What is it?

So I saw reddits version of secret santa and thought it would be great if we did another version of this for steamgifts. So I created this steam group. This is a group made for people who enjoy gaming and can give awesome games to others who would enjoy them. This is made to enjoy the spirit of christmas and of sending gifts to each other.

How does it work?

Sometime during December everyone will be given another member of the group randomly that they are to send a game gift to. This will give plenty of time for the person to buy a game for their allocated person. It is recommended that you use the persons wishlist to figure out what game to gift them to ensure they will like it. The game will need to be delivered to the user on or within 5 days of christmas (25th december). The gifter must create a private giveaway on steamgifts for the person to enter.

Group page

Rules

  • Minimum CV of $150
  • Only give games as presents.
  • An updated steam wishlist with at least 30 games on it and none that you already own. The top 10 games should be ranked properly.
  • Upon joining the group, an initial unbundled giveaway of at least $10 non sale value will be need to be created within 48 hours to ensure you are trustworthy. You may make more steamgifts giveaways after this but it is not needed. (I didn't want to do this but I don't want the group to be exploited and couldn't figure out a better way to check people are trustworthy).
  • The gift sent to your allocated partner must be an unbundled game of at least $10 value when not on sale, and must be on the persons wishlist.(This is to ensure fairness and to make sure no one exploits the group).
  • The gift sent to your allocated partner must not be exploited or have had a price error at any point.
  • The gift you receive must be activated on your own account and is not to be sold or to be given to anyone else.

There is currently a group limit of 50 and I will close the group when it reaches this amount.

Please comment if you qualify and wish to join the group. Also feel free to ask if you want anymore details of the group.

edit:Invites will be closing on december 1st, so comment quick if you want to join.

Tl;DR: There is none. Read or leave.

Eh, I'll need to get a pile of cards to sell if I'm to join something like this. Time to bug the friends who ignore them and offer them bundle games for cards again. I'm happy, they are happy, someone else is happy once they win.

Not quite enough to participate in this kind of topic though, so I need more hits on my trade topic.

Hmm, good point... Some troll might load their wishlist with stuff like GameMaker: Studio Master Collection, Sonar X3 Producer, 1C Complete Collection, etc. :) Or you'd get someone who buys all the discounted stuff on their wishlist, and the only things left are full price...

Good luck generous people! :)

I may try to reach the giveaway though. But I have a question about the "Prove that we can trust You" giveaway. Can the game be from sale? I read that it must have 10$ non-sale value, but do You mean that it's normal price must be 10$ and above and sale it would be like 5$ for example, or that You must buy it when it isn't on sale and it must cost You 10$?

I mean $10 full price value. You can buy it when on sale so it would cost you less if you want.

I think this is a really great idea but the CV seems too high. It's even higher than OP's. Mines pretty low, as I'm just getting started but there's always next Christmas I guess. Good luck with this you guys :)

Yep, You're right! Rules should apply to everyone. OP, maybe You should make the required CV to 150$? Then I would be able to join really soon (1 giveaway and I'm done!) ;)

Really love the idea of secret santa, but 200 CV too high for me as well.
So + 1 for CARLEST's question: could it be lowered to 150$? :)

9 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Is it really that hard to giveaway another $50 worth of games?

And if you complain that you can't afford to do that, then you probably shouldn't be doing a secret santa in the first place.

It is true what carlest said, that rules should apply to everyone (even me), so i've lowered it.

What if I have over 100 games on my wishlist ? I have that many because I just wishlist every game that interests me and wait for a sale but I guess the top 30 games are the ones that matter for this secret santa group ? If that's the case, I would go sort mine out.

Of course, that's after being invited to join the group. :)

You can have as many games as you want on your wishlist (I have over 300!). If you have a lot it would be a good idea to sort out the top 30 though.

well even if there expensive games there is a steam winter sale coming up as well as an autumn sale. You will be able to get the majority of them at a discount.
Also thats why I put a minimum of 30 games on wishlist so then you should at least get some variety in games and pricing on them.

i don't have enough cv but what if someone receives his gift and is like "fk this" leaves the group? I see so much problems, you might want to think about it and tweak the rules.

People arent going to be paired up together though. I'm trying to avoid that situation hapening. That's isn't how secret santa usually works.

I thought you said partners would be allocated and I assumed they wouldn't be secret to each other as they would need to see other's wishlist.

They would know each other's wishlist, but they wouldn't know who got their secret santa.
