than one gift. 63 giveaways ended without any entries. Range was broad: from Fortix to Bioshock Infinite. Lowest chance of winning was 1/56 and highest was 1 (multiple cases).

Unlike the somewhat common misconception would suggest, games in the giveaway do not merely magically materialize (in virtual world) out of thin air (bits). Someone has to actually give them and (usually) poppers fill this part.

Are you saying that people here actually BUY the games to GIVE THEM AWAY?

You are nuts.

Welcome to the house of madness. Also, my previous comment was a cake. Certainly no sane person would do such a thing. We are all sorts of nuts.

Sounds like a nice group actually helping others rather than their own greed. All the best! :)
ps: I've already won a few games so won't be entering myself.

Seeing as I only won Faire Solitare due to the developers massive giveaway, winning is ensured.

Public giveaways with 100% winning chance do not required luck and thus are not counted as wins in the group. Finish the process for invite.

I'll keep checking on people in reserve pool from time to time and make a new reply when they are ready. It will show that way in replies history.

Aye, no chance of being a cherry with a win counter like that. Do not worry about creating giveaways. Group has no mandatory giveaways so feel free to create one when it suits you the best.

I can invite you as popper if you so desire, but you could also apply as cherry if you wish.

can i be half cherry half popper ? i mean im going to make giveaways on begining until you will make me a cherry (after i meet the required 500 of entries without a win) i can make giveaways for other people (every 1.5 month or more often , i also want to make giveaways for everybody on steamgifts.com)

It is either one or other. What your are suggesting is joining as popper and applying again as cherry when you net enough statistical bad luck. It has been done in the past and is completely alright. Group has no mandatory giveaways so one should not feel pressure from that.
