Welcome to the recruitment thread for Duquality aka 2X. Duquality is a small group that's been around since September 27, 2017. In Duquality we focus on creating giveaways with very positive reviewed games. Members make their 2 qualifying giveaways each month and can enter and win without having to worry about their ratio. When you have to worry about ratio/value difference it just doesn't feel like you're winning.

SG PROFILE HERE
STEAM GROUP HERE

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

  • You must be at least level 3 on SG.
  • At the time you apply you need to have a decent sized history over the last 3 months of creating giveaways that fit the group's giveaway requirements(see below).
  • You must stay in good standing on both SG and Steam.
  • Begging for entries in not permitted.

GIVEAWAY REQUIREMENTS

  • All giveaways are exclusive to the group. No whitelists or other groups.
  • Games need to have at least 100 Steam purchase reviews with a "Very Positive" rating(located above the developers name on the right side of the Steam store page under "All Reviews").
  • Games need to be worth 10P or more on SG
  • Giveaways need to finish with at least 8 entries(roughly 1/5 of the group has to show interest).
  • Giveaway duration is at least 5 days long and a maximum of 3 weeks.

WHAT THINGS CAN'T BE USED FOR GIVEAWAYS?

Games on the SG No Value/No CV list, Virtual Reality, Visual/Kinetic Novels, Dating Sims, Hidden Object Games, Movies/FMV, Software, DLC by itself and Games w/ Heavy Region Locks. Remember if it has ** next to the title of the game during GA creation don't use it.

LOOKING FOR GREAT GAMES FOR GIVEAWAYS MADE EASY

We currently use a friend's site that allows us to quickly see how many members own/ don't own a game as well as how many members have it on their wishlist. This site is extremely helpful and really makes a difference for creating giveaways. A big thank you to our friend for allowing us to be part of the database. To respect our friend's privacy I've chose to leave his name out of this as well as mentioning the site.

HOW TO APPLY FOR THE GROUP

Read the rules and post a comment stating you're applying and include two games that meet the group requirements that you would like to use in the first month. People who don't read the rules and how to apply will not be considered for recruitment and I won't reply to their comment.

Hello, I agree with the rules. Even though I've been there only for 2 months I've already understood all important things on the site and I know that I need to be responsible in the groups.

For the two games I'll gift - I have two great candidates that I recently bought at Fanatical :)

And if too many people already have those games I can give away Deadly Premonition, Beholder, Beholder 2 or Call of Juarez

Hello burningmouse. I would need to see a few months of giveaway history with games that meet the groups requirements to consider you for recruitment.

I did notice that more that half of the 19 giveaways you've created are region locked to RU/RIS including one for Fallout 4 GOTY. I'm not sure if the Fallout 4 GOTY Edition and Skyrim giveaways you are offering to make are region locked to RU/RIS or not, but if they were they couldn't be used. While we do allow giveaways with region locks to a certain extent they need to be VERY light on the region lock part. Since the creation of the group back in 2017 we've had 3,500+ giveaways and only 19 of those had region locks and they were extremely light. The OP did mention about region locks but at one point when editing the thread I must have removed it by accident and I need to add it back, my apologies. You're more than welcome to apply back in a few months if you wish.

They were region locked bcs I did not knew much about buying keys, so I was only buying gifts on Steam. Now I'm only buying keys at Fanatical and Gamivo, always checking that they're global and not region locked (As you can see all my recent giveaways are not region locked). And if it turns out that Fallout and Skyrim keys are region-locked I can always buy keys at the different store, it's not a big problem for me.

(And I think that if I'm applying to the group that's having only 45 members and the group's rules aren't written in russian, it's pretty obvious that I'll do only global giveaways in it ;D)

EDIT: Ah, I'm sorry. I was busy while I was writing this so I haven't noticed the last sentence. I can't join the group right now just because I did not knew much about gifting when I first joined the site? And how many months of giveaway history I actually need to get? I've been on this site for two months and I've been giving away games with very positive rating, so what is actually a "few".

A few generally means 3(it can mean 2, but I normally say a couple when referring to 2). So to be considered for possible recruitment I would need to see at least 3 months of GA history from the time you apply with a decent amount of games that meet the groups requirements. I'll update the OP to make that more clear.

I think you need to update your rules and write "3 months of GA history" in it (among with the region locks ofc). I'm a rookie on SG, but I never applied to groups with clear written rules about GA history, and in this case "few" is very vague term. Sorry for misunderstanding, good luck! (And I also just noticed your edit after I've already send the message, sorry)

Hello quijote3000. In order to be considered for recruitment I would need to see a decent amount of giveaways over the past few months at the time you apply that meet the groups requirements. As mentioned in the OP, games that are reduced to 0 CV can't be used giveaways in the group. You're more than welcome to apply back in a few months if you wish.

You listed a Visual Novel for something you wanted to use for a GA.. those can't be used as it states in the rules.

After looking over your GA history there's barely any games that meet our group's GA requirements. Between that and not reading the rules I feel it's best to decline your application, best of luck to you.

Any reason for explicitly excluding HOGs, dating sims, and VNs? Given the group rules, it'd seem that those would get organically included or purged based on the community's taste.

Hi Wenrok. When coming to a group recruitment thread and applying for a group you should read the requirements. It's crystal clear that you didn't do that. Even if you did meet the requirements, which you don't, I have no interest in recruiting you. Best of luck to you, have a good day.

hello there! I'm suppose the bumps mean you're still recruiting :D

I'm interested in joining the group, I read the rules and I think (yeah I think, I'm absolutely not sure) I pass the requirements. But there're still something leave me questioning. I hope you don't mind clearing it up for me QvQ.

You must stay in good standing on both SG and Steam.

What does it mean to "stay in good standing"? I'm guessing base on other groups rules are that I have to stay positive in Group ratios and have my Steam account public?

Giveaways need to finish with at least 8 entries.

How can I make sure this happen? Even when I'm using the tool database, it's not like I'm guarantee to have enough entries right? ;_;
And what happens if my GAs don't gather enough entries aka not worthy? ヽ(#゚Д゚)ノ┌┛ Get kicked out?

Oh and one more, I saw in the thread that there are 2 separate SG groups page with the same name. And I'm kinda confused about that.

I hope my silly questions don't bother you too much. I just want to make sure I understand the rules correctly before applying. Q^Q

Hello Carrei. I'll do my best answer the questions you have.

What does it mean to "stay in good standing"? I'm guessing base on other groups rules are that I have to stay positive in Group ratios and have my Steam account public?

In good standing means that you don't have a VAC ban on Steam and follow the rules on SG and don't get suspended.

How can I make sure this happen? Even when I'm using the tool database, it's not like I'm guarantee to have enough entries right?

When it comes to entries there's no guarantees on how many you will get. It depends on how many members are interested in the game you put up for a giveaway. I normally recommend to the members they look for games where at least 13 to 14 members don't own.

And what happens if my GAs don't gather enough entries aka not worthy? ヽ(#゚Д゚)ノ┌┛ Get kicked out?

You won't get kicked out. You simply create a replacement giveaway that meets the requirements and finishes with the minimum entry count. Once that happens your giveaway gets marked as completed.

Oh and one more, I saw in the thread that there are 2 separate SG groups page with the same name. And I'm kinda confused about that.

We have the main group which are for the monthly giveaways and then we have the side group for any extra giveaways. I moderate the group myself so it makes it a lot easier for me to keep track of things.

As far as your questions, I don't think they are silly at all and I'm glad I could answer them. If you have anymore questions let me know :)

EDIT: You being in QGG you have access to the same site we do. So you can see the members for Duquality and what they don't own and have on their wishlist.

ahhh I missed that part about monthly. That's why you don't just skim through the intro part :)) Thank you very much for clarifying! >__<
now that everything's cleared out. I'd like to give the application a try. If I pass the 2. requirement and am allowed to enter the group, my first 2 giveaways would be Train Valley (17 members not own) and Sorcery 1 & 2 (19 members not own).
Yes I did my homework yayy

The two games you've named wouldn't reach the entries needed. I am going to send you a friends request to talk to you about possible recruitment in the future.

Hello quijote3000. After looking over the last 3 months there's only a few giveaways that meet the requirements of the group, so I'm going to have to decline you for now but you can try back again in a month or two.

I did want to mention that Beat Cop can't be used as it's on the SG "No CV" list and The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters does meet the requirements of the group, but it definitely wouldn't get anywhere near the minimum required entries.
