This reminds me of that one reality show where a bunch of people was locked down underground until they all decided in unanimity which one person would win the money prize. I dont remember how that show ended, but i guess no one won in the end because of the human nature :D

I'm staying on the list because even though I haven't posted that much on TL, I'm a long time lurker and old school SC player that spent his time organizing SC LAN events every other weekend back in 98-99 back when the game and the "scene" was not nearly as impressive as the one we have now. I think I've done my share for the community in the past, even though admittedly it's got nothing to do with TL. So I'd like a chance to play the sequel on my own beta account (currently have a friend's that lets me play his account very late at night but that does not agree very much at all with my family obligations).

Sue me for being selfish -_-

it seems you have nothing to gain at all by crossing off your name.

this kind of game only works when everyone is a part of a whole or team and the object to be won could somehow benefit the whole but not oneself directly.

there is no incentive whatsoever in this contest to voluntarily cross your name off.

If roughly half the users have stayed in the competition so far, and there are 100 left... I doubt TL has more than like 5 keys for this competition.

You get some amount of mental closure and earn a measure of admiration from your peers. Everyone who has opted out has been received rather well.

If everyone stays in, nobody will get a key, so you could say you have nothing to lose by opting out.

What?

Nvm, it sounded better in my head. Well, cross me off the list since I probably deserve it the least. Good luck to the rest.

Heh, thanks for that man! H_B, if do end up putting me on the list, cross me out. There are probably way more deserving people than me.

Ah what a dilemma. This social experiment is essentially "selfishness gets rewarded as long as only a minority does it". Same lesson in all of them really.

Regardless, I visit sites daily to get a beta key and have participated in more contests than I can remember. I want a key and I won't pretend that's not why I nominated myself. Thank you all you kind people who decided to withdraw. Wish me luck!

If it were up to me you in particular wouldnt get one. If it turned out that you WERE chosen to get one, I would give away my own if it meant that you wouldnt get it.

noone will get a key, over 20 stated they will not drop allready. By going out you show at least some kind of integrity.



This idea was genious, i giggled like mad :D

I've got a better idea. You could use this keys to create TL shared accounts, which password recoveries etc. so it won't get stolen, and everyone could play on those accounts by signing into queue?

I like how I recognize the names of a lot of the people who opted out but don't have a clue who those that doesn't want to bail out are
