no offense but you are asking for people to give non bundled games even though you have given away no non-bundled games
It seems you are trying to leech but i could be wrong

Have you read EVERYTHING on the Group Page like I asked you to? Please read absolutely everything before making remarks like this.

1.) Quote of rules: "Make at least one giveaway a month, DLC's and Bundled Games do not count. "
2.) /me looks at admins sg profile
Result of that:
3.) No thanks, no need of the next adminleechergroup.
edit: Fuck, I already wanted to go to bed ;_;

Read the freaking announcements. I told you to read everything.
Edit: The only reason you think I'm a leecher is, because you didn't read everything.

Since giveaways don't show who enters until the winner is announced, assuming not everyone in the group enters, you can easily enter any giveaway regardless of what your announcement says, and if you win make up an excuse. Not saying you're going to, just speaking hypothetically.
Add on that the contradictory lines stating "no starter giveaways" and "users must make a giveaway within first month", yeah, you're going to get a lot of people criticizing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay I respect criticism. Yes, I'm not going to be making giveaways for a while, but I will not enter any. And think of it like this: When I can start contributing that will be my starter giveaway and I have good plans as to what that game(s) might be. I also do not get what you're saying, how will people know if I enter giveaways or not? If I win, that's public, so obviously I wouldn't enter any.

You can:for example your Crayon Physics Deluxe giveaway

I'm still confused at what you're trying to prove to me. I didn't enter that giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. What I mean is, say the group has 37 users: 30 users and 7 exempt mods, admins, etc. If only 25 users enter a giveaway, a mod that says "I won't enter" can enter and nobody will notice because the total entries is still under the user limit, until a winner is announced. If the winner is that "I won't enter", all he has to say is "Sorry, I didn't mean to enter, but now I'll just make another later, kthxbai", lose some users, and start recruiting again.

Well if you were listening... I'm NOT going to enter anything... Sorry I'm going to stop trying to explain this. Have your opinions I don't care.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay I still do not get how I did that. If you can explain to me in really good detail I might get it. Sorry I'm a little slow on things sometimes, it's not your fault it's mine that I don't completely get what you're trying to say.
Comment has been collapsed.
I already did, but I'll try again.
First and foremost, just because you say you're not going to do something doesn't mean anyone is going to immediately trust you're going to follow through. As much as you claim you're not going to enter giveaways, there is nothing stopping you other than your own word. You'd be in a better position if you recruited when you are capable of following the rules you've created for everyone else.
Next, there is a serious contradiction in your group rules. It's in the same sentence, in fact. "No starter giveaways required, but you do have to make one in that month you join. This one has to be at least $30." No starter giveaway, but giveaway within a month of starting? A forced giveaway is a starter giveaway.
Finally, a personal opinion. "Giveaways that are responding to a user's ratio have to be at least $15...". What if a user's 2 wins are, say, Fortix and Poker Night 2, for a non-bundle total of $6. Or maybe someone hit Bioshock Infinite and Payday 2 Pre-Order for a non-bundle total of $89.98. On one side or the other is just doesn't add up.
EDIT: One last opinion: monthly giveaway requirement. Probability is a funny thing. Let's say I'm in your group (please do not invite me) for 4 months and have made my 4 required giveaways, but probability has seen to it that I have won nothing, setting my ratio to 0:4. Was I just paying for the CHANCE to win, as in gambling? "Sorry buddy, thems the breaks. Make a giveaway by next month or we break your kneecaps." A community shouldn't be forced active, as someone is going to lose, and potentially badly. Game together, run discussions, MAKE it active.

I know the other admin is not in a good position looking at his profile and after what he said, but I will do my best, so that everyone will respect the rules, even if they are admins, moderators or users. I've created 3 awesome giveaways, so that users will want to join and be safe that we are not leechers, and as time comes we will create more awesome ones.
That part with no starter giveaway is put for the only reason, that when you join this group you are not force to create a giveaway right away, but as you win and time passes you have to create one every month to keep the group active, and to not become a leecher.
"Giveaways that are responding to a user's ratio have to be at least $15...". Here I agree with your point of view, the only reason we put this until we have a reasonable number of users is to not allow users to create giveaways like Bad Rats, etc. I actually want to create a wishlist for games under 15 dollars that users want, and this games will be counted as giveaways even if they do not match that 15$ mark, games like Poker Night 2, Terraria, etc.
And the last part, we want this group to be active not only by gifting, but by gaming togheter, chating, creating tournaments and much more. But this group is primary a GIVEAWAY GROUP, read it in the title if you didn't get that, and around that we want to keep this group active.
If you don't want nothing with us, why this hatred against us???

Casual is like, make a giveaway whenever if you want (the best groups) and they focus on community and chatting...
1:1 is like this giveaway group where you are FORCED to make a giveaway or be kicked, those never turn out well and they arent fun for anyone

Yes, I feel this group will be indeed, EPIC. I have a good feeling for the days to come :)

Have you just disbanded the other group? (Sorry if it's not the same guy, but I swear you already run a group called "The Other Giveaway Group" and I was kicked for some reason.
EDIT: Yeah, it's the same group. I'm guessing the admin kicked everyone because nobody was making enough giveaways for him.
Comment has been collapsed.
No I didn't run it before. Read the Announcements, please. The old owner left and I explained why I kicked everyone :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I am going to stock up on games, and then later contribute. I can't contribute right now, because I can't start stocking up on games. I was planning on having a thread asking what game series people would have wanted as a giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
And I kicked everyone, because I was redesigning the group and trying to improve it, I didn't know who was a leecher and who was not.

Btw 999Flame, love your avatar! Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda :)

Oh and we have a lot of reading, because it's not easy summarizing what we're trying to do lol. And if people read the whole thing they'd understand :)
