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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

H_B, if do end up putting me on the list, cross me out. There are probably way more deserving people than me. | ||

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! | ||

By going out you show at least some kind of integrity. This idea was genious, i giggled like mad :D | ||
