I've entered 155 giveaways as of this writing and have not won a single one. Bit disappointing, really.

It won't give you extra starting points.  Neither will donating games.

Well... Sort of. Everyone gains the extra points from donating games though.

Not quite.  You don't get any points for the games you put up. It was made this way to prevent the jackasses that kept making fake giveaways to gain more points.

If you are willing to use an invite on an Escaped Lunatic, I'd really appreciate one.

Thank you kinseti.

And apparently, thanks to this thread, I have been recaptured.

Has this just been 22 pages of people requesting invites?

I second the lock. We aren't getting anything productive done here anymore except lowering everyone's collective chance of winning a single giveaway.

We can just ignore them :P I mean, it's a nice way to advertise private giveaways, if one is into doing such things. One of these days I might gift away a few copies of IL2 Sturmovik 1946 :P

You are right, this thread has turned into a thread for invites. I've been putting off requesting one for quite awhile now, as I don't like begging.

Perhaps a new thread could be made, one where people offer gifted games (either directly or through lottery) for an invite.

On the other hand, I don't understand why this thread should be locked. If people want to ask for an invite, and someone is willing to give it to them, why should we get in the way?

snip
I see nothing wrong with members asking for an invite. I don't like seeing Escaped Lunatics asking for them though.
As for your idea about making a new thread, trading games or money for steamgift accounts goes against the steam rules and can get your account banned. It's also not worth it considering how hard it is to win public giveaways

I didn't know that went against the rules, thanks for saving me some potentially very painful embarrassment.

I don't bother with steamgifts anymore so I just converted all my accumulated points to invites.

It made me very happy that minutes after I asked if anyone had an invite here, someone sent me one. Of course, I have been on the forums for a couple of years so not exactly an Escaped Lunatic (they never caught me, you know  8) )
