Title: [Giveaway] GMK Spacebar goodness (Winners announced)
Post by: danielucf on Wed, 07 May 2014, 13:41:22
Winners:
Missing spacebar - Swill
Stack keycaps - No one besides Swill stacked but I wanted him to have first dibs on color so I will turn this one into Missing spacebar part two: electric boogaloo - BlueBär
Pay it forward - Only swill was nominated. Since he won already and participated the most in the giveaway I'll let him choose who this one should go to.
Who gives a f*ck - slickmamba (I couldn't see any f*cks in there)

I will be giving away four spacebars for four different reasons. Also maybe bonus prize(s).
(http://i.imgur.com/v87wFFg.jpg)

Up for grabs:
One 7x Orange
One 7x Magenta
One 6.25x Green
One 6.25x Cyan

The categories:
Missing spacebar - post a picture where the last item you need for a keyset is a spacebar. This winner will be declared first so they get color preference to match their set (can even be for unicorn boards)
Stack keycaps - go as high as you can. Get creative. Can be a solo tower, a pyramid, what ever you want. No limits on the number of keys you can use, but you can only use keycaps. Build progress pictures will help ensure no one is using other structures to reinforce their build. Additional prizes may be added to this category for epic structures.
Pay it forward - Nominate someone else for a spacebar. Don't need to give reasons, the names will be random drawn.
Who gives a f*ck - Did not get a spacebar and want the left over color? Show how few f*cks you give to win one. bonus points for creativity

How to win:
First item in your post should be which category you are entering for. I would like people to try to limit to entering for one category only, but enter others if you just want to enter for fun or increase your chances at something (you can only win once for yourself though). The rest of your post should simply be your submission. I think two weeks until May 21st 11:59 pm EST should be good for people to work on various projects, but could extend if good reasons are presented.

For a keyset you say? How about a whole keyboard. May I present to you, my GH60:

Exactly (not from Originative though). BSP does only PBT caps so no spacebar...

Well, not sure this follows the rules, but it is clear that the last key cap I need is a space bar.

Sometimes a man's best friend is no friend at all. My puppy went through a phase where she had to have a go at anything new that entered the house. That included a brand new and unopened package of keycaps that where put on my desk while I was at work.

I have to admit that I was pretty fumed for a few days. :)

If I win something, i am not picky as they all look great.

That sucks, I have been quite fortunate that my puppy only eats my wife's underwear for the most part. Early on I did lose two pairs of sunglasses totaling around $150+ of value.

Not many entries so far though, things are looking good for you. I also suppose if no one enters in a category I can award two winners in another.

Thanks infiniti, I appreciate the thought.  :)

And for good measure here is my creative take on both categories combined.  It is my keycap structure which is missing a spacebar...  :P  It turns out keycaps are actually super hard to stack.  Haha...

I won't really sort through entries and such until Tuesday so if people want to keep submitting go ahead. I really want to give away a nice surprise or two beyond just the spacebars.

Winners:
Missing spacebar - Swill
Stack keycaps - No one besides Swill stacked but I wanted him to have first dibs on color so I will turn this one into Missing spacebar part two: electric boogaloo - BlueBär
Pay it forward - Only swill was nominated. Since he won already and participated the most in the giveaway I'll let him choose who this one should go to.
Who gives a f*ck - slickmamba (I couldn't see any f*cks in there)

I will message the winners and let the color choosing begin.

I already sent this to Daniel, but I figure I should probably post it in here...

It was actually pretty difficult to nominate someone for this.  I did not want to nominate someone who had already purchased spacebars in that GB, so that complicated things a lot.  I also wanted to try to nominate someone who I was confident would actually have a GMK set and would actually use it.

In light of this, I nominate intelli78. From what I can tell he did not get any spacebars in the original GB.  His IC is what got the current Dolch GMK GB going (btw, go order if you haven't already), so I gotta give him props for that.  I know he will own a GMK set because he has submitted an order for the Dolch GMK set, so he should be able to put it to use.  If he can get the Cyan spacebar it will even match the color pack of the Dolch set he is buying.  :P

It was surprisingly difficult to nominate someone.  Haha...
