Ian: ah amok - I have never fallen out with you about this, and I am not going to. My only gripe is you jump on other peoples giveaways EVEN when you don't know if the key was from HB or not. One of your disciples in this thread last night said he "assumed" because the game is live in the HB now, that every key came from there. Taking this stance, you judge every1 guilty, also who are you to question them ? I have a key for BP, its not from HB, but like last night in "Hi i'm new" thread u assumed, so instead of just welcoming him, you gave him a nice lecture at the same time.
You need to get real mate, get a life, a job, like Momo said a chap with such passion as yours could do wonders in the real world.
Hundreds of HB keys were given away on reddit over the last 2 days - you will not see HB say anything about this, whilst their sale is beyond 5 million quid. They don't say anything anywhere at all.
Tbh, I was going to rant and call you a few names lol, but hell come on we are adults. PLEASE, by all means if you know for certain any key is from HB, copy and paste your message - However, if you don't please do not spoil that person's generosity.
No worries Ian, and I do have a lot of respect for the amount of giveaways you have had the time you have been here, and in most cases else I also find myself agreeing with you more often than not :)
When it comes to knowing a key is from HB or not, I guess you are referring to the Tremor thing? They admitted that the key is from Humble (it was after all the only place to get that compound key :)) and re-distributed them. They will not do so in the future. Other than that, I think all others are places where the person doing the giveaway first say so, or I ask them before I start my preaching routine. It can be seen in all the other giveaways on this site where I do not do so. I judge very few people guilty, only when they admit it themselves.
(Granted there was one last night, and I do admit I should have asked the person first, but it was very suspicious when it was an account created the same day...)
Humble themselves will off course not do anything about it, how can they? They live on peoples goodwill, and will not do anything to rock the boat, which is another reason why I think that these giveaways are a shame. It is taking an unfair advantage. The moment they try to clamp down on this, there will be a shitstorm, so they can not do it. Instead they need to trust it's customers to be decent instead.
Ian: I can look back in my life, and tell you, some things I have done make me cringe. Unless you are a saint, and have never done anything wrong, you don't have the right to judge others - don't we have poloticians for that ?
hehe, I love how this implies that what is happening is wrong, not sure if that was your intention :)
Yes, I do a lot of wrong things. A probably do a lot of wrong things every day. Point being, I never intentionally set out to do wrong things, and when I do I apologise, try to rectify the issue, and make sure I do not do the same thing again. I think that is the adult way of dealing with it :)
I may also have issues around honor and respect which are over inflated, it has got me in trouble before :)
te_lanus: Think you should just accept that the Human nature is not going to do what you think is right, you can bash everyone over the head with "the Wish" of HB but no one is going to really care about what you say, as you're starting to sound like a broken record, and you're not gonna convert anyone. As most people live by notion of "what I paid for is mine, and I can do with it whatever I want too"
but do you need to do it here, after what gog said what they think about it? I still think that is very disrespectful... and it is not addressed.
