Can i play this: Alwa's Legacy
No. The option to play any unplayed game from your library only works for people who haven't won anything yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Then i will play this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/980830/Spirit_Hunter_Death_Mark/ The game i recently have won. Is it suitable ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Has achievement ✔️
Not too short ✔️
No playtime as of now ✔️
Looks good. But I'm no moderator in this group so please wait for MouseWithBeer to give you the OK before you start playing 😉

Hi Themnish, as Sundance85 already stated that is not how it works. If you didn't want to play them you shouldn't have entered for them and let someone else who hopefully would win it. It also doesn't work as an excuse for any group wins you might win it in as it is on the winner to make sure they only enter for games they want to play. And failing to do so will result in being kicked from the group.
Anyways Spirit Hunter: Death Mark will do fine. Let me know when you beat it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Considering chapter 6 seems to be part of the base game now I would say that it needs to be beaten for the game to be considered beaten, but since I see you did indeed finished it by now its all good. Join request approved, welcome to the group!

Hi, Id like to join, cant really use the first options since my last won giveaway was 7 years ago lol
But id create a giveaway for mount and blade warband, was the first game i actually used mods one and have over 500 hours ( off steam) on it!

Hi ZickZack, I fall to see why you would be unable to play wins from 5+ years ago. From a 15 second look I can see at least 3 games that would have worked just fine as option 1.
Regardless you can join with option 2 no problem. Join request approved, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as you can.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, I'd like to apply using Option 1.
The game that I would be playing is HUE which I won a week ago here. The game has 13 achievements and a main story completion time of 4.5 hours according to HLTB. I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I'll start once I get conformation for my entry request.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have games to give that I want people to actually play. Most the games I have given haven't been touched by the person who won. I also need to play some of the games that I have won as some I haven't started yet, but maybe this will give me some motivation to :D

Hi Gooseesoog, if you would like to join the group you are going to have to tell me which option you would like to use :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, would like to join with Option 1.
I've actually played the 3 games I've won so far and beat them already since receiving them. Silent Hill Homecoming didn't have achievements. Lego Movie is missing ones for going 100% completion. Dishonored I had played before on PS3 so only did the DLCs, was sill 7+hr gameplay but could redo the main game, it's always fun with those games.
Well, thanks for the response. Let me know if I need to do anything else.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi blalilulelo, to join with option 1 you have to play a game you haven't played yet after you apply to join so none of that counts sorry (tho it is very nice to see!). Since you don't have any other wins your options to join are:
1) Joining by making a giveaway (option 2)
2) Pick any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library and play that instead (you need to let me know what game before you start playing it)
3) Wait till you win something and play that (you need to let me know before you start playing it)
Let me know what you would prefer.

While it is not written as a rule per see when you join it says:
Make sure you are not violating any SteamGifts rules;
While I don't run constant checks on people because that would be ridiculous, I just by chance saw that you got suspended not once, not twice but 3 times (could be more that I wouldn't even know) while a member of the group. If you don't know how to behave on the site you are not someone I want to have in the group.
Comment has been collapsed.
If the group had political restrictions you would have been kicked out ages ago don't you think?
Its about acting like a decent human being on the site, which ... well I won't say anything and I will let your "undeserved" suspensions speak for themselves.
Comment has been collapsed.
As I wrote temporary suspensions are not related to my decency. I doubt very much that you personally followed me all last year, suspect someone clearly told you about my successes. This someone is clearly a "terribly decent" person. =)
Ouh my memory, that your decency is pretty unclear. We already talked about your misleading to users in your group, it was 2 months ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
May I join? I have big backlog - your group would be a motivation to play what I won :)
Second - I have some games I wanted to GA from recent bundles - I love your rules as winners suppose to .. play them :)
I'm going with option 2) if that' ok. Let me know if you want me on board.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure where to ask so, I will do it here. As I have question about two games I won.
1) Image - I've just played it and completed. Sadly I didn't get any achievements (I still don't know why). I can try to copy paste my saves but I don't want to cause some weird issues. I've got screenshot after placing 5th artifact. I've even faced system bug with 3rd artifact and re-played this part. What should I do in such case?
2) DLC for XCOM2 - I don't know how to "progress" with this one. Also this DLC adds new campaigns. What should I do in this case? Force myself to play it or just play XCOM2 and progress slowly? I really started to like this game but rushing to DLC without base is pointless.
Sorry the trouble MouseWithBeer :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi pawelt, sorry for the late answer. Anywhere where I get a notification about it is fine :)
1) If there is something wrong with the game achievements uploading a bunch of screenshot is usually fine. Since you already done that I have approved your playtime.
2) When it comes to DLC only giveaway I am generally not too picky. You can either play base game (especially if you haven't played the game yet) or DLC. Since you already played the base game for 5 hours I have approved your playtime on that one as well.

Hey, this sounds like a great group and like a lot of fun. I just won my second game on this site in a giveaway and I haven't started it yet (halfway through my first win), was about to, but I got invited to another group, and started looking around at what are these groups that people join, and this one especially sounded great. So, if I would be allowed to join, I would play through and beat Lucius, the game I just won (only one I have not yet played).
I have some questions though, if that is okay.
One question is such: I am also participating in the "March is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month - Shoot the Moon" thread, where I am playing through my first giveaway win. I was wondering, if I could also put Lucius (my second win) there as well, if I play through it for this group. I find that thread fun, and it is fun to participate with everyone playing their wins, but if I have to play this game exclusively for this group, and I can't also add it to that thread, that is okay as well, and I respect either way.
The other question is about in general, what are the expectations in terms of ratio, or number of giveaways you hold, or those kind of rules as in many other groups (I didn't see anything about this in the FAQ), or it is it primarily based on the fact that you have to play through any game you win? And for example, if I was to not be active on Steam Gifts for a month or so, is that fine for this group (as long as I don't enter giveaways/ don't have unplayed wins)?
Looking forward to Your response, and Thank You for Your consideration! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
One question is such
As long as the game fit the theme for month - you can submit it to PAGYWOSG. Even if this game is used in other events (like Play or Pay or Monthly in a Month). There is no rule preventing you from doing so (nor in PA, nor in PAGYWOSG).
The other question
There is no rules for give/take ratio in the group. As long as you follow other rules and you play your wins within the group - you are fine.S ame is if you won't be active - that is ok as long as you played your wins and haven't broke any other rules (please note, that one of the group's rule is not to brake SG rules and guidelines).
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank You for the answers! :)
However, for if it is okay to go ahead with playing through "Lucius", I still have to wait for a confirmation by
MouseWithBeer, is that right?
Comment has been collapsed.
I will quote one of her previous replies to alike question:
MouseWithBeer
It is actually alright to start playing before my confirmation (as long as it wasn't also played before the comment was made), but they just risk to run into the fact that I might say either "no, change the game" or "no, you cant join" and the playtime was in vain. But games should be played nor horded anyways so I guess even that situation is not too bad :D

Hola!! I would like to join the group with option 2 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, I would like to join with option 2, to give away https://store.steampowered.com/app/597820/BIOMUTANT/
I have several games left to give away and I always appreciate it when people play the games. Used to give away games on reddit before discovering steamgifts.
Recently I also played Ticket to ride I won on a giveaway https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ZufXL/ticket-to-ride
Clicked to join the steam group before commenting, would be cool to join.

Hi! Deliberately finding time to play the games that I own is always in my mind. This group would help with setting my focus on a game I'd like to play every once in a while. As soon as I enter the group I'll take option 2, to give away a key for Monaco, a game that's rather undervalued in the giveaway/trading scene, but that's actually a wonderful game to play, and would be great to bring to someone who will actually play and enjoy it.

Hi Yekhus, you are welcome to join with option 2. Join request approved, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as you can :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Yekhus, looks like your giveaway finished with no one entering for it. For a giveaway to be counted as successful for option 2 it needs to have a valid winner. You have 3 options now:
1) remake the giveaway and try once more if someone will enter (I would much prefer if you didn't pick this option considering it was long enough and not region or level restricted. I can't imagine it will get any entries the 2nd time around, it is just a game most people already have).
2) make a giveaway for a different game
3) play a game you have won and therefore use option 1 instead.
Please let me know what you pick as soon as possible.

The new one already has 2 entries so I think this one shouldn't be a problem! Thank you very much for the new giveaway!

You fail on the first step on how to join list:
Make sure you are not violating any SteamGifts rules;

Yes. I would suggest reading the guidelines/FAQ and make sure you follow everything listed here, especially under the winning part.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for the possible stupidity, but I really don't understand.
I've already looked at guideline and the FAQ twice already and still don't get it. After all I'm not banned on the SG, I still can create give aways and can easily enter the GA. So I'm not violating something critical. So this is easy to fix, help me figure out what it is.
Why these tortures? :)

You did not activate one of your wins. That will disqualify you for many groups.

I want to apologize for the wasted time. In my defense, I'll say that in those days I was an idiot, and after the first warning I took the right path on the site. But apparently it's fair that a person with a stigma should be responsible for his actions until the end (like VAC-ban?). No exceptions.
Sorry again. Especially for the fact that the first thing I thought was that it was about politics. I think in some ways I'm still an idiot XD

Hello, I've finished the main storyline, it took me quite a while :)

Is this enough to count as completing the game? Because there is also "Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear" DLC, but it is not included in the version of the game that I won - it must be bought separately...
Comment has been collapsed.
It counts as beating the game (completed would be 100% achievements), but that is enough. The reason why you didn't get an answer yet wasn't because it wasn't played enough, but because simply I didn't get around to checking my messages yet.
Please request to join the group on Steam here and I will approve it as soon as I see it.

Hi Krav22,
Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play.
So Survival Academy doesn't count.

Generally there is another option to play something from your steam library instead, but considering just how new your account is I would prefer if you waited for a new win :) You just need to let me know before you start playing it.

Comment has been collapsed.
what rules have i broken!?!?!?!?!?! /gen
I've always redeemed all the games i won, except for one time where i won 2 giveaways that were the same game, and didn't properly contact the host because i didn't know how to go about that, but that was cleared up with support and the hosts like 7 years ago
Comment has been collapsed.
So you never broke the rules except when you broke the rules? lol
Well I don't think it was cleared up very well considering it still shows up as a multiple win and that exactly why you can not join.
Comment has been collapsed.
if it was Dwarfs!?, the first one i won was an alpha-test that has the same appID it seems.
I won this:https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ssqw2/dwarfs-quest-for-the-gauntlet
and this:https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Kww55/dwarfs
multiple years apart, and the original keys were revoked after the test. I had re-synced, i didn't violate any rules.

I mean, suspensions for multiple wins are not permanent so ofc you were "un-suspended". But considering you still have it show up as a multiple win (if it was sorted completely properly it wouldn't show) you can't join this group and will likely have problems with other groups that have "no SG rules broken" rule.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wasn't using the site back than so I can not comment on that, I just know for the past 6 years they definitely are not. But yea, this is a closed case.
Comment has been collapsed.
While i appreciate the rule in general, in very very very rare cases it seems a bit to harsh.
Of course you do not have the time and should not be forced to check everyone by a case by case basis.
But looking at neocows multiwins it was for a DLC and both of them where public (lvl. 0 and 1) and had exactly one entry, only him. So neocow kinda autowon both and a reroll was out of the room. In this case it was not like he "took" the win of someone who wanted it. And it also happend at a time when SG did not removed your entry auomatically from other GA of the same app when you won it and a delivered key was instantly shown without the Gifter to be sure if it was still unseen.
Not defending anyone nor do i want to influence your decision process.
Just my two cents on this very special rule breaking case.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say that you have a good point if the situation wouldn't be fixable from their end. But considering not just one, but both of the GA creators are still active there is a very good chance they could make it right and solve it properly. But you need to actually want to do that so, yea, I am standing by my decision here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Deleted and remade account. SG might forget, but PA website remembers all group wins :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, especially since their previous account had way more than 7 wins. Makes you really wonder why the account was deleted in the first place and it is why I am against letting people delete and remake their accounts with 0 consequences.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Kerrywen,
normally I would say that yes, once you play the game you can rejoin. But looking at your old SG account it seems like that a bunch of your previous wins (including a PA group win mind you...) is not activated on your account anymore so for that reason it is going to be a no from me.
Also, I have been playing it a bit now but the website doesn't update it, not sure if it's because I'm not in the group.
Website stops updating automatically 50 days after the game has won. After that all updates needs to be done manually.

Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements.
The how to join section clearly states that the game must not have been played yet and it needs to have achievements. If you can't pick a game that follows those 2 requirements I can't help you.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you delve into this question, then Watch Dogs 2 has achievements, but not on Steam, but on Ubisoft. The first game I chose was Star End. I am her
downloaded and started playing after I left a comment that I would start playing this particular game.
Comment has been collapsed.
It explained to you why I am not accepting Stars End already and the achievements have to be on Steam. I can't see your Ubisoft ones so it doesn't help me. You can either pick a game that fits the requirements or I am afraid this is not gonna work out.
