Contribution to the Nominators train: Lost Planet 3 by JonathanKalo; SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition by nonamebg; Cities in Motion 2 Collection by CowOfDarkness
Contribution to the Nominees train: mystery game by JonathanKalo; Death Goat by nonamebg

72 valid nominations till now, check here to see who (disclaimer; clean sheet check at start of trains)

Click here to see who already made 1 or 2 nominations...


From time to time there's a big clickbait announcement of great games given away by someone and you enter the thread in anticipation ….

... to find out it's another nomination thread ...

In those threads you see the same names getting nominated time and again and not without reason: they are the ones making all those events, creating the puzzles we have fun with, commenting on anything&everything and giving away ludicrous amounts of games. They are the backbone of our community and they deserve some recognition.

But recently a few far too many!!! of those 'community leaders' have announced they'll be leaving SteamGifts temporarily?!. And that made me and Fruitbean wonder who will be the community leaders of tomorow...

So we thought of this event which is meant to be a nice way to shine a little light on the lesser known heroes of SteamGifts. The people who are kinda new and trying to find out what this community is all about... The people who aren't yet invited to all the cool inner circle groups that are around but will be after this!... The people who are not addicted yet... but have every sign they will be very soon

So please nominate 1 or 2 lesser known heroes who you think will be the community leaders of tomorrow and explain in a few words why (no explanation = no nomination). First come, first serve. So pick your favourites quickly! I wonder how many people find this sneaky link

Rules on nominees:

  • level 2 to 5
  • more than 50 % public giveaways (and/or private forum giveaways open to the community)
  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans

Rules on nominators:

  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans
  • don’t nominate anyone who nominated you

All valid nominees will be invited to a group and get access to a train with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Primal Carnage, Yosumin, Sparkle 2 Evo, The Last Remnant, Bloodrayne 2, Gyromancer, Journal, Lara Croft & the Temple of Osiris, Bedlam, Just Cause Collection, Monochroma, Tomb Raider: GOTY Edition, Alien: Isolation, Hitman Absolution: Elite Edition, South Park™: The Stick of Truth™, Sniper Elite 3
All nominators of valid nominees will be invited to a group with access to a train with Murdered: Soul Suspect, Millie, Front Mission Evolved, Room 13 and Evil Within

But wait, there's more!

In 6 months we'll check on all nominees to see their progress in becoming the next community leaders. We'll measure their progress in 5 categories:

  • most events/puzzles made since start of event (nominees have to provide links for this one)
  • most ga's made since start of event
  • most comments since start of event
  • most real cv value of ga's made since start of event
  • best known / most popular (measured by some sort of poll)

The top 3 of all categories will get invited to a special group with special goodies. If a winner of a previous category gets another top 3 spot, number 4 will take his/her place and so on. 15 winners in total, no more. Their nominators can expect something too.

NOTE: If a nominee doesn't want to be part of this event, just decline the invite to the group and you're out. Simple as that.

Saw this thread some days earlier, never got to reply. Even though i have no one to nominate (since all that would come to mind already seem to be), but like the idea of this.

Ok, so I'm nominating watary

Big chunk of his GAs are public (and he is active in Positive Thoughts, so group without any kind of ratio - you have to have clean profile and at least 1:1 overall ratio on SG to participate). He's friendly in the forum, so no intollerant / trolling posts from his side. Also he registered 4 months ago and has got already 222 sent GAs (I have half of it while being registered from more than 2 years xD),

Strange, 223 sent ga's on steamgifts, 121 on sgtools. Quite a gap, I wonder how come.

valid nomination though, so: added!

He is in 2hu, so a lot of his giveaways might not get 5 entries (so no CV).

No winner giveaways don't count towards your profile ratio. As long as the giveaway has at least 1 participant and marks received, it'll be added to gifts send.

I just found the topic, even my name among the nominees. Very interesting idea Waxlor, but I must admit I'm not a big fan of such events in which you can select and nominate someone. And simplicity reason for this is that someone will always remain "overboard" - it is inevitable. Yes, you are right I was often chosen last.:)

Waxlor, I see that some people made contribution for the trains. Can I participate with something small or it is too late?
Maybe SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition for nominators, and Death Goat for nominees train?

mabdk is great, and yeah lately very commited to the blueheart but yet fits the req as it's more public GA's than group/wl! :)
So i'll add him/her to the list, cheers sigma3.

You gotta figure someone else. ;)

well... you did when you got nominated. So as far as we are concerned you're a valid nominee. And being here only two weeks and making massive ammounts of ga's does kinda qualify you as the next SG hero :)

It's up to you if you accept the group invite and/or enter the train, but we gladly have you!

What Waxlor said, you are exactly the sort of people we are looking for!
I mean look what you accomplished in that short ammount of time, it's suits the event kinda well imo.
Then again everyone can't go crazy like you hahah! ;)
And you sure deserve some reward for it so would be glad to have you aboard, you should take the ticket.

So how much longer do I have for this? I just found this this morning, and I need to go to work and visit some friends who are visiting from Australia. When are you closing nominations? :)

Oh, I just saw there was a nomination limit of 75 people... o_O
I may not have time to do this, but I still think it's a cool idea.
Any chances of donating some GAs to the event for the winners? :D

keohookalani, you still have time!
Don't rush it, we haven't set a stop yet.. We started to invite people to groups to prepare abit, but not closed anything at this time.
I would be very glad if you contributed with an unknown SG Hero or two! :D
And about donating for the train, i should talk to Waxlor aswell.. But you should be more than welcome to do so if youd like & it would mean alot not only to us but the ones who get into the trains. :)
Edit: I have talked to Waxlor & he said the same as me, you are more than welcome to contribute for it.
You can add me on Steam later when you have time.

Allow me to give a big Thank you! for inviting me into this group. To even be considered one of Steamgifts' lesser known heroes is a humbling honour and pleasure! I don't follow nomination threads so this blindsided me completely.

That said, I have respectfully declined the group invitation.

What I have contributed over the past two months, was more of a fortunate concurrence of events, but not something I can sustain in both time and budget. In fact, I have become rather absent here due to time constraints, and I don't see this changing in the coming months. Therefore, I believe me entering is unfair to the people who genuinely belong on this list, and who are working hard in the community to be creative and supportive and challenging (I think I've only solved like 3 puzzles here!! What a noob!) and give away tons of games. Being around them would just make me feel like a leecher. No one wants leechers. No one!

I will leave the loot in the hands of people more deserving of it, and I will still drop by occasionally to sneak in a giveaway here and there simply because it makes me feel fuzzy inside, and to check what our future heroes have in store for this great community.

Good luck to all you unsung heroes! May your songs soon fill Steamgifts' Halls of Fame.

well, in our eyes you are a valid nomination and deserve your spot in the group and train like any other. So if you change your mind.... And if not there's always the bluehearted consolation price you won't be able to decline, muhahahaha :P

User: rclbob - Showed up about 3-4 months ago, level 5, I see them around a lot even though they have limited GAs. They are slowly making their personage known and I personally haven't seen anything but greatness from them. I feel that over time, they could blossom into someone we all know. I may be biased because their icon is similar to my other friends and it confused me at first, but that's helped me identify them as well. :)

User: LemonDrop - I don't know LemonDrop personally, but it takes a certain kind of person to try to build a group from the ground up. I'm not a member of Citrus Contributions, but I am impressed with their willingness to create their own group and start establishing themselves as a new group leader. And as we all know, most of our group leaders here, turn out to be people that contribute a lot to the community anyways.

You made me work hard for both, since they both do <50% public... But after some research I found enough puzzles/forum posts with private giveaways open to everyone. Both added!

Oh, trust me, I had to work myself to find people who weren't already nominated.
Actually it was hard, because I had one more I wanted to nominate but it came down to these two.

I have now rolled out the invites to our group for the nominators aswell! : )
If I did miss someone, or you did not get invite sorry i've had mega troubles until I realised that it's all Firefox.. Why am I still stuck with that, it seems like Firefox is close to Internet Explorer these days.. Everything went smooth as soon as I worked in Chrome, sponsor confirmed! ;)
Make sure to accept the invite & stay tuned, super glad with the outcome so far!

That's a necro. Please, don't reply to threads where the last post was a few years ago. Plus it's not even on topic, people were asked to nominate someone, not to ask to be added.

Unreasonable bumping. When bumping a discussion you should try to ensure it is in the best interest of the community. If you notice our community is not engaging with the content after it has been bumped a couple of times, then you need to stop bumping the discussion unless important new information or updates would make it appropriate to do so.
