Assuming those are all correctly formatted, that's still a 500/3716ish chance of winning. About 13.5% chance of a SC2 beta key is... well, amazing! Good luck all.
I like those odds!

I should use more commas I guess. people (who didn't) (do it right by putting @starcraft in their messages). In other words, putting @starcraft was right, but some people didn't do that, maybe 5%?
Yeah I noticed some people who didn't RT (Reply Tweet, i'm so fuckin web 2.0) and just did a regular tweet with #sc2fan. It still shows up when you search for #sc2fan but it's technically wrong
|
how do you tell if oyur tweet was right or not.. i put one or 2 in forget.. but ive never used twitter so i really get confused with it =\
|
its too late now so whats the point?
You need @Starcraft (directs it to the contest owner) and #SC2fan (announces you are entering the contest) in the "Tweet". I also put "RT" to be safe in case it was necessary when "re-tweeting" (responding to a message) to put that in the title but I dont think it was.

he wont win anyways, didnt put @starcraft in ANY of them haha.
I stupidly didnt put it either my first one, then the night before it ended I realized it and fixed it.. im hoping for a win!
ps, Do you think they are gonna IP check to see if people have multiple accounts? I have two accounts, one for myself and one for my band, and I put one on both just to hopefully at least get one.. I wouldnt claim it if I got two, but hmm im slightly concerned that'll disqualify me =/ oh well.

I don't think there are any easy twitter features that allow you to check people's IPs 
The contest did strike me as odd, sounded really easy to cheat in.

I'm sure some people here cheated a bit. That means there might possibly be some extra giveaways here on the forums when the beta keys are given out. Assuming teamliquid would allow such a thing. So keep your eyes peeled.

If you really need the @starcraft, I think this guy will be flamed :

i do not understand all the jibberish in this thread. anyone care to put it in laymen's terms? 1 - Register for Twitter 2- "follow" starcraft 3- write anything that includes "#sc2fan" into the box at homepage. 4- Cross fingers edit: also after you can click on the "#sc2fan" link in your post to check if you've officially entered. j/k
But it's not really clear. And how will they know if you are really a US/Canada citizen ?

RT @StarCraft 500 SC2 beta keys going to our biggest #SC2fan [Not only do I eat starcraft for breakfast I drop the zerglings off at the spawningpool]
Yup I want my beta key

"93 reasons why you should marry a hidralisk: tip #49: if you give french fries to a hidralisk, it wont tear your limbs."
Not only did he spell hydralisk wrong 49 times, but these "tips" are all so bad it rages me.

Poop. I saw the twitter thing and I thought "not going to do that, I'm sure they're like giving away 1 key to a million people."
But now I found out that it had good odds.
Oh well, I lose. =(

on http://www.hashtweeps.com/search/index if you put #sc2fan and @starcraft, it only gives 1257 replies that have both!
Meaning; If we have a 500 chance out of 1257 entries.. That is good odds..
Not to mention people posting over the time limit.. should we say roughly 1200 legit entries??
damn.. im prayin.

Don't forget that some of them might have forgotten to follow Starcraft, though I'm sure it's not many. Regardless, I like the new odds better than the old odds.

That search site only goes back 4 or so days out of the 10 of the contest. And most of the entries came in the beginning. I'm pretty sure the total count is around 4-5k.
