Xaxius: exactly which rule does this violate? I don't recall that being a free game although I might have missed it, and while they are taking games back and forth they aren't actually trading it wasn't pre arranged and wasn't offered as a trade he just happened to leave a game that the person he took one from wanted, this has happened on several occasions, as long as another game is left there are no broken rules.
the trading rule is to stop people from saying "ill give anyone game X if they give me game Y" or "I have game A what will someone give me for it" those are trades.
WildHobgoblin: Firstly: neither Lobuz5 nor Oathe seemed to have a problem with my objection, I think the proposed solution (wait 5 days) is a reasonable one, so no biggie, eh? ;)
Secondly: The OP clearly states
cmdr_flashheart: .
How it works: post the
name of your giveaway game, and if someone asks for it, then they have to giveaway a game as well, which must be gifted to
someone other than the person who gifted them.
WildHobgoblin: So no "circle-gifting". Arguing whether some action does still "honor the spirit of the rules" or not is arguing semantics, as far as I'm concerned. It's against the rules, don't do it, simple as that.
Thirdly: As stated, I don't have a huge problem with this myself in this particular case, but I think the rules are there for a reason. To avoid future problems, potential backlash, and discussions/querys exactly like this one,
just don't gift your gifter, done.
Thanks for reading, and a good day to you, sir ;)
huh so it does. for some reason I didn't recall that being there I just remembered that there was no trading I haven't read the op in like a year though so that may have been why. I just asked because as I said ive seen it happen on multiple occasions. thanks for pointing it out and answering my inquiry.
