Awesome giveaways! Just entered my first with The Surge 2. Had a lot of fun with the first game and will surely get the second one later down the line. Would be amazing to win it!

Big thanks to blackMamba1187 for the Mini Metro key!

Embarrassingly it seems I already own it, so, as is tradition for the shamed I'll be passing it on (along with some other keys) in a short while.

What do you guys think about a 50/50 function?
A user giveaways 2 games (Bad Rats and MGSV), one user gets Bad Rats and the other Metal Gear but they don't know which until they redeem the key.

"No lurkers" means you have to have at least 5 posts in the thread the giveaway is posted in.
"Past day/hour" means you cannot have won a giveaway in the past day/hour.
You can check the add giveaway section, where they are all explained in more detail.
see, these exact things should just be in the OP to improve basic usability of this endeavor. Something to consider, Cerium

as someone else brought up already, the no lurkers option forcing people to basically spam 5 posts in here seems quite pointless and undesirable as it just creates post bloat? if it were one post you'd at least have a legit reason and say thanks to everyone donating keys for the giveaways but five? you say thanks and then just go "woo more thanks" "I can't wait to maybe win!" etc. Unless you find yourself in a FAQ scenario with weirdos like me :)

It's supposed to be used in the community threads to stop people from just coming in and sniping keys from people. It doesn't make sense in this thread but it's up to those doing the giveaways if they want to set it.

You should be able to see how many participants went for a particular game, and go from there :) either take the safer bet with smaller games or deal with lots of competition on the bigger ones. Other than that, it's really just chance and luck.
