That being said, this thread is hilarious, and out of respect and appreciation for that fact, I'd like to cross my name off the list. Well played, TL! | ||

It's not like withdraw and smb but not you will have better chances to receive a key. It's like withdraw and self-nominated ones will have better chances than some other ones. I start thinking that withdrawing is the right way to go if we do not consider the fact the chances of number dropping below 10 are like 1 in 100000 (this way you should withdraw to encrease your reputation). P.S. and plz erase from the contest 1-to-10-posters. It would put the remaining one under more pressure. I'm not sure I get Cheerio's point (probably just a reading fail on my part): You seem to be pointing out that if no-one else withdraws, the keys will be given to a non-self-nominee (which I *think* you're in favour of, from the tone of your post), but then you suggest that more people should withdraw, and even advocate removing the low postcount nominees, thus making it more likely that the key(s) will go to a self-nominee (which from what I can gather you don't want?) Sorry, I'm just not following. Late night last night's fried my brain I think. Kev edited to include quote, since a million other people managed to post in the time it took me to type this | ||

Guys: do you want a beta key? PM all other partecipants and ask to form a group (2-3 persons per group) it will reduce by 2/3 the number of people..hoping this would be enough. If everybody remains on selfish position no one will have the key + Show Spoiler + i suppose this: if they will not reduce enough the people number the persons who shows hisself as really low selfish(crossing their name) will get a key! | ||

Yes, because people who registered solely for the purpose of winning the key have a profound attachment to this community and care deeply about what its members think of them. | ||
