Hi, i would like to join the group. I have just won Cat Quest a few days ago and i already played it for 2,9h but did not earn any achievements yet. Not sure if that counts but anyway i have a key for Payday 2 i would like to give away to the group, if anything is wrong with my request or anything else, please just let me know.

Hi NoctisAventura, if you would like to join please put your game details to public first (the main post has a screenshot that shows how they are supposed to be set).

Oh I'm sorry i thought i had everything on public but i just noticed that my playtime was set to invisible. Anyway i just changed that now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for the late response. Sadly Cat Quest is not going to work as it has been played before you commented here, but giving away Payday 2 will be fine. I have accepted your join request under option 2. Please make the giveaway as soon as you can and welcome to the group!

Hey, I also want to apply for group signing with option 1.

So I was kicked from the group for not finishing Sunblaze. I failed because this game is fucking brutal and I am a shitter. Just wanted to let you know and say goodbye properly, since I had no opportunity earlier. If not you guys, I would never play such amazing games as Yakuza 0 and Styx. Thanks for everything (✿^‿^)

Couldn't you let the GA creator know beforehand that the game brought you to your limits and due to the difficulty you couldn't get further? I don't know how the rules handle that tbh, but it's kinda sad to see an otherwise good member leave because of that :/

Yeah, I'm just stupid, should have told about my problems right away, but got tricked by playing score on the site... (・﹏・)

Hi buterbrodinka, you were not expected to finish it, but generally a bit more progress than what you had was expected. If you did reply in time to my warning in time we could have discussed the issue with progressing, but I also can't wait for an answer forever. However you still have the ability to rejoin one more time by either finishing chapter 3 or giving me a rundown as to where you got suck/what is the issue and then we see from there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi! Well, beating chapter 3? No chance. I got filtered by 3-43 so hard, it's not even funny. I am never gonna make it, shit's getting harder and harder. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1785135165623731364/95223659978F01782A98683FDD2FB597F8116E98/ Game has build-in cheats, but they block achievements on current version. Thanks for the opportunity anyway. Btw, I am not an asshole, I login like once per few months, so just didn't see the warning. (╥﹏╥)

Hi, I would love to join. I guess I have to go for option 2 since I never won anything yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi RaspberryTrifle, since you never won anything on SG you can also pick any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library and play that instead for option 1 if you prefer that? Otherwise option 2 is fine as well. Let me know what you decide :)

I will stick to option 2. I have a copy of Monaco I would like to gift to someone who has the time for it, if that is okay
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, it is perfectly okay. I just wanted you to be aware that you can pick option 1 too. I have accepted your join request, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as you can. Since you are new to SG let me know if you need any help or have any questions setting the giveaway up :)

Hi, I would like to reapply for PA. I've chosen to play on my side time: A Plague Tale: Innocence and willing to Little Big Workshop and Model Builder to the PA community as a sorry for playing my last win to late.

Hi sinscerly, since you played your overdue win already you can rejoin the group once more. Please note once again that if you don't play your win in time once again you will be permanently banned from the group. I have sent you a join request.

Another time, thank you. I was succesfull to join.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd like to join this group! Via option 1. I've only won one game, Shapez, which is an endless game. I've been wanting to join this group since I heard about it a long time ago, so I got a little ahead of myself and started playing it today without remembering to post a comment! Hope it still counts! Since I can't beat the game I was planning on making the achievement 'Can't stop' (Reach level 50) the goal. If you want any other achievement let me know! Otherwise I will wait till I win another, but with my luck it might take a year or two haha
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi UnluckyKat, I am sorry, but Shapez is not going to work as like you said you have started playing it before you commented here. Sorry about that. However you do have 2 other options that don't involve waiting for your next win:
1) Joining with option 2
2) Picking any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library and playing that instead. You just need to let me know what game before you start playing it.
Let me know if either of those possibilities work for you :)

Alright, Rusty Lake Hotel will do. Enjoy and let me know when you beat it :)

Som MWB siger kan du også joine med et af dine andre spil du ikke har spillet endnu, bare du fortælle hende det, inden du går igang så hun kan holde øje med processen :) Hvis du mangler en ide så kan jeg anbefale Highway Blossoms (det er en god fortælling) men kan se du ellers også har andre spændende spil :) og undskyld jeg blander mig, men jeg så lige at du er dansk ^-^

Hi zulu6x, I am afraid giving away Shapez wont work for the following reason quoted from the main post:
The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
Sorry! You can either:
- pick a different game that fits the criteria to give away
or
- pick and play any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library join with option 1 (you just need to let me know which game before you start playing it).
Let me know what you prefer!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I wasn't aware Shapez was given away for free. I just had it left over from a Humble.
I'm fine with playing a game with achievements but I haven't won any game from here yet so ...?
Edit after NazaSekh's clarification: I feel I'd enjoy playing The Walking Dead: Michonne right now :)
Comment has been collapsed.
from your Steam library
Since you still haven't won anything here, you can simply choose a game from your Steam library that you haven't played yet. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea I was surprised when I saw it as well, never seen it given away for free.
Alright, let me know when you beat The Walking Dead: Michonne then :)

Hi dima3339, you are welcome to join but before I accept the request I would like to know which game you are planing to give away?
Comment has been collapsed.
Both have been given away for free so it would have to be a different game or beat a game you won but haven't played at all yet.

The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).

Hello! I'd like to join. I've only won a game, played it this week but it has no achievements, sadly. So I'd like to enter with option #2. I intended to give Concrete Jungle for it but forgot and made it in another group lol. So I'll give Internet Cafe Simulator, if that's okay.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Serlu, same as with the 2 people above you as well:
The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts)
While it is no currently marked with **, Internet Cafe Simulator was literally being given away for free yesterday...
You can either:
- pick a different game that fits the criteria to give away
or
- pick and play any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library to join with option 1 (you just need to let me know which game before you start playing it).
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay! I didn't knew if it would count since it wasn't marked with **. I can't play a game coz I haven't won any yet. For the giveaway option, could it be a DLC?
Comment has been collapsed.
any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library
Since you haven't won anything that actually has achievements you can pick anything you have in your Steam library and play that instead, it does not need to be a win. You can still do option 2 instead if you want, I just want you to know this is an option you have as well.
For the giveaway option, could it be a DLC?
While DLC is welcome for regular giveaways in the group, for the giveaway someone chooses for option 2 I would prefer it to be a game, sorry!

Thanks. Just beat it.
Decent for an older game. Struggled with knowing where to go and how to do stuff. Enemies spawning out of nowhere and being hard to spot.
Enjoyed the main characters and the setting. The banter from the guy in your ear kept me going, and I was excited to see what obstacles the characters would have to face next.

Congrats on beating the game! I am glad you found some enjoyment out of it. Join request approved, welcome to the group!

Hi MouseWithBeer. I have a little situation with progress:
Last month I won Earthlock: Festival of Magic. That game is removed from the store and replaced with an improved version, simply named EARTHLOCK, which gets automatically added to your library when you add the original version.
So I've been playing the improved EARTHLOCK rather than the original and got very far(my achievements so far), but of course this doesn't show up on my progress because I'm playing the newer appid.
Not sure if that's a problem, but I thought I'd let you know before causing you to spend time asking where my progress is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, dont worry, I saw your comment on the GA about it already. I was just waiting for day 30 to check the progress (so you either get a warning or gets approved) of all 4 of you who who it so I don't need to do it multiple times since I need to manually look at each persons library. So as long as you played 5 hours of it on the other AppID it should be approved tomorrow or the day after depending on time I have.
Thank you for the heads up tho, I appreciate it :)

We obviously can't guarantee every single giveaway will be played as we can't tape someone front of their PC and not let them go until they play it, but we can guarantee that if they don't they will be kicked and not able to win anymore from the group.
You actually made me curious what the stats were. With some very quick (and not very accurate because it doesn't take a few things into account) math we have about a 92% "approved" rate for the past year on just under 1,2k giveaways. While sadly not perfect I would say it is probably a hell of a lot better than on public giveaways.

Hi VolcanicProtectorMan, you are not welcome to join.

Due to multiple concerns about your account that I am not interested in discussing here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Here is as good a place as any. I pass the group requirements and am following the rules you've set. Refusing due to concerns that you cannot even say out loud is unfair and makes no sense.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey VolcanicProtectorMan,
as a general rule of thumb, setting your game details and friends list on Steam to public boosts confidence in your account.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the tip except I had them on Public, then the person here just rudely said I'm "unwelcome" without explanation AFTER he saw my profile on Public, so I turned them to Private since it clearly doesn't matter. If this is stated as a rule, I will gladly follow it.
You know what? I want to join U7 but the rules say only after 2 months of joining SG so didn't even ask and instead I'm waiting.
Looks like this group however has hidden rules and they're not even honest about discussing them when asked.
Comment has been collapsed.
No really.
You should play a game you won on SG - you did not win anything so far, so that's no option. Or:
You create a giveaway for the group.
You suggested to play a random game, I assume from your library. That raises the question, if you read the group's rules and if so understood them. Same is true, by implication, for Steamgifts general rules & guidelines.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry you're wrong all around.
I read both the rules and some of the comments that have an addition to the rules:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/qNorC/playing-appreciated-giveaways-with-the-intention-for-the-games-to-be-played-within-a-month/search?page=3#Mdjyq92
Feel free to check who the author of that comment is.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did not know about that comment.
Again, setting some more options on your profile to public helps to build trust.
Of course there are hidden rules for all groups. All group admins have collected some experience which kind of users will be trouble along the way and you raise some flags. Right now I would not invite you to Unlucky7, even if your account would be 2 months old.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you didn't know about that rule, then stop accusing me of breaking the rules? Maybe stop finding excuses for bad behavior from the group person here.
Group creators should share these silly hidden rules when asked to by the person they use those rules against. That's just fair. Example: you explained stuff on your group to people when you refused them. You didn't act snobbishly or rudely. Why are you defending both unacceptable behaviors by this group creator, I wonder?
You can keep your precious group to yourself, Oppenh4imer :) The only flags being raised here are by group creators who are disingenuous in their rules. Scrambling to defend each other when called out on it.
Comment has been collapsed.
The fact that you are so salty about being declined even though you just joined Steamgifts a few hours earlier, raises even more flags - just saying :p

Dealing with rude people who falsely accuse you of things is salty, it seems. At least according to Bakarina here. Simping continues - just saying :p Keep those red flags up! The Lunar New Year is almost upon us!

Actually the issue is something completely different, I shall message you privately about it as a heads up.

I bet if you set your game details to public, they all were once given for free or are low trade value bundle games, or am I wrong ;)

I'll humor your condescending question once then ignore you :)
None of the rules of the group say to set anything to public. Not even the whole site you're using, so :) Only once a week to make sure the profile with games is synced.
If I'm on SG then I have good enough games. Asking how much value they are is a scummy question to be honest.
Have fun trolling someone else, FilthySouls.

I would prefer not to get into any issues with support for calling someone out, thats why I am not gonna be discussing anything here :)
Also I am not a he.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can and should call anyone out if you had something to say but you don't. You're just blowing smoke.
Also your gender doesn't matter. You being a woman or identify as one doesn't make it ok to be impolite and dismissive.
Comment has been collapsed.
Last time I checked calling out is against the rules so I will not be doing that. Nor I will continue this discussion. We have the right to reject anyone for any reason we feel like and noone is entitled to join any Steam groups. And thats what it boils down it in the end, if we say no, it is a no.
It does because you were incorrectly referring to me in your other comment as a he, which I am not.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you had any transparency at all, you'd state your reasons loud and clear. Find a way to do so without breaking the rules.
When you have your own group rules that people follow, then you choose to disregard your own rules anyway and be impolite and snobbish about it, it's not others who are entitled, it's you.
Your gender identity seems so important to you that you keep bringing it up while ignoring your poor handling of this situation. Nobody cares what gender you are.
It's not about your little group anymore. It's about your vague accusations and off putting behavior.
Feel free to share your 'multiple concerns' and the 'calling out' you keep waving around. Find a way to do so without breaking the SG rules but it's okay to break your own little group's rules apparently.

Hi Soyalp104, you might have deleted your account since and remade it but I still have it on record that you have won 4 games in the group before which you didn't play. So no, you can't rejoin until you play those.
Edit: I figured out what happened to your original account and in that case you are not welcome back not even if you play those games.
