Ungunbu: i'm thinking about a simple rep requirement (25+) and a kind of lottery system -- first N (say 50?) members that opt in will be randomly picked (by me) to get the game

does it sound ok?
avatar
blotunga: Yes, although I wouldn't limit the number of entrants and I would have an exception list for the low rep. Some users (especially from Pakistan, but not just them) are wrongfully targeted by rep bots. So I personally would add something like (min rep 25 or having created a giveaway before this one started on GOG - with proof required). This way you still can filter out beggars, bots etc.

Venhiem: Rep is dead.

blotunga: I agree, Venheim here is one of our more pro-active members, but has been targeted for some reason by downrepping bots.
i did not know about rep bots!

It's the new "hit" around here. Many people were hit lately, as I said users from Pakistan were hit suspiciously often, but also people getting/giving gifts in the Ninja Thread, this thread and the Non-Gog gifting thread.

Ungunbu: makes sense!

--

i was thinking about darkstone for the giveaway (not in the promo) -- i think it's an appreciated game

blotunga: You can give away anything, and I'm willing to bet you'll find someone who doesn't has it. I mean if Torchlight sold like hot cakes during the Insomnia sale, nothing surprises me anymore :D.
avatar
Ungunbu: even better -- you choose the game with a max price of $6
avatar
blotunga: Max price giveaway usually attract more entrants :)
you said limiting number of entrants is no good -- a time constraint maybe? e.g., you can opt int till sunday (my timezone GMT+1) or similar?

EDIT
actually i'm GMT+2 :)

Well yes, it's either A or B. Usually people use a time constraint. It can be a day, or a week or anything between, it's up to you to decide :). I usually set a flexible date (like sometime next week) and usually draw it when I see that interest is getting low (no new entrants for some time or only very few of them)

All being said it's your giveaway so you can make up any rule you want. :)

time i think, though ultimately its up to you. its possible that you may not get as many entrants as you set the limit for so time'd be better. u can always make changes to things such as time and max entrants after starting giveaway

Ungunbu: please take a look at my giveway when you have the time :) let me know if some of the rules sound weird
All those rules are fairly standard....

blotunga: There is no specific 3D related gifting thread, I'm not sure that we need one though. As for general trading, we use the Classifieds thread.
3d = thread :P
