Please create a qualifying giveaway for the group within 24 hours or you will get kicked.
See rules:
The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
Therefore Heaven & Hell 2 does not count.

Hello, MouseWithBeer. Can i join by playing Cursed Sight?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi battousai07, yes you can join by playing Cursed Sight, let me know once you beat the game.

Considering that
a) I saw what that deleted comment above said
b) I took a very good look at your playtimes and I highly doubt most of them are legitimate at all
c) finishing just one of the 4 acts is not good enough for that game to be approved
you are not welcome to rejoin the group.

1) you most definetly did not add the "(no offense intended)" and I am not sure in what world that is an appropriate answer to answer someone with. If you are not able not to answer stop yourself from answering to something an admin of a group you are trying to join said to you in a sarcastic tone I am not sure you can be trusted to follow the rules (after not following them the first time).
2) oh I am not saying you didn't download all of them or that you didn't play them, I am saying your playtimes are not legitimate aka idled. There is one too many games that seems to have 11 hours of playtime and when I go look at the achievements I can clearly say the actual playtime is nowhere as much.
3) you played a bit of act 2 and act 4, that is it. I am not counting the achievement from act 1 that you can get right after you start the game.
4) if playing games you won on SG is a waste of time to you I don't think this is the right group for you.

Hello! Can I join via Option 1? I have hundreds of games on my backlog... can I play Small Radios Big Televisions? I like the art style a lot.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I play Small Radios Big Televisions?
It should be one of you unplayed wins here from SteamGifts though. Only if you haven't won anything yet you can choose any unplayed game from your library. So I'm afraid Small Radios Big Televisions doesn't qualify. I'm not related to the group though so this is not an official answer but I'm familiar with how the group works.
And don't forget to say which game you intend to play BEFORE you start playing ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oops! I thought I had won that one. I will switch to Lethe - Episode One instead. Thanks for the advice!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you won it here and it does have achievements so that's check and check but under How to join Option 1 it also says that the game shouldn't be very short and that's the point I'm not entirely sure about and why you should wait for MouseWithBeer's final Ok.
According to HowLongToBeat Lethe takes ~ 5 hours for a Completionist playthrough which should be ok but I haven't been paying attention what is considered very short for the context of this group so best to wait for MouseWithBeer's All clear before you start.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I will just wait for them or another admin to reply to this comment. Until then I will get started on Small Radios Big Televisions. Again, thanks for the help!
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't been paying attention what is considered very short for the context of this group
The not being too short of a game requirement is mostly there just to weed out all those open the game and get all the achievements games. Anything over an hour I will be more than happy to accept without any issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good to know. I assumed as much but I didn't want to make any empty promises ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi JATDragon, playing Lethe - Episode One will indeed be fine :) Let me know once you beat the game!
Comment has been collapsed.
Game beaten! I don't think the game takes 5 hours to beat. It took me about 3 hours of casual playing and I even got optional achievements.

Hello, I been playing my unplayed win (Tales of berseria) lately. Progress dont seems to update in the group tool, maybe you guys could check it? i would like to join again. Im around 14 hours in the game, thanks :)
It took me a long time but im getting around it

Hi ryoga22, sorry for the delayed response. It doesn't update because it only updates games that have been won less than 50 days ago automatically. I manually ran the update now and sent you a friend request so I can invite you to the group again. Message me once you accept it so I don't forget.

Hello, I'd like to join through option 1 by playing Kona (https://store.steampowered.com/app/365160). :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Took a little longer than I thought, but I finally did it! The storyline could be a little better but I loved the overall atmosphere.
(I also took a break from it to beat another SG win, https://store.steampowered.com/app/251710/Chainsaw_Warrior/ )
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump, because if I want a game to be played, I give it to this ^ group hence higher quality giveaways => we all share good games. Isn't that the most natural gift giving model we should aspire to? I like to eat good food and cook up good food ^^
Just make sure you follow the rules and eat enough of that dish within 30 days.
Comment has been collapsed.
And seriously don't bite off more than you can chew :D Don't enter too many giveaways if you don't have the time to play.
Comment has been collapsed.
a maybe dumb question for the mods: would be for you ok if i "add" to my PA giveaways an extra month of time (so winners will have 2 months)?
that would be a one time only thing, just for these holidays.
thanks Mouse! ..hey, Ref!
Comment has been collapsed.
That is not something I can answer, but I pinged Reforced to come answer you instead :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Giveaways, hmm.. ;) Well if it's a one time thing for some holiday event I'll be happy to change the times for you in the group tool, but I am curious why you want to extend the deadline? You having some evil plan to give away all Steam games and dump 1000+ games in the tool? Mouse still has bad dreams! :P
Comment has been collapsed.
dump 1000+
actually, that's your idea! (and Mouse can vouch that)
my "idea" was that these festive times one would enter/win/give away more than usual, might also be that you go on holidays, etc etc... so, an extra month for PA would come ..."handy". but i was thinking about something simpler: you, the mods, know that winners of my gibs have an extra month of time... really didn't thought you could change only my account/gibs on the PA tool... that could lead to other new awesome ideas (yes, Mouse, truly awesome ideas!)
that's the theory. fact is 15 hours ago i was ok, but now i'm quite sick :/ ...so i'm taking a few hours of pause and then, when all viruses have been defeated, decide what to do.
anyhow, i, we 'll gonna do something (so that Mouse would still have those bad dreams) might be that for these holidays or in 2020... meanwhile, have fun, the Ref!

I hope you feel better soon :)
Nononono please don't give Mouse bad dreams :( extra time is completely fine since Reforced said its ok I just need to know from when to when to apply it in case Reforced doesn't do some magic editing of the website in time :)
Comment has been collapsed.
should really save the next 1000 for the new year on pa. Infact double it and then just keep adding a 1000 for each year that has gone past. You added another person and you managed last year so dont see why you can't handle the double this time
Comment has been collapsed.
If he does that again he will have on person less to take care of PA ;) I don't think you quite realise how many tens of hours went into fixing that mess up last year.
Comment has been collapsed.
not at all. I have no idea how much work goes into just sorting out stuff normally let alone when you got 1000 ending at the same time. Plus with work and play ur wins mustve been tiring. Just need to hire more people so we can have that 2000! or I'll be kind 1000 where I can lose even more like last time and be left out
Comment has been collapsed.
Let me give you an idea: it took me about a week (with the help of Reforced in the end) just to sort out the playtime requirements and I spent a few hours non stop on it every single day. Thankfully I was unemployed back then so I had the time, now not so much.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh no wonder it ended up much smoother to us normal folks. yeah if you were working at the same time as all that it mustve been extra hell. No wonder u say u will quit. I will help fight the cause to stop that happening to u

Hi i want to join this group
I won The Deed from someone else on SG I will start playing it now and update this comment when i finish. Thank you
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't start playing it until you get a reply from the admins. You can only start on games you've won with 0 playtime: 0 achievements. They will then monitor it once they approve your game choice.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh no, i played for sometime andd got 2 achievements, not a problem, I won one more game called Syberia. it has 0 playtime. I will wait till i get a reply and play that. Thanks for letting me know the rules
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately, Syberia doesn't have achievements. Your other option is go through your game library to see if you have a game with achievements that has 0 playtime and achievements.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is fine to start playing the game as long as they actually comment about it before they start playing it (and the comment isn't edited). But they risk running into "wasting their time" (not like playing your wins is a waste of time but you know what I mean) if the game does not get approved.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh thats nice thanks , i will complete the game and update here once its done
Comment has been collapsed.
hi MouseWithBeer i have completed the game. what do i do next
Comment has been collapsed.
And since I don't really have anywhere else to comment to you about it I will re-purpose this comment to also say:
Congrats on beating a win for December is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month, you can request to join the group here if you want. Giveaways are available on the website.

I approved the one for Playing Appreciated, if you want to join the other group as well just send a join request there too :)

Approved the other join request as well (this one doesn't have any rules other than participating the even every once in a while so don't be surprised if you don't find any listed anywhere) :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, its the one where I have to add a game to a different website manually then play, complete and edit it as completed/beaten.
Comment has been collapsed.
Congrats on beating your game and qualifying for both groups. Oh and since you're new to this, you can see the group giveaways after you go to account>sync with steam>click sync with steam. Steam gifts automatically syncs every 24 hrs, but you can manually do it with this method.
Don't forget to also read this group's rules and FAQ page on Steam😉
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you so much you have been very helpful. Rules and FAQs of the groups you mean?
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem, and yes i read the rules, the most important one is that I play and complete the game I win in 1 month.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a great attitude to have if you want to qualify for the Playing Matters group (an even stricter group, I think you're on your way to qualifying for), but this group is a little less strict. Here's the FAQ page I'm referring to: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/playing-appreciated/discussions/0/133256959381015741/
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi this is for another game, i have a question.
The game has achievements, in this scenario, will uploading screenshots increase my score out of 100 or its only for non achievement games.
Also I haven't found anyplace to upload screenshots on the site yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't need to upload it to the website, you just need to upload them to Steam and the website syncs them automatically to it a couple of times per day :)
As far as I am aware it should increase it a little bit (the formula behind it pretty complicated so I am not 100% on that one, Reforced or Yirg would know better than me).

Hi anb61, with which option would you like to join?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't understand. How does joining this group give you a higher chance at winning? I thought everyone had equal chance of winning or is there a secret way of winning more.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are group only GA's that you can do. Therefore if you join a group and there is a group exclusive GA only members of that group can join the GA and win. Ergo higher chances at winning because of fewer people who can join. Every group has then also a set of rules you need to follow to stay a group member, e. g. in this case, you need to play each win within 30 days. If you do not, you will be kicked from the group and cannot join the group GA's for this group.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, ok that makes sense then. I was like. I don't want to enter regular GA with a Higher Chance of winning just because I know the right people. Though if it's a group GA, then ya. Members only. I see.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would like to join. I have only won, once and I am not ready to sit down and play it. So I will do a GA for a game. Sure, I don't ever give away my games in the hopes of seeing them played. I mean sure there are people who just collect games but never play them. I know that GA Policy states you have to add the game to your library. So I am not worried someone is just getting the game to trade or sell later.
None the less. I choose option 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi KitianaFoxtail, you are welcome to join with option 2, please request to join the group here and I will approve it as soon as I see it.
And whoever will win the giveaway you will make will have to play the game, otherwise they will be kicked from the group.
Comment has been collapsed.
Approved, if you need any help or have any questions about making a group giveaway let me know :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Guess I do need help. I don't see the group name when I select Whitelist/group.
Also what does the option mean by, "The game should not have been given away free before"?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see the group name when I select Whitelist/group.
You need to sync your profile with Steam before you will see them. You can do that here. You can get to that page by clicking the little arrow down next to you avatar top right of the page and then selecting "sync with Steam". After that you will be able to see the group on the list and be able to enter group giveaways.
"The game should not have been given away free before"?
Those are games that keys for it have been given away for free by developers to random people in the past. It is not OK to pick one of those games as your first giveaway (after that it is fine). You can recognize those games by having 2 stars next to their name on the game selection list. Example, zero or one star next to the game name is fine, 2 is not.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, posted a game. 7 Wonders of the Ancient World! One had a couple copies of. 17 hours but probably don't need that long.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well considering you region locked it to the US only (while that game does not have any region locks at all if you have a key for it) you probably won't get many entries as we don't have all that many members for the US. It is a really nice game tho :)
Comment has been collapsed.
well crud, how do I know if it is region locked. I live in the US. So I assumed it is US locked.
Comment has been collapsed.
For keys it usually tells you when you buy them (at least Humble bundle and Fanatical do 100%) if they have any lock at all, for Steam you can usually gift everyone that does not have the price 10% higher than the price in your region (you can search for a game here and it will tell you what the prices in every region are). For the US and Europe about 95% of the time you can gift to everyone.
Also additionally for bundles if you know the name of the bundle you can just search it up in the discussions on SteamGifts as the thread dedicated to that bundle usually has all the information about region locks for the keys you got in the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
ok then I guess I will restart the give-a-ways. That is if no has entered them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok relisted both games with no region lock as when I purchased them from Fanatical. They did not list any kind of region lock. I looked up how they show region lock on their purchases. So, unless I completely misread things. They are not locked. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Just to confirm how Fanatical shows them to you so you can be for sure: you can see it before you even buy the games. If there is not countries being listed as can't activate under the "add to cart" button on the store page you can activate it everywhere :)

Hi, may I join by playing METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES? Other than idling in Faeria and working on a GameMaker project, I really haven't had the time to play anything recently and now that I'm free, I'm looking forward to playing through the SG games I won on Christmas, in particular, MGS.
If that's an issue for some reason, I'm also happy to do Option 2 and create a GA.
Thanks!

Hey, I found myself really enjoying the game and been playing it over in the last few days. I completed all the Missions and Side-Ops on Normal and replayed the main one twice to get an S rating. Really liked how the game is basically this very polished (and beautiful) constrained sandbox environment, allowing (and encouraging) a variety of approaches, from the classic stealth to full-on assault. Further replayability is added by various challenges and collectibles and this is a game that would definitely be fun to try and 100%. Definitely my favorite win here on SG.

Thank you! Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 will indeed be fine. It seems like it has some kind of adventure mode so I guess you can set yourself as the main goal to complete together with giving the rest of the modes a quick try. Let me know once you that :)

Hi ikucufire, sadly games you already have progress in don't count. Since you don't have any other SG win for option 1 you can pick any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library and play that instead. If you decide to do that please let me know which game it is going to be before you start it and set your playtime details on Steam to public. If you don't know how to do that you can find the instructions in the second paragraph here.
