Pretty much, it was a silly idea to begin with.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Drinking (x) amount of cola within a 5 minute time period = death ?

You people are idiots.

1 out of 24 responses was positive. Sure let me give something to people who will shit on my effort to bring some fun and entertainment to this forum.

I'll gladly take a ban now as I don't have any further intention to be a part of this community.

Death is certainly a possibility. The carbon dioxide in the cola could cause severe disfunction in your stummach.

Another possibility that would do terrible terrible dammige could be diabetes like mentioned before.

Voyager, even if you mean well, this is how I saw it:

Guy records himself drinking 7-8 cans of coke; wins a beta key at the expense of public humiliation and the risk of his own health.

Your post was totally out of hand because you're using the desperation of members without keys to entertain yourself. Surely you can understand that.

what effort? It probably took you 5 seconds to think up the idea and 5 minutes to write it all out.

your contest idea was horrible anyways, you may as well ask for self mutilation videos.
Fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs.

I've just received another beta key, so I'm giving this one away with the requirement of very little effort as that's how I received my first key.

No practical skills of any sort required. Those design a logo do something for me etc... contest are a dime a dozen. This one is for everyman, like Voyager.

I can say with a great amount of certainty that this is the easiest beta key contest for StarCraft 2 ever.

Whoever can be the most melodramatic TL emo wins. The task is who can carry a large, standard size wooden cross the furthest in 5 minutes.

1) You must film yourself completing the task, and then upload the video to YouTube.
1)a) Post the link of the video in this thread, and only this thread.

2) Wooden cross must be standard Jesus crucifiction cross (~110 lbs or 49.9 kg)

3) The process by which you will carry the cross is as follows:

i) Hold up a sign with your nickname on teamliquid.net
ii) Perfom a bannable action, and emoquit the forum with a martyr post (like Voyagers)
iii) Pick up the cross
iii)a) The competition begins when the cross is picked up.
iv) Carry the cross
v) After 5 minutes, measure distance

If at any point in the video, if you or the Cross leave the field of view your entry will be disqualified.

Wow what a fucking baby. I regret giving you my beta key seeing as you don't have the decency to pay it forward. You won't care, but as someone who did you a total solid, you now have zero respect from me.

Yeah, this really wasn't thought through at all, people have been known to cause themselves severe damage from that amount of sugar intake, not to mention all the other stuff that's packed into coke. And 5 minutes is a loong time to drink as much coca cola as possible.

Also, it is extremely discriminatory against community members who may be suffering from conditions such as diabetes.

I mean, if you REALLY want to make a contest about drinking coke, then why not, at the very most make the challenge about who can finish their can/glass of coke the fastest.

OR be a man and admit that you had a not so great idea initially, but are still going to be generous about giving your key away.

There's soo many other alternatives to this, just have a think about what might be entertaining or challenging to the community.
