Regarding last message because I didn't have a chance to reply:

If you're interested in my particular opinion, I strongly disagree with the fact how you're supposed to play all your wins and how you should forbid yourself from joining giveaways with intention of not playing to begin with. I'm a game collector, but also a gamer at heart, which is why in my own group we make use of custom rules that the giveaway creator can set up himself in order to ensure that winner plays the game, but without a strict requirement of such custom rule to exist in the first place.

This gives my members a freedom in terms of giving (and winning) both - crappy bundled games that would be an insult to require to be played, and a lot of highly-wishlisted titles with custom rules that everybody happily joins and complies, because not complying results in being removed from the group, with us (especially ArchiBoT) tracking carefully whether all rules are followed.

This is nothing against you or other people, I respect and can understand PA way of doing things, I just don't fully agree with it, which is why I organized stuff my own way in my playground. One of the pre-reqs to join PA is high record of SG wins being played, and I can outright tell you that I'm not going to comply with that, because majority of stuff I win (and give away) are bundle games that I don't have intention to play, and I'm not hiding that fact through any means. This also includes some PA giveaways that I'm joining through other means (WL/groups). At the same time you are missing out on my "gamer" side which would be happy to comply with exclusive PA giveaways the same it does in Touhou, except I do not like being forced to finish some game within a timeframe, I prefer to play things on my own and choose what I want to play rather than going with my wins in-order.

Hope you can understand, maybe even make use of some of my ideas to further improve your group. All the best! :3

I guess this is an American proverb: "Different ropes for different folks"
I totally understand you.
Little correction: not "play all your wins" but "play all your group wins" :)
The reason he is kicked is not because he did not play his win btw. You should've seen his deleted messages in a giveaway :)

Like I told himself in my reply, I also highly doubted that his story is 100% truth to begin with, and I do not jump onto conclusions without hearing both sides.

Now I see that the rules seem to be a bit different compared to the last time I checked them, I'm actually quite happy with them, maybe I'll decide to apply myself soon, assuming you'll be fine with me to begin with.

Thanks for replying!
