[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20490958]OK, I just came into this thread, and what the fucking fuck. Why is everyone screaming at this guy because you entered HIS contest? it ended, and YOU GUYS, NOT the person who won, are here complaining? Do you think if you yell loud enough, he'll decide that you deserve the game more? What difference does it make to you who won, since you already know you lost? Fuck. It's like you're all butthurt that you didn't get something for nothing.[/QUOTE]
If I wanted Borderlands that much, I could just buy it, or in worst case scenario; warez it. (Not that I'm suggesting anyone do that - I'm simply saying there are other methods to acquiring the game, and acquiring it free on that note. I do not condone piracy just as I do not support theft.)
I kept posting for the winner's name purely because I'm certain there has been no winner. I will be content, and even apologize if there is a winner, but at this point that seems incredibly unlikely.

That's the case with 9/10 other people bitching in this thread, too.

See, this right here is what I don't get. What difference does it make to you?

It makes as much of a difference to me as it makes to you to [b]prove[/b] it makes a difference to me.
But, in honesty, I [i]don't[/i] care, curiosity has gotten the best of me. As I said, Borderlands itself means little to me, but whether this guy scammed the forum or not - rather, his reasoning for doing as such if he had - has me confused.

That came out wrong; "Winning Borderlands for free means little to me."

you realize this makes no sense, right? I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm asking you a question.

See, I think that's the problem. The only person who should have a problem here is the person who won--if they didn't receive a copy of the game. And I think that if this happened, that person would be posting left and right in complaint. There's no "scamming the forum" going on here. It's not like he asked you all for five bucks apiece.
OP was a troll.
They always are

No, I'm saying your question matters to you as much as me asking the OP who the winner is does - both mean little, if nothing, and we have no real negative or positive feelings either way.

The person who won should have a problem? There is no winner, theoretically. What's the difference? I could be the winner. If you entered, you could be the winner. The winner has yet to claim the game, and as such we're all equal in terms of winning here.
I'm tempted to leave the thread, or just lurk it, not much point in debating with you - no offense intended, I'm just saying this is getting us nowhere in the long run.

The fact this wasn't put in the Gifting Thread leads me to believe that, but he could also be a legitimately new user - but then again, why would he pick Facepunch to hand out a gift if he was new?
Doesn't make 100% sense, does it?

Oh, and "scammed the forum" was a bad choice of words, it reads too harsh - try "tricked us" or something along those lines. My point being I sound like I'm demanding he rewrite this wrong-doing or some shit when that's not at all what I'm asking.
Well, I do have some negative feelings about people who feel entitled to free things (see: the whole "Left 4 Dead 2 should be free DLC" thing, I raged), so there's that. I suppose you're not really the person to ask about this, though, since you don't care.

Oh that pisses me off to no end as well. But that's people thinking a service, and content for their money, should be free, not realizing the content they paid for was yeah, the original L4D.
That's a debate for another time though. I'mma lurk here for a while, then probably check back in a few days. Bye, Thread.

cough
Well,eh,maybe the thing were getting all worked up about is that the first 3 pages of people sent their emails to him. Now,if he was wasnt doing a giveaway,what would he use these emails for?
Im also just wondering if he actually gave someone the game or not :v:
We wouldn't be pissed off if this guy would tell us, who was the winner. But he didn't so we are angry.

You can actually SELL packages of e-mail adresses for ACTUAL MONEY. The guys who buy them then proceed to give you hints and tips and products to enchance your male parts and tighten up your girly parts, most of the time involving special offers on Sildenafil citrate.

Ye know to much!
Confirmation that the OP sold our email addresses, I started receiving a pretty vast amount of spam lately. I know for damn sure nothing else would have caused it.
FOOL IS ME.
He didn't sell it, mine is the same as usual.
I also don't see any difference.
Same, haven't got anything new, aside from the usual. "Hello, I'm from Africa, we would like to give you money blah blah and rare Viagra or Stock Market or Paris myspace stuff." :P
