I'm thinking of starting my own group. I'm only looking to gauge interest for now. I'll send out instructions for joining later if and when I decide to go ahead with the idea.

The group won't have any monthly or ratio requirements. You won't have to contribute anything, ever. It's just a way for me to reach more people with my GAs.

These are the requirements to apply:

  1. Level 4. SG account at least 6 months old.
  2. Minimum real CV ratio 0.8, preferably > 1.0
    • This is the requirement that I'm most flexible on. I don't mind if your ratio is a bit lower if you exceed the other criteria by a wide margin.
  3. Played at least 20% of your wins. I'll be checking the '≥25% complete' stat using the "do you even play, bro?" script.
  4. Won fewer than 60 games in the past year.
    • I can allow up to 100 but that's the absolute upper limit and you need to have played a very high percentage of your wins, especially recent ones. Very high = 50% or more
  5. Giveaway activity in the past 6 months. I can make exceptions to this if you've been very generous overall.
    • Your giveaways should be "normal". By that I mean: No overpriced shovelware, hentai, cheap/low quality games, dev/curator stuff, CV exploits, etc.
    • Most of your giveaways should be relatively accessible (Public, invite-only GAs for community events, GAs to groups like U-7, TalePlay, PA, PAGYWOSG, QGG companion)
    • No heavy region restrictions to a single country or small region.
  6. Be polite and respectful.
  7. Must play Psychonauts 1 upon joining the group, but only if your name is xxxka

Please comment below if you're interested. I won't reply to each comment, but I'll make a note of your interest.

Edit 1: Updated requirement #5 from 3 months to 6 months. I don't mind periods of inactivity if the other conditions are met.
Edit 2: Made exception to basic limit of requirement #4 more explicit.

Mandatory GA
SGTools rules are not a reflection of group joining requirements. You may still apply even if you don't pass the SGTools check.

It's great to see you again Foxpile! I noticed you were offline for a few months and was starting to get worried. Hope all is well 💙

I don't meet the requirement number 3, I think! But it's nice to see you taking an initiative like this, cheers man! :)

Won fewer than 60 games in the past year. I'll allow for more if your percentage of played wins is very high.

I'm interested, but currently failing #4 - maybe I'll be more unlucky / more discerning in 2025! Also fail your sgtools gate if that's relevant.

I've won 102 in the last 3 months. Being lucky is a gift and a curse.

The sgtools gate is not relevant. Like I mentioned to Tucs earlier, it has a check for num_won < 600 which you're failing by a hair unfortunately.

Bump!

Couple of small requirement updates/clarifications were made.

I won't be making any decisions about the group until next year. It's a busy time of year and I'm not in a decision making mood.

In the mean time, more applications are welcome! I'll keep this discussion open until the attached GA ends on Dec 24th.

Nice edit, you probably should have made rule 7 stricter like

Must play and stream Psychonauts 1 and 2 upon joining the group, but only if your name is xxxka

Joke aside, take all time you need . And have a soothing end of the year.

Even if the group does not exist yet, I must say :

hmm, I've won 64 games since Dec 1 last year. ..and I have to admit it's too much to my liking because I barely keep up with playing them. My ratio of played wins is still pretty high, but I feel like I play fewer and fewer SG wins lately (I blame XGP & CJ's event, lol). Also, I don't know about my giveaway activity in the last 6 months specifically, but overall I have about 50% of group giveaways. All in all, I'm interested too (even if I shouldn't, I have enough games as it is)

Also, I need to fire up the "Do you even play, bro?" script and check everyone in this thread so I can add them to my whitelist :D

These stats are interesting. I wonder how they handle gamers who play tons of short games, that are under 5 hours. I've been playing a higher mix of short and medium length games lately. I think The Deed takes the place of shortest interesting game to beat.

Bump...?
