[Turkishrambo]

i ****ed up my address on the topre drawing, **** **** ****. Oh well hope i get the mx.. maybe ill get my first clack!

[Grim Fandango]

Already entered

[cactux]

I am in, but I had terrible luck on getting clacks from EK

[baldgye]

I think draws like these and proper clack sales are the only way to really get Clacks... The second hand market just kinda sucks lol... That's said... Good luck everyone!

[rowdy]

At least this one you have, how long is it?, to enter - it's not whoever is email-graphically closest to CC for the first 3 seconds after countdown.

[SpAmRaY]

I heard these get thousands of entries!! Good luck to everyone!!

[terran5992]

Dammit, why cant this be a silent raffle. I would have a much better chance of winning

[Photekq]

Friend comes over for about 5 minutes after school so I can explain something to him about maths. I see the EK drawing, so I register before explaining the maths thing. I then explain to him why they're such a big deal etc. I then leave the room to get a drink and my friend registers with his email and address on my PC while I'm out. I bet this is seen as 'gaming the system' so I'll be disqualified.

Pretty sure a unique address would mean you are fine.

Pretty sure a unique address would mean you are fine.

"Efforts to "game" the system will likely be noticed and disqualified (as will any other entries to other drawings that we can reasonably tie to that person for the foreseeable future.)."

That probably means if you register two addresses from the same IP you're disqualified.

[Cottonsox]

I highly doubt it. Would seem stupid. You can just register from different net cafes then. If his postal address is different and email why can you jot register from the same ip? As you said your friend just used your computer... that is all.

Friends don't let friends use their computers haha

Hopefully it's fine, I mean what about people who work in a large office and all their external IP addresses are the same?

[Cottonsox]

Also. I don't think it would be fair if my pet cat cannot enter just because he lives with me and iis under the same ip. Did I say cat. .. I ment roommate.!!

[atlas3686]

I'm praying to clack gods on this one, that night owl would go really well with my Filco. Guess it's now just wait and see...

[martinyeah]

i hope i can get one of it

[rowdy]

Understatement of the year.

It's probably millions of entries  )

[Binge]

  I make keycaps and I still want to buy a retail CC at one point in my life

[noisyturtle]

I really hate this raffle, it's so easy for unscrupulous people to game the system to get more entries.

Eh nothin to get frustrated about.  **** happens you know?

LOL thanks for posting, just in case anyone on geekhack doesn't get the EK newsletter.

they should be doing what they get paid for, not browsing keycaps.
other than checking the IP what other ways are there to stop ppl trying to "game the system"

[eth0s]

I don't see why EK Brian can't tell us the number of Clacks he has, and the number of orders, so that we can calculate the odds of winning.  I think if people knew their odds of winning, then people wouldn't be so disappointed when they don't win.  But since it's a total mystery, it makes people feel worse because they think it could be 2:1 or 3:2.  If I lost a raffle when I had a 67% (3:2) chance of winning, I would feel like crap.  But if I had only a .2% (i.e., 500:1) chance of winning, then I wouldn't feel bad at all.  Since it was 99.8% sure I wasn't going to win.  Anyway, I bet the odds are closer to 500:1, and certainly no better than 50:1.

How mailing addresses can people "game"? Feel like this should be sufficient

I think everyone would like to buy a retail Clack - cheaper )

again...with the notion that office people shouldn't be allowed to take breaks.

Ssshhh  Don't disturb CC and his gnomes - if they pause to update the web site we might not get the Clacks!

OMFG does the word "joke" mean anything to you?

You should NEVER joke about Clacks!

[Danule]

i wonder when the draw is taking place. I hope I win one this time around

Last time EK needed a few weeks (or was it a couple of months?) to collate all the entries before the draw took place.

Hopefully all the bugs have been ironed out and this time things go a little more smoothly.

Nice friend you have.

[Binge]

shoot EK an e-mail and explain your friend's e-mail and ask to have it removed from the listing.

Why?  Why is his friend not allowed to enter the contest?

[esoomenona]

I'm going to need you all to email EK and ask for your entries to be removed.

[Puddsy]

I'm going to need you all to email EK and ask for your entries to be removed.

I second this notion.

[kenmai9]

Just canceled my entries.

[SpAmRaY]

I heard they are automatically canceling entries from free email services.

So your saying that once someone registers no one that they know can register for it?  So i guess only 1 geekhacker can enter. But im guessing he would be disqualified since he would know us.

[cactux]

He is talking about using the same ip address to register both. EK may or may not consider this acceptable.
