11/01/2013 - Currently running simultaneous consolation event

Hopefully you'll read the first line at least, so know that we no longer take new members, there will be a new topic for our next event's recruitement.

Our first event was a success, and here are some numbers that prove it:

  • 87 members
  • 170+ simultaneous ending quality giveaways (list)
  • 68 members got at least one win (some got 6 simultaneous wins!) (stats)
  • Highest entries giveaway had 74 entries, lowest was with just 2. (stats)

For those 19 that won nothing, we have created a consolation group (which was one of the winner's idea btw) were they get a second chance on more simultaneous ending giveaways (list)

Yes there were some small issues during the process, but I'm certain that the majority of our members enjoyed the event. Thus, there will be another event some time in the future (probably close to a Steam grand Sale). This topic will soon be closed and a new one will be created when it's time to invite those interested. Please don't ask for invites yet.


14/12/2012 - We are live

Aaaand we are live. Please post if you want an invite but make sure you read the following text and group's rules carefully. Viva la synchronization! :P

A bunch of invites have been sent. I may have missed some, either on purpose or by accident. So please reply to your comments if you still want an invite and I haven't contacted you. It's one man's job so be patient.

There are already some quality giveaways created. Here is a teaser. :)

There is a requirement of 150$ contribution value, but if you are close to that and still want to join please state what giveaway you plan to make and we may consider your entry ;)


13/12/2012 - The Idea

Hello SteamGifts forumers, I'd like to share my idea of a group with you and if you like it, then this group will go live.

So the ambitious plan for this group is to have quality giveaways that all end at the same time. Here are some details:

  • No giveaways of bundle listed or exploited games are allowed.
  • All giveaways must end at a specific time (1/1/2013 0:00 UTC/GMT). Check here for your location's time
  • There should be no giveaways of the same game created more than once (multiple copies in a giveaway are ok), so people can't win the same game twice.
  • Every member must create a giveaway until 29th of December 23:59 or they will be kicked from the group and giveaways they may win, will be re-rolled.

This way you may win 3-4 different games at once or win none at all. I have already created the group, but I'll start inviting people only after I see there are people interested in participating. Wouldn't want to end up with a 5 member group. You can check more details about the group here:

So what do you think?

That's a pretty cool idea. I'd do it if you made the group.

I'd suggest changing the kick time to the 24th to avoid sync problems.

That's not a bad idea.

That won't solve anything because those that might be kicked will already have entered giveaways. Only giveaway creators can check manually if their winners are still in the group... :(

Yes, I figured. It would also probably be a problem considering that many would like to gift from the sale.
