What if I'm on your whitelist, but think I shouldn't be?
Bump, looking forward to whatever event you have in mind!

Lol. You definitely should be because you're quite cool although I'd never openly admit that.

I scanned through, but I'm not going to debate anymore as it's a fool's errand.
It's convenient to say this when you are given arguments and facts, but you can't provide any refutations in response, especially when you yourself raised this topic a week later because of some random person in a public group whom you see for the first and last time. It's both funny and sinful from your behavior
from the community that you wouldn't even know. You are not active in discussions, you do not give away games, and when you did give games, you only gave to a certain group (doing this allows you to enter giveaways at higher levels meanwhile you've not actively created any of the public giveaways you enter; the world is not just take take take my friend)
Do you even hear yourself or did you start making such childish, absurd logical errors out of emotion? A person sitting on a public page and reading the forum, when the statistics are in front of his eyes, aware of the events and dramas due to the forum - is far from the community and does not know what is happening in it, and in order to figure it out, he must necessarily constantly write something in the forum comments, as well as regularly use the functionality of the GA? Without this, a person cannot read the forum and does not see what is happening on the public, especially when this person has been sitting here since 2013 to this day? Your logic would be appropriate if the person has clearly not been sitting for so long, and if he does, then only in group or private GA, without going to publics. But, as you can see, I personally am on the public page and have been for a long time
You're making assumptions throughout your entire argument.
That is, you do not see the very fact that most people here distribute games from bundles, niche discounts / price bugs / from other trading platforms or received somewhere else for free? Since you personally do not see and did not check, then these are assumptions? Even if we discard the obvious logic and your inattention, then you can also check non-programmatically which giveaways are the most done using the functionality of the site:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/wishlist
In the category "$1.00 or less" on the first page you will immediately see several games that currently have 1k active giveaways on the site. You can also personally verify, although it will not be objective, if you add popular products and at the same time poor ones to your wish list. Do you think that having such products in your wish list in the amount of about 6k, will your wishlist category of giveaways at least have the first page full or not? Will there be many popular games there or will there not be any at all, and if there are, then at most 1-2 times only one game from your wish list and then only during the sale? Will there be so many distributions that there will be several pages of them, when the game gets into some bundle for pennies? And this will not even be an objective picture, but only within the framework of your wish list and restrictions on your level, the entire scale of these "wonderful" distributions and the behavior of people in general is not visible. If you were interested in the community and were at least a little sober-minded person, then you could write a program to check the statistics of what is happening on the site. But as it is, you did not even try to check in reality what is happening in the community and whether your limited fantasies about it are true. And you also say about someone that someone is far from the community (let's omit your logical errors described above). It's somehow hypocritical when you call someone "far from the community", making limited conclusions that are based on logical errors, and you yourself did not even try to do something to objectively analyze the community, spend a little time writing a script or at least use the internal functionality of the site, which was created for the community (it turns out somehow interesting, since you consider yourself to know better what is happening in the community, but do not even use all the functionality of the site for the community)? Well, and don't forget that you yourself said that you don't often spend time on public GA's and how you build fantasies about the community on the public:
I don't do many public GA's but I like to try as I imagine

If you were aware of the nice people on the site, you wouldn't say they just do it to increase their level.
The exception is now the majority for us? Wow, it turns out that in real life there is nothing absolute and there are always exceptions, but they are not the decisive majority. Forgive me for not meticulously clarifying the obvious aspects of life and not mentioning the obvious - that yes, there are also normal givers, but they are like a drop in the ocean against the background of everything and in no way changes the fact that:
Most of the giveaways are from bundles, niche discounts/price bugs/from other trading platforms or received somewhere else for free. That is, a person himself is aware of what he is giving out publicly to random people, to anyone, regardless of personality and preferences. FOC, and the maximum he will only get if the giver really wants to get something for his giveaway - this is a level increase for the opportunity to join the giveaway with an increased contribution, which increases the chances of winning.
true in likely all religions
2025, religion, rely on it seriously as an argument, and not as a discussion of part of culture in a historical context... It's not even the case that from a scientific point of view, religion is only self-reflection and self-deception, and not as something serious. You yourself raised the topic of hypocrisy and here you rely on the most hypocritical thing. The Inquisition; the Crusades, which ended with Christians attacking other Christians - Byzantium, and then each state called its military campaign against another Christian state - the Crusade; pornocracy in the Vatican and intrigues; pedophilia... It's so religious, very moral. And this was only the topic of the highest representatives of Christianity, but what is happening among the mer people who call themselves "righteous"... Even if it is not Christianity, but, for example, Mulsomancy, how it was rewritten and split, how righteous are the texts about pedophilia and rape, as well as justifications of terrorism. Yes, very moral. It's funny that you brought up a hypocritical thing like religion as an argument, considering how "not a hypocrite" you are, as you said, although there was no mention of you in those messages
it's morally right
It's morally right when "to give away to anyone in a public space in order to increase your chances of winning, and also to demand that random people give away in a public place. When you win giveaway from a specific person, and then also do the giveaway publicly, where the that giver will not even know about your giveaway and most likely will not notice, but you console yourself with self-deception, like, you are thus returning "what is due" for your victory in the giveaway of that person. And who are you returning? To your fantasy, when objectively you won the giveaway from a specific person?"?
Is it morally correct when "themselves come up with rules in their heads for a public place where people mostly give away games from bundles, niche discounts/price bugs/from other trading platforms or received somewhere else for free to increase their level, so that later they can enter more profitable distributions with an increased chance"?
Or is it morally correct to get into someone else's wallet and draw superficial conclusions, forgetting that a person may not buy games at all and over many years the games appeared as gifts from friends, and also he has little time for games and only occasionally allows himself to play a little?
It sounds somehow hypocritical again when a person starts talking about morality in such moments?

You talk a lot about increasing chances with leveling up, I want to know more, because I'm level 8 and always have the same chances like everyone else participating. /s
And we all know that no sekrit El Dorado waits at level 10
In the category "$1.00 or less" on the first page you will immediately see several games that currently have 1k active giveaways on the site.
No, this are all GA done, since the start of the site.
I also wonder about the purpose of your screenshot.

Good day
So, I am busy trying to make an event. It may take some time to complete, but I thought I'd be nice and perhaps include a whitelist shortcut. For this purpose, I am trying to see who should be on my whitelist. I have added people overtime, but I tend to forget and overlook these things sometimes. If we have had a decent interaction and you feel you should be in my list, then shoot a message here. I won't respond to anyone as it looks funny if I say, "You're in!" and "You're not" and seems almost mean.
Of course, most of the people on my whitelist are from the puzzle community and will likely try do the whole puzzle by themselves in any case, but still :P
Whitelist check: Letters - a written adventure
EDIT: Seems there may be some confusion. The event can be accessed by all. You don't need to be on my whitelist for that; I would just the whitelist dudes a shortcut through (if they so choose to use it).
