This is the last time I have participated, I give up... I only wanted one, the see it on my keyboard and enjoy it. This whole system of dibbs, raffle, pray to gods, sacrifice a goat seems too complicated for an old fart like me. I love this man's work, the details, the way the colors are combined is just beyond awesome, so I will continue to enjoy the photos from behind my computer and feel happy for the guys who won
Maybe one day some magic will happen...
If you are on the forums, you are bound to run into a few sales, why not participate if you clearly want one?
Yes, it could take some time before you can finally get some of those novelty keycaps that are in extremely high demand. But what is the rush anyway? The pursuit is half the fun, in the sense that it makes it that much more satisfying and rewarding once you obtain one. There are many people in your shoes. The RNG gods favor no one. Or I should say, they favor people randomly
) . It could be that starting next sale, you will be a winner every time, and those who have been lucky up until now will not win anything for a long time.
What I am trying to say is that much like rolling a dice, poor luck on previous attempts does not mean you will be equally unlucky in the future. Additionally, it is unlikely that you will never win anything if you keep participating in every sale (which really is not a lot of work, just set the sales threads to notify you, done). In fact, participating in all those sales is the only way to get a reasonable chance to get a few of these keycaps. If you see people on here with collections of keycaps, sure some people got lucky, and sure some people traded things to get them. But more often than not, these are people who have been participating in every single sale for a long time.
