Ok now.. can I nominate myself for "The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut"? O_o
Or can someone else do it for me?

Can I have it please?

Edit: Ow missed it again, nvm then :(

Thanks for the donation ikrananka and +1!

Well, I consider it bad manners to ask for a game if it is not even on the list yet. Feels the same as people asking for a game before the new month has even started. There is this thing called patience.

Can I have Outlaws + A Handful of Missions, please?

If you're talking about that post, the game was on the list, but indeed I made it 1 day before the new month start, so its my mistake and will not happen again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience :(

If you're referring to that post, both games were on the list at time of my post and the month was started, but it probably got lost buried among other posts and later mrkgnao and zeogold nominated someone else, so a bad luck I guess :(

That's why I thought it was no longer acceptable to ask for games yourself as per this post, but I don't want to delve into it anymore so, please excuse me again for the commotion.

Anyway please let me nominate <span class="bold">phaolo</span> for The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut [since its already in the list :) ].

Hey sorry, I didn't know about this, it's the first time I ask for something here (even if I've been nominated a pair of times before).
EDIT: wait, the game is in the list. Who were you talking about? O_o

I added it after posting...

Hey thanks, but I cannot accept if you wanted the game too!
Can't more people enter for each title?
If so, I can nominate you too XD

.
Ah, so it was really me.
Ikrananka said that he sent the key to you, so I added my request without checking anything..

Technically you asked for that copy of the game first :)

Edit: Well I did asked Ikrananka via chat, 4 minutes after his post :P, but after he (or she) decided to donate it to the giveaway, I thanked via chat and I think we should play by the giveaway rules, so its yours :)

And that is exactly why it is in the rules that people should not post the names of donated games. I just creates a mess *sigh*
And you can stop this ridiculous dance since neither will get it.

But.. why so severe, it's not that we did such horrible offense..

Because it would be unfair. Games that are available are listed in the OP. People look there for games. If a game is not there it can't be asked for. No one should have to read all the posts here just to see if something might be on the list soon.

She works hard, on a completely voluntary basis for no remuneration, to herd the cats and get us all nice things.

Things that make her job harder are, well, generally going to make the voluntary service more frustrating. And nobody doing good things likes to feel grumpy about the actual act of doing them, or to worry that what they're doing is unfair or subject to judgment.

Considering she didn't cut off your arm, personally I'd say it was not severe. She's presumably a human being (and not just the world's nicest AI) and ergo allowed to be frustrated from time to time. She's also management, and has 7.5 months experience actually running this GA. So she presumably also knows of what she speaks.

At worst consider the moment a reminder that she does this out of generosity, but that means all of us playing nice and helping her out, not making things harder. And if we err, then just apologize and try again the right way. /shrug.

Just my opinion. If you disagree with management and want to volunteer to step in and run it with a rule set you find more pleasing to you, by all means volunteer to take over. ;)

Ok, but I anticipated the list by less than 1 hour for a technicality..
Anyway, when I'll be able to ask for it again then?

EDIT: also, I didn't know the entries were "first come first serve", I thought that "random.org" was involved.
