Hi, I won a game "Calico" that also includes this group but I am not a member yet. I will still play it in a month but is it possible for me to request to join this group via Option 1? Thanks!

Hi Mertcan, you are welcome to join with option 1, but I just want to clarify to make sure: you want to use Calico for option 1?

Thanks, yes I will play the game anyway. So if it is a fitting game for you I would like to choose Calico for option 1.

Hi TMMIMITW, you do actually have a win that you could play, however due to other reasons I have decided against letting you join, sorry.

Looking at your profile raised multiple red flags for me, that is as much as I am willing to elaborate in the comments here.
Comment has been collapsed.
how can looking at my profile raise multiple red flags, not even just one?
all you can see on my profile is that i have been using this website for 4 weeks and that's pretty much it.
if you wanna talk privately i can talk to you on discord or steam or something because what you're saying is making me extremely uncomfortable and making me look like a supervillain or an evil person trying to scam others.
i honestly don't care about the giveaway anymore, you can add me to your blacklist but the condition is you talk to me first to clarify things because you're making me look like a bad person on public when i have done nothing wrong to you or to anyone or acting suspicious.
i literally wasn't even asking to join now and was just writing a compliment to you about the idea...
and yes i know this sounds like i'm overreacting but due to personal past life experiences this really hits a nerve.

I am not talking about your SG profile, I am talking about your Steam profile. I been running this group for 4-5 years now, after a while you learn patterns as to what people cause trouble and what people manage to follow rules without any problems. And as stated your profile raised multiple red flags for me for the first group of people. And I am not gonna say what those are publicly for obvious "I don't want people to try to cover those up" reasons.
something because what you're saying is making me extremely uncomfortable and making me look like a supervillain or an evil person trying to scam others.
I am not saying either of those things. All I said is your profile is raising red flags for me for being a member of this group, I didn't say you actually did anything bad. I am just not comfortable letting you join the group due to that, I dont have any other issues with you.
you can add me to your blacklist but the condition is you talk to me first to clarify things
I have 0 plans to bl you and I have nothing against you, but sorry, you don't get to make demands what I should do.
and yes i know this sounds like i'm overreacting but due to personal past life experiences this really hits a nerve.
Yea, you kinda are. Once again I didn't actually accused you of doing anything, I just said your profile raises red flags for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, first of all sorry about overreacting, but like i said i just had very bad toxic experiences in the past in my personal life that lasted for years and your answer sounded like something they'd say, which i know is not your fault.
imagine writing a compliment to someone and going to sleep then wake up to them saying sorry it has nothing to do with the games it's just you.
for the red flags all you can see on my profile is me idling 11 games which is not against the rules and me owning some games that i havent played which can be both explained.
all else i see is some kids i met in valorant making sex jokes and the racist guy giving me a jester profile award.
and non of them sound like "patterns as to what people cause trouble".
anyway, have a nice day since you probably wont give any more details because you " don't want people to try to cover those up"

Hi NecxGen, since you don't have any wins you can pick any unplayed game with achievements (you just need to tell me which one before you start playing it) from your Steam library and play that instead if you prefer? Either option is fine by me, but I just wanted to let you know you have that option as well so you can decide properly :) Let me know what you decide!

Hi vinroy7, you do not fullfill the join requirements and are therefore not welcome to join.
Comment has been collapsed.
I assume the reason why is because of the games from 7 years ago when I was in middle school that I never played.
I took a re-read through the rules and it is probably the activation thing that is preventing me from being accepted into the group. Is there a possible way of somehow seeing the keys from that long ago? It would be really disheartening if mistakes from that long ago is preventing me from being able to join groups once I actually became serious about the website...
Comment has been collapsed.
You appear to have some unactivated wins, maybe you just deleted them from your Steam account and forgot about it?
Comment has been collapsed.
How would I be able to fix this? I was very immature and silly back in the days, so I didn't consider the influence this would have on my account in the future.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will probably just buy the games and activate them in my account since the issue I have here is that I simply lost the keys from that long ago.
Thank you so much on helping me find a fix for this! It has been preventing me from doing a lot of things on the forum section of this website regarding groups and other giveaways, so it was very disheartening. I really appreciate the help :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you from me as well for responding and helping them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Before you go buy them check here if they are maybe still visible and you can activate them. Otherwise your only option is to buy the games yes. I already declined your join request on Steam, but if you do fix this up you can still join the group. So if/when you do it give me a headsup and I will check if everything else looks good to me and then send you a friend request to invite you to the group.
Comment has been collapsed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was able to activate 2 games from those giveaways I never activated, and I just bought the last missing one on Steam. I should be good to go now, but sorry about how suspicious that may have looked.
Comment has been collapsed.
That was quick! All look activated now, glad you got it sorted it out! And I have done the rest of my checks and all looks good to me! I assume you still wanna do option 2?

Sorry for the late response! Could you please upload a couple of screenshots showing you have completed the game? Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem MouseWithBeer! I wanted to upload lots of images of interesting game characters during my play but "Steam Overlay" doesn't work inside this game. I think it's because of their game-launcher but i'm not entirely sure, it's the first game i have seen this issue. Had to use ALT + TAB every time a friend wrote something and Steams ingame screenshot didn't register either. I did managed to get screenshots with the regular "Print screen" button on the keyboard and paste into Paint, but later found out that steam doesn't allow uploads from desktop? :O
Do you want me to upload screenshots somewhere else or do you know another solution to this that i'm not yet aware of? Thanks!
Edit:
Here's the last thing you see in the game after the final cutscene

You can actually do it, you just need to save the screenshot in the correct folder (same folder when the game would normally save screenshots in) and then you can use the image uploader from Steam like you would normally to upload them.
But the screenshot you uploaded is even better than normal image screenshots so all good! Thank you for that :)

Hello, I would be interested in joining the group, my account is really recent and I'm still figuring things out, so I would understand if you prefer not having me on board until I get a bit more experience and give away a bit more games on the plateform.
Otherwise I don't mind either option :
In any case have a good day and I hope you don't mind me trying again later if the current state of my account is not quite satisfactory.
Thank you for managing this anyhow !
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Izhuark, sorry for the late response! Being new is not a problem in your case at all. Either option is fine by me so please just pick one of them (I know you said option 2 is preferable, but I would just like a proper confirmation that it is what you will use if you don't mind) and let me know which one it is and we shall continue on from there.
Also if you have any questions about PA or SG in general feel free to ask :) And have a good day yourself!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, it's okay, I've been a bit busy anyway.
I actually would prefer option 1, would Monster Sanctuary be okay for it ? ^^
(I will probably still gift minoria eventually once I join, but taking option 1 right now will encourage me to play a game from my backlog and play more efficiently for to fit the criterias of this group.)
I don't have any question right now, but I won't hesitate to ask if I think of anything.
Thanks a lot and good day once more !

Playing Monster Sanctuary will do just fine! I hope you enjoy it and let me know once you finish the game :)
Thank you, you too!

Hello, I took a bit of time but I finished the game, I had a lot of fun with it. Got sidetracked because of side content, holiday/new year stuff and other games but I guess it should be alright. ^^

Congrats on beating the game! Glad to hear you had fun with it :) Please request to join the group on Steam here and I will approve it as soon as I see it :)
On a completely side note looks like you got hit by the same weird bug a fellow group admin had in November on one of his games where the achievement unlocked (the "Illusionist" one for you, completely different game for him so not game related) but there is no unlock date associated with it. Do you recall anything weird/odd/unusual happening around the time it unlocked or anything worth of note? This is completely unrelated to joining the group, but I would just love to know what might be causing this particular issue because Steam support wasn't of any use and it is an extremely weird.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. I have sent the request. ^^
Interesting, that's weird indeed. I can't really help you sadly, it has been more than three weeks so I don't remember any details. What I can say is that it was the last achievement I got during that play session (the two other show correctly) and that it still shows up correctly when I look at my achievement from the steam app achivements recap (as opposed as looking at my achievement page). As for what might have caused it, I think I might have closed the game soon after getting the achievement, maybe ? I can't really be sure though... I'm pretty sure there wasn't any game bug at that point.

and that it still shows up correctly when I look at my achievement from the steam app achivements recap (as opposed as looking at my achievement page).
Yep, was exact same situation with the other group admin as well if I remember correctly. It is really really weird.
As for what might have caused it, I think I might have closed the game soon after getting the achievement, maybe ?
I can't imagine that would cause it unless you would have actually closed the game right at the exact moment you got the achievement.
But thank you very much for answering my question and providing the idea you got. It was more of a shot in the dark in case there was something memorable about it as I am really curious as this is only the 2nd time I ever see something like that happen (tho there is some rare reports of it happening in the past).
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, I'm very new to this part of SG, so, could you explain to me if I could join with Option 1 if I didn't win anything yet here? I have many games that I didn't play yet (mostly just idle time and gaven for free across the years, some of them just were not my priority, etc) at my library. Please, feel free to take a look at my profile, I'll wait for an answer to understand how this works. In advance, thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi andyosbourne, sorry for the late response. Yes, you can indeed join the group with option 1 without having won anything. You can pick any unplayed (idle time is fine) game with achievements and play that instead. You just need to let me know which game it is going to be in a reply before you start playing it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice, I'll have a look at my library and put some options here

Looks like you have actually won your first giveaway (congrats!) since the original comment, so preferably that should be the game you pick :)

You should have confirmed to me that you are going to play the game. But since it is not like you have any other wins you could have played I will accept it. Join request approved, welcome to the group!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh, I'm so sorry, I thought it was implicit since I won The Fall and, until now, it was the only one. Thanks for accepting me, anyway! =D
I forgot to upload some screenshots to my gallery, do you want me to do it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well a confirmation of "yep, gonna play that" would have been nice, but it really doesn't matter in the end of the day and I am not gonna be annoying over it.
And nope, all good! While option 1 states you should upload them I will only specifically ask for them if something doesn't quite look right to me (tho they are always super welcome to be uploaded) and all looked good to me in your case :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Gi0rdan0, since you haven't won any game on SG yet you can use any any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library instead. You just need to let me know what that game is before you start playing it (my making a new comment, not editing a previous one as if you just edit it I don't get a notification and therefore can't approve the game as appropriate to play to join the group with it).

Hi DeGTb, you are welcome to join with option 2. While region locked giveaways are perfectly fine please note the giveaway you make to join with option 2 needs to have a winner.

Hi xkingpin, you are welcome to join by playing Ryse: Son of Rome(note: 2 hours of idle time). Let me know once you beat the game!
Comment has been collapsed.
Very sorry for the late response. This one proved quite a challenge for me to figure out how exactly to respond. But I think I do have a proper answer now:
You are not really supposed to play the game in offline mode (which I assume what happened here with the Steam Deck because a lot of things are off). This is only mentioned in the group FAQ and not in the main post (I will fix that now to make it clear) so I can not blame you for playing in offline mode at all. So I would still like to accept your playtime for Ryse: Son of Rome and let you join the group. However before I do that I would like to ask for 2 things:
From FAQ:
\14. Can I play using offline mode?
No. Playing in offline mode prevents us to see the real amount of playtime a player has accumulated. Sometimes Steam goes down or the internet disconnects randomly and that is fine, it is not something that can be controlled and won't be held against you. Just don't intentionally play in offline mode.
Once again my apology for the late response and sorry for the inconvenience.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Mouse,
You're right, I didn't catch that in the FAQ/rules. Sorry about that and I see why you have that rule now. I played my SteamDeck when I was away from home and pretty much exclusively played the game like that. Now that I understand the rules, I agree to them and won't be offline during playtime if I am to win any of the games from the group. I also uploaded the screenshot of what happens when I click the achievements option in the game, it just opens the steam overlay with the achievements open.

Don't worry, it should have been made clear in the main post as well. It just hasn't really been an issue where someone played pretty much almost the whole game offline before so I never even thought about it.
I also uploaded the screenshot of what happens when I click the achievements option in the game, it just opens the steam overlay with the achievements open.
Ah it is one of those games that just does that. I appreciate you trying at least :)

Hi dorkknight, I took a look and it seems like you do actually have a win that qualifies: The Showdown Effect. Let me know if you would like to join playing that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that's multiplayer only, so I thought it wouldn't be a good game to do. It's delisted but I could still earn achievements, though it may be very difficult to get a game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah fair, I didn't actually look into the game past you not having any achievements in it and the time HLTB claims for main story. Looking at the achievements now it doesn't seem to actually have any campaign/story/proper progression ones so it would be hard to judge what would count as "beaten" anyways.
Since the other 2 games (for the DLC I am looking at the base game) don't qualify either as they have been played you have 3 options:
Let me know what you would prefer :)

Had a connection problem so was playing offline and when the connection got fixed steam uploaded all achievements of it at the same time
since I'm planning on doing 100% on it, in the next few hours i beat NG+ and don difficulty achievement as well, you can wait for that if there is any doubt
Comment has been collapsed.
Apologies for the late response.
I assumed that might be the case, but I still wanted to make sure and thats why I would like to still request screenshot proof anyways (from what I seen it should be pretty easy to prove it was beaten from the main menu itself and that is good enough for me) even if I saw that by now you did actually complete it. I hope you understand I just wanna be thorough when checking applications as we had problems with people cheating in the past and it is nothing personal. Also please request to join the group on Steam so I can approve it once you upload the screenshot.
As for playing offline please note point 14. "Can I play using offline mode?" from the group FAQ once you become a member of the group.

Hi there! I would like to join. Unfortunately I didn't notice this post until after I started the play a game you won challenge for January with my only unplayed and trackable win, so I don't think I have any games that qualify for Option 1. I would be willing to join with Option 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Wit, since you don't have any wins that you can use to join with option 1 you can instead pick any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library and play that instead (you just need to let me know which game before you start playing it). Or you can stick with option 2 if you wish. Either one is fine by me, just let me know which one you would prefer :)
