Seriously, who thinks they are entirely undeserving and still want a key? Ken doesn't say that only the most deserving need apply. Merely "deserving" is good enough And I believe you think you are deserving because you talk about sc2 a lot and have great discussions like this? ComradeDover was just temp banned for 2 weeks by Plexa. That account was created on 2009-11-07 06:08:24 and had 132 posts. Reason: You've been pinged as an obnoxious and arrogant douche! Congratulations! | ||

For the record, that ban was for keeping a level head and seeing the big picture when everyone else was losing it and going into "WAHHH NERF ROACHES!!1!" mode. Yes. That makes me deserving. I don't bitch and complain about the balance of the game and don't look upon those that do with any pity. But, if you had been quite as observant in this thread as you have been into my posting history (lol), you would have noticed I already withdrew my nomination. | ||

If Blizzard didn't have a limited amount of keys to give out, then what would be all the fuss over beta keys? Like ComradeDover said, there's a limited amount of keys being given out and I bet very few of them had to pass through the 'deserving' filter. | ||

They could produce enough keys for every member of the world population. But they won't, and thus the total keys remain limited. | ||

b. Teamliquid cannot generate any amount of keys they want therefore TL must differentiate between those are 'deserving' and those who are not do you see something | ||

TL gets a limited number of keys and are trying to find those who are most deserving. Props to them. b. A random person gets a limited number of keys, typically one, and doesn't try to find someone more deserving than themselves. | ||

So long as there's someone out there who doesn't get a key, the number of keys are limited. Furthermore, if Teamliquid was truly interested in giving keys only to the deserving, these 50 or so keys in question would be handed out on a case-by-case basis to whomever the powers that be decide is deserving, or through more of those contests that have people jump through hoops to prove their worth. | ||

Yes. That makes me deserving. I don't bitch and complain about the balance of the game and don't look upon those that do with any pity. Fixed. Oh wait, that fix is a contradiction. That ban was for keeping a level head? I think your self-evaluation is about on par with your self-nomination. Now if only you could withdraw your evaluation the same way you withdrew your nomination. Somehow it doesn't seem to make a difference. | ||
