Bump for the nice idea :D
I'm a hog freak collector, already have them all.

A pity -- I do not satisfy condition 4, because I gave 100+ region restricted gifts. I always find this condition very strange -- I mean, it does not matter that I gave about 50 non-region restricted giveaways... so the rule actually encourages me to STOP giving gifts bought directly from Steam... :(
(It is not as if all people from my region were my personal acquaintances...)
But nevermind -- thanks for putting up the giveaways, surely other folks will enjoy it.
Cheers!! :D

Region restrictions are annoying (which obviously is not your fault!). I thought I would share these GAs with users that have provided to SG as a whole. It is entirely your decision where you purchase from, and how you filter (or don't) your GA entrants.
My last batch of GAs were public, I haven't decided what to do with the next batch now that should I have enough GA slots to almost completely cover 2 happy hours.

Fair enough! I just find strange that no one thinks of putting up restrictions of the kind "User must not have created too many high level giveaways" or "user must not have too many people in blacklists", which are essentially other ways of restricting the public and completely up to the user... while region restrictions, which are enforced by Steam, are kind of seen as a negative thing. :( :( :(
But the ratio thing is what really bothers the Mathematician in me... Because it sounds as if (20 public + 0 other gifts) > (50 public + 100 region restricted)... From my point of view, it would make more sense to use something like [real_sent_cv - (real_sent_group + real_sent_region_restricted)] > xxx -- is that a possible rule in Sgtools?
Sorry, I do not mean to sound negative! I really meant thank you for putting it up the giveaway -- it is a contribution for the community, just as much as high level giveaways and group giveaways I cannot participate in! And maybe I should indeed try harder to buy from shops which provide less gift restrictions, so I can reach more of the community with my giveaways!
Many many cheers, and have a good weekend! :D

(20 public + 0 other gifts) > (50 public + 100 region restricted)
This looks to me like 70 public vs 100 region
So if those public giveaways had twice the value in that example, one may qualify
real_sent_cv - (real_sent_group + real_sent_region_restricted)] > xxx
This is pretty close to what I have, in your example we could use:
200 CV - (20 group + 50 region) = 130, which is greater than 50%In my rule real_sent_cv *0.5 > (real_sent_group + real_sent_region_restricted) we get
200 *0.5 = 100 > 20 + 50 | TRUESo I think your example rule accomplishes the same thing as my rule, it is just written a different way.

My notation was too succint, I apologize: what I meant is: consider two users, which I call A and B:
A: gave $20 in public gifts and $0 in other gifts
B: gave $50 in public gifts and $100 in region restricted gifts
Well, user A passes the ratio rule, but user B does not... which is really odd, because B gave more than A in all aspects.
So in some sense, if we want encourage people to give, we should be measuring ABSOLUTE value of public giveaways, not ratios.
Cheers!

I agree with your point. However, it was also a 3+ so the minimum given away would have needed to be $50. Still, you have a valid point and I will keep it in mind in the future.
Instead of
real_sent_cv *0.5 > (real_sent_group + real_sent_region_restricted)maybe
real_sent_public + real_sent_private >= 50Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, exactly!
And on another positive side: I hope I helped with all the bumping! :D :D
Cheers!

I gave a big portion of my games as a gifter on the unlucky 7 group so unfortunately I don't qualify.
Have a bump anyway!

I like your SGTools gateway. I used a similar one here, but I like that you made the group and region restricted together.
