You cannot buy anything for a "thank you" so why should there be any motivation to get "thank yous"? However NOT thanking somebody if you got gifted something is simply not nice and that is all I ever wanted to say.

IMO the point Marko made is simply that, on the receiving end, it’s not nice for one to not even give a quick thanks. It’s just this simple, nothing more, and doesn’t really involve much about the giving side or even the GA rules. I may be wrong.

This may hurt but, I think we, as humans, tends to react too, hmm, early sometimes, before fully understand the situation, thus making our replies (to Marko, in this case) less effective, and even resulting in unnecessary quarrels. A common case between my parents.

Not intended to embarrass anyone, just some recent thoughts of mine regarding communication between people. Welcome to ignore me :)

Exactly. Although not mandatory, showing some good manners and gratitude is the least you can do, imo.
This way donors are happier and things roll better in general.

If that's not the case, you can also do something like this:
Nevermind, you're welcome in the name of Doc0075!

I did something similar once with another user and now he doesn't forget thanking donors anymore...

No, you are not wrong that is absolutely what I wanted to say - nothing more and nothing less. Thank you.

Now that I've expressed my feelings and received some replies we probably should move on. I really don't want to derail this any further than I already did (which also was not intended)... so please finkleroy and all accept my sincere apologies for derailing this thread at all. Please, continue the requesting/gifting.

Is there a Round 2? :D

Hm... may I ask for Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition?

Granted.

May I have Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition?

Am I qualify for Elex?

I would like to nominate bhrigu for Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Royal DLC Package.

may i request kingdom come royal deliverance package if available?
if not then Kingdom Come Deliverance would be fine(due to a nomination for the royal edition)

edited cuz i was in the wrong thread for something else lol

I get that and I wasn't trying to "chastise" you or anyone else ITT before with my words(I was mainly just musing how I felt on anyone who wanted or seemed to want to give games for thanks in general & how I felt thanks shouldn't be mandatory)....so if you felt I said anything offensive then I apologize.

Agreed, and it seems that individual doesn't like to thank & you had better cause than I thought to be concerned.

You'd be amazed how many times i've seen on other sites(not here, of course, that i've seen, but elsewhere) people will give out games or donate money to places and do it in a "public area" of a site to brag about it and get thanks/praise/etc.

Some(elsewhere online) seem to thrive on that sort of thing, it seems.

I got that..I was just(as I said) stating how I feel on people being forced to thank in general and other musings based off of the topci you brought up & my feelings on such.

Again, if my words offended you or anyone else I apologize as that wasn't my intent.
====================================================================

You and Marko made some good points and I agree wholeheartedly......well said. :)
====================================================================

A gentle "nudge" like that also seems like a good idea and more preferable to other being forced(in general for any reason, I mean).....good idea. :)
====================================================================

You're right....I will also be moving on as well(no need for anyone to reply to this if they want the thread to carry on past this topic....I just wanted to reply a bit to some of you who made good/interesting posts). Have a good one. :)

I'd like to ask for Frostpunk if available.

Granted.
The forum search function and Google are both terrible ways to tell how much recent activity you have on the forum, but unfortunately they're the only tools I have at my disposal. According to them, you seem to be new here, so you don't really qualify for the giveaway yet. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the forum and make some meaningful posts and/or tell some jokes here and there in threads that aren't specifically for game giveaways, and before you know it you'll be eligible. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of this giveaway, which are located in the first post of this thread. In the meantime, someone in the community gifting thread might be able to help you out. The only way to fast-track the qualification process is to donate some keys. I'm just trying to make sure you're not only on the forum to get free games. Donating isn't mandatory, but it's a good indication that you're not just here for free games.
The nomination was for the DLC package that requires the base game. Your request for the base game is granted. In the future, please refrain from editing a post that contains a request.
Granted.
