Potato Power Giveaways

Hello everyone.

I want to point out this is my first attempt to create a giveaway group. I might have written a bit too extensive list of rules, but it was only because I was trying to come up with ways to prevent leeching, but also to give benefits to users who maintain impressive group ratio level.

This is a group which requires monthly giveaways and maintaining group ratio of 0.75 or better. However, users who can afford to contribute more and manage to maintain a real CV ratio of 2 or above, will be given green light not to follow any of the monthly giveaways restrictions and dates. Instead, they will only need to maintain this level and be nice. They will be called Power Potatoes.

Becoming a Power Potato is not needed and not sought after. I came up with this rule simply because I have the impression some high-level gifters prefer more relaxed groups. Others, however, cannot afford to keep to such standards and that's perfectly fine. All potatoes are awesome.

So, group requirements for now will be:

• Minimum level: 5
• Real CV ratio sent/won of 0.75 or better.
• No VAC bans, non-activated gifts and double wins. Clean steamrep.
• Previous history in giving away non-bundled games is preferred.

These might become more strict or more relaxed depending on the demand and the popular opinion in the group.

Key points of the rules:

• At least 1 non-bundled giveaway per month with a value of at least $15.
• Group sent/won real CV ratio of 0.75 or better.
• Monthly giveaways should be posted by 15th each month.
• You are not allowed to enter giveaways before you post your monthly giveaway.
• You have time until the end of the month to fulfill the minimum 0.75 ratio within the group.
• Extra giveaways can be shared with other groups/whitelist and will count towards your ratio, but monthly ones must be group-exclusive.
• Bundle games are allowed, but you cannot cover your negative group ratio with bundled games only. However, if you only win bundled games, you are allowed to do so.
• Humble Monthly Early unlocks may count as monthly giveaways. The rest of the Humble Monthly games will count as non-bundled extras.
• Region-free giveaways. If you wish to create a region-locked giveaway, it will not count towards your ratio, and it can be shared with other groups and whitelist.
• Users with impressive group ratio will not be monitored for monthly giveaways and dates if they keep a group ratio of 2 or above in real CV. These will be called Power Potatoes.

Current target users: 30
Target users can change depending on the demand.

All rules are subject to change while the group is starting. Please let me know if you have any suggestions regarding the rules. I want to hear different opinions, especially of people with higher experience with maintaining groups.

I will be away for the weekend and will come back to check the applications on Monday. First invites will be sent out then.
