Edit:
Grats to Makavw on getting a key. The next time I give out a key in the same manner this thread will be updated and bumped once. Thanks for playing guys, I wish I had 300 keys to give to you all from around that area, but I don't. =\
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
- The magic post count that will receive a key.. hmm.. let's see I played a lot of starcraft 2 tonight.. and I am trying to think of a repeating number that often stuck to my head. Hmm.. okay.. I think I will be giving the key to the 60th response. That's approximately how long it takes to arm a nuclear silo in starcraft 2.
- 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 60'th reply after that original 60'th 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 you drop many nukes on your opponents, and if you don't play terran, maybe you always avoid the red dot on the ground. (Hint: press spacebar twice when you are alerted in game!)

Awesome, let's try. ^^
Thanks a lot for doing this.
|
No problem, so is everyone enjoying their morning on that side of the world? It's... 4 AM here. heh. x;
|
I do believe New Zealand was taken down from the list in the other thread. Just though I'd be a gentleman and put this up here (even though I don't have a key  )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hehe, its 11am here. coffee and some vods :D
|
10am here.
Nice, sunny morning.
|
I Re-added New Zealand. This is my last post. The 60th poster will be IP Checked by R1CH, there is a chance a US player could bomb it and ruin the 60th, and then the 120st <-- (Edit: I told you I was tired!) will be next checked. I expect you all to play nice.
I am dead tired and I doubt R1CH is up to check anyway.
|
|
|
Can I spam 60 posts in very short time and grab the key? lol
|
^ gl w/ that.
good night TL'ers, and good luck.
|
I bet we're gonna be sniped by non-eligible players and never get to 60 post. 
|
I mean, I just have to open 10 tabs on my browser with a post ready, and just click 'Post' on each tab when we reach 50 replies!
Unless everyone thought about using this, in that case, it's gonna be a lucky draw to seen who gets the 60th reply lol !
|
lemme give you guys a hand.
|
flood control will take care of that
|
|
|
lol, interesting idea.
Nah, i'll try to do it the old fashioned way.
|
Good luck to all who want a beta key
|
This should be interesting ;p
|
Indeed there is a flood control, nevermind. Funny contest, thanks Joey !
|
Meh I don't think we're allowed to double post much less pentuple (is that how you say 10x?) post...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Almost half-way through.
edit : what
|
nvm me just speeding things up glgl
|
It's moving quite slowly at the moment... I wonder how many people are sitting here hitting F5 over and over
|
ARGH! A frenchy posted. We restart at 0 now right?
|

Read the rules again

No way man... You've got competition...
- 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 60'th reply after that original 60'th reply and this will continue until we have a winner.
I'm not really understanding that... Can someone rephrase in a more clear way?
|
I'm fairly sure what it means is that after every 60 posts, if the 42nd of those 60 post wasn't spoiled, that 60th post wins. Not sure, though.
|
If an ineligible person gets the 60th post, then the competition will keep going until the 120th post etc

you got it
|
no it means if to 60th post is not eligible then 120th post wins etc.
|
Actually I think it means he was too tired and missed out changing the first "42" to 60.
|
Well I guess I'll stop posting now ...
Even though it's the first time I heard of that specific website and usually that doesn't fill me with confidence. Especially when it comes to reserving something.

GL I hope you can get a key from there!
|
So there's no significance to the 42nd post, then?

Nah don't stop posting. You can still go for the 60th post even if you aren't eligible for a key. I promise I won't rage too hard if you bump me out of that spot.
|
You know, those who are f5-ing it now should just post more. The longer you wait, the more people are going to notice it.
|
so the lucky one will be 1st post, page 4 right?
|
|
|
Yeah just post the moment someone posts after you... It keeps the thread moving.

/facepalm... WHY?!
I'm really hoping that it's a typo. It makes a lot more sense if he meant post 60 instead of 42... 42 is so random.

|
hmm so no Vietnam? Since im vietamese but oversea student in Australia 
|
I hope you guys are listening to suitably fitting music, I know that I am.
|
A beta key would be brilliant, thanks!

My teeth fell out in my dreams again, calling me woman and a half man.

I guess I'll try, there's no proof the website linked actually sends the key so yea ..
Please forgive me if it's all legit.

Soo, whats the deal now?
Waiting for Joey and Rich to wake up?
|
sorry but you didn't win =( the 42-nd poster was from the US, so the count reset
|
The contest was for the 60th post this time.
|
That is probbably a typo from the last competition where 42nd poster winned the key or spolied it
|
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 60'th reply after that original 60'th reply and this will continue until we have a winner.
seems pretty clear to me

wait yeah if we follow the original rules isn't this competition still open?

It is obvious that he forgot to replace that 42 with 60 because later on he says "after that original 60'th reply"
and it's not last on 3rd page because that would be 60th post, not reply. 60th reply is 1st on 4. page

No, it is not. 60th poster was from Croatia which is eligible country.

I wonder why Japan was not on the list. Is it possible to get a key in here?

Makavw is being IP checked.
That was my flub if it says 42 mixed in with the 60.
I was up from like.... 6AM the day before to 4AM EDT in a row without any cat nap in between, so yeah, if Makavw checks out that he is from Croatia... I think it said? (I'm STILL tired sorry a little slow on the up and up) than he will get a key.
|
Still alive and still in Croatia, and I also hope ... soon in Stacraft 2 
|
Joey when is it going to be third key and is it going to third be at all? I just want to know because I'm sad because i missed this contest . Gz Makavw
|
I am in the process of allocating more unused keys from my huge friends list on Bnet.
For now the answer is none scheduled (Plus I can't be up till 4 AM tonight anyway.)
Makavw Won the key, congrats. This thread will be edited and updated when another key giveaway is scheduled.
