By the way, I haven't been following here lately. Any decision on users in restricted regions? I am in Turkey, every thing I buy is restricted to Turkey, can't gift stuff to anyone for a while now.

If you have read the rules from the first post, you should know that you can't for now:

• Rule #3: Only active members of GOG.com with a minimum of 40 in REP can apply (you have 1).

• Rule #7: You needed to post your SteamGifts profile, not the Steam Community. Anyway, I found yours:
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/Sleazy89

Rule #8 will have to be applied in this situation: Now you need 55 in REP and can ask for an invite after a month.

I need to confirm first with liquidsnakehpks, but this shouldn't be a problem. I know what you mean, I'm from Chile and almost everything I buy from the Steam Store is now locked to countries in South America. But that doesn't stop me, I use other stores like Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, Nuuvem, Bundle Stars Store, Humble Bundle Store, and other bundle sites to get Steam games to gift. And since this is now allowed on SteamGifts, in the case you have a region-locked game you should be able to mark its region and the GOG.com Gift Club group while creating your giveaway. There're other members from Turkey too in this group.

liquidsnakehpks should be able to answer this more properly though, and more "official".

EDIT: liquidsnakehpks has no problems with this either and he's not against region-locked giveaways in the group.

Thats the only downside , but we have no issues with region locked giveaways since sg allows it , just as long as it is shown clearly.

Thank you all for understanding and co-operating with the new rules, we set the difference based on the stats of the members , lets hope in the future we can reduce it further as members close the gap.

AFnord: Honesty, I find the new rules a bit too harsh. As far as I know, I'm well within my "safety limit", but honestly, I don't like to feel forced to give away games, which is what the current rules basically do. While I can understand the need for some anti-leaching measures, I think the current gift difference is too low, at least for higher numbers of games won. Instead I honestly think a ratio system would be better, say 4:1 (you are allowed to win 4 times as many games as you give away) or at least 2 games/year, or something like that. Gifting should mainly be something that you do because you feel like being nice to someone else, not because you have to give away games.
i am sure we can fine tune the difference as we go along right now what we are aiming for is getting all members to a similar stat level rather than skewed one , then we can loosen or tighten up as needed.

IIRC SG wants a minimum of 5 entries to count towards CV, not sure if region locked group giveaways will have that many. Not exactly a deal breaker for me but not happy with it either.

luckily cv has nothing to do with our group apart from members setting the giveaways at different levels.
i am sure sg set it so to ensure the regional giveaways are not abused a lot.

It's there to prevent abusing group giveaways; lets say 2 people group, gifting each other games to get CV up.
CV has everything to do with group giveaways too; one doesn't get CV contribution, one can't enter giveaways requiring higher CV levels.

Maybe an invite into the group could be obtained?

Sorry for the delay. Welcome to the club! ^_^
A group invite was sent through Steam. Don't forget to read the rules ;)

Well sure wasn't shocked to see who was at the top of the list...

But was a little surprised to see I was on the very first page, since I haven't even been around (in the group) very long.

referring to this of course... http://www.steamgifts.com/group/f2hXw/goggift/users

+1

I also have some questions. Is the numbers for GOGgifts won and sent only or Sgifts in total? If it is the first is there a tool so I can easily see what my ratio is for GOGgifts?
http://www.steamgifts.com/group/f2hXw/goggift/users NVM about the last it was in the post just above mine ;) Still would like to know the first though

That link was included twice in the announce... and yes, includes the stats for gifts sent/received in giveaways for this group (hence that link). Now with SGv2 you can check the activity for each group you belong. That's the link with the information for GOG.com Gift Club, and the only one we are using.
