I have no idea if they didn't factor the absentee dropouts or if they predicted 50+ after all the factors, but regardless, you guys beat the prediction. Sure you didn't go all the way and not enough people dropped out, but you guys did good. You did okay.

HAHA dude I am so sorry if it sounded like that, it wasn't at all like that. I was really just trying to reassure people that this wasn't really a bad thing. I didn't mean it in the way that these people should have learned a lesson, I just believe everything kind of has a lesson and that we should collectively try to find out what this taught all of us, myself included.

But yes, perhaps I need to choose my words more carefully then. :\ My apologies TheAntz.

Aw well that kind of sucks. I fell asleep -.- I kind of expected I woudnt get lucky enough to get a key.. I guess I'll have to try like the dusins other contests out there for one, hard to get a hold of a key so I can get into the awesomeness that is SC2.

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
... What do I say?

To everyone speculating as to the amount of beta keys

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

it actually really seems so. i feel bad but.. other guys (like the MAC guy) didn't opt out either, esspecially all those random 5post accounts.. if i knew i were the last one to opt out, i would have.

They probably have another plan to give out the keys and never intended on giving them away in this particular contest because they knew that not enough people would opt out.

This thread was meant as a punishment, and nothing else. It was obvious that many people wouldn't opt out.

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.

Dear List Members,

Stop sending me PMs. If your name was opted out, you either missed a deadline or you chose to opt out. 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!

this thread sucks big time, what kind of a deadline is less than a day?

Next time don't even bother creating such stupid thread and don't give out any keys.

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...
