People of Steamgifts! It has come to my attention that here on Steamgifts exist people who do not win any games!

Well okay, that's normal you may say and sure I am okay with people not winning. It is a lottery after all. But the people I am speaking about are making giveaway for other people, they are contributing. And then they are not only not winning something on their own, they are not even trying, never having entered a single giveaway.

This is unacceptable! You ask why? Because it is a statistician's nightmare. All the ratios you normally form? Not possible:

  • Made Giveaways/Won Giveaways? Divided by 0. Boom!
  • Comments in Threads starting with "Z"/Entered Giveaways? Another universe destroyed.
  • Won Giveaways/Entered Giveaway? Great, life as we know it just stopped existing.

Therefore, I demand that our Admin forces all people with 0 Entered Giveaways (after reaching Contributor Level of 5 or higher) not only to enter one random giveaway but to also win it. All so that statistician's can sleep sound at night!

Welp okay, the dumb premise away. Apparently, I am already more than 9 years at Steamgifts although I have hardly done anything the last four years. I remember times when Jeff made gigantic puzzle pyramids. And times I was motivated to do puzzles myself. But then I got older and ..... actually I still have lots of time. I am just very, very lazy.

But well, at least I am still training regularly - although not having repeated my Sportabzeichen, partially because of Corona. And have made some fun maps for an old Apogee game. Also, got a girlfriend. So that's that. And yea, work is mostly good too. So, I am still lazy but somehow still making progress.

Anyway, maybe if you get up anyway and look around, you might find something. Although you might want to check the needed levels before.

Shall people with a certain Contributor Level be forced to enter and win at least one giveaway?

Yes! Statisticians are people too and you shouldn't hurt their feelings.
No! They knew what awaited them when they've chosen the dark side of empirical math.

🤔⛰Mountains of Madness🛌🇦🇶

I think there is a portal to them sometimes in the bed.

And I believe that those who seek victory and glory also dive through these portals and abandon reason for the "dazzle".
(My space translator is not working well today...)

PS As I recall from the lottery, I still haven't won any lottery tickets, which I have been buying one every week since I was in a car accident.

It is unbelievable, but it is reality.
(Except for the one I bought separately for a FIFA event.)

If people don`t want to win games, its their decision. Stop worry about them (and about statistics too, yes).

There was a time when this was popular response to people complaining about lack of wins.

I wonder if I should edit the image so it is not calling out ;)

Ah, I remember those good times, it was right after WW2. If I remember right, a GA (maybe some GAs) was made to remedy this, with just Khalaq and one other user -- and the other user won anyway. :D

But eventually the remedy worked -- Khalaq's first win was a Skyrim from an invite-only GA with 2 people. And there was much rejoicing.

Cheers!
