Spinorial: "Me." perhaps. "Me?" Not really. You'd really have to twist your response into knots to get that kind of answer, and we know the resident illiterate "Romans" aren't doing that. Rather, they're emulating memes. Memulating :/
Your base belong to us, Spinorial. Resistance is futile! :D

blakstar: Technically, "me" is OK in this context.

I didn't ask "Who would like it?", only for a reply!

And if I'd asked "Whom should I give this to?", "me" would have been acceptable too! :-D

On this thread, I'm willing to stretch things a bit, and take "Me?" as an acceptable answer, as in the surprised reply "Me? My God, you actually mean I ninja'd everyone else and stand a chance of getting a free game?" :-D

Thespian*: Your base belong to us, Spinorial. Resistance is futile! :D
shouldn't that be "All your base are belong to us!"?

Should it be? Oh, my bad! :D

Don't end a sentence on a preposition. :)
Thank you for your little correction -- I accidentally missed that! :-)

Mind you, if we're really going to become pedantic about this, maybe we should be pointing out the incorrect usage of colons, dashes, and brackets in English sentences :-)

I've a strange feeling of deja-vu... ;)

Indeed. I "googled" the sentence (my memory is THAT atrocious) and the first result was the one I posted (shame on me for not checking it). :D

Thought I'd throw in one of the few bits of grammar pedantry I know. Too bad it's wrong. :D

But in this case, "To whom" is really the correct usage, so you're covered! :-)

Anyway, enough of this nonsense -- here we are talking about the correct usage of English, whilst merrily using terms such as "ninja'd", etc. :-D

Good job on the rapid self-correction. Normally it's a like a game of slap-jack in here when someone posts to the wrong thread and everyone races to be the first one to correct them. :D

Hehehe... Looks like Aveweto was shooting for the first shot. Stupid forum grabbed a posting I started in Classifieds. Thanks for the heads-up. :-)

I seem to have come up with a Steam key for a Forge Starter Pack.

On whom should this key be bestowed? :-)
