Wish there was some way to pay them back. You could pay them back by telling Hot_Bid to cross your name off of the list. | ||

Paying them back would be either winning the contest and giving one of the sacrificers a key or making the contest fail so that the sacrificers could possibly get a second shot at the key. And a sacrificer isn't necessarily deserving either, but whatever. | ||

Yeah I know it is, I remember the loads of viewers and hype back watching the old CPL's. Offtopic but what I really dont understand, is WHY in starcraft do you guys write ESPORTS in all capital letters??? | ||

i really need one! iam gonna stay in the contest! + Show Spoiler + people maybe you should sometimes think about asking "WHY?" for example WHY is Hot_Bid doing this? Where is he going with it? What are his intensions? the most likely explanation (at least to me) is that in the end, the keys will be given to some of the people who chose to WITHDRAW. because they are the ones who learned their lesson. i honestly doubt that any of those green dudes that chose to stay in it will get a key. i might be wrong but this is the only thing that actually makes sense. i really cant stand selfish people. very few can. and there is a very good reason why that is the case. so THINK before posting damnit! edit: and dont be selfish. this is supposed to be the greatest sc community ever! edit: iam not on the list. i thought that was obvious after reading the contend of this spoiler 8/ . | ||

You are "wron". He said on page 3 that this isn't the case, and your pathetic attempt to get people to opt out to increase your own chances is incredibly transparent. | ||

To clarify, some people deserve to lose and maybe get a few sighs from the community (and they have in the nomination thread), but they don't deserve to be forced into partaking in this Saw scenario. | ||

Those are the ones that will never again contribute to the site, and simply have no care for the ramifications of being hated by this community. Having the rest of us leave is simply a boon for them, because they will receive their keys and their intentions will have been resolved. If anything, the people that do care about justified distribution of keys should stay in to prevent this. Um. You have 8 posts on this website. Your first post was to nominate yourself for a key in the original thread. The other 7 posts have been in this thread defending/justifying yourself. As someone who has contributed absolutely nothing to this community, your judgemental tone of others doing exactly the same thing you are, is pretty hypocritical and amusing, to say the least. | ||

I have already explained that this contest was the spark to finally create an acct on this site. I have not denied that I have made no contribution to the community; in fact, most of my posts describe my rationale to why I am still in this contest even though I have done nothing in the past. Where you are wrong is that in the post you quoted, I describe the people who have done less than I have. I specifically said that there are people that have made one or two posts to confirm their stay in the contest, and will do so at the time stated by Hot_Bid. They provide no reason as to why they are deserving, and simply declare that they want one. Like I said, these are people who do not care about what the community thinks of them, and will not return afterwards. Like you said, I have defended/justified myself, at the very least contributing that much, unlike the people I "judge". It may be amusing to you, but it is certainly not hypocritical. | ||

Correct. Didn't even bother to do as little as I have, which is apparently "nothing". | ||

Will be interesting (or not, depending on your view), to see how this turns out. But it does show how much in demand those Beta keys are. | ||
