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).

I am bit on the edge on your case whether to accept right away or not. You haven't really played your games but on the other hand your library is quite small.

The very minimum is 500 entries. If you reach it without win, consider visiting thread again.

Just for checking, you are familiar with the only requirement a popper has?

Outta curiosity why only 1 month? :o

Comment has been collapsed.

You would put it higher? Personally I feel that one month is sufficient long time that member has at least had chance to enter good solid number of interesting giveaways in. Any shorter time period feels a bit rushed. Longer ones on the other hand feel too demanding. I have seen people net easily over 1000 entries without a single win in less than month.

Its core reason is to reject too new members who think that after couple days of trial, and without a win, they are deemed unlucky. True, some will win on their very first day but only quite small portion of user base manages that.

I woulda thought 2 (maybeee 3) would be better. A month of joining the site and not winning is a pretty common thing. So I'd imagine loads of people would be able to join. :p

Depends on how many giveaways one enters and to which (bundle games versus bigger titles). With current requirements, there are surprisingly few people joining. Biggest cut comes that application thread is on forums (I mean, who reads forums?) and second cut comes minimum requirements. Those that are left are not that many. For few months, number of cherries has hovered around 30 to 40.

Really? How odd, with all the people who complain about never winning, and with all the people who don't win I thought it'd be higher. :p

I then actually notice it is 500 entries and more but haven't saw that information in the guide lines :/

there used to be something about 1 month or 500 entires so you might get reserved.
then again there used to be something about entering after a long losing streak.

That requirement is not found in there directly as it changes according to current situation. I put in the opening post so people could more easily decide should they apply or not and also to give certain idea about desired minimums.

Rejected (too few entries).

I'll only put people in reserve pool who will be soon accepted (preferably in few days). Just reapply once you net some entries and tries under your belt. I recommend posting it in a completely new comment as I do not see replies to my own comments in my reply history.

Reserve pool.

Getting three giveaways to be removed by a moderator nets you negative points and therefore I would demand higher number of entries than otherwise. This is done under assumption that you did not know that those keys were considered exploited.

I have to voice a complaint.

You are wrong and do now owe me at least 57 games now, which is the difference between the number of group members and another, completely random number which may or may not be how many games I won.

Certainly not everyone made such giveaways and I think you are the first one who has applied under this case. Try to net some positive criteria and perhaps then we can look back to your case.

I have several games to give away and I can not have you discriminated against me and I can not enter contests or give away games. when everyone else has made. this product is not just to some users.

Unfortunately, I could not comprehend the message behind your previous post. Verdict stays: get more positive profile (how is up to you) and then you can apply again. For now, application stays on rejected.

I can not, will not let me. I know what this is, this is for four friends to take the game from them, and new or you do not know those you send out.

Banned.

I understand that people can be disappointed after rejection. If it was because of not being unlucky enough, they can reapply again once their situation has changed. Throwing insults is not the solution.
