Okay, I was gonna hold this until I saw another grab attempt but since I might not be here when it happens I'll just post this "letter" now.

Ahem. Dear Elrinda,
Looking at the last 3 days I couldn't help but notice how successful of a ninja you are. In such a little time you managed to grab:

- The Showdown Effect (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48033)
- The Witcher1 (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48121)
- 8-Bit Commando (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48243)
- Reign: Conflict of Nations (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48248)
- XIII Century - Gold Edition (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48349)
- Unspecified game (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48136). I'm actually wondering how you managed to redeem this one, because if later posts are about this key it was The showdown Effect which you had already redeemed a bit earlier. Maybe you keep more than one Steam account? You probably play on two PCs at once, each with one hand. I can tell you must be very skilled. But I'm ahead of myself here.

Back on track. It's improbable but there's a chance you also got:

- Another unspecified game (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48119) depending if CymTir gave it before TinyE asked him to give you The Witcher
- an extremely unlikely Men of War: Red Tide key (http://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway/post48150) . I probably shouldn't consider this because you only praised the game but Simon_vd didn't say who he sent the game to and you were first responder.

I count at least 6 and up to 8 games in about 60-72 hours. Either you're really fast at finishing your games or you don't even play them. I know, I know... it's probably the two-handed double-gaming thing. Yet somehow something keeps telling me it's the latter that is right.

Can you please start **PLAYING** the fucking games??

Can you stop going "Gimme gimme, moar games, MOOOAARRR"? Can you hold your hoarding impulses? Can you let other nice guys in this nice forum enjoy the nice games you're not going to play anyway - at least not for several fucking months because you're too fucking busy in this thread to do anyfuckingthing else?

Much appreciated.

Love, Joppo
Pardon the profanity guys, but I think it was due.

I actually gave a friendly warning via PM to one user recently -- said I didn't mind them snapping up a couple of codes in succession, but don't pounce on too many at once; it tends to start annoying people when the same person appears too many times!

wpegg: Hey guys,

Haven't been online in a bit, and this seems the chattiest place to ask, in ascending order of importance:

1) Are all people's new post windows opening maximised, or have I changed a firefox setting?

2) Xyem and Iain's weekly giveaway's seem to have stopped - did I miss another forum bust up? I know Xyem was pissed with the rep system, but it's strange not seeing the topics around.
Maybe the kidlington has arrived for Xyem ;-p
Ian is having technical difficulties and well life

Wish we knew what happened to Homer...

Damnit Joppo, now I have to shut down yet another of my key farming accounts. ;)

Seriously, all new folks should be given at least one polite notification of ninja rules when they breach etiquette. And I realise that some people see ninja'ng as another game, one which rewards the fast and vigilant with, well, rewards. But you are entirely right to be suspicious when people are hoovering (thanks Sachys) rather than just going after games they truly want. And I've heard tell that there are some supposed benefits to collecting a bunch of Steam keys, so perhaps there are grabs happening just towards that questionable end. If so, even more reprehensible.

Did I have a moral to all this? Hurm, yes, how about "don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs". Something all ninjas learn, and all failed ninja aspirants do not.

Maybe I could have waited to just say "oh come on, let others take games too" next time there was a grab, but I can't ever seem to be online at the right times (also why I'm a terrible ninja).

Still, this isn't particularly about Elrinda himself. It's more about this behavior and all the people constantly appearing that think "screw everyone else, if it is free and available I'll get it without a second thought".

Poke some holes in it or your head will explode like a baked potato when the mind ray finds you.

That's why I wear a colander instead. Well, and because I have vermicelli for hair.

I completely concur with your message but might I suggest that a PM to said offender in a helpful manner and tone, which you are quite good at, might I add, would be much more effective? I thought so ;-)

"Let's get the torches!! Tell Sachys to take out his poo trebuchet!!"

Now seriously, I completely agree with Sinistar's opinion, some "entry rules" should be spread around for newer user, so this situation stop happening, the purpose is for all of us, new and regular ones to have fun and play games.

Now speaking of tinfoil hats - you might want to consider joining Sachys in the dog house for a while! ;-p
