Hi littlepulco, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group?
If I won't get a reply in a week I will simply mark you as not interested to join on our list, but you would still be welcome to join once you have beaten the game :)

I would like to join!
Currently just on the progress of Riddled Corpses won in Steamgifts.
I will play Batman: Arkham Asylum Goty Edition ! that i won and never played it yet.
But it take time for me to download it with only 80kb/s internet without 24 hours pc on (total 8GB).
So maybe can i book for a place :(
Sorry for the low standard internet.
Comment has been collapsed.
No worries. Take your time.
Just to note, your starting point is 1.6 hour of playtime and no achievements. Normally we prefer games with no playtime at all, but we'll let this one slide ;-)
Good luck!
Comment has been collapsed.
i HAVE DONE the story line! with 11 hours gameplay within 4 days! (1.6 hours was idle so that should excluded)
Did i still need to complete other challenges or achievements as well?
I have some screenshots uploaded for tracking so please have a views if needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure you can :) Are you going to create a group giveaway after entering or are you going to play a game that you won before?
Comment has been collapsed.
I can play a game that I've won before. Is it already enough if you have played some games that you have won?
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, it must be one you did not yet play before thought.. Just comment the name of the game here and then start playing it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
To quote the OP: "...comment again when you finished playing it"
Do you believe you finished playing? I think these links will help you decide:

I'm also interested. I recently started working on my SG backlogs (only 2 out of 6 wins so far, but I'm working on a third).
The constriction of playing a win will be very helpful to keep my backlog from growing too. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, sorry, forgot about that. I'm making a giveaway for a game I want to see played. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure what you mean with Joiners, you can join for sure, but let me know what entry method you like :)
Comment has been collapsed.
xD meant as joiner :D but looked after that I guess I have to play couple games before you can invite....
Comment has been collapsed.
You can pick just one game out of your previous wins, comment which one you will play and comment again after you have finished.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it must have no playtime and achievements yet :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I will choose.... Bit Blaster XL
EDIT: +HM2: WN, already forgot that haven't played with my acc xD

I would like to join, when I finished: Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes Collector's Edition .

You can, comment when you have finished Endless Space. Just as a note: you've already idled it 6 hours. Have fun!

Hi newplayeer, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group?

I'd like to join, will create a giveaway right away.
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, feel welcome then, curious about your giveaway :) Invitation was send!
Comment has been collapsed.
I would like to join. Creating giveaway wont be a problem, have some spare keys :)
Also I guess i will play Octodad, won it today and it was on whishlist for a while :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Your welcome to join :) You can pick one of the two, creating a giveaway will grant you a direct invitation, but you can also play Octodad and comment again when you finished it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You'll play any game you win from this group within one month.
What kind of madness is this??? Not joining, obviously, I'm not that crazy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, seeing you only joined two giveaways in five years I guess your not joining anything at all! xD
Thanks for the bump ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I stay away from giveaways (non-mass ones anyway) because I'd feel too guilty for "taking the win from someone else" when my backlog is so humongous :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Your welcome to, what option to enter do you choose? As I see you did not win any giveaways, you can also pick an unplayed game from your Steam library if you choose to play a game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool idea, even nicer stats display on your site. I would like to be part of the group :)
I choose the 2nd option to enter, if you don't mind. Already found an enjoyable game to share, i'm sure i have some more in my keys storage. See, I've already started playing a couple of my latest wins, i would rather not start another one right now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your welcome to join :) Invitation was send. Of course I don't mind at all, I'm curious to see your first giveaway!
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, got it and joined. I've also created two giveaways, one dedicated and one shared with another private group, couldn't decide which game to give so i gave them both :D
Now, It may sound weird but i have second thoughts about my keeping the group rule due to a very loaded schedule at the moment, mainly dealing with personal/financial matters which might keep me offline for some time. I feel a bit coward to be honest, since I don't want in any way to be dishonest for this good cause and possibly win a game that i can't have the time (or be in the mood) to play it, so I'll leave my the group now and maybe apply some time later during the summer, if you wouldn't mind then. ;-)
These 2 giveaways is the least i could offer to this cool idea, thanks for the invite and sorry if it seems rude of me, please be sure that this was not my intention!
^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Instead of leaving, how about you just don't enter GAs unless you're convinced that you'll be able to play them within a month? Occasionally there are giveaways for very short games that wouldn't post too much of a challenge (schedule-wise). Let me know if you want to me to resend you the invite.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for your understanding ;-)
I tried to make it work the way you're suggesting but just couldn't. Thing is, right after entering the group, my list got filled with high-chance-to-win games, which would be awesome considering that many of them are already on my messy and huge wishlist. So i opened every one of them to find that they belong to this group, then my OCD triggered: do i have to enter some of them and risk with the idea of pushing myself playing a specific game? or just to ignore all those great chances of winning a wishlisted game? Too much dilemma for me for half a day. I almost spend a couple of hours trying to decide which games to enter and make a temporary backlog in case i finally enter and hopefully win some of them. Too much stress..😳
On top of that, the rule of playing your wins in a month -which is very easy target for a casual gamer- to me it might be quite stressful, regarding the shifting circumstances i have to deal with , at the moment. On the technical part, what frustrated me more is that many giveaways are shared to many groups and Playing Appreciated is not easily picked out, i've already entered a couple of them GAs by mistake, which hopefully i found out later and removed my entries. However, this might be solved by dropping my whole wishlist in an external file and start clean again, also with coding a script which could scan GAs for specific groups and marked them with a red exclamation mark (well it sounds like a job for revilheart :p )
Full disclosure, i'm using game playing and such activities to overpass a form of chronic anxiety (GAD) that caused minor heart problems, high blood pressure and insomnia. It was caused due to everyday compulsory high levels of stress in my job environment, which i quit some years ago. That's why i don't get involved in stressful projects, i'm having a short attention span on demand and purposefully, and so far it works :D
Thanks for the support and sorry for the big reply. ^_^

I appreciate the detailed explanation and respect your decision. Two things though to keep in mind if you get to consider coming back:
- You don't need to beat a game to meet group requirements. Giving it a decent attempt is sufficient to remain in the group. A decent attempt is just to play the game (typically for a few hours), rather than idle it.
- (stating the obvious) When you win a game you can remove your entries from other group giveaways. That's probably what everyone should do, unless they have a lot of free time. Quite a few members though got hooked on winning, only to discover that they bit off more than they could chew :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey! Not rude at all, thanks for the giveaways :) Feel free to join anytime you want and feel to when you got time on your hands.
As you see from Yirg's reactions we would be happy to have you, but no stress - for now a big thanks for your contributions and openness! :)

Thank you both for your kind words and understanding! <3

Hey, would like to join, will create giveaway for group, not a throwaway one ;)

Sure, your welcome :) In what way do you like to enter?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure if this is the place to post it, apologies if not.
The Battle for Sector 219 has 4 leaderboards, all of them with 0 entries globally and no mention of them in-game, I don't think it's possible to get on any one of them (See: 1, 2, 3, 4). Request that leaderboards be dropped from the grouptool's completion metrics for The Battle for Sector 219.

Being new is not an issue at all, but there are other entry requirements. Please see the OP for more.

i was going to answer, but it was too late prefered to leave it to the next day. was going to edit my answer..
i ll act like i did'nt understand your picture Reforced :)
i can do both ways:
- Last Game Won & played i think was: Monster Loves You. i ll launch it to make things easier for checking.
- i can also drop a giveaway for joining the group!
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, alright xD The idea is that you can pick one as you please... Let me know your choice, with option two you'll get a invitation right away otherwise I'll check back after you've finished the game.

Hi Reforced. i was away this week. yeah sure i ll make a giveaway asap.

Hi, I'd like to join the group. Since the only game I have won on SG I played last night (doh!), I'll choose the second entry option and gift "Guacamelee! Gold Edition".
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi :) Sure, your welcome to join Jon! I hope you'll win something soon, giving away so much already and also this nice introduction giveaway. Invitation send!
Comment has been collapsed.
hey can I join? (2d option)
quick question does it invalidate the GA (entry wise) if I also share it with other groups?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure you can :) Invitation was send. We'd like to see you giveaway a game to this group with the thought you also would like to see it getting played within a month.. That's the thought behind it. If you go sharing it with other groups it just a entry giveaway without appreciation to the thought of the group. Take that in consideration please when creating the giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was just asking because I noticed a few of the "Unlucky 7" GA were shared between the two groups with people mentioning if you were apart of playing appreciated to play within the month.
but I'll keep that in mind

Introduction
Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.
