That's just what he wants you to think.
So I have a dumb question about ModBot giveaways.
Am I correct in understanding that one is not eligible to win a raffle until they have first given away games via ModBot themselves? And a Junior can not create a ModBot raffle?
I think I goofed and entered a couple Shiva giveaways.

A junior can create a modbot raffle.
Not being able to win unless you've given away a game is one of the rules that can be implemented when you create a modbot posting. see here for more details
It depends on how the giveaway is set up.
To make it fair for Juniors, some setups can be made so only juniors can enter.
Similarly, it can be set up so only those who have given away a game can enter.
You can set it up so people can only win once a day.
etc.
you can do giveaways as a junior

It depends on the rules that the person doing the give away adds to their modbot giveaway. If the person doesn't want Junios to enter, you should actually be able to see that in their giveaway text unless they remove it before pasting.
You can see the full list of options here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=617641
Edit: Beaten
Depends on the person doing the giveaway. They can limit it to only full members, junior members or impose no restrictions as far as I know, though juniors can do giveaways just fine. And na you don't have to have given a game away to enter, again unless if the person doing the giveaway has specified that as a restriction.
Edit: Not just beaten, annihilated.
Better than booting up uplay

With the amount of complaining over the free weekend games that appear in peoples' libraries, I can only imagine that the lawsuits brought about by this sort of April Fools joke would bankrupt Valve and make an oPlay-only (Origin/uPLAY) future all-but certain.
Unraring now. Will probably stick around for a while after my tests (15,16,17) and exams (31 April)

Since we're talking about modbot, here are some Humble leftovers:
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

There's a bit of a social contract when it comes to this stuff. Givers are happy to share with the community, on the condition that the community aren't dicks about it.
The giver receives a sense of happiness knowing that something they've given will be enjoyed, and the receiver gets to enjoy the given thing while also feeling a sense of community with others. It's win-win.
When a giver gives Bad Rats, or when a receiver takes without giving back, either in thanks or in kind, it breaks that trust and sense of community.
It's part of being a member in a civil society, and the STEAM thread is one of the last bastions of civil society on the internet.
Just be cool, man.
Sent a ticket to Playfire support about some missing rewards a couple of days ago and haven't heard back yet, which is annoying since now I'd have to add 2 Type Rider rewards :/ (those are worse, because the achievements were properly detected as they appeared on the Achievements tab on time and everything but the rewards never triggered).
Took me 2 tries the first one I thought using the jetpack would be a good idea XD
Fuck Flappy Goat though, I'm not getting past 7
This.Hang Glider takes 3 seconds. Climb to the top of the crane, stand on the edge where the person was sitting (you knocked him off, didn't you?

Depends, if you plan to get all of them probably no since more than a few will be hard and/or time-consuming and you have a week in most cases to get them.
Nah. Its considered a badge of honour, a recognition of your entrance into the gilded halls of STEAM, a veteran of battles (sales), to receive Bad Rats from a giveaway.
Other than that, yeah I agree
are you studying in Singapore, NUS?
lol I'm not sure whether I should start ><
(I really wanna play this on the Vita instead)
NUS yeah. Engineering is weighing me down, plus I'm overloading this sem.
Hold on now, Bad Rats is the greatest gift someone can give. Other than that, spot on.

Chaos Theory is so great, and I love how the scroll wheel works, I actually tried playing the Splinter Cell HD Collection since it has Pandora Tomorrow in it(doesn't work on modern OS) and it just felt so weird half tilting the analog stick instead of using the scroll wheel, felt a lot less precise.
But yeah, Chaos Theory.
So freaking good.
Even if you got an STD, it still means you got laid. #NoRegrets

To be honest, I'd enter a giveaway for Bad Rats. As much as it's mentioned in here, how could you not?
Thanks Nabs! Time to build bridges.
That's the spirit. Might as well get the inevitable over with.

nice.. I'm in the Faculty next to you (FASS). hahaha. final year.. but doing my Honors Thesis (History) next sem... currently busy with my Theatre rehearsals... gah
but PSO2 (I have yet to even start on GW2)
Or or to save needless and unnecessary steps just create a shortcut and amend the launch parameters in the target field. Even allows for unique launch icons as well if you want to go that way.
Personally I wouldn't use a batch file if you're going to using the same values every time. If you wanted flexibility or selection options then they can be quiet powerful still but for just doing the same job each time it seams like an unnecessary step.

Speaking of Modbot, am I the only one who calls it Muddbutt? I can't help myself. Believe me, I tried.
No problemo.

Words to live by. And not just for Modbot
who is apparently allergic to me when picking the winners.
EDIT:
Has anyone had any experience with this? I loved the online modes for the earlier games. Does this relate more to those games, being 3rd person, or is it closer to the less-tactical, more radical Advanced Warsomething games?

Ahh damn, I just realized I never got credit for linking my steam profile to playfire. Off to support I go
Does it require uPlay?
Good luck, I'm still waiting for transferring credit from a request back in mid March. :/

More than likely, if I win something, I'll be re-gifting. :lol
But I can't resist entering a raffle for a mystery prize... what if it's something on my wishlist?!

Random weirdness: Apparently JaseC played Sleeping Dogs. I mean... actually played it. He holds the record on my friends list for consecutive vehicle rammings at 30.
I hope my goat simulator credits come in soon. I have until noon tomorrow to maximize my savings. D:
Yeah, they were mailing out codes tied to our account. I don't know if everybody gets one or just some of us.

Yes. Every internally-developed Ubi title since AssCreed 2 has required Uplay or an Ubi account, with the exception of Rayman Origins.
