This thread, however, is a chance for you to redeem yourself. Redeem themselves from what? There's nothing wrong with nominating yourself in a contest like this, especially when it was explicitely said it was okay to do so. I don't see people who got their very first beta keys giving them out to more deserving members of the community. People who don't have beta keys and didn't get nominated stand a better chance by self-nomination than no nomination at all. This patronizing attitude rubs me the wrong way.
It's just wrong to nominate yourself :p
The was called "Nominate SOMEONE to win a beta key". And then there were all these low postcount posters who went on and nominated themselves.
How do you call that in English?
Leechers? :p

There's a limited amount of keys and the whole point of the contest is to find out who's the most deserving. The idea is to self-nominate if you think you deserve it.
So why do you deserve it? What have you done to deserve it more than a hundred other people?
What you're saying is you did it because a 0.0001% is better than 0%. This isn't a fucking lottery contest. Others deserve it more than you and you know it.
Check the list again, I didn't nominate myself. I'm saying there's nothing wrong with those who did and could justify it, even those who couldn't justify it don't deserve the ridicule.

Someone could be = Yourself
If those new members could justify it somehow, then hey, they deserve a shot. It doesn't mean they'll win, that's up to whoever's judging this thing. The mere fact of nominating yourself isn't inherently wrong.

So much butthurt going on here
SO MUCH BUTTHURR
|
ther wont enough players say no ^^ no chance ^^
|
What's going to happen is that keys will go to people who opt out.
I love these kind of social experiments.

why so much hate for the ppl that actually had legit reasons for nominating themselves especially when the OP of the original thread said it was OK to nominate YOURSELF..... i really just dont get it. To all the people that had one post tho, well you can just ........
EDIT: and just so its known, i dont even want the key for myself, i want it for someone else who will enjoy it immensely, tbh right now i have too much going on (starting a business)/not a decent computer to have my own key, but if my small contribution can be beneficial to someone i know then i will try.

Just a test. Probably to weed out the greedy ones from the nice ones. This one is probably also a test to see who's still greedy even after being warned. I don't foresee them giving keys to random 1 post users who signed up just to beg for a key. It could happen, but I just don't see it as very likely.

why are people talking like "such and such is more deserving." c'mon dudes, in the grand scheme of things, is anyone that deserving? who cares if they're "more" deserving.
thinking that one's self or someone else is deserving is a delusion created by those that want to believe they can do enough good in this world to win a prize for it.

So... you won't be withdrawing then?

For other peoples sake I will withdraw myself from the competition, I hope the keys will be handed out to a few lucky TL'rs
|
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! =D. I thought I wouldn't get the key. I do want the key and THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH TL!(did I say that already?.... o well)
|
I would nominate myself in an instant if i were in need of a key.
There is nothing wrong with that.
There is no truly selfless act, only people who try to live up the their social standarts, so dont act like you are better then the ones you call "greedy".
I doubt that enought people will crack under the social pressure and stand down from the competition. There is just no valid reason to do so in a online forum.

Now I've been pretty much on hold since the first beta keys were out, not playing any starcraft and not even watching half the vods I used to. I love playing starcraft seriously and I want to continue doing so on SC2, probably for another 10 years or more. Now I haven't complained much about not getting a key even though alot of RL friends got keys and they don't even play starcraft the way I do. Sure I've made small posts on tl like "gif key plxx" but that's just as a joke. If blizzard wants me to wait for the game to come out for me to play it... so be it, I can wait (and wait and wait and...)
wow dude, 10 years of starcraft? i'm glad you didn't nominate yourself, you should give someone else a try.
you've already had 10 years of it! how much more selfish can you be?!

What if there is a different strategy. What if there is a plan to clean up the unworthy newcomers to TL by banning everyone who's name isn't crossed out on that list?
