Recruitment closed until I've sorted things out for the group and my private life, as the first month of 2017 was by far the worst month of my life which made it impossible to manage the group properly

Hello again dear SG friends, (listen to this relaxing music or this little bit more active music while reading this wall of text :3)

Poor But Generous is a GA group created for those among us who wish to be part of a relatively small and exclusive GA group while not having the money to gift enough games to be part of one of the better known groups. Of course, people who do have the ability and willingness to buy more and/or bigger gifts are welcome to, but there will not be any preferential treatment ;)

Earlier this month (december) I created this group with the intention of making a nice little christmas event (If you were a group member during the christmas event, please take a look at the announcement in the group page), however I also mentioned I would most likely continue the group if there was enough positive feedback. Since most of the feedback turned out to be positive, I decided to life up to my words and continue to manage to group, albeit in a slightly different form. There will be two sorts of slots available for members; 100 slots for normal members and 50 slots for gifters (see the rules below for both sorts of members to get a better idea of what they are).


Rules for normal members: (57/100)

  • 1: Those who join the group as normal members will have to create 1 mandatory GA within 7 days of joining the group (there is no minimum cost, it's about the idea of giving something away, not about what price the gift had).

    • No region region locked GA's
    • No level restrictions on GA's
    • GA's have to last untill the 25th of the month, 11 PM CET / 2 PM PST
    • The GA has to be specific to this group only (unless you have a whitelist with less than 50 people on it, in that case you are allowed to add your whitelist as well)
    • If you decide to make more than 1 GA for the group during your time as a member, you are allowed to create those bonus GA's with the same rules as applied for 'gifters'
  • 2: Although this group is aimed mainly at people with less money to spend on gifts, a minimum SG level 2 is required to join as a small prevention system to keep out the people who join and than leave as soon as they've won a GA.

  • 3: You're not allowed to have multiple wins of the same game and/or unactivated wins.


Rules for gifters: (17/50)

  • 1: Those who join the group as gifters will have to create 1 mandatory GA within 7 days of joining the group just like the normal members, although gifters are allowed to create GA's the way they want themselves, they are allowed to use level restrictions, region locks, etc...(one exception to this rule is that your your first GA has to end the 25th of the month at 11 PM CET / 2 PM PST just like those of normal members, if you end up making more than 1 GA, you're allowed to let those end whenever you want)

  • 2: Gifters can enter as many GA's as they want, but for each game they win there should be 2 GA's created. (The title of gifter is meant for those who want to give, if you like to win more, please apply as a normal member :P)


Extra information

This group will work in periods of 1 month at a time, at the end of the period, al members will be asked if they would like to stay in the group for the next round (next month) either as normal members or as gifters, if they decide to stay as gifters, they will have to create 1 GA within 7 days of the start of the new round again, if they want to stay as normal members, they will have to re-apply in the new recruitment topic to give others a chance at joining as well. Those who choose to leave the group can of course re-apply for the group at any time, though there won't be any preferential treatment for former members as we would like to give a chance to as many people as possible.

One more small rule that applies to everybody: If and when you win a GA at least do what is right and give the creator of the GA your thanks, if I find out you didn't do this within the 7 days after a GA, you're out of the group, unless the creator of the GA has stated in the description box that no thanks is required (Some of you might hate me for this rule, but I personally just can't stand it when people act ungrateful towards somebody else who basically bought you a gift).

T.L.D.R.: No way can I summarize this many words into 1 sentence :P


Applying for a spot is now possible, although the invites won't be send until the first of january!

[Edit 1: A simple thing you are expected to do: Please only enter GA's you would actually like, not just for the +1 to your library, other people would actually like that game]

[Edit 2: Sadly the invites will have to wait 1 more day (january 2) because of the busy schedule I had during the past few days in real life, I hope you understand]

sorry for all the delays, this week has turned out to be a really busy one for me because I had to attend a lot of parties and had a lot of friends and family over myself as well, tho I'm finishing up the list of gifters and normal members now, the invites will follow shortly, tho I would like to ask you what you meant; A normal member or a gifter, because a normal gifter makes it kind of impossible for me to tell which one you wanted :3

What I meant was to be a normal member but I'd still like to give when I can afford to as well.

Did I get it right that normal members don't have any special rules about entering giveaways? If yes, I want to reapply as normal member.

well there is still the rule that you are expected only to enter GA's you actually think are interesting for you, not just to get a +1 for your library, tho there are no other rules (I think I forgot to add this to the topic, thanks for the reminder, will add it in a bit if it's not there yet)

no entry form required, at least I don't see any need for it. All you need to do is comment that you wish to join the group either as a normal member or as a gifter. Once I start inviting those who applied I will just check your SG account for inactivated wins and multiple wins of the same game, if that turns out alright you will most likely receive an invite. Only one other small check might need to be done (still working that out because I just got some really valuable feedback from somebody about the christmas event which I will take into consideration)
