GAF Steamgifts Group Invite Thread

You should just trade the game to the person you want, if you are so picky about who can win a public giveaway.
It's not a public giveaway. That is the thing. I had 3 public giveaways, and then decided the 4th one would be for you guys. So I made a group giveaway, only shared the link in hidden form here, and included instructions in the giveaway description. I didn't expect there to either be a) so many random ass people in the neogaf steam group or b) so many people to jump on my profile to check any groups I belong to for additional giveaways beyond the ones I made public.

Argue what you want about what CAN be done and the necessary procedures to prevent it from happening; every last one of these people are still assholes for trying for something that I specifically stated they will not get. The three public giveaways were for them. This one is not for them and will not go to any of them.

Now, this third guy is polish and so are all his friends. I'm not saying that no polish people can speak and post in english, and thus on this forum, but so far my experience with foreigners on steamgifts has not been positive. He also seems to only play TF2. Steam won't let me message him in any way without friending him first, so we'll wait a while to see if he actually is a poster here, and if he isn't, fuck it. I'll just have the giveaway deleted and do a fully private one.
 
Group giveaways show up as long as you are in the Steam group. Since the NeoGAF Steam group is public, anybody can join and see the group giveaways. Hiding the link here doesn't really make a difference with public group giveaways. There are people on steamgifts with hundreds of groups.

Hiding private links here with the stipulation that you will confirm that they are actually members here would work much better.
 
AFAIK you can only pick "hidden" or "group", not both. I thought you could do both but maybe they changed it. I did a group giveaway once or twice to NeoGAF and didn't even hear back from the winners so chances are they were probably just non-GAF leechers. This was before re-rolls were able to be done so easily.
 
Well I was about to reroll but the possibility of it coming up wrong again made me want to shoot myself so I just sent it to this guy. Next time I'll do fully private. You guys should get TL2 anyway.

Why is it telling me this? My profile is public as far as I'm concerned



Sync Game Library with Steam
Please switch to a public Steam profile for a second to update your account.
Note: We require all registered users to have their Steam game library synced with our site. If your profile is public, this will automatically be done on a regular basis. For those using a private or friends only profile, you'll be able to bring your account up-to-date by briefly switching to a public profile for a few seconds a week. This is done to prevent users from entering giveaways for games which they already own.


Eh, now it's fixed, whatever
 
For those who missed out!

I think I have a steamgifts problem I keep entering x-blades giveaways just because I have the points to do it...

Well, it's better than letting the points go to waste!

If i have tons of points i just enter into any giveaway. Heck, both of my won games were actually games i didn't really want. lol

Well, damn, these look all interesting to me.
 
This site must be getting more popular. My points seem to regenerate quicker (meaning more giveaways are being created) and I never win anything.

Yeah someone on the forums there was suggesting having a entry limit for each day (on just public giveaways) so people will actually enter things they are interested and not just anything. That way people will have more of a chance at winning.

Pretty much every single person there blasted him for it but I think it's a decent idea.

I've matched winners to their gaf names, so emails are coming in a bit.

EDIT: And done, grats all.

Did the same with Just Cause 2 and Quantum Conundrum ... but very few quantums

Still have 15 JustCause2s open

Did you bother to remove your entry to other contests for missing link ?

I wish you could enter the same contest multiple times. As is, I'm entering for games I'll never play just to use up points.
