This is the first month that I make a report for. So I hope this looks a bit decent.
I took some inspiration from other reports that I liked. (Like LeoTurambar's reports.)

At the end of April I joined Steamgifts and at the beginning of May I joined GGPlayers.
Because of that I'm seeing a lot of new and interesting games. I got so lucky in winning a few!

There was one game that I won on Steamgifts that I didn't receive. The gifter had made a mistake and had given the key first to a friend. But the gifter was first kind and said they would get me the game. Eventually they just blocked me on steam. That was very disappointing. But I like the forums and other wins went much better.


Steam Backlog SG Wins GGP Wins

May The 4th Be With You

It was my first time participating and I really liked the idea to motivate myself to play certain games.
I participated with a few more games that I hadn't won on SG, but I didn't end up playing those so I left them out.

Games won on the Steamgifts website

Games won on the GGPlayers website and discord

thats why ggplayers sound so familiar. Friend tried to get me to join them on discord but I wasnt about to create a gmail account for them when one of their admins is blacklisted. to much hassle with how many people there are. I know my luck and I dont have enough for fighting even a 100 people

On my laptop this time and your post is nice. Also welcome to the play a win event, I am an unofficial admin without any rights, so basically just a normal member who stalks the site to much

Eleonora Falcon

Hello again!
Yeah, GGP can seem weird. Lot’s of people think it’s a scam, but if it is, I haven’t found out yet. You do have a lot of chances in the discord to win games and even steam gift cards. Less people there and it depends on the hour of the day. The person doing the giveaways tries to change the time so everyone can have a shot on winning. Their philosophy has evolved and now resembles the philosophy of playing appreciated. So that’s also nice.

Thank you for the compliment and the welcome! It’s a really nice event. I do have a tendency to try and take a bigger bite than I can manage. So that’s also nice about the event that I can learn to be moderate and not push myself too much.

Yeah while my friend hasnt won yet they did say they trusted it and with that many people how can it be a scam, didn’t see a 1000 threads about how they should be sent to jail. Unfortunately the amount of work to join the discord and stuff is to much. I got so many emails addresses out there but I use 2, both not gmail which sucks.

Also plenty of people try to much, I remember before we had the site there was just this one person who had like 20 games planned then the next month (after barely getting like a quarter) still had over 10!

Eleonora Falcon

Wow, 20 games?! That’s a lot.
I hope I don’t get so ambitious.

Cece09

yeah it was something like that then i think they brought it down to 14 the next month claiming they shorted it yeah totally

Your post says “May” so I got confused for a second and had to check the date… “We’re in June, right? Right?

Eleonora Falcon

Yup, we are June 😋
But I wanted to make this for May. I’m also planning to make one for June. But it takes longer than I expected 😅

aonrao

Yeah I got that after reading your post but at first I was really confused haha.
It’s a great post though! It’s definitely worth the time and effort :)

Eleonora Falcon

Thank you! That’s very nice to read.

LeoTurambar

Nice report! And I’m sorry for the bad luck with that giveaway, luckily SG has lots of cool people :D

Eleonora Falcon

Thank you 💜
And it was disappointing but I got super lucky and later won a giveaway for that game again! 🥳
The second giveaway that I won for it even had all the DLC! So super lucky and happy about that. I didn’t put that in this report yet because the new giveaway was in June. But I’m planning on making a report soon.

LeoTurambar

Wow, good karma! :D
Nice nice, I will look forward the next report :D

Eleonora Falcon

I’m sorry, I totally forgot to give you credit for how the report looks.
I’ve added your name to it now so people know where I got my inspiration from 💜

My second report is live now. I’ve added another donut chart. I preferred the look of the ones you used (and that I used in this report) but the new ones have hover information. I couldn’t figure out how to do that with the others. The new ones look good in firefox, but I heard they look weird/small in other browsers. No idea how to fix that 😅 yet!

If there is anything that you like about my reports, feel free to use it! I have made a “sjabloon” post on my profile that has some different things on it. To make it easier to copy something if someone likes it.

Hope you have a splendid day!

LeoTurambar

Ahahah, don’t worry about that, I only feel happy if something I use looks good enough for someone else to copy, and that’s how things work here :D
I’m constantly looking for ways to make my reports more appealing, thus I will certainly look at your sources :D
Have a nice day too!
