This will officially become the greatest contest in TL history if everyone still on the list at the end gets banned

Should make it that: "6. If there are too many people still on the list after 48 hours, nobody gets any."
AND
everyone still on the list gets banned. Then at least there is a chance people get some keys cause.

Again, this is a thread that I think is simply asking those who have already self-nominated themselves to reconsider if they are truly worthy of receiving a beta key.

How much has one contributed back to the community? Is one just staying in hoping he/she will get lucky and win a key besides the fact that he/she has not contributed much to the community? I think these are important questions to consider for everyone on the list.



You actually end up on my list of few who I think might deserve it more than other self-nominators back on page 29. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Well, of course, I think I deserve a key because of the reasons that I already provided in the previous thread. My opinion is obviously biased though since I nominated myself and anyway it's not up to me to judge whether I deserve one or not. It's up to Hot_Bid and the other moderators. How they view how much I contributed will be what's important in determining whether I get a beta key or not. Regardless, however, thank you for putting me on your list.


I wish it were up to them, because then it would be more fair. I have no problem with not getting chosen because someone else is more worthy than I am. But now that it's in the hands of those who have self-nominated out of desperation for the key, our hopes are almost shot. There are a lot of desperate people out there.

What's good about this whole thing, though, is that even if you and I don't get keys, we'll still be doing our best to contribute with what we have anyways. Others won't even look at this site again.


I absolutely agree and its those people that are the ones that are going to ruin this opportunity for others unfortunately.


I think you should probably end up on that list I put too, because as someone mentioned before, you do show promise to be something good in this community. And I think that you do understand the concept of more deserving people getting keys over us. I'm with jgju in hoping you stick around. Cheers

I'd like to remain on the list

I'm just wondering what makes one "worthy" of a beta key. Does it have to do with how much you've contributed to TL? Beacuse i know i haven't... Though i nominated myself for other reasons.

Original post:

+ Show Spoiler +
Like most of the people here, i too would like to nominate myself.

I started playing BW 8 months ago, after finding out about how huge the community was and the proscene in korea. Finally i had someone to look up to, to idolize, something i never did playing pub games in TF2. So i took the first baby steps, playing 3v3 BGH games just to get used to the mechanincs, before starting playing for real in 1v1 games

After 3 months i had hit C- for the first time, and it is soon after this i joined my first and only clan, Avatars of Victory. There i recieved tremendous help and the joy of having teammates really boosted me as a player, something i have never experienced ever in a computer game.

Now i've hit C+ and continuously improving. Sadly, with SC2 beta out, most of my team members have completely abandoned BW to play the beta instead, and as a result there are very few people online nowadays.

I would very much like to get a beta key, so that i once again can meet up with my clan mates and keep improving as an rts gamer, and also feel the joy of playing with friends. Which frankly are the only friends i have that plays starcraft. Now, i feel very lonely whenever i enter the abyss server...

Yours sincerely, BoomJinx[AoV]


If i get a beta though, i'll help out in the community anyway i can.
Underpromise, Overdeliver.

This contest isn't even about who's the most deserving or not when the only person who can remove you from the list is yourself. It's a cruel design to a contest, the organizers lose more respect from me than the participants. It's not cool to have fun at the expense of others. If you really think the community can sort itself out to leave only the most deserving participants in the list, you're being incredibly naive.

Indeed, the only ones who will be getting keys are the most shelfish people who'd rather have no one getting a key than not getting one yourself. THAT BEING SAID i'm still going to remain on the list. But i am still as surprised as you the way the organizers decided to deal with this. I'm also sceptical if we'll be able to coordinate this using a forum...

A raffle would've been more fair. Then that defeats the purpose of motivating why you would nominate yourself.

If I don't see hope for anyone on the final list who I feel deserves a key, then I plan on staying in because I'd rather none of us get the keys than for them to go to some selfish, greedy pigs.

At least that way the keys can be recycled toward people who better deserve them, chosen by the moderators. Then we can be certain they will actually go to people who benefit this place.

Doesn't even need to be moderators, all it takes is one or two well trusted people to go through the posts and then decide. Beacuse i'm guessing the mods are too busy with other stuff than to deal with this. Shouldn't be too hard though, most of the posts here are people saying "i wanna stay on the list!!!". I wonder how many people actually bothered to motivate why they should be getting beta...

Frankly, I don’t understand purpose of the self-elimination system: it’s a lose-lose situation in both cases, either you stay or leave. But, you have much more chances to get the ‘prize’ by staying than leaving. So, thanks for the reminder, Hot_Bid – I’m staying.

Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't seem like many other people have gone through the posts. And a ton of those people who are saying "I wanna stay on the list!!!" just do so to ensure they aren't auto-kicked. They have no regard for the situation they're putting everyone else in.

Lol IndecisivePenguin is making this contest interesting. By staying in just so others can get it, he's bringing out the worst that this contest has to offer. Instead of trying to help a noob who may or may not contribute to the community (who could be incredibly grateful to the community for receiving a beta key), hes going to prevent anyone from getting it. What a d-bag move.

New Rule:
All users who have opted in will have to post in the final two hours to confirm their opt in. This will be to remove all users who simply opt in and never read the thread again.
