Our little group was born 2 years ago.
During these years Akatsuki and its members have been growing, changing and getting better.
We love giving away great unbundled games and we love to play the games we win.
Over the years many new members joined our group and many have left. So, we think it's time for a new recruitment call.

What's so special about Akatsuki?
Akatsuki is a non-ratio group, based instead on a three-months cycle basis.
For the first two months, members create mandatory monthly gifts.
On the third month, we introduce ways to mitigate the luck/misfortune mechanics, trying to to "help" unlucky members who have won less during the cycle (they won't have to create gifts for this third month) and "asking for more" to lucky members as well (they will have to create more gifts). Also, In order to avoid extreme luck cases, we have limitations to the maximum number of games you can win in a cycle (8 gifts max).

Finally and most importantly, one of our primary goals is seeing people playing the games they get in our group. We do not want that people enter giveaways only to get a +1 in their library, or because they simply like to gamble and no more than that, or to farm cards or similar reasons. We want winners to play (or convincingly try) the games they win!

So, who are we looking for?
Generous people who love to give games away and play the gifts they receive. Plain and simple.

Experienced SteamGifters already know this group and are invited to check our rules here below and see if they would like to apply.
But, have you never been part of a group like this and/or you have never given away good unbundled games but you are willing to?
Well, you can always apply and we will have a chat, trying to see if you are truly made for our little group :-)
In the past we have given nice opportunities to new recruits who are now solid members of Akatsuki!

Well, it's not always so easy, of course. Recently we have had some bad experiences with some users. That's why Admins & Mods & ALL Akatsuki members have decided to create a specific ruleset for new recruits who will be on trial for the first three months. After this period, they will be ordinary members and will follow the standard rulset.

Also, each candidate will be evaluated by the whole group, not just by Admins/Mods.

For this round, recruitment will last for 7 days (and some extra days for evaluations).
Accepted recruits will be added to group on July, when the new cycle will begin.

NB: if no fitting recruits will be found, recruitment will be closed with no additions to the group.

Bump! (for entering the giveaway - waited a bit, so the bump 'is worth it' and not directly after someone commented)

Can remove my entry though (if its only meant for candidates or members?), as I neither got time nor the money for this type of group.

Hi Niko!
it is not really an equal unbundled ratio.
let's say for example that in the first 2 months you win 7 gifts, in the third month you'll have to create only 2 gifts (1 as usual and 1 for being lucky). So, to summarize:
7 gifts won
4 created
and the chance to win another gift in the third month (for a total of 8 gifts)

another example:
the first 2 months you do not win anything:
the total gifts created in the cycle are 2
and the last month for example (if luck is with you) you could win 5 or more

you have me among the friends of steam, contact me if you have other doubts and we will talk better ;)

I would like to ask some questions before I ask to join :)
The post here (rules) and the rules on the links are not the same, so which is right?
When making a GA should it be only for this group or can you add WL/other smaller groups or no?
And if you can't make a GA every month is there a notice like for example "You have x days to make a GA for this group or you will be kicked"?
And last does the game you giveaway have to be unbundled or not? Since the tittle says UNBUNDLED but can't see it mention later :S

P.S. I have been a member of PA since creation (more or less) and sometimes people abuse the games (leave it idle and get 1 achievement that can be gotten in 10 minutes but is hidden-low % of global unlock or get a tool to unlock achievements) and get by without getting kicked so may I ask what do you use to check if the game was rly played?

Rules = general rules for all users
Rules for new recruits = other rules for new recruits (only for the first 3 months), as a precautionary measure

The monthly GA is only for this group, the others extra ga can be shared with other group and WL

I usually do a reminder every month a few days before the deadline, to remember to create the monthly gift.
It's mandatory, so not creating it means being kicked.

Only unbounded games are accepted as a monthly gift (tier 3, humble bundle monthly, etc aren't valid as monthly ga)

We trust most of our current users.
Anyway we do a manual check of achievements, we are few users and therefore this is feasible
In the past we found a user using a program to unlock achievements and we kicked him out of the group.

I think I answered everything, if I forgot something let me know

sorry for my english

Everything is cool unfortunately I will not be able to do unbundled GAs every month since it is a bit above my pay grade (unemployed XD) so good luck with your group and I hope some day I might be able to do those types of GAs on a monthly basis.

Btw your english is good :)

tubers and vegetables are accepted but i'm sorry, in 3 years you have donated 6 gifts, and none would be valid for the current rules of the group.
I don'tt know if you've read the rules, but right now it's definitely not the right group for you.
Thanks for your interest.
