Ten Free Subbies!!!!

If you don't believe me, check all my threads and stuff from the past. I don't want to get cheated out of a subbie just because you think I'm trying to double up.

sounds suspicious

[AC1speakerbox]

Not at all. He made the name for team chaos, sillies.
That's his new, PERMANENT account.

[leonid]

Why not just stick to one solid account

[TC_Cyrenics]

The rules of the team clearly state that members make an account with the prefix TC_. I played a few games, got some irreparably awesome scores, and stuck with this one.

How is that suspicious? Anyway, whatever, I'll try again next month, unless you uphold goelo's appeal, in which case I'll be taking my subscription as well, seeing as it's pretty much the same scenario.

so if you re finding alts then that means im likely to get a subbie cause i was the third post after warriormag who was ten- so this is lookin good!

[botchi246]

Ok. Let me clarify. ANYONE WITH THE SAME IP AS ANOTHER ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE GETTING A SUBBY. (I would make that statement big and red if I could but I dont know code) Bolthmann, I'm not arguing with you. We have gone through this already. If you don't like how I am doing this, then, I don't know, down profile vote me. Please move on. Thank you.

YOU told me that next time, if GOELO was the one who actually posted, then you would give him the subby...now your not doing it.

[botchi246]

Bolthmann it is unfortunate that you share an IP with other account. One of those accounts happens to be Goelo. This disqualifies you and him from receiving a subscription from me. If you really want to take it to an extreme, you can always purchase a subby from me. 150k for 6 months, 300 for 1 year. Thank you.

[sumzup]

Will you do the subbies for May at the end of the month?

Also, I have another account called bankofsumzup to store random credits (it's a measure to prevent me from gambling :P). Does this invalidate me? Because that would really suck...many people (including some of the most well-respected members on the site as well as mods) have alts for one reason or another; as long as someone is open and not trying to deceive, I don't think they should be ineligible.

And if somehow the entire list is invalidated for this month, I would like a subbie.

when will you give these out cause im definately on the list now lol

[Bolth mannn]

well then this IP system needs to be reworked, because ME AND GOELO ARE TWO DIFFERENT FREAKING PEOPLE.

i think you are probably the only person out of everyone who knows me who reckons i am goelo.

EDIT: botchi, what would be the point of purchasing one, I CURRENTLY HAVE A 6 MONTH SUBBY. *points to blue name*

[bmah]

I'm not here wanting a subby, but I can definitely say that botchi botched up some things regarding the fairness of handing out the free subbies. He needs to revise some of the rules he made and not blindly follow them. Listen to the people geez. It's called taking a cue, especially if multiple people are complaining.

1. No alts please. I WILL KNOW!

You haven't thought this one out well - did you consider any of the other possibilities, especially if such proof exists? For one, some people have more than one account for other existing reasons, and not reasons to take advantage of something such as a subby giveaway.

Also, you would not be right to assume that one IP address equals one user. Let's say I wasn't a subby and posted on this thread. My sister had an account here on the same IP years ago, and she only played for a few weeks. According to your rules, I'd be disqualified because the IP address shows two accounts, but I've always used one account, my sister being the other one. Now you can see how useless it is to disqualify a person simply based on multiple accounts on one IP address.

As an additional fact, some people can have multiple rotating IP addresses on a single network interface card, further attesting to the fact that you can't make any sort of judgement based on IP.

7. You must be a member for at least .3 years.

This rule probably was based off the assumption that you only had one account anyways. Take a look at TC_Cyrenic's case. I know he's been around for longer than .3 years, but he changed accounts for reasons of joining a team, not for malintentional purposes. He does not in any way have an edge that would give him an advantage in the free subby giveaway. Again, you're probably hearing the same thing from some of the other members, so this is a hint that some of your rules are faulty. Please reconsider the subby candidates, as well as revise some of your rules.
Everything's obviously up to you botchi, but I recommend an open mind, not your head stuck in a paper bag. Thank you.

Honestly, I think that as long as that person hasn't posted in this thread or another subbie giveaway thread with an alt, that it's okay. :/ I do have alts. I don't have a sub on any of them. And I don't plan on it. I rarely even play on them. I get on them everyday to check them, but otherwise, I don't use them.

But that's your call, not mine.

[BlazeDrag414]

Can I have a subby. I've been here for over 3 years. =O

[chidori!]

i'm sure more then 10 ppl have asked so its pointless
... until next month!!

[DarkManticoreX2]

Goleo and Bolth could share IP's if they live near each other and ever once logged on at the other person's house. or if they went to the same school or college.

I can vouch for TC_Cyrenics that he hasn't used his old account in several months. If you're using a ip checker, you can easily see he's the same person as his old account (Cyrenics, who joined Jan 2009, which would make him eligible), he just wants the subscription for a different account that he has switched to.

It's your giveaway, but you're botching it pretty hardcore.

[botchi246]

this is the last month im doing this. end of story. april is it. sick of arguing. goelo take your subby. the original ten that i had listed are getting them. idc anymore. its hard to enjoy giving out FREE subscriptions when people bitch so much.

[MetalAtlas]

and who exactlywas on the list

[botchi246]

the original list are the first ten in the thread that arent already subbies that asked for them. this includes goelo. so u can work it out im sure

[who_cares973]
