Edit: Contest is closed.
Grats to jPanic.
Next contest will be at... 4/29/2010 4AM EDT. I was originally pushing for 8PM tonight but apparently people want to sleep. I think this time period will be appropriate. I will be heading to bed at the time, and when I wake up I can look at the winner. (I am a night owl indeed...)
So that is roughly... 11 hours and 25 minutes from this posting.
I am informed on a previous thread here that I made that there is a list of countries that are not getting keys by a simple manner (5 bucks + preorder etc.) This is going to be a big deal during this contest.
Also, I am aware that you can change your country to be from anywhere, please be honorable and not cheat. I am trying to help people here from countries that cannot easily access keys grab a key, hopefully get some friend invites for themselves, and spread the love.
Someone from Team Liquid has been kind enough to make sure any submissions from the list of countries involved are authentic.
Okay, so here are the rules for getting this key:
- In the spoiler list below is a list of countries that are considered 'eligible' for this key
- I will be post counting in here, every 42 (it's the meaning of life right..? Starcraft 2 is life for most of us and it seemed appropriate, hah.. yeah.) I will check the 42'nd reply. If the 42'nd reply is checked to be from one of these countries you will get the key.
- If you are not in the list of countries you can try to spoil the key grab by replying. If you are the 42'nd reply and not from a country on the list, you will be skipped and the post count will start back to 0 and I will count the 42'nd reply after that original 42'nd reply and this will continue until we have a winner.
- Please note I have a means of checking your location through an admin on this website that is very handy with figuring this stuff out. If you are not from one of the countries on the list, please do not fake it, and waste my time with having to check as well as the TL admin assisting me.
- Also your account on Team Liquid must be older than Today. Just to prevent people seeing this thread and chiming in.

If something is wrong or off a little bit for the list, I apologize, for the next one I do I will correct the issue. I will probably end up reading every reply in this thread.
This should either be insanely nutty or the shortest contest thread ever. Either way, Good Luck.
And let me know what you guys think of this format, a little more RNG, a little less insane google ctrl+f.
Good luck, may the meaning of life be with you.

Pretty much, good luck everyone.
|
|
|
Nice idea, time for the F5ing to begin
|
|

|
Good luck to everybody who tries for this.
|
|
|

I don´t want to buy the f***ing censored version =(
|
Are you taking the 42nd post or the 42nd reply (ie. 43rd post)?
|
Good luck to everyone, unfortunately I cannot participate.
|
|
|
|
|
im pretty sure its the 42nd reply
|
42nd reply.
Megalisk's post was counted as 1.
|
|
|
Is there max post count from a certain user or spam rule?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can post as much as TL will let you. I am not restricting any post counts in here that would be silly.
|
|
|
Okay it's still not honorable of me to just post ~30 posts and gogogo  tnx
|
let's speed the process then.. +1
|
|
|
I'd be glad to get a key!

Checking 'jPanic' if he is not eligible after the check, the key process will continue. Feel free to cotinue to post until I get a confirmation.

You guys are way over 84.. I am still checking on 42, lol.
|
|
|
if it's post 43 (42nd reply) I think I won. if It's post 42 then I missed by one. Grats to hype if it's post 42.
|

|
|
|
|
|
i pretty much have nothing better todo than scavenge for keys.
|
|
|
Jpanic, I sent your name to R1CH, he's checking on your location as we speak ;O
|
Is the count resetted after the 42nd?
|
|
|
oh epic. Thanks, Joey. Scotland is pretty barren for beta keys
|
another 42? Now where did my calculator go
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I've got to try .. GL to the rest..
|
|
|
good for you jPanic. have fun Thanks for this Joey!
|
|
|
|
|
Aw no bet akey for me
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I presume there's more...
|
|
|
^ NP, like I said if he doesn't check out for some reason, the reel resets and I need to check on the next 42nd reply after his.
Also, I'm thinking about having a key for just the continent of Africa. Is it really true only the media has keys there? That's ridiculous.

- If you are not in the list of countries you can try to spoil the key grab by replying. If you are the 42'nd reply and not from a country on the list, you will be skipped and the post count will start back to 0 and I will count the 42'nd reply after that original 42'nd reply and this will continue until we have a winner.

OMDFG Jalex hit it twice... Jalex you are from UK and you will NOT get a beta key as i have understood
|
Okay
|

|

|

UK is on the list for jPanic... waiting for R1CH's response. Don't be so hasty guys, I'm sure this isn't the only thing Rich has to do all day, help people with key contests.
And there will be more.. I promise.

It is ridiculous indeed. Perhaps more people have keys now...but i doubt it. The main SA gaming site is quiet...www.mygaming.co.za

Then the key has its new owner already 
|
|
|
Not yet. We're waiting for R1CH to confirm I'm not from Ohio or something.
|
is it just 1 key u giveaway or a few more?
|
|
|
This thread is just a 1 key. I will be doing other threads. The next one may just involve 2 keys seeing the insane response I got from this one in this really short time period.
|
u gonna start the other threads right after this contest is over?
or u gonna start them tomorrow?
|
|
|
Congratulations jPanic if you got the key enjoy the Bnet...
It says first key giveaway... if there is a first there is a second . Hope for noobs!
|
well... I'm not noob, but I need a key =D
|
|
|
Yes, congrats jPanic. Enjoy the beta! Hopefully the rest of us will be joining you soon - one way or another!
Thanks also to Joey for organising the competition. My lawyers will be in contact with you shortly concerning the injury I received pressing F5 all the time
|
The next one will go up at 8PM EDT. <-- Consider that a promise to the community. It *WILL* happen at 8 EDT. but please note, it will not involve the number 42.
Still no response from R1CH - jPanic, hang tight I didn't forget your name and will be sending you a PM to keep in history.
This contest is not *officially* over, when it is I will reply and edit the first post of the blog.
|

Noted, and will update the original thread as promised.
Tuvalu will be added to the list.
Also roffles, isn't there a thread for TL'ers with over 500 posts? If you are trying to get a key, one is guaranteed right there for you bud. Something tells me you already have one though...
|
hey, I should have won... My post is 168th and that's 42+42+42! :/
|
Someone didn't read the rules correctly.
Information on the next contest and time is in the first page. If it's too early for some of you in EU, I suggest getting some sleep and waking up a little early!
|
ok. I saw the time yet, but what's the time NOW actualy? :D couse I don't have any idea what time should I get up  ]
|
ok, +6 hours... it's like 10AM, right?
|
|
|
Cool thread
|
my turn my turn my turn :D :D :D ? plz? :D
|
|
|
|
|
wth, were is US? jk but seriously where is Japan? Its harder to get the beta key in Japan than in france and Japan is not a communist country (One might think that this board is forgetting the Asian countries like Japan, Phillipines, etc)
|
what about other countries not on the list that cant get keys like in Asia?
