Hi Sevenon! You're welcome to join, however please pick a game you did not play before now to use for option one. Let me know. :)

Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
Yes - seeing you have ~275 winnings without achievements yet, shouldn't be that hard to find something worth playing? ;)

Hey there, I'd like to be part of this group if you'll have me :]
I have played all my wins to some extent. Although none of the games have achievements, I can try to describe how much I've experienced of them: Sacrifice Dungeon (1) was truly terrible. I had such a bad time trying to play this "game" that I was inclined to write my first negative review: "Your time is better spent doing other things..." (Forgive me for not being more descriptive of this one but I'd rather not dwell on that experience.) Soldiers of the Universe (2) is an overly ambitious FPS. The cutscenes are really bad at drawing emotion due to dated animations but the textures are detailed and the guns feel good to shoot. Unfortunately the enemies can see you from any distance and they can hit you, so I keep being killed by nearly invisible specks from across the map. Otherwise not a bad game tbh, I might end up taking another whack at it at some point but it is genuinely difficult. Icons: Combat Arena (3) was in closed beta until recently and you could only play during certain times that I didn't know about and/or wasn't able to attend. (It's kind of funny that I won the closed beta key but wasn't able to play it until it until it was F2P.) I just got to try my first few matches and it's pretty easy to pick up since it plays just like Smash Bros. which is my only real experience with fighting games. Very likely I'll pick this up again soon, especially if they release more free characters.
I mainly want to join this group to do a giveaway for two copies of my favorite game, Super Cloudbuilt. Apparently I have a pending request to join but I don't think I ever asked formally, so this is me doing just that! Thanks for considering me and have a great day :]

Hi RobbyRatpoison! You're welcome to join, I hope Super Cloudbuilt will find a good home, looking at the 867 hours you have on the game, it must be good. :) Membership request approved, welcome to the group.

Hey ref. Even though we may have our differences(mainly because you can't see that dogs are indeed better) I would like to join your group.
I believe I played all my wins for at least 5 min, so I would like to support the cause by giving away a game.

Hi Ruaben! You're very welcome to join. ^^ All minority groups are welcome hehe xD Please request to join the group here and I'll approve it at once. I'm curious what contribution you will make. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Keen to join but unfortunately I have only so far won one game, and due to work commitments and a holiday I haven't had time to play it. Otherwise happy to play anything I win and I generally only apply to games I am genuinely interested in.

Hi Expression93! You're welcome to join, playing Citadel: Forged with Fire will do fine, just comment somewhere in the future when you found the time to do so. Hope to see you joining soon. :)

I have played it. :) Intend to do so more when my friend is online. How do I join?
Comment has been collapsed.
You've played it indeed, but not for very long. The main story (or average playtime if you will) is about 10 hours for this game, so we'd like to see a number close to that. Also you didn't unlock any achievements and/or made screenshots. Please be sure to read what we consider "playing" for group winnings in our FAQ to make sure this is the right group for you.
Comment has been collapsed.
The achievements aren't working I don't think, or perhaps it's not recording properly for me. I got cards for it though. I never bother with screenshots as it's just not my thing.
Also, it's an online-only game which I didn't realise when I had applied to the giveaway, so it is something I would only play with friends (and not many of mine have it).
Sorry, but bad choice I guess... hopefully I can get something better in this group though?
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem, you can change the game. Seeing you haven't got more winnings, how about picking an unplayed game from your Steam library instead that has achievements? Please let me know. :)

Hi MrChaluliner! You're welcome to join by giving away something you'd like to see getting played. Membership request approved, I'm curious what it'll be. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm... Unfortunately, neither of the games I've won have achievements, so I'd like to join by option 2, please :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi BeccaBear93! You're welcome to join. Joining via option two is never required, how about joining via option one by playing one of your winnings and snapping a some screenshots of your progress? Please let me know. :)

Hi, I would like to join the group by Option 1.
I just recently joined the site but I was lucky and won the game A Hat in Time so I will be playing that.

Hi Sekian! You're welcome to join, playing A Hat in Time will do fine. :) Please comment again when you've finished it.

I finished the storyline and uploaded some screenshots. Is that enough to be accepted? Anyway I will continue playing because I liked the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey I requested to join the group cause I really liked the idea. If I win any of the GA I will try to finish the game. Hope you accept my request.

Forgot to mention that i would like to join as a player.

Sorry again that I forgot to mention that i will join by option 1 as soon I win a giveway. Thanks for being patient with me, I am new to SteamGifts and as you can see in my acount I'm from Brazil so sorry if I misspell anything.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Pesquizeru! You're welcome to join. You can wait until you win something, but you may also pick a game from your Steam library instead that has achievements to play in this case. E.g. Portal, Just Cause 2 or Insurgency? Please let me know. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey thanks for letting me join, I'll probably try to finish Portal

Questions about joining as a gifter:
Can I keep my Steam profile private? (I'm not planning to enter giveaways.)
The instructions seem to be to create a giveaway for the group and then ask to join. Is this technically possible?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi ET3D! The rule to keep your Steam profile public is something we ask from all members, to keep moderation simple. You could join as guest gifter if you'd like, meaning you'd leave the group after the giveaways you wanted to create have ended. You can do that as often as you'd like. As for the final comment, I've changed "as soon as you get invited" to "as soon as your membership request is approved" now. That should take care of that. ;)

Does the game I'd want to giveaway need to have achievements?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi aRo93! This is not needed, we will approve the game then based on playtime and statistics/leaderboards when available.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice :) I'd love to gift someone a copy of Super Panda Adventures. Really good metroidvania, but not many people know it exists :(
How long should the giveaway be open btw.?
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, membership request approved. :) You can decide how long you want it to be open, I'd recommend 3 days, should give everybody the chance to get on board. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
It's such a great game! I've GA-ed it myself on SG because, just like you, I wanted people to give it a try. It deserves more attention.

I had a suspension today but they put it away as soon as it wasnt my fault.
I wanted to use option 2 as an entry to the group. I ve read how to join section couple times^(
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah happy to read so! :) You're welcome to join via option two, membership request approved.
I'm curious what you'll give away. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
don't know if i'll ever be able to become a real member of PA. or member of any other group has "play your games" as its starting point.
lesson learnt: after a while, you start to see PA giveaways everywhere. ton and tons of SG giveaways start to look as Playing Appreciated, Playing Matters, Play Your Games giveaways.
now, what about... some TGIF!?
per Genova! <3
