Contest: Win a Cities XL beta key!! (Update) photo

#Beta #Contests #PC

Yesterday's Cities XL beta key giveaway was a success, and it continues! Today, we'll be giving away 50 more beta keys for Cities XL. Getting one is going to be easy, but please follow directions:

Make sure you're following Destructoid on Twitter. You can find us here.
Leave a comment in this post with the text "I want a Cities XL beta key @Your_Twitter_Name (example: "I want a Cities XL beta key @nickchester")
Do not, for the love of all things holy, reply to us on Twitter. Please read the above step again.
Please.
Once the first 50 reply, we will direct message you a beta key via Twitter. If you are not following Destructoid on Twitter, we will not be able to send you the key. So please see step number one again.

This will go on until we're our of keys for the day, but don't despair if you're not one of the lucky few -- we have a few more to give away over the next few days. Good luck!

[Update: Today's 50 keys are obviously gone at this point; apologies that it took awhile for the winners to receive their keys.

Everyone who won should have received one except for @Aareba who is not following @Dtoid on Twitter. I'll make one more attempt on Thursday morning before throwing it back into the winning pool of keys to giveaway. That's right... we have more! Check back tomorrow if you didn't get a key.]

Are you gonna start following the 50 who got the key? Reciprocated following is the only way to DM.

GOD DAMN STOP POSTING YOU AVATARLESS ARMY OF ARSEHOLES.

GO BACK TO YOUR CAVES WHERE YOU DON'T LURK FOR PRIZES.

Zippyduda

So everyone knows on the Front Page, 50 has gone. Ages ago in fact.

I think it would be great if when things like these contests happen, all these people didn't pop up in existence and steal all the prizes from the actual community members.

I so wish I had a Banhammer right now, oooh the punishment that would be given out (even though they did nothing wrong).

@Zippyduda "GOD DAMN STOP POSTING YOU AVATARLESS ARMY OF ARSEHOLES."

Being avatarless does not exactly imply you are an asshole. Screaming at all caps on the other hand, might.

@Rob992 & ikolino

The reason I use caps is because it's probably what most of you will notice (as you obviously did). Also probably because I doubt you read people's regular commments. Being avatar-less (as in keeping the original NEWB avatar) 75% guarantees you are a lazy fuck who comes on here for contests and prizes (just look at the turnout of lurkers for example).

Now go die in the cave that is IGN, GameFAQ's, Youtube or the shithole you came from.

Before I cunt punt you.

Also @doomahx you fail at replying to people as you directed you reply and insult towards me at the wrong person.

I'm just dishing out the justice that needs to be said as nobody else is.

In before the army jump on my grammar.

Also, why are people still replying? There's quite clearly nearly 60-80 responses now. It says 50 people, count em', 50, not 100. So stop saying I want a.....

I wish I was Captain Falcon sometimes, or had hit all these people's mothers with one, as it is the best solution to teen pregnancy eventually leading to these "things" being born :)

Also, troll more :)

Good day sir.

@Zippyduda That is exactly the kind of thing destructoid wants. They want new visitors. Before this I has no idea this site ever existed. Now hundreds of others are discovering destructoid.com. I understand where you coming from but no need to get upset, it makes the community grow.

ikolino

@Zippyduda and... what about people who read destructoid since forever (rss) but never signed up? And the moment they do, someone trollbashes their avatarless faces off?
