How to start
How do I start?
First you need to be part of this group. Just sent a request to join and be patient, as I manage them manually. When your request is approved you will probably get a friend request from the bot. Or if you want you can anytime add the bot to your friendlist. You will be automatically accepted.
The bot will reply to chat commands. These commands always start with a '!' character. You can try !help to get a list of all the commands you can use.
To start idling just send the !checkgames command and the bot will give you a list with games you can idle. The bot have already checked your library, so all those are games that you don't have.
Then the bot will tell you to send the !idle command to start. The !idle command can also have an AppID with it (like !idle 55555) or the all keyword to get all the games displayed (!idle all). You will know which AppID is each game as when doing !checkgames the AppID will be shown next to the game name (between [ ], don't put those, only the number).
If you are a trusted idler, you also have the command !idlecount, with that command you can specify a quantity of games to idle and the bot will pick for you. Example: !idlecount 5


The bot says that I'm not able to trade without holds
This means that your trade offers will have a trade hold. This is probably caused because you haven't configured your Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator (or you just did it, in which case you need to wait a week to get rid of the holds). You can read more about trade holds here, and you can find more info about the mobile auth here.
As I need the cards in less than five days, I can't mess with trade holds, sorry.


Why I can only idle 1 game at time?
New users can only idle just 1 game at time. When you reach 5 idled games you will automatically become a trusted idler and the bot will let you grab up to 10 games at the same time.
If this seems slow for you, and you have a good rep on ST, feel free to contact me and I'll tag you as trusted.


How many days I have to send the cards back?
You have up to 5 days to send the cards back. Failing to do it in time will give you a strike. 3 strikes and you are out. (Or sort of, I can remove strikes if a user is trustable and have idled a lot of games in time previously)


How can I track my job?
If you send the command !status to the bot it will tell you which games are you idling and how many days left you have to finish it.


I've finished idling, how do I send the cards back?
You need to send the command !done to the bot. The bot will fetch your inventory and make a trade offer for you. Your job will be done as soon as you accept and confirm the offer.
Keep in mind that your inventory needs to be public (or friends only) to get the cards info.


When new games will be added?
I don't know. But you can always subscribe to this post as when I add new games I write a comment there. So if you subscribe you will receive a Steam notification every time I add new games to the bot.


The bot sent me a wrong key, what to do?
Just save your key and contact me. If all seems good and there are more keys available for that game I'll send you a new one. If there aren't more keys available I'll just remove your job from the bot.


I have some alts, can I use them?
Yes, I can register your alts to the bot so you only need to interact with the bot directly from your main. If you are interested, contact me on Steam or Discord and I'll add your alts and explain you how this works.


I have some leftovers and I'm looking for idlers
At the moment, I'm not taking key suppliers for my bot. Altough, this community is full of people that wants to idle games.
There's a section on the discussions called Idling requests where you can make a post telling other idlers what games do you have.
Make sure to read the rules of this section


I have an idea to make the bot better/I've found a bug
