Ummm, no offense, but what? You don't like newcomers, who enter raffles they don't want to win? You do know if the winner does not respond after 7 days your raffles can be re-rolled to have a new winner, right?

So you havent had a response yet for 19 hours and you are mad? Some people dont log on for two days or so, because we have lives ya know.

Your giveaway ended only 19 hours ago. Seriously? Please wait at least 7 days before you create a thread like this one.

The previous I waited 7 days, added him on Steam, said he won and claimed the gift... See the other giveaway, my first one and tell me WHY.

And yeah I don't like people with 1 entry to win.

And definitely I don't like people who don't say thanks..

If you're that concerned about people who "don't want to win" entering and winning, then do private giveaways and only invite people you like. This isn't a problem with the site, it's a personal issue of yours.

Feel free to add me on Steam and give me all your gifts instead if you want, that way you don't have to cry about this nonsense. Thanks in advance!

You rant about other users yet your behavior isn't a shining example either.

Hypocrite much?

Thanks for reading this post.

How much further 'til we get there?

Why does it bother you so much?

The people who win don't know you and don't -need- to add you to say thanks. It's a nice thing to do, but many people say thanks in the comments anyway, so it isn't that bothering. Oh, by the way, the first person who won did thank you and seemed happy to have won and you knew it.

So what's your problem? I don't see how being a newcomer (which he wasn't when he won that giveaway) means anything neither.

I'm sure Mu6o, you have good intentions, but this is just a pointless rant.

So let me get this straight. You're asking the mods to control other humans' behavior? Along with this, I see absolutely no reason why you would be complaining about your first giveaway like this. They clearly wanted the game and they thanked you when they won. They weren't even really a newcomer when they won (over a month old at the time of winning).

I'm not even going to bother with your second giveaway since it's been so soon since it ended.

I think the answer to your quibble is to make a private group where you only invite people worthy of your games into it, and then run group giveaways.

At least, that's what everyone else does.

Honestly, stuff like this is why I think we should get fewer points. I pretty much enter every giveaway that I would even consider playing, and I'm still gaining more points than I know what to do with. If everyone didn't have so many points, then we'd actually have to save up to enter the giveaways we want most.

I have sort of become one of those people. I had to travel for work, and my return home keeps getting delayed. I can't play games on my laptop, so I have barely gotten a chance to play Portal 2 that I won weeks ago. When I won it, I didn't have a chance to accept the gift until the next day. Once I can go home and get back to my desktop, I'll be playing Portal 2, as well as my other games. Even then though, it will probably only be a few hours a week. That doesn't mean someone doesn't want a game. In fact, people who don't have a lot of time to play probably value the time the do get even more.

All I'm trying to say is that there are legitimate reasons for everything you mentioned other than not thanking you. If you are only talking about not thanking you before they won, then that really isn't a huge deal.

You would probably be happier making private/group giveaways with fewer people. I often see people thanking for giveaways they aren't even entering when it is a game they enjoy.

I do think points should be lowered, but please don't stalk and judge winners to make sure they're playing the game.

You don't know their lives, their schedules. You don't know if they intend to get to it or not. Maybe they got bombarded with work, or something else came up, and they just plain forgot. Maybe they're like me and they have a huge backlog of games to play. Maybe their freakin' grandma just died and they've been too depressed or busy to play games. Maybe they're in college, like I am (thus leading to the backlog I mentioned) and they can't find the time? Maybe they're specifically NOT playing it to save it for a time when they can give it full attention - for example, I preordered Battlefield 3, but I won't actually play it until the first week of December, because Origin won't download on campus (Steam will, thankfully) so I couldn't play the demo, it ships on the last few days of October, and I'm doing NaNoWriMo so I won't be able to give the game the attention it deserves until December.

You are essentially fabricating a tale about this person and then projecting it on them. It's not fair to them and not likely to be correct.

Edit: Plus, your game is Magicka. When I first bought it, I didn't play it for a while because I had to pester some of my friends into buying it too.
