Just like the other dick who put up a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. one.
Expect more during this period, since GOG does nothing about it.
Did I break a forum rule? Kindly let me know if I did.

Not a official one no, but a unwritten one.
Code drops are discouraged due to the prevalence of scammers picking up free games.
With nary a thank you or giving two shits about the site, other than seeing it as a grab bag of free stuff..

It is ok.
Many people share and drop redeem keys here, including me.
Thanks for the insight kbnrylaec and dampsquib.

I think a nice and easy way is to simply say 'I have _game_ who wants it?'

Give whoever puts there hand up a number, then go to random.org and use the random number generator on the right of the screen with the min/max numbers of your participants. Find who you attached the produced number to and give them the game by private messaging them the code :)

Oy. Take it easy. He's obviously new and knows nothing about the whole code-dropping thing.

I'm not sure what you expect them to do. Reprimand people for...trying to give free games...?

What DampSquib and micktiegs_8 said. It's considered a bad move to do so since it gets snagged by bots. Best way to do it is a method known as MAHAYO (Make A Human Answer YOu) whereby you get someone to respond and can give them the key via PM after you check and see whether they're a decent person or a scammer. We have a bit of an issue in this place whereby we get a few people with many alt accounts who show up just for the sake of racking up free keys by using these accounts to feed 'em all to the same person. If you search for someone's username and find 99% giveaway activity, that's usually a bad sign.

I understand that you were just trying to be a cool guy and may or may not want to go through all that trouble. I also run a giveaway on here, keys can be given to me via PM and I'll do all that work for you if you don't feel like it.

First thing that came to mind. Read it as a premature statement.

I know, I know. It's just really getting on my nerves sometimes. We've been over this so many times.

Meh, it's like when the forum gets flooded with Connect threads. Yeah, it's annoying, but really, can you blame 'em?

Well, those at least don't do any harm. Dropping codes kinda does. I just wish we could sticky some simple guidlines - you know "don't drop codes, name the game you're asking about, don't be Bradley" that kind of thing.

Breja: name the game you're asking about
Now, let's not get carried away with such unrealistic expectations.
