Thread: Entering comps just to give prizes to non-MyG members

    Eh, maybe I just try to be too much of a nice guy at times.

    Nothing is stopping anyone from doing whatever they want with the prize, I just don't like the idea of someone who isn't a member of the group the competition is aimed at getting it. As you'll notice from my DiRt3 giveaway last year, a member entered saying he wanted to give the code to a friend of his if he won, and I denied his entry because the original competition was for MyG members.

    Why would I consider it unfair if I don't win? I won a R2,5k graphics card from MyGaming last year. I would have to be a moron to consider something as being unfair only if I don't win.

    Lol! Also, didn't anyone tell you a PS3 isn't designed to be used as a trampoline?

    You actually read manuals? Or anything constructive for that matter?

    manuals are for the weak ... you only read it once the item breaks and go "oh, is that what i was suppose to do"

    Winning for someone else is a grand and knobel thing but I think you're just screwing yourself in the end as the powers of randomeness are less likely to choose you again.
    So the one time you will ever win, you get something you dont want for someone else, yet you are the one who puts all the effort into the forum.

    Its not dickish or unfair. its just dumb but at the same time............ heart warming.

    Maybe you should give the box to the homeless guy in the alley behind KFC.

    I have noticed on the competition threads that are people entering competitions with only one post, which is great since that means we are getting new members, but I don't think they deserve prizes since some of them enter the competition, wait for the next competition and enter hoping they win. I suggest using the old weekly giveaway system: post 10 times within the week. It increases forum activity and protects competitions from these... I don't know what to call them

    Maybe it's just because I had 2 hours sleep last night, but this looks like a troll thread.
