Well, where is that "THANK_YOU" user when you need him :( ?

lugum's 2nd account? :P

Don't want but +1 for the gift.

Only an assumption, never was proven.

There are people who have created accounts just for gifts, and that is fine with me, as long as people play the games they get.
My theory is that there is some account selling going on, basically they grab enough games to fill a certain quota, and then they sell the account at some fishy website (a bit like WOW account sellers often sell stolen accounts, but this being less obvious)

Well, look at it this way.

Imagine that you and a bunch of friends are are meeting regularly to play bowling. You're competing for some prize each evening, and you're usually having good fun.

Now, one of your friends starts using a remote-controlled car instead of a bowling ball. Each evening, while you and the others honestly pick up the ball and try to do your best in hitting the pins - sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing - this guy just sits in the back, drinks his beer, and drives his RC car against the pins. Of course he wins every evening.

Would you still say "It's just a tool"? Can you see how the nature of the contest is significantly altered once you allow this method?

just like school again. they always have to pick me :x

That's why you can encode gift code so script gets screwed :)
We think of you as one of fastest ninjas :P

ooooh so you are saying you all look up to me? okay i am happy again :)

Partially. Still making 2nd account is a bit of overkill :P

EDIT: If only your son did it.... :D

Base64 Decode, had that game on my wishlist for a while now, was waiting for a price drop. Thanks :)

IMO if such things bother someone they should either ban the frowned upon method/action during said events(Probably not possible here), stop "playing" with(Giving games in this manner...plaintext codes, etc) the other side if their actions bother you so much, or allow everyone to use it while not complaining......but don't complain about someone's actions/methods of doing something while not taking an action to ban or prevent them from doing so.

Also what about my prior example? What if someone good at math/logic is playing chess in a tournament and blowing all the other players away...should they be banned or the game/event ended because they have a skill that gives them an extreme edge over the competition?

Enjoy :)

he has 10 accounts.
