So last friday was my birthday. It's hard for me to believe, but I'm now less than a year short from my 30 year-old crisis. I'm hoping it won't be worse than any other birthday crisis I've been having since I started hitting my teens, but who knows. Forever young, I wanna be forever young...

In any case, I've been around here only for a few months, but I kinda like it. I don't know if I'll stay for a long time or not, as there are always way too many factors around life that we don't control, but hopefully it'll be a good time meanwhile. For now, I prepared a train to celebrate, which is something I really like seeing around :D

Hopefully I didn't mess up with sgtools:

Happy birthday! Don’t let the stress of the 3-0 bring you down. That’s next years problem. ^-^

Thanks! Yeah, time passes no matter what, so it's better to not get too hung up on it... Theory is sound at least, the problem is practice!

Thanks! The main crisis I'm having is picking where to put my bonus stats and choosing the perk I want. I'm a bit of a munchkin, so I can't help it :)

Happy birthday ! Don't worry about the 30 years old crisis, you're still young ! I'm going to be 40 (too) soon and it frightens me more than the 30 turn.

Thanks! Everyone older than me says that I'm young, and while I can't say I really feel like it, I do know where you guys come from, as I see people younger than me and I can't help but think "damn, they're just snot nosed kids with so much ahead of their lives".

Bump, those sgtools rules must be very harcore

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't think they are, but I might have messed up with them, as it's the first time I'm using sgtools. From what I see, at least some people have entered, but I'll double check that they're working properly. Not getting specific on the details, as long as someone isn't too much of a leech and has done a few public giveaways, they should be able to enter. Still, I'm even going to relax them a bit more, but not too much.

I can't say much about the rules but can't enter and would say that i am no leecher with 1k GA's made and "a few" public GA's too ;o)

Yes, you're indeed not what I would call a leecher, but mostly you make private / group giveaways. It's not a bad thing, as I understand why people (including me, I'm not free of sin) would do that. However, I feel that the site depends mostly on having public giveaways (even if relatively high level ones) and I want to give a chance to those who keep it alive. I'm sorry if you are unable to enter right now, if I see I'm still being too harsh (by not enough people being able to join) I'll relax the standards even more.

Just don't feel I have anything against you or really anyone :|

It is not important if i can enter or not, i said it only because i think that you maybe made a mistake/too hard rules as a result of your unexperience with sgtools rules.

If the public GA's allow the basic checks from sgtools, cool. If the site kicks much more of the rulebreakers as they done it the last 2 years, great. If it give other options to hold the autojoiner users, bots and rule breakers away from public GA's, great. If i don't have with each 4th public Ga winner work/problems after a GA, i would be happy. In all this cases i would be happy to make MUCH more public Ga's.
Until then my public GA numbers will not raise much.

Much too much bad experiences the last months.

Oh and it don't feel as you have anything against me. We don't know each other and i don't personal attacked because i can't enter giveaways or something like that.

They are your giveaways and you have the right to gift them how and to which one(s) you want :o)

I can completely relate with your reasoning, and I don't condemn it. In fact, I hold some of those beliefs myself, so how could I blame you for taking action against the problems?

But without public giveaways, there would be no chance for newcomers who could potentially become great members to want to join and participate more. It's bothersome that it implies having to deal with ungrateful people as a result, but there's some good that comes out of it.

I just checked my stats and it seems my received CV is higher than my sent so might be that, didnt even notice it - guess its time to make some GAs
Edit: seems I can enter them now :)

Well, it was probably the other ratio I mentioned, as I said in the other post, I don't think you're a leech from your stats.

EDIT: I confused you with Masafor, it's late and there were too many people around, lol

Nah, having a bit of received CV over sent wasn't the deal. You'd have to be quite higher than a bit.

I'm denied entry as well. Now that I've read this convo I got curious what might be the reason. My real CV sent is higher than my received one and I do mostly public giveaways. Also I guess I don't fall under the leech category. So I'm wondering - which criteria is it that I do not pass? No rulebreakings here of course either.

Happy late birthday btw :)

Regarding the real CV thing, I'm not being overly restrictive and as long as one hasn't won WAY over what they've sent, they would pass. The other would be to have a certain percentage of your giveaways as public.

Aside that, it might be one of the other usual rules: no unactivated wins, no multiple wins, no VAC banned... might remove this last one, honestly. And just make them public, I feel I was worrying too much about it.

Relaxed a bit around the ratio of public giveaways, because while I understand why people would make private ones (as I find myself in that situation pretty often), this site mostly depends on public ones. Probably a bit unfair for me to demand as much as I did, so I lowered it.

Ye, I've never learned how to use SGTool but I guess it can't differentiate between large "public groups" and small closed groups.

Life and time flies by, so don't worry about how much time you spent but how you spent it - make the most of it.

That's my advice at least.

Also, yeah, thanks for the gibs.

Yeah, time goes by so fast, it's hard to believe. I wish I could Kage Bunshin no Jutsu like Naruto and get a thousand of me to have enough to do everything I want, but I'll have to do with my single self :D
