In my experience you can't play any games if the person is already playing a game.

No way, Cartmanland the fucker
I just read the megagiver rule. How does a three month window discourage bundle trash? Wouldn't the fast expiry flood us with it?
Oh, and JaseC's acct. needs to be logged into the winner's PC first to enable family? Dayum!
Yo, can family members then idle cards on their own account? I may just set up multiple accounts for the free money then.

Oh, forgot that new 3 months rule. Feels more fair, so people that are continuously generous, of gaveaway a bunch of games on the sale are eligible.
Even if i wanted it, i couldn't enter. This makes things easier for me
So yeah, good luck to whoever wins this. Will love to see the reaction of the winner
EDIT: oh, and the key of Ballpoint i gave away was not claimed. If someone wants, PM me. i deleted the register post i sent to ModBot D:

He never plays games
You can't idle cards through family sharing.
Ehh sometimes Paypal lags. The other day I made 2 different 5$ purchases during the sale and was charged one immediately, but the other one didn't come in til 2 or 3 days later
hence why i said as a feature, not regarding jasecs giveaway

bad gameplay lol

That'd be awesome but I'm probably getting it on PS3. Weak PC and all. =/ As much as I want to get it on Steam due to a larger community, low pre-order price, and guaranteed post-launch support. And I'm not saying I couldn't run it for sure, I'm just not 100% confident.
EDIT: But hey, I just sold someone on the game, so that's good!
They want to discourage random game sharing with your internet-bros.
When I did it with my colleague, we basically put down some ground rules and times when he'd have access to my account, and it works fine.
Shit. Hope people don't think bad of me whenever they read "1 / 1 / 1" or "2 / 2 / 2".
At least I didn't write anything offensive. At the last second I decided not to insult myself in the gifts I sent to my email, which would have been weird for whoever won them.
In JaseC's case just stay the fuck away from Assassin's Creed and your golden.

Grim Heaper made Rob Liefeld smile. Rate up +1.
Yeah, right now I've got a single friend that he and I share our accounts with, and the general rule is if one of us isn't online it's free reign but if we hop on and the other is in a shared game to let them know if we were going to play something or not.
It works as an off-beat black comedy, but the last act of the film is too jarringly sentimental for my tastes. I expected better of Fletcher, frankly.

Pretty sure the ACs that use Uplay aren't shareable anyway.
Sadness.
Edit: Oh, hello, pattycake scene.
hmm thats weird. im sitting here afraid to spend any more money. cause I don't know what the hell is going on with paypal. my first purchase using paypal was on the 1st.. and no money have been taken out yet.
For this, ModBot needs a rule where you are not allowed to have given away a game within the last 24 hours.

If I do somehow win JaseC's raffle I'll give away 100 dollars in games because I won't have to buy many ever again Can you play someone's shared game while they're playing your shared game?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
First, 3 months is actually a lot longer than you'd think it is. But yes, I am aware that MEGAGIVERSONLY emphasizes quantity over quality, and unfortunately it's very difficult to come up with a system that does the opposite without having a substantial administrative burden.
There is a way around it. The first one has to start the game and then go offline in steam. Then the other one can play from the same library at the same time.

Oh that's alright. Hope you get the proper info soon
Yeah, I mean, the main problem is the integrated graphics I have. I know it's at least on the level of, if not better than, the cards in the minimum requirements. But still, with integrated you can never be quite sure. So I can't really afford to spend the $10 if I'm not 100% sure it'll run well.
Checked Modbot and these were unclaimed. Take them if you want em guys!

Question, what's the point in giving away trial keys through Modbot rather than bumping up your numbers.

Nah, it's the perfect Lost Planet 2. Another one of Capcom's underrated action masterpieces <3 It finally works on my PC so I should spend more time with that version, put a ton of time into the 360 version.
We haven't actually tested that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked.
just okay? you like that game a lot
He is 100 shades of colorful goodness.
Ah, well there's that. Whatever the restrictions in place there is no denying there is a lifetimes gameplay for someone incredibly fortunate. Given the sheer size of the library I'd doubt the paths of the winner and JaseC would often meet.
Try waiting til you see it taken out just to make sure, it shouldn't be longer than about 2-3 days from when you made the Paypal purchase. It seems that have been abit longer than that but I say wait it out til atleast monday or tuesday since it's the weekend and if it's still not out try giving them a call or hit up there support and try to find out what happened. They do take a long time at times for them to take out my money, but I haven't had it be as long as 4 days before. Never dealt witb paypal support so I don't know how that usually goes.
counts as a giveaway.
Overall I am really impressed with how the modbot has evolved over the years. I remember when it was a first-come-first-serve clusterfest. There's never going to be a perfect solution to some unique issues. I'm just grateful that everything is optional. The juniors-only is a nice touch too.
You should post your specs and let people tell you how it adds up to the steam requirements.
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 4800+
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: ATI 3850HD 512 MB or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 4 GB available space
Recommended:
OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7
Processor: Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
DirectX: Version 9.0c

Quiet a few people I've spoken to enjoyed the film overall so you may find that the last act doesn't drag it down too much. My ex says it's one of her favourites, which is just bizarre considering her predilections, but, hey, whatever. She's also the one who said Saoirse "fakes" her bubbly attitude and has a "weird face"... which is why we're no longer together.
