Rules shifted, new people stepped in, and strange new concepts were introduced that, well, to be frank didn't fit into the "GIFTING" spirit. I think at this point everything needs a good polishing, and I say it's time to fix it up. This is a new age of rules to make the GGT more like the prior, with less idiocy that makes an elder such as myself frown upon what the GGT has become. All slates are wiped. No one cares how much you've gifted before, this is a new age. Your reputation restarts now. What will you get yourself labeled after you've had a chance at new?" [B]Our Rules[/B] [LIST] [*]1. Don't beg. Under any circumstances you're to remain patient about your request. Once every 3 pages at best, because if we're going to chat and be friendly, we don't want to see somebody constantly asking for something. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]2. Don't you dare spam. I'm sick and tired of it already. Everyone's been spamming for some stupid reason like "LET'S KILL THE THREAD" or "RAFFLE ENDS AT PAGE 50 GOOGOGOGO". Stop it. It's retarded. Make the most of the thread, don't just act like a mindless idiot. We may be in fast threads but that doesn't mean we're obligated to go super fast. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]3. Changing the outcome and winner of raffles is perfectly acceptable. You do not have to get permission from anybody to do this. Everybody who participates in raffles should remember, as they failed to do so many times during my own raffles, that the host is spending their own money. The host decides how they wish to spend their money, and if they think a winner does not deserve their hard earned cash then it is their right to tell them so, and to change the winner. You must remember that you are not entitled to anything just because random.org spat a list out with your name at the top.. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]4. No trading in the thread, the marketplace is elsewhere. I don't know who thought trading in a gifting thread was a good idea (cough, jobby) but it shouldn't be here. However, I'll put an acception if you do it through PM's. If you're desperate for getting something state it, and let someone who is willing to trade with you PM you. This is an experimental rule so I don't expect you to know the tricks of it just yet. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]5. If you came here expecting to get something for giving, you're mistaken. This thread is simply to be a good person and you are not owed for gifting. If you are a karma seeker or a gift giver than hello! One thng I've noticed is that people think just because they've given a lot of stuff they are therefore entitled to get something from it. Not here. It may help your reputation, but you shouldn't find it as a job. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]6. No Drama. That can be done through PM's not the thread. If we wanted to have drama this would have been named the drama making thread, but it isn't. Frankly, as entertaining as it is, it's just an eye sore especially in a thread that promotes peace. Pm logs are okay though. Just as long as if you've got something to say about it you PM that person. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]7. Want to make the new thread? Go for it, just make sure with Pascall, Reecematee, TheBrokenHobo, Makol, or Murdoco that it’s a-ok. We don’t want multiples of threads goin’ around. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]8. Don’t have fake raffles or fake gifts. Really? That’s just mean. Usually it just takes up pages too and even after it’s revealed to be fake, people are still wanting to participate. So just don’t do it. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]9. Want your own "trading emporium" in the OP? PM Pascall. She'll determine if you have enough trading goods to open up your own. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]10. Don't be ungrateful. This speaks for itself. If you get a gift, say thank you or SOMETHING. This is really just common courtesy. Don't be a prick. [/LIST] [IMG]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7093/jthm.png[/IMG] :siren:[B][U]GGT Staff Members[/U][/B]:siren: -- Pascall -- Makol -- Reecematee -- TheBrokenHobo -- iWhatIsLove -- solid_Jake -- Jobby [IMG]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7093/jthm.png[/IMG] [B]Frequently Asked Questions:[/B] [B]Q: What is a "leecher"?[/B] [I]A: Leechers are those who NEVER EVER contribute in any way and all they do is beg for games in every post in the threads. They don't even bother to talk to people, just beg. These people shouldn't receive gifts, nor should they be able to participate in raffles, so look out for them. But it is ultimately your choice if you want to gift them or not.[/I] [B]Q: What is a "beggar"?[/B] [I]A: While the term "beggar" is really loose in this new string of threads, a beggar is basically the same thing as a leecher, only they simply spam their request over and over and over acting like nobody has seen them. If you see one of these people, just tell them to slow down on their posting. If they keep doing it, then just ignore them.[/I] [B]Q: What can I do to contribute?[/B] [I]A: Anything! Chat with others, be friendly, gift, draw people things, help people out with issues they may have with games or with Steam. Anything you can offer the thread is very welcome. :][/I] [B]Q: What's with all the different GGT threads?[/B] [I]A: There was a lot of drama recently with people arguing over the ownership of the thread. In the new GGT, everyone is an equal owner and everyone who is active is free to make the thread when the time comes AS LONG as they make sure with myself (Pascall) that it's alright, that way we don't have more multiples. I'll usually choose the next thread maker towards the end of the thread. Just make sure you're an active poster and you'll have a chance to make a version of GGT.[/I] [B]Q: How do we hold raffles?[/B] [I]A: Raffles can be done in various ways, depending on what you feel like doing! Most of the time, people ask the participants to pick a number closest to one of the raffle holder's choosing and whoever is closest wins. Sometimes people just put participants' names into [/I][URL="http://randomizer.org/"][I]randomizer.org[/I][/URL][I] to choose the winner. But you can get as creative with raffles as you want as long as you don't make it so difficult that no one can participate! Well, you CAN, but don't expect a lot of participants.[/I] [B]Q: What should be included in a banner?[/B] [I]A: Banners are best when they include your Steam name. (Pictures and art make them look cool!) Just take a look at some of the already existing banners and you'll get an idea of what you should include. Use it for game requests or just a "high my name is.." kind of thing. Be creative.[/I] [IMG]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/7093/jthm.png[/IMG] [B]THE NAUGHTY LIST[/B] These are the people who you really shouldn’t gift for one reason or another. They’re either trolls, ungrateful people, or have cheated or lied in a raffle or while holding a raffle. ------------------- -None ------------------- Things that will get you on the NL: Breaking any of the rules above will get you NLed.

Yay new thread smell
Minor disaster avoided!

Sorry for the delay guys..I left makol in charge of making next one and his modem shat bricks.
Why is Baggerbean on the naughty list?
ftw
[QUOTE=Murdoco;23375896]Sorry for the delay guys..I left makol in charge of making next one and his modem shat bricks.[/QUOTE] pretty much, when I walked over to it no lights were on and it wouldn't turn on at all. something caused it to short out... great timing too. for now on I should put a copy on my iPhone next time I'm OP, lol
[QUOTE=Rammaster;23375912]Why is Baggerbean on the naughty list?[/QUOTE] For no reason. Jobby just voted and assholes voted agree.

But, it has to have the following implimented into it:[/I] [I][U]Me (Baggerbean). A disaster. A solution to that disaster. The day being saved. [/U][/I] [B]How long do we have to send this story to you?[/B] [I]The time is not specified yet. As I realise that people who entered might not be on at this exact time. I guess we'll see.[/I] [B][U][I]The story will be marked out of 70 points, if no one has reached 100 points by the end of the raffle. I will ask questions (more rules on that as it happens).[/I][/U][/B] :siren:[B][I]So once again, that's it. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE PM'D TO ME[/I][/B].:siren: [/quote]
[QUOTE=Makol;23375890]my modem shorted out :saddowns:[/QUOTE] No problem, I was here. Also the divider would've been broken anyways I needed another link for it. [editline]11:08AM[/editline] I feel lazy writing an entry man.
eh, I'm off to bed. I'll worry about my modem later.

I'm going to bed. I'll continue this story tomorrow, Baggerbean. It's almost done and I got most of it written. It's like 4 pages now with 2373 words. Good night!
Okay people, I have a dilemma. Most of my stupid Mw2 buddies have got the Resurgence DLC, however I had the brains to go and get minecraft instead, but I would like to play with them. If somebody is nice enough They would make me very very happy by getting this for me. [img]http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3136/3bipolar.png[/img]
I'm finally of school now :dance: (Well I got off yesterday after a bloody church service but I didn't have the chance to post)

Great. Just found out my 2 and a half paged story was not sent through Baggerbean because of my stupid internet that was playing up on me. It gets worse, I didn't save it either. Will rewrite it tomorrow, Farewell GGT, for now.
I will die in the next 10 secs if i don't get hl2:ep2.
