Playing Appreciated: Giveaways with the intention for the games to be played within a month

Hi Rulesless, you are welcome to join the group by playing Suicide Guy. Let me know once you beat the game.

Hi, Filipi, you can join us by giving away NITE Team 4, I accepted your request, please make your giveaway as soon as possible and welcome to the group :)

Hi Boomdaddymac6644, sadly Deponia has been played too much already before you applied to join to count for a join application game. Since you have already played all your wins you can pick any unplayed games with achievements from your Steam library instead and play that for option 1 (you just need to let me know the name of the game before you start).

Hi ChiefGooley

You can find the answer for most of your questions in the FAQ, but in any case I'll answer them here as well with some examples

If a user wins a game, is there a minimum threshold of how far they need to progress in a game? How exactly is this measured?

There's not an standar for all games, cause there's some games that lacks on some information, in those cases we do 50/50 based on the group tool that uses several Steam APIs so we can check how much an user have played, how many achievements and, if applicable, we also compare statistics that some games have, for example the game Magicat tracks an accumulative of the points of all the levels, with this I can determine very precisely how many levels (and even which ones) the user played, so we compare this data with either our experiences if we already played the game (which we indeed used on some giveaways in the past) or with the information we get from AStats, HLTB, Completionist.me, SteamSpy, and Steam itself, if the data looks good, we approve it

Does the user need to unlock all achievements for it to count? Do they need to spend a certain amount of time in game? Both? How is this determined?

Isn't neccesary to get all achievements, we don't want to force the users to complete a game they don't like, but we want our user to at least give their wins a decent try, so we check both, the minimum of approval if applicable it's at least half of the hours to beat the game (main story) and also get a considerable amount of achievements that have a ratio of 60% and above, we determine this with the tools I told you above

Also, what about games that lack achievements that are very long, like Muv-Luv Alternative. How do you decide the playtime is enough?

In those cases would be good (but not mandatory) if the user upload some screenshots, so we can check how far the user have advanced, we also check for averages on steam and if applicable, statistics

Regarding to your application, I have to ask you to set your profile to public, either way we will not be able to determine if you play any of your wins

Hi IamBackbrow

Sure option 1 will do fine, which game would you like to play?

Hi ezovic

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek will do fine, I approved your request, please make your giveaway as soon as possible and welcome to the group :)

I am really sorry, there was a misunderstood while I was checking something, I'll leave your apply to Mouse

Hi c3powa, I am sorry, there has been a mistake. You are welcome to join the group with option 2. Since your join request on Steam has been rejected by NoSenses already, I sent you a friend request so I can invite you directly to the group.

Hi TinyLuther, you are welcome to join the group by giving away a game for option 2. Join request approved, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as possible.

You can find our FAQ here and our website where the giveaway progress gets tracked here.

Hi iubjaved, you still have 2 wins that aren't approved yet, SpaceMerc and Razenroth, once you play those games you are welcome to join the group again

Hi PhantonGuilterio, you have some balls to try to ask to rejoin the group after being banned form it. The answer is no.

Hi alayersoffe, you're welcome to join the group, but before, I have to ask you to set your profile data to public, or we will not be able to check if you play your wins, also Flame in the flood was been given away for free before, so it doesn't qualify for your application giveaway, you will have to choose another, you can check if the game does have two stars while creating a new giveaway, if it does, we cannot accept that one for your entry

Oh sorry, I crossed cables, I was thinking about a giveaway, yes you can play Flame in the flood, but you need to change your data to public anyway

Hi Ennas, you're welcome to join the group using option 1, which game would you like to play?

Hi Msshll, you're welcome to join the group by playing The Escapists 2, tell us once you beat the game
