Still slightly confused what CV is in terms of the description and why anyone cares. No offense... just seems cryptic to me why you'd announce "no CV inside".
this is not my usual answer, but i was rushing, so, left you only the link. sorry.
you can see Contributor Value from two points of view, we'll take this giveaway as an example:
i've created this giveaway and, if everything goes right, i'll get 2 points of CV. i need these 2 points of CV to raise up my Level.
you want to enter this giveaway, you have to pay 2 points (of your 400) to enter. if you win it, no big fuss, your Ratio of created giveaways/wins has changed.
so it's really more important for whom creates the giveaway. for you, if you want to enter certain Groups or certain protected giveaways, you might have to adhere to certain ratio limits... or, if you keep on winning, and you don't give away anything, i could decide to blacklist you, or to not whitelist you and so on... little SG drama :D
if a game has been given away in huge quantities, has no more CV, like this one: no effects on creating or winning this type of gibs.
if game has been bundled, game has only 15% ov CV (15% of 2P)
if it's unbundled it's called Full CV, and i'll get the full 2 points. your ratio will change by 2 points.
let me know if it helps! :D
edit: all that said, you can keep to live your happy-SG-life without caring of CV... !
Yeah, I will do that... because this makes little logical sense to me. I assume people keep up with this, but barely anything given away on this site is more than a spare key, so why put so much effort into knowing this lingo and keeping track of things like that? I used to give keys away on here myself, but I stopped because someone was very ugly to me about a key that didn't work. I gave up being nice on here, because the moderators were on his side and said I had to ask for his permission to refund the points spent and close the giveaway. Otherwise, it just becomes a forever open, disputed giveaway....
Anyway, the idea that I should be blacklisted somewhere for not giving enough away seems pretty silly when the whole point of this place is for less fortunate people to win some games to pad their library.
it's absolutely true that system here is always best for the winner, always thought. i'm not a "normal" SG user, i know, but you can't imagine how many of those winners i have seen. the "SG game" (to me SG is a meta-game) works like that, reaching high levels should mean higher chances of getting games but it's actually not true, is just reaching an higher level.
there's plenty of absurd things (and people) here around, and i am one of them. is it normal to share this much? am i plainly dumb? don't know. my guess is i've chosen a way to be here, you've chosen another one. and those ugly winners, another one. and so on.
for blacklists, exact same thing: you could stay and "play" here for 10 years without caring of them. or make the usual drama in Discussions. think also about "leechers", those with a huge number of wins and 0 created giveaways. they are considered the worst part, worst people here, when, in fact, they are vital for this site.
and tons more, Syrsly. thank you for the nice conversation, i hope you'll gonna stick around and search for the wonderful people you might find
I'm not planning to go anywhere, but I don't run my own giveaways nowadays because of how SG handles keys which winners claim don't work. it upset me too much. Rather give them away via Twitter/X or my Discord server if I was going to do that kind of thing again. Just seems more rewarding that way. I just hop on here now to enter a few giveaways every now and then and infrequently reply to forum threads. ;)
Thank you <3
