lol, imagine if blizzard sent out beta invites like this...

Here's a SCII Beta Key!

Go to your Battle.net page and register now!

...If you think you are deserving.

Else, give it to someone who is.


I wonder how many people would actually give up their keys.


different situation

there are a limited amount of keys here!


There are a limited amount of keys everywhere.

If people thought they weren't deserving, they wouldn't nominate themselves or opt in or break their F5 keys on Facebook or jump through hoops just for the slim hope of being one of those lucky nerds. 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?

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.

I was watching the dark knight on hbo earlier, and this reminds me of the scene in that movie where the two ferries both have detonators to blow the other one up. If we take the Batman approach, someone will walk away with a beta key, and if we take the Joker approach, no one gets any cause people don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. This should be fun... lol

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.

uh, Blizzard can generate any amount of keys they want, but TL only has these to give out.

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

true, but what's the difference on this end? only a limited amount are being given out. the ressource is scarce, no matter what source it's coming from.

a. Blizzard can generate any amount of keys they want therefore they do not worry about those who are 'deserving' that will play the game extensively

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

I don't want to get a key. If nobody gets one that goes beyond my original purpose.

a. 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.

Blizzard's ability to generate an infinite amount of keys is irrelevant if they don't use those powers. 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.

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.
