Happiness for when your wallet is empty.

Mission

We've all been there. It's the end of the month and your wallet is empty.
There's no hope of buying any games now.... So what do you do?

The members of this group create a "giveaway" in the first week of each month, all scheduled to end on the last day of that month. We all get a shot at new games, and get to be flat broke at the same time.

This is meant to be a hassle-free giveaway group, without the constant need to check for newly created or soon-to-expire giveaways.

Rules:

Always follow the SteamGifts rules.
Members have until 11:59 PM EST on the 7th of each month to make their monthly giveaway. Without a valid giveaway or acceptable explanation at that time, you will be given a warning or removed from the group.
After creating your give away, post the link in the current month's giveaway thread.
New members joining after that months giveaway creation date will have 3 days to make their give away.
Giveaways must end on the last day of the month at 11:59PM EST.
Members must not place a Contributor Limit on their monthly giveaway.
Giving the same title as the previous month does not count as a monthly giveaway.
Bundle games[www.steamgifts.com] (generally marked with an asterisk * on SG) do not count as a monthly giveaway, regardless of whether key or gift. However, as we all know, Steamgifts is slow in updating the bundle list, so EotMG admin / mods may choose not to count giveaways that have been bundled but are not reflected on the Steamgifts master list.
DLC giveaways, regardless of cost, will not count as a monthly giveaway.
Duplicate giveaways do not count as a monthly giveaway. Please check the current month's giveaway thread before creating your giveaway to ensure it is unique.
Games on the unwanted list do not count as a monthly giveaway.
If on the 25th of the month a member is found to either be a non-participant or entirely inactive, they will be removed from the group to avoid definite re-rolls.

Any changes to the rules will be done democratically through the group discussion page.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

New management. Changes forthcoming.

1 November, 2014 - chairmankao | 2 Comments

DakotaThrice and Trex have graciously allowed me to take ownership of End of the Month Giveaways (EotMG).

The principle of giveaways created in the first week, ending at the end of the month, will continue to be the core. However, we expect to make some tweaks to ensure everyone is contributing to and enjoying a high quality membership.

A lot of time has passed since EotMG was last active ... not only will we be making some changes, some of you may no longer have high interest in continuing. As such, it will be easiest to start with a clean slate and ask that everyone re-applies via Steamgifts.

Estimated timeline (subject to change) for changes to come:

2014.11.01 - Announcement regarding coming changes.
2014.11.03 - Kicks to commence.
2014.11.04 - Steamgifts recruitment thread.
2014.11.08 - Soft launch of group for November. Recruitment may run in parallel.
2014.11.30 - Soft launch (November giveaways) completes.
2014.12.01 - Official launch. Clarification on any further tweaks as a result of the soft launch.

Group Disolve; Final Round

27 March, 2014 - spacejumper | 4 Comments

With less than half our intended members and lack of administration for various reasons

The group is now dissolving. (But see below!)

FINAL ROUND

We will do this month as the final round.
Anyone who has not made a give away FORTY-EIGHT HOURS from the time of this announcement will be removed from the group [myself included, despite my not using SG any more] This is to avoid possible thievery and definitely allow re-rolls through SG.

It was a fun year.
