SG_UGD is a different kind of giveaway group.
The idea of this group is giving away games at unlucky chance. It's a lot of fun, and gets real (well somewhat) intense when the rolling begins!


How it works:

  • 75 members MAX(this is including myself)
    (Example of how it works.) Every 2 weeks I will use a random word/name picker generator and 25 out of 75 people will be picked. (1/3 of the group is how many people will be picked. With 66 people it'd be 22 people picked, not 25.)
  • I will stream/make a video when doing the roll session.
  • The 25 people picked will have to make a giveaway.
  • No games on the bundle list nor DLC can be used as your primary giveaway, but if you want to do it as a secondary/bonus giveaway that is fine. They just can't be your primary giveaway. (I may make exceptions for very popular/very wanted DLC.)
  • There is no mark for winning a giveaway, so you can go crazy and enter them all!(Just make sure you want it. ;p)
  • The 25 people picked for the session will be safe for the next roll session meaning they will not be able to picked again for the next session. This is done so they won't have to make a giveaway every 2 weeks if they are unlucky(So basically if they are unlucky it will be once a month.)
    The giveaway must be made sometime in those 2 weeks before the next roll. (To be more specific, must be made within the first week, and last a week long.)
    ~If you aren't picked during the roll of the dice, you CAN still make giveaways for the group if you want to(Which will just be a bonus/random giveaway.), HOWEVER making a giveaway doesn't make you safe for the next roll.

To be able to join the group: (Meaning for a chance to enter this does, it does not mean you will auto enter the group.)

  • Need At least 100$ minimum of value for gifted games.
  • A good entry to comment ratio is a plus.
  • Being an active chatter for the steam chat is also a plus.
  • Don't be cheap. (I'm not expecting nor asking for TRIPLE A 60$ games[though feel free to make those if you want. ;p lol], but I'd rather you not being doing the minimum of paying 1$ for a game to give away. I'm not gonna post a minimum value, but just don't be super cheap please. <3 )
  • Comment on all giveaways you join.(Give them your thanks, and say how sorry you are that they were picked that session. ;p ) [Not doing so may get on the blacklist of some members.]
  • You must make a giveaway within the first 2 days of being in the group. I don't like having this requirement and never had it before. But we have had some members leech and leave when it there turn to give. To make this fair when you join, you will be put on the safe list for that roll(After making your giveaway). So you will not be picked on this Sunday's roll.
    I may make some exceptions if you don't meet the comment ratio or whatever, so feel free to comment.(Don't bother posting if you've never given away anything and have like 4 comments)

Here is the group page.

Just post here if you are interested in joining. :)

Roll 18 will be on September 29th. (Always ever other Sunday.)

Hey Elbows I like the way you do the giveaways. It sounds pretty cool. I'm just wondering about activity within the group is. Do I need to be active in chat or anything or can I just throw out some giveaways? I don't ever go into sg chat so I'm no good on that part as my group takes up all my activity time, but I would follow through with any giveaways I have to do or just want to do.

Let me know what you think. If you don't want to invite me I won't be offended either.

Ofc I vouch for our beloved Chieftain :> And actually the major activity whatsoever is durinf roll sundays and recruitment - active chat once a two weeks is not so harsh ;)

Would that be chatting in SG room, which I should go into more often anyways, or unlucky chat room? I could probably swing once a week or more if needed.

You won't ever kicked for not being active in the chat. I like when people are active in it, but it's not really needed. Join when ya can, there are usually a few of us in there. (You should always come and join when the rollings happen. :3 But again isn't needed.)

Invited ya~

After passing this group for a while, this time I would like to join, if allowed.
May I have an invite?
(If you care, the first giveaway would be Recettear from my inventory. Also if you care about my comment "ratio", I follow a comment guideline of: if the giveaway is public and has under 100 entries, and I enter, or if it's a group or private giveaway, then I comment. I don't feel the need to comment as the 1000th entrant on a public giveaway)

so if GA has 98 entries it's ok to post thanks, but if someone puts brand new AAA title as public he doesn't deserve ay appreciation at all? right...

I said what I do, not what I think everyone should do. Please, do whatever makes you happiest.

That said, when I create a giveaway, after the first maybe 10 comments, the rest of the "thanks" don't mean much to me, regardless of what I give away. For me, comments don't always correlate with appreciation, as I would rather have the winner be thankful.

Edit: I think of it statistically; for a AAA game with many entrants, the additional appreciation that the creator will receive from my comment is much less than the additional appreciation that a creator for a small indie game will receive from one of my comments. In that way, I value my comment for giveaway with few entries more than a comment for a giveaway with many entries.
Also: To clarify, I don't not comment on AAA giveaways. Sorry if that was interpreted from what I said.

Again, if you don't feel that way, do whatever makes you most satisfied when giving and receiving.

He said that he doesn't post thanks, not that he doesn't appreciate the giver's contribution.
