Something happened to phar?
When there is too much
Don't forget
Multiple Keys
Winning multiple keys by entering multiple contests is one thing.
Entering additional contests *after* you have already confirmed that you have won a key elsewhere is wrong, imnsho, regardless of your intentions of what to do with the extras. Why would you want to shut someone out of one contest (that they spent time and effort on entering) only to make them enter another? Except then it's *your* contest...
Not trying to flame, just my 2 cents...

I got on to over 16 private messages of players begging, bribing, and flaming me over my keys. This was after I had already given one of them away to a contributing player, who unluckily didn't get one from a beta contest. I deleted my other two, because it was just causing a ton of problems. I kept one, incase I find another contributing player, who didn't get one.
Can you post a few of them? Not with the person's name, of course. I want some entertainment!!
Hey arterra i have one im not gonna use either i could send you the link to it?
You know, I actually thought long and hard about this one before I entered in other contests. My take on it is that anyone could get into the beta, if they were lucky enough to be on at a certain time, or be the lucky winner of the contest. So, I decided that if I got extra keys, I would give them out to contributing players of the community. I decided not to run any contests though, because of the very negative response I received.Why would you want to shut someone out of one contest (that they spent time and effort on entering) only to make them enter another?
Yeah, I have one, too. I'm not sure what do with it. Same as Arterra's case. Multiple contest wins.
Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.
Ooor I could publicly give it to you!!!
See above!!
Lol... Do you know how bad that would be? I win 4 keys, delete two, give one away to a secret player, THEN publicly get a free key from both Haikus and Otu. My gosh, the community would be waiting outside my house with pitchforks and torches.
As you will.*Pm's Phar a key, and it's not one that opens up a door, neeter'
*
Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.
PM'd. For srs.
Not about the key.
OAN:
Secret player, Phar? Really?
Guy says this:
You say this:So I got on thursday just hoping for my friends to wish me a happy birthday and maybe catch a present I've wanted for a while when I find out sts sent out some beta testers via email to some players...this already gets me upset because pl sends me a happy birthday email and I don't get a present from them? Well I get over that quickly cause I understand I can't be an exception because everyone has birthdays
P.s. if for aaaaaaaaany reason this might be considered rude/disrespectful or against the rules please feel free to take it down
Edit: its a brand new day and I'm filled with joy and over that incident so remember a belated happy bithday is welcome and a belated happy birthday present is praised for lol thanks to those who already said their greetings
And he expects us to believe this?
Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.
Wowww Otu... <.< Umma.. ty?
Haikus. Searching the forums doesn't count
It's public!!! EDIT: Maybe they'll hate me instead for giving it to a player who already had one... D:Wowww Otu... <.< Umma.. ty?
Haikus. Searching the forums doesn't count
Backfire??
Yes about the key.Not about the key.
PEOPLE! dont go giving me or anyone keys yet! I'll give this thread about a day to get answered by a dev. if approved, competition is go. If denied, back to whatever you did before, and if no answer, I'll just take cascade's word and close this for realz.
but cmon, you got to admit this is the perfect competition. I want to give these out monday the latest, not much time left.

Imo, it's not your decision who gets the keys it's the websites that run the contests. I'm sure contributing members of the community would have been very capable of entering the contests and having a fair shot at the key like everyone else. If you entered multiple contests at the same time, sure go ahead. But after already winning beforehand, it just seems... well wrong really. Just my 0.02. (btw, I do have access to the beta from winning a comp). Sorry for the incident before.
SLUSHIE - PROUD MEMBER OF REVELATION
When I saw the key thread I entered every contest. Not my fault I won multiple times. Also,the key I got from android guys was given away directly there after I won it. (Was during live podcast with chatbox)
Give us a break, we are not intentionally hoarding thesethings and selling off eBay.
since I won this key, the giver has relinquished the "ownership" of the download link to me.I was not required to agree to a leased program agreement when entering. I feel entitlesld to use or give out as I see fit, and this does not seem to he breaking STS ToS as far as I can see.
My OWN $.02 to you all, thank you.

It's not technically redistributing the software, and they had no specific rules regarding the link. They have safeguards to prevent the same key being used by more than one person (or even the same apk). So unless the devs speak up, I doubt you can get in trouble for it. They gave out the keys because they wanted that many people on the server. This actually gives it to people who are more likely to play.
