Why do the highlanders not win?

Having reminders means there is less chance highlanders will stop being highlanders.

It's been a while since I set up a mailing list, so I had forgotten how to actually subscribe to one. Updated the opening post with instructions that actually work :P

What makes you think that? I only said that the reminders will mean there is less chance the existing highlanders will miss a draw :P

Reminders greatly decrease chances for next rounds :P

Which is completely different from there being absolutely no chance of further rounds :P

Besides, the highlanders can always agree between themselves to not join the mailing list :)

EDIT: Also took the opportunity to add a "privacy policy" to the FAQ in regards to the mailing list.

If I subscribe to the mailing list, will you forgive me for missing your first giveaways and add me to the almost-highlanders list ? :-)

Except some of the first giveaways, I didn't miss any other giveaway. With this mailing list, I should be able to avoid missing any other ! (except the one that will happen end of July / start of August when I'll be on vacation without Internet).

Although I didn't win (I still hope the day will come !) I still want to thank you for everything you do for the GOG community.

If people don't use it, I'll just delete it :P

I think I have considered making a list of people who haven't missed a draw since they started entering before.. I don't think I settled on a name for them though :)

In addition, there are some issues that have cropped up recently that I need to resolve first. Nothing severe, but important enough to warrant attention...

Hello, I'm new in this community and I hope that it's not a problem that I subscribed, since I'm always low on cash, and this look like a cool idea altogether.

Well, seeing as how we were all late to arrive, how about "Britsh Railers"?
