hello everyone,

This group was created with the intention of creating a strong community of SG users.
Are you tired of running giveaways and not getting any thanks if they win?
Would you like to be sure that the people who are going to win are people who are going to play or really want it?
Are you tired of seeing the same giveaways over and over again?
Do you want to have more chances to win by participating against fewer users?
If you have one or more yeses to these questions, this is the group for you.

To enter, you must be level +3 and have a ratio, that is, real CV divided by real RV, greater than 0.35. (Periodic checks will be carried out so that we are all within that minimum ratio.). I will personally evaluate each case, and be more receptive to people who play their wins, who do full-value GA, and who have good manners when winning.

It is very important to read the group rules and you can read them here

It is now necessary to create a GA with 5 entries minimum when you join the group

To apply for this group, please comment on this thread and then request a group invite on Steam. If you are accepted, you're welcome to join the Discord server.

accepted, but you have to be careful with that ratio, and the games have to be full value, something you don't usually do.

Hi! Sent a request. Not receiving thanks is not the real issue, but activating the key and not marking it as received.

what happens with games that get retroactively added to the bundled(*) or free(**) lists? ofter it takes some time for the mods to add a game to its proper list and until then the game appears as full cv while in reality it isnt.

If it's done as long as it's full value, it's valid for now. In the coming weeks, we'll be adjusting the rules to make them as fair as possible, and this issue will be addressed by everyone.

I think you sent a request yesterday, but didn't reply in this thread.
That's why it was rejected because it couldn't be assigned.
Gus will invite you later.

In fact, it's happening. Glad to see it, but you have to be careful. Winning a full-value game with low amounts like yours could cause you to lose the ratio. Keep that in mind, accepted.

Will do!

I pressed my luck and sent a request to join once there were 119 members.

I'd probably make more shared GAs, since I can't afford most games that have full value on SteamGifts. Games either need to be in a bundle for be or on sale at or near a historic low before I even begin to consider purchasing, which leads to often waiting for future bundles or wishlisting games in hopes of being able to afford them during the Steam winter sale.

Also, I remembered I still had an extra FF VII key. So I've made a full valued GA exclusive to the group for it.

For now, we have closed the process. We now have 120 users. We will likely open new applications in the future, and then evaluate your entry. Thank you very much for your interest.

Hi Gus - I've dropped in my request. I see you've closed admissions, which is fine - I'll just wait here in the lobby for future openings. Don't worry about me, I brought a book.

Break a leg! I seem to remember you mentioning a new play you were going to be in a while back, though not sure if this was the one.

Hi Lightning - It probably wasn't this one, this one kept me so busy that I tapered off on gifts lately - and have hardly had a chance to game in a month and more. If it was recent it was probably Under The Ice, in which I played an angelic sort of fish character this past spring - that one was super fun! Next up after the current one is Shakespeare's As You Like It. Thanks for the good wishes!

Just missed the time to apply :( so have to wait until next time. I was an "unfortunate" winner of Total War Rome giveaway during your March event but wasnt able to redeem the key due to region restrictions. Just wanted to say thanks...what your doing for the community has been great! Cheers!

Seems my lack of scouring the forums has made me miss the deadline. Well, can't be helped - I am bookmarking this thread and am looking forward to the next admission period and will apply then. You have been warned. πŸ˜‹πŸ˜Š

Admissions are closed but I don't think I'd really fit in any case lol. I've been trying to focus on getting full CV decent indie titles. Feels like the heavy hitters are gonna give bangers away and really mess up my CV lol.

I am intending on leaving the group I'm in to try make more events. May be nice to just be in one group, but the requirement might wreck me lol. In addition to being very behind on games I need to play. But great initiative gus!

You Real CV ratio is 0.94

Comment has been collapsed.

I am aware. However, it feels like it would get quite bad given the 'more than likely' high quality games that will be given in this group. My wallet can't compete, so I expect my real CV to just get lower and lower lol.

Yes, we're already full for now, but you should still improve the ratio, since you can't reach right now.

Oh - I missed to apply. :-(
I simply did not see this post and now it is too late. I for sure would love to apply for membership once you are willing to take more members.

Out of curiosity - how do I determine my "real" CV ratio? Is there a place I can check it?

Ok - I found the following post that answers my question: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/qspZQ/how-do-i-calculate-my-real-cv-ratio#aI0RgbJ

Edit: My CV seems to be about 1.4.

1.38, I use enchanted steamgifts extention and it shows the ratio on profile :)

sorry, it was Enhanced SteamGifts & SteamTrades (ESGST) but not sure if it's working for extention... Maybe need to use as a script for you.. (in short because Manifest v2 is no longer supported)

Thanks for sharing!
Well it seems the Chrome extension is no longer available: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/enhanced-steamgifts-steam/ibedmjbicclcdfmghnkfldnplocgihna

Never mind, I suppose my CV doesn't matter anyway, since I missed the application deadline. This is the first time I've learnt that there's a difference between "CV" and "real CV". (At the moment, I don't even know what that difference is.)

2 months ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

The difference is quite simple. CV includes all full value, reduced, no-value games, while real CV includes all full value and reduced value (meaning 15% of the full game value) games
So if you giveaway full value(no asterisk) game the CV - 50$ and real CV - 50$, for reduced value game( 1 asterisk) CV - 50$, real CV - 7.5$ and for no value (** - 2 asterisks) CV-50$ and real CV - 0$
Hope this clarify :)

Thank you! This is useful information. Therefore, "real CV" is always less or equal to "CV". :-) I think I've got it.
