I prefer the new system to the old one. I did notice a lot of people sitting on 1100+ coins, but that's probably because they never had a chance to spend it due to the bots.

Well, I have to say I'm glad I did raise the ninja krowns to 1125 until this weekend. Only 1 bid of 1125 krowns and I got Doom. I do prefer this system instead of trying to get 7 rabbits and getting none, or a crippled one. I'm also happy I didn't spend any on the discounts like many people did.

How can anyone have 3,875 krowns or 3,400?
At 50 krowns every 24 hours - we get 350 a week, times 4 weeks its been going on? = 1,400

Just because they start with the same letter doesn't mean they're the same email.
toadbuttsnake@gmail.com
toejamistasty@gmail.com
tapeyourbuttcrackshut@gmail.com
would all be obfuscated as
t****@g****

Or just something like:
tomsaltaccount1@g...
tomsaltaccount2@g...
tomsaltaccount3@g...
tomsaltaccount4@g...
tomsaltaccount5@g...
Statistically, that many coincidences are borderline impossible.

Statistically speaking, people make up statistics to support their argument.

Exactly my thoughts that i wrote before but not embedded a highlighted picture to show what i mean.
Yours is easier to understand because of that.

It's not 1 account. If we assume that 'g' stands for gmail it can be 2 accounts with same email.
FYI - mail addresses can be amIbot@gmail.com, amI.bot@gmail.com, am.Ibot@gmail.com, am.I.bot@gmail.com, etc... because gmail ignore dots before '@'. But mails on all these emails will be received in only one mail box. So it's very smart to register on Kinguin multiple accounts by using this method.
Comment has been collapsed.
Um, no.
It's one letter. You can't make assumptions that those are the same emails. That's like saying everyone on SG with the same first letter in username who enters a giveaway is an alt account. Like... how many people use gmail. Loads.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just scroll through the comments and see how many people (many regular users here) have said they've gotten games... :P It's merely a coincidence there's so many similar emails there. There's definitely a fair few multiaccounters, that much is inevitable, but your image is wildly misleading.
Comment has been collapsed.
For anyone questioning the legitimacy, it's very reassuring to see that 2 of the 3 copies of Doom were won by SG users.
Seems to be working OK so far, will be interesting to see to what extent the highest bids drop as the weekend progresses...
Comment has been collapsed.
None of the events have been fake, I've gotten at least one good game every weekend so far. And people gotta at least give Kinguin some credit in how they fixed all those bugs relatively quickly, and have been constantly trying out new systems to make this giveaway better. They clearly listen to feedback.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I know, I'm not a "truther" :D
The first few weeks the implementation really was enormously poor, though - I understand it was mostly decided by server location and certainly it was physically impossible for me to even have an attempt at grabbing anything.
However, I agree they've clearly made a decent effort at improving it. I managed to grab a couple of good games with the previous iteration (well, the iteration before the vouchers, which feel like they shouldn't really count), and although I was dubious about this most recent version I think it's working pretty well up to now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't/were. Was just adding on to what you said, and talking (roughly) to the same crowd of people.
Comment has been collapsed.
No worries :)
Actually, I feel like changing the event as they have really does clarify what's going on... It always felt like you were competing with hundreds or possibly thousands of other users to grab the keys, so it's kinda fascinating to see how few people are actually making bids now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think a lot of people (me included : P) are waiting for people to lose much of their coins to the entry fees and for the average prices to go down. Or at least to see if they do by Sunday.
Comment has been collapsed.
me too, while hopefully still be able to find a good game available :P
But I only have 350, so my hopes are poor like my account :|

You are always happy with everything(without any reasons). This is getting annoying.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, right? The only thing worse than happy people are annoyed people!
Comment has been collapsed.
What about people that are happy when they are annoyed?
Comment has been collapsed.
I always give reasons, and I mostly am so persistent about it because there's been/is an overwhelming amount of negativity in this comment section and I wanted to offer my opposing view. There's a lot of (I feel anyway) undeserved hate and bitterness over a free giveaway, and I'm of the mindset that when you try for free things like this you don't have the right to be so nasty in attitude. We're beggars here.
Don't get me wrong, I've gotten annoyed a lot with Kinguin's site too, but then I realize 1- What this is--a giveaway, 2- That I was prepared to waste a bit of time trying for this free stuff or should have been, 3- That I have managed to get a few games from it--free, good games! and 4- Just how many people there are taking part here and for Kinguin to cater to. Oh, and that whining and adding to the negativity here won't do anything.
Plus, if it really gets so annoying you can always just walk away. Nothing is forcing you to be or stay involved in this giveaway.

Lol, I also won a copy of Doom today. Spent all my Krowns on that one though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow that's great. It finally paid off for you to be patient and collecting all the krowns. Ok a fair amount of luck is still needed, but those who were unlucky before have better chances now.
Hope you enjoy Doom!

Had this problem before. go to you cookie settings search for kinguin and delete everything that shows.

Ok so me having 650 points means I'm not getting anything worthwile
Comment has been collapsed.
See if things change by Sunday, and if not, you'll be ahead of many next weekend!
Comment has been collapsed.
Everybody will be there next weekend too, with more points to spend too, so the situation won't be better next week-end.
And with so few game keys (3 per giveaway) and so many people on this event, it will get worse with a great inflation of the bid needed to get a game key. After a few weeks like this, the bid needed to get a game will be so huge that it will take months to collect enough ninja krowns for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Many would have bought some entry tickets this weekend. If he doesn't he'll surely be ahead of them next weekend with what he collects + his 650. People that just barely don't have enough now are of course going to be advantaged over many in the next weekend with their savings.

Edit: I know it was a bit harsh, but these gif were only posted to say in a funny way that I was right (and future has proved I was right). I didn't deserve to be blaklisted for that, imho.
Comment has been collapsed.
you are still neither wrong or right, and i still dont get why you are still whining... the system works, its easy to get a game with the right amount of points and time.. and 900-1200 points for a game isnt that hard
so for fks sake, stop crying
Comment has been collapsed.
And as someone posted here the difference between 1st place and 2nd place was really big on some cases like 1200 for 1st place and then only like 400 to 500 for the 2nd place, so you could still get a good game with 600 coins
Comment has been collapsed.
just in case you missed your facts :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeh ,it's not looking very enjoyable for a lot of us ,i haven't even participated yet with 720 points.
Doesn't seem worth bothering.
Probably wouldn't even get a cheap game like Keebles and if i did i'd probably have to pay way over the odds for it.

Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection Origin CD Key
975
600
75
It may not be your definition of worthwile but as you can see you can get games with less than 100 coins, you just have to be lucky enough to be able to get them cheap

Has Nier been only once so far or somehow I missed the second? I just hope they don't put it tomorrow at the same hour

When I lose the birds my NK are not coming back to me
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe your NK did not come back because you won the desired game (when I won one of their auctions, it was in silence without any message). Check your Kinguin account to make sure the game is not there with its key ready to be redeemed.

You searched wherever I ever went, I found everything and I did not find it.

Same here , points have gone but game hasn't shown up in my inventory ,also checked emails.
edit:
Used all my points now on two of the cheaper games and haven't received them .
Points = 0

There's an asterisk (I think) near the "...get your Ninja Krowns back" sentence, but I can't see where it leads, so maybe that's the reason (like they'll give them back after the weekend, or something like that).

Got For The King for 1125 krowns, since I wanted it mostly.

Do I want to bid on Child of Light? Always wanted to play that. Or should I wait and see if I can get a GoG Witcher 3?
Damnit, with only 925 koins I can't decide as I REALLY want both. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Better chances for Child of Light, the last bids were around 825 NJK. It's quite possible for you to get it.
Witcher 3 had significantly higher bids. You could also save up your krowns for the next weekend.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I guess one of the few consolations is that I already own DOOM, RE 5, RE 7 and Dark Souls 3 so a few I don't need to go for... Unless I can get an RE 5 or 7 for my friend. :P

Man I could have got RE7 with all my coins but the bid went so high I didn't want to risk
Comment has been collapsed.
you dont lose your coins only the starting bid coins.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, I already lost 75 coins trying to get We Happy Few so when it went to 1375 I thought it wasn't worth it to lose another 75 as I could only bid 1250. I was wrong. Hopefully I still can get Nier, tho I don't have high hopes.
Comment has been collapsed.
At least someone from sg got it! Congrats! I imagine you thought you wouldn't get it when it went to 1375 as I did, lol. Nice win. Last time the third place for Nier was 1350 I believe, and also I was sleeping. Hopefully it won't be that high next time and in a different time but I doubt it. I shouldn't have tried that We Happy Few bid, haha.

I've been trying to get Doom all day & get out bid by about 25 njk every time. About to give up. This is just eating through my stockpile.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hate that, On my only try I got outbid by that damn amount. Bids seem to be lowering though. Maybe wait till the last couple of minutes to see if is convenient to bid and get risky with a relatively high amount? I mean, if you really want it, I guess.
