Hello beautiful people,

I got a copy of This War of Mine I would like to give away. I think this is a very special game; I gave it away once before and the winner never touched it to this day, which really is a big shame - I was thinking back then I would gift some amazing crazy game everybody would start playing right away - so it was and is pretty disappointing to see it rot as +1 in someone's library. This time I would like to see it go to someone who really appreciates and values it.
To avoid wasting just another copy of this wonderful game right here I have some strings attached:

In order to get an invitation link from me to a private giveaway for This War of Mine you should have

  • this game wishlisted since before 1st of April 2016
  • less than 700 games on your account
  • less than 150 games won
  • less than 100 games on your wishlist
  • at least given 0.75 of what you've won in numbers
  • at least given 0.5 of what you've won real CV wise
  • activated all won games
  • not won the same game multiple times

If you fit the criteria and you really really want This War of Mine please post in this giveaway with a link to your wishlist: http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/ae330836-0875-11e6-a85e-04019cc0dc01
If you meet all the criteria I'll add you and give you the link to a private giveaway for This War of Mine.
I might be lenient with my criteria if you convince me how badly you want to play this game ;)

Taking applications for a week from now on (ends 29th of April), the giveaway for TWoM will last a few days longer, so I'm not missing anybody :)

Take care all ♥

I think you are amazing for going through this length to ensure that giveaway entrants actually want this game. The mentality of "It's free so I'll try to get as many games as I can even if I don't actually want them" is quite bothersome when gifting here.

Bump for a great idea. I am puzzled that there are only 3 entries, but you sent out much more invites...

Aww I only heard more in depth about this game recently and wishlisted it about a week ago. I pass everything else with a good margin. Oh well, I already have quite a few games to play. I hope whoever gets it enjoys it as much as you did! Thanks for the GA! :)

It's nice to see these extra steps being taken to make sure such a quality game doesn't end up being wasted.
Thanks C:

Eve, I feel terrible and sincerely want to apologize. I could try to explain that when I log into Steam at the end of the day with just an hour or two to game, it's so much easier to play something familiar rather than start something new, especially when I immediately get invitations to join friends in a game, but that would just feel like an excuse. The simple truth is that between bundles and the games that I've won here, I've built up a backlog that I'm not proud of, and have even recently joined a group that focuses on whittling it down (and I'm starting to make some progress). With rare exceptions (certain unwanted bundle games that were included on a single Steam key), I honestly intend to play all of the games in my library.

Like all of the giveaways I enter, this is a game that I genuinely wanted and want to play, and in an attempt to show you that it is very much appreciated, but more importantly that you are appreciated, Eve, I'm starting it tonight. Thank you again for the game, for your generosity and all of your contributions to making the community here a better place, and please know that I'm sorry. ♥

That reality is very common here. :) It's my reality as well.

Same here. And I do feel terrible about it. But mixing the above reasons with having a bad internet connection (max. 360kb/s -.-) just makes it such a pain in the ass to start new games even though I want to ;_;

I've won this game on SG and feel guilty for not playing it yet.

This War of Mine is truly a phenomenal game. I've almost 100% it! And thank you EEEV for giving someone the chance of playing it! :D

I actually came here to bump and say that "The Little Ones" DLC is coming to Steam!

The Little Ones builds upon the ideas presented in This War of Mine by emphasizing the unique needs of children in war zones. “This War of Mine: The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of enduring war, but also the fact that even in times of conflict, kids are still kids—they laugh, cry, play with toys and see the world differently. In addition to thinking about survival, you'll have to bring back the kid in yourself to understand how to protect the little ones. Their faith, and their futures, are in your hands.”

Hype! :D

I've played This War of Mine for like months on my Android phone.
My people died tens of times before we could make it to the end when everyone survived and had a good ending. What a day...

I have to admit that this game was excellent in its design and idea which, well, made me feel guilty and uneasy... F* The War.

I would like to join this giveaway to try it again and see if there is anything different and new, but too bad, I am a new user to Steam, so there's one thing that I didn't fit in, that is: I've got like 200+ games on my wishlist. Do I have to delete most of the other nice wishlisted games to get this one?

Thank you, ev. <3

I meet the criteria, but I probably wouldn't play it right away, so I'll pass. :)

Have a bump bump!

It's up, we haven't talked on Steamchat though yet, so I did not have the chance to send the link to you yet. I was a bit busy the last couple of days, actually that's why I made it run for a week ;)

sigh

Passing everything with flying colours, except again failing on the wishlist numbers (271). D'oh.

But is there an easy way to check for RCV ratio? Might want to use the check for other stuffs...

Awesome GA though, I really love wishlist GAs. There should be a way to make them on SG.

But ... I'm doing it here on SG?! ;)

The only "easy" way I know is checking your stats on sgtools and then dividing the value of games sent between the $ amount of games won - tadaa: your ratio.

Oh, and I use that "sgtools links on profile" script, so it's really just two clicks.

Oh, that script sounds useful! Too lazy to check for those. ;)
