PaterAlf: the I-want-to-see-at-least-some-forum-activity-outside-the-gift-threads-rule
I have seen the post the very second you posted it, but I did not feel like requesting it because I only ask for games I am really interested in, so in a bundle is very hard to fulfill that personal requirement. You might be interested in a game, but you do fell "meh" regarding the others.
I think that the problem is your typical "grab it all" guy wants it, but does not meet the requirement and people who meet the requirement do not want it because they feel other people could enjoy the gift more.

Also regarding this rule, keep in mind that a bunch of users inhabit the subgame forums, so if you only search their name, they might look as key grabbers even if they are not!

You are probably right. If no one wants it today, I might start gifting the games one by one. But that would mean that I could only give away the Steam keys and I'd rather like to give away the whole pack with all the DRM-free downloads and the Desura code.

Think I know many of the regular members (at least by name), but I'll keep that in mind. There are several game forums that I never visited and there might in fact some users that I never saw before.

PaterAlf: Indie Royale - The Mystery Bundle (The Sun at Night, Hero of the Kingdom, Huntsman: The Orphanage (Steam only), Major Mayhem, Paranormal State: Poison Spring (Steam only), The Samaritan Paradox, Power-Up, Kingdom Elemental, Battlepaths and President for a Day: Corruption) for the first one who wants it.

Only rule: If I search for your name, I want to see some regular forum activity outside of the usual giveaway and gift threads.
I will take it (if it's available).

siulebuo: I will take it (if it's available).
Sorry, I've never seen you before, so I'm not really sure if you qualify (there was a rule).

Sent you a PM with a question.

As said in PM, thank you anyway. It's your giveaway and your rules.

I am really dissapointed with this practice of "giveaway only for forum rep members". It's like: "if your are not very social and/or do not write very well on english you do not deserve our games".

I have a year old account. I read the forum from time to time, but I not like to write very much (this message takes me 10 minutes). Maybe that's a reason for not deserve something.

If you read the forum, then you probably know that there are a few ugly trolls who frequent this place and steal games. They open many accounts, cheat on trades, and generally make this a worse place than it should be. The limits are not a matter of deserving anything, although you may think of it that way. This is a place where people in a group trade things that they own - no one really "deserves" anything, and the person who is making the gift certainly has the right to give his or her game to someone whose name is familiar from the forums.

No, that's nort the reason. The reason is that we had (and still have) many people here (some with multiple accounts) that only show up when there are free games to grab. Some of them never even said "thank you" or also scammed people.

Because of this most people stopped code dropping and many also introduced rules to their giveaways.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry that you feel disappointed and I'm not saying that you are one of these leechers, but please understand that people got sceptical, because their generosity got exploited.

Please feel free to participate in any of my giveaways that don't have such a rule (the next big one will probably be in December).

It's actually a fairly reasonable practice. I probably know the effort of writing a long and thoughtful post better than most, and yet I put in the effort because it seems to be the least I can do to make the forum a better place. I know how simply reading and not replying may seem like reasonable participation, but you should consider how there is no way for others to appreciate it. Even if one isn't very sociable or skilled in writing, putting that bit of effort is a reasonable way to repay your gifter's generosity.

And yes, that post took me around 7 minutes, maybe a little more ;)

EDIT: At least 8 minutes, actually - judging from the posts that replied before me :P

First of all, I am sorry for not reading the rule of the offer: "Only rule: If I search for your name, I want to see some regular forum activity outside of the usual giveaway and gift threads". Thst's because the offer was one (or more) pages away from my reply. I ask for the game because no one take it (maybe because the rule).

Second, you ar right. As I say in my reply: "It's your giveaway and your rules". Maybe this forum needs a private groups feature so the "people in a group" can trade things without annoying people (like me).

Well, maybe. Opinions vary. In the meantime, welcome to the forums! Hope we'll see more of you, so you'll be more familiar to everyone.
Ive posted this in other threads, but nobody seems to be biting, Ill try it here.

Its a code for the Thanatos Character and his Jack the Reaper skin for the game SMITE. If anybody plays SMITE and wants it, message me, or reply.

Yes, I have only messages in giveaway posts (2 messages). My account have 484 days and I grab 1 game (and say thank you). Maybe I do not participate (almost) of the forum, but I do not think I am a leecher.

But you do not need to send me a PM to ask if I have more forum activity that you can not see. That's like if you are laughing at me.

And no, thank you. I will not participate in your giveaway because you (and other in this forum) make me feel like a beggar.

Thank you very much.

How many times have you read Wikipedia and how many times do you write on it?
Do you like Wikipedia?
