In all seriousness, I love your tattoo and good luck with the contest.

I'll always remember Moose's comment on my video...

"You browse the internet in a suit? My man!" Or something in that region. <3

[SpAmRaY]

That guy with those keychains and other accessories was pretty cool too.

Always be prepared!

No, you're not.   In fact, you're quite awesome.  I actually meant it not as horrible as in a horrible person, but more of a "that was so horrible and awful that it's amazing" type thing. 

[lyrill]

you are just making me look bad aren't you?

Nope. He's just making truthful observations.  It's Glissant's giveaway, he can run it however he wants and complaining about the post requirement does come off as entitled.  When I run contests for /r/buildapc and people complain about the rules, it makes me not want to run contests in the future.  When people say I'm sad I don't qualify, hopefully I do in the future, congratulate the winner, and say thanks for the contest, it makes me more likely to do contests in the future that they may qualify for.

That's why when there have been other awesome giveaways that I didn't qualify for because of my posts, I just said thanks for the awesome giveaway, congratulated the future winner, and moved on.  Doing that is far more endearing that complaining about the limit. 

 

to me it's a debate over what is more mature: actually being able to say what you really think, or just trying to please everyone and be "nice" whenever possible.

and I think it sounds like I am the only person here that is not that obsessed with making cheesy posts in order to maybe please whoever gives freebies to win. You did not go as far as to say that there is an obligation to please whoever gives out free stuff, but I get how people will be annoyed when the person giving out free stuff looks at the takers as cold blooded takers. Well I apologize if I come off as that. I am not. Clear cut doesn't exist. That's not me. I am not even metacommenting on what I said.

Maybe I am just the douchebag that makes people feel bad. But oh wow, big deal that I don't know my manners. What exactly is manners worth? What exactly is speaking sincerely worth these days?

[VesperSAINT]

What exactly is manners worth? What exactly is speaking sincerely worth these days?

In this thread? Maybe a Filco keyboard.

There are no requirements for when manners are necessary, my friend. I hope you have a good day.

actually the only good part in that movie. thanks to no character driven whatsoever, not a good movie unless you rename it Joker, the last show before its actor dies.

the reason why the last 2 movies were given great reviews, is because most of the reviewers were given tickets to watch in cinema, and they ended strong. I don't particularly think Batman Begins ended strong, but its core content are way more character driven than the sequals. yeah you got all the joker presence and mindless violence and the grand scheme that looked cool in 2 sequals, but it already got old when the third one started

[Glissant]

Oh how lovely. You're still here.

[Melvang]

It is tomorrow, who won?  I need to know who to send congratulations to.

BTW, lyrill, go poop on someone else's thread. This is your one and only warning by me. One more negative comment toward Glissant, BunnyLake or really anyone in this thread will get you blacklisted by me. That means no group buys, sales, or giveaways that I host. And it may sound like conceit, but I think I organize or help organize some pretty cool **** on this forum. That is all.

TESTIFY!!

[Glissant]

That made me chuckle, foxer .

And to the rest of you impatient silly people; watch it or I'll just do it night time EST instead =p.
I'm home from work now, so I'll start looking through the entries and see who wins what. I have some D20s here I need to use, so who knows what will happen.

Fingers crossed that someone will win. It would suck if nobody won anything .

[CPTBadAss]

Glissbro you're playing DnD?? What a baller. Let me know when you decide so I can make a decision as well. Still got that numpad to give away ^__^

[jdcarpe]

Can I win the D20's? )

j/k

[nubbinator]

I miss playing DnD, though DMs usually hate me. Something about actually playing a chaotic neutral properly makes them annoyed...like when you decide to go looking for magic mushrooms on a stroll through the forest.  I mean, that seems totally normal to me.

woah, so if I eat that up and take my dignity away with your comment basically saying: I was pooping, I was being negative, I deserved to be blacklisted, I don't deserve to be spoken to more than once--all these and you call it" that is all"???

and why do you even have to be so vicious and cliche and make it so that after I already said how unfriendly people are, how rude they are to newcomers, you still insist on acting just like that, if not more?? And all these warning stuff?? What is this a prison that I have to earn my respect ? A corporation that I have to climb ladder on? THIs is the internet, and you are just bullying, the internet is not supposed to be like this, and your moral just slipped down Nth mile from where it should be.

You think I am ignorant of the fact that this is not the approriate place or thread to argue about irrelevant things? Well I didn't start all these, I was merely questioning the rules, and people start to jump at me as if I am some kind of virus

I asked nothing of trolling comments towards me, I did not target my comments towards anyone, THEY targeted me intentionally for fun, and you ask me to take this to elsewhere? I am the one crapping threads?

this does not get any more personal, I have always not sit up with bullying, and it's not like I live just to shout back at people trolling me, but if they ever do, I am not gonna just get slapped.

now let's all be friends, this sounds like a great community, people seem to give stuff for free, there is all this group buys, don't know much about them but the 8$ keycap seems like a deal.

how's that for moderated posting?

and I think I finally realize the simple truth that nobody ever tells me: I just don't get along with people only because I refuse to mingle with them, something that most people consider an obligation of starting normal friendship. I don't because I am not attracted to that kind of relationship. Thus I am neither not trying to be nice, nor failing to get along. I wasn't trying to be nice, I wasn't trying to convince people that I can get along with anyone, I am merely defending my rights as a human being to voice a difference because the world lacks character to a point where any sight of difference is shut down by false labeling such as "trolling"

I don't care if you find similarity to other people that you meet that are intentionally being bad personality or bad entertainment or whathaveyou, I am not a product of any negativity that exist in the world.

I never said a thing about corporate,   I never had anything against anything related to this giveaway. It's those people--- that make me appreciate the fact that there is giveaway and make me shut up when I question the rules because I felt left out from a great opportunity unfortunately due to the random fact that I just joined and had less than 100 post--that I am not ok with.

[linziyi]

Ahh it's lyrill, he had been raging ever since his arrival in Geekhack, and I happened to witness one of his first: he's posting how he hates green switches, someone then offered a trade with him. Feeling a strong urge to protect his own dignity as a buyer and his respect to the product, he gave the following speech:

first off, it's rare and there is a reason i don't sell any of my stuff. i buy them for a reason and even if i don't like them as much as I wanted to, I am sure as an individual that respect the product being made I am not ignorant and arrogant enough like many other uneducated folks out there and simply go as far as to express their personal approval or disapproval to certain keyboards or claim they will never use this or they will never like that. now it sounds like you assume I did that, but I didn't.

I have not used it much, but through posting about it I feel the obligation to use it more. Yes it is kind of hyped, but it is an alternative that is rarely available when you want it. When we talk about different switches we go online and see what people have to say about it, or we try ourselves. How many people actually have their original uncontaminated opinions about key switches? Even if they have actually owned it to whatever degree, it doesn't mean they really have individual experience off of it. They may or may not approach certain keyboards with pre-assumptions, and therefore their user experiences may change.

In my case, I was pretty stoked about green switches, but as a calm person I did not smash it or post a sale right after my medicore/terrible first impression.

How much are you willing to pay for it though? I understand as a buyer nobody wants to pay for open box item at full price. But as someone who is not interested in selling, that's what I would want if someone wants it badly. See, the item is worth more for me than for others? Then I don't want to sell it. I already paid what was worth for me, and there is no reason to lose the difference and go through all the process of buying and selling, without gaining anything but I don't like Greens. That's just sad, some people may say it's better than keeping it without using it, but I am not broke yet and it's obvious that people who own multiple mech keyboards shouldn't need to sell keyboards unless they really want something else and can't get the cash around to do so.

TLDR: i don't sell stuff i bought. if you want it, consider yourself lucky I don't ask a higher price than MSRP.

Well now and then there would be these kind of people, world is big so -------------------------------- Don't really care about them much :S

Glad everything is getting back to the status quo!  I love everyone involved in this giveaway.  Would have loved people without the post count to post regardless of the eligibility to win.  This thread has just been too much fun
