A GOOD thing came out of this though, I did finally get the balls to sign in on what might be the best SC community. (Atleast that's what it seems like since everyone refer to this site) So, shame about no key :-( But Yay to being a part of the community :D | ||

1) hot bid has mentioned in previous posts that the number is higher than people were expecting 2) hot bid also mentioned that this would not detract from the 10 keys being given to people who were actually nominated I have had a hard time determining where the keys came from given that out of the 50 keys TL got 10 go to nominees, 8 went to staff, 12 went to newbies, 10 to veterans, 5 went out in the showmatch, 3 have already been given out via scavenger hunt/ r1ch's challenges. Clearly the keys are coming from somewhere else unless there were only 2. My guess is that there were 20 or 15, although hot bid's post ab skytom (that he shouldn't have pointed out that he was still opted in) could mean that it might have actually been 25 | ||

How depressing. You must be a big hit at parties. Remember that 50 of us opted out by choice, some of us immediately when we saw the opportunity to help our fellow man. I don't buy into this "human nature" nonsense. | ||

It doesn't even make sense to try to get on the list because 1) the contest is over 2) even if it was not over, adding your name to the list means everyone is more likely to fail 3) there is no use to add your name to a list of people who did not receive anything There is no benefit to being on the list anymore. Thanks. MAN we should put this post on main page! It is fantastic! I would like to put it on my sign forever and ever! HAHAHAHAHAH | ||

Why am i suddenly "the MAC guy?" I can use bootcamp to use SCII anyways! All you need is an Intel Mac and my Dad's cpu is just that. He said that if I ever needed a reason to use his cpu I could and this counts(or would have) in our agreement. I'm sooooooooooooo annoyed now. I stayed up to the latest of hours without drinking/eating anything to make me stay up and still lost=(. Everything I did was in vain and 1 person made a decision that changed the entire outcome of this contest! Changing mood right after this post to the saddest emoticon I can find. edit: Good bye beta keys =( good bye thread =( hello lock... | ||
