cmdr_flashheart: Yeah, I think it's pretty much a given that if you give something away, then you're committed to do it. I did the 5 days thing because it's only fair to everyone else that they shouldn't be expected to keep track of a giveaway for an indefinite period of time.
Who didn't offer you a game in return? They're blacklisted from this thread and any of my future giveaways.
edit: I am assuming that they received a game form someone else, but then didn't honor the giveaway they put forth. However, I am not making any more rules- the community can self-moderate, and people can decide how to run this thread as they like within the general guidelines :]
No, they didn't take any other game, they just offered it here and when I reacted to the offer they said they had already given it to someone else. They also seemed fairly new here (and young, but you can never tell), so it's ok, no need for blacklisting. It's not so much about me, I'm good, I just wanted to say that it would be sad if this giveaway turned to something noncommittal, to haggling and comparing prices, and if the lighthearted fun would turn to bitterness because of disappointed expectations and lack of communication. I think it would even be acceptable if offers are withdrawn, but IMO it should be announced in this thread and before anyone reacts to the offer at hand.
