You still need a beta key?

[Ralle]

Hey guys
I still have some keys left and want to get rid of the rest. Therefore I am giving away 10 keys.

How to join?
This forum system uses unix timestamp ( http://www.unixtimestamp.com/index.php ) for every date- or timestamp around the site. For example as of this exact moment, the timestamp is 1274639443. In order for you to be part of the people of which we select winners, the timestamp of your post has to be dividable by 1337.
Do not spam this thread with short messages just to hit the correct time and don't double post. It is supposed to be a conversation, but with a chance to win if you enter.
If I find that there are no winners, I will randomly select a different number.

The contest will be closed on thursday.

So, guys, whats up?

On a side note, winning this contest is quite likely to be impossible as there are no seconds on the post timestamps. But oh well, I'll try anyways. Not like I'm going to win.


Also, no one else posted. Saddening.

 

[Koeky]

still a change to get a beta key before the beta closses

 

[ElegantPro]

I want to play SC2. xD It's true this will probably be impossible to win. I dont even understand it, but w/e

 

[mrzwach]

Odd, it appears post-times in the forums are about 15 minutes off.

Everyone wants to play SC2
I cant wait for it

 

[viiva]

C'mon

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

is it allowed to participate for a friend?

 

[viiva]

Is it possible to check what timestamp a post has?

 

[Koeky]

What is a timestamp?

 

[Anachron]

Ralle, that is every 22 minutes only. That's stupid.

 

[viiva]

It's the amount of seconds since the 1st of January, 1970[FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono].

[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono][/FONT]

 

[Koeky]

ah... the good old days...
i remeber it like it was yesterday...
the hive had 10000 users at that time

 

[real138]

Hmm don't really like this idea lol. o well ill try and get one

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

so, do i understand that right that i could actually somehow calculate when i have to post to get the right timestamp?
then this is no luck, but pure calculation!

 

[Anachron]

Yes, but you can't actually post in the correct second, how would you do this?
Sometimes server responses take longer and it will delay. Then you'll fail.

 

[real138]

Well if Ralle decides to continue this "contest" then he will have alot of math to do if this starts getting post crazy

 

[Anachron]

That's actually why he told no spam lol
Nah, just joking.

 

[real138]

Everyone Spam the hell out of this thread!! nah jk don't i want to win this key so just me spamming

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Best contest ever.

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

uhm.. he didnt say posting twice is not allowed, did he?
or did i misunderstand him?

 

[mrzwach]

No, double posting is where you post immedaitely after having posted with no reply in between.

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

well, i might be too dumb for the multi quote feature, but i know what double posting means
i'm a moderator on a german modding site

Maybe one wants to teach me how to use the multi quote?
Or neg repping? Dunno how that works either >.<
Sounds stupid, huh?

Or does this need to be sc2 related? Sure not... i hope...

 

[cookies4you]

whats the chance of winning this anyways?

 

[mrzwach]

(posts)/1337

Posts being your posts in this thread, obviously.

 

[Koorr]

Entering to win this ballin' contest.

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

no, the timestamp of your post, which must be dividable through 1337
(giving clean integers, not floats)

 

[Koorr]

You talkin to me or zwach?

 

[mrzwach]

Every 1,337th number is divisible by 1337, thus 1/1337 chance.

 

[Cashew]

Hey, new to the site. Heard about y'all from sc2mapster.

PS: still looking for a key

 

[MrApples]

Can I has beta key?

 

[DarkFrog]

Hopefully the keys haven't all been given out

 

[Just_Spectating]

so there are no particular rules in this contest?

we just post a random post and hope for it to be lucky with time?


i got emailed my beta key via blizzard and already have one, but my brother still needs one so i guess i'm in this for him.

 

[mrzwach]

Thus the point of the contest, lol.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i sense spam country in here.

 

[ShadowFlare]

I have a beta key already (But watch this post gets it )

 

[viiva]

The beta goes down on the 31th, so you'll have 4 days to play it

 

[Cashew]

Four days is all I need. Me, some energy drinks, junk food, and adderall and I'm set

 

[Koeky]

4 days is better than not playing it at all
and doesn't the beta opens before the release of SC2?

 

[Anachron]

No, it is only that the bnet is closed on 30th to prepare for the last beta wave.
You are still able to make awesome maps with the editor.
Better read carefully.

 

[viiva]

Well you can use the editor without a key.

 

[Koeky]

Are you guys going to pre-order SC2?

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I have preordered collector's edition ^^

 

[Rainbow Evil]

Why don't cannibals eat clowns?

They think they taste funny!!!


Hope this wil cheer up those who don't get the key...

 

[MrApples]

How do we know Hive's timestamp is correct?

 

[ikillforeyou]

I have an idea, i could.. SPAM POSTS!

nah, ralle, how about if it's divisable by like 18 or something

 

[Koeky]

I'm not sure if im going to pre-order.
Still don't realy get what the benafits are, when you pre-order it.

 

[pie0107]

I wounder how timestamps work

 

[Hell13east]

Isn't that explained in the first post

 

[pangahas]

And the beta key goes to...drumroll
