43 people posted more than once, tho one of those 43 was me =P (for obvious reasons) one person posted 5 times =P as for how many fake accounts, We look them up as we go,
Me and my roommate share the same connection, will we be disqullified since we both entered on the same connection?
Aside from picking the winner, it would be quite nice to get some compilation of the more well written and creative builds
I realy hope they do it, will be amazing ^^
thats a good idea. aside from the beta contest. just picking out the mods favorites and putting them on a list somewhere. that would be very cool. (and save me time from looking through the thousands of submissions for the good ones lol)
To your terribly optimistic math...this:
you want to know chance of winning at least one key, negation is not winning even one.
therefore 1-(1/4100) is chance of not winning.
they will do 50 randoml choses (1-(1/4100))ˇ50 is chance fo you not winning key even once, therefore 1 - (1-(1/4100))ˇ50 is your chance to win at least one key and it IIIIISSSS 0.0131 percent
i hv absolutely no idea what u r talking about mate
your chance of winning is 0.02% rounding up.
i made the same silly mistake earlier today in the contest discussion thread.
your chances of winning are 1.3% not .013%
(because 1.00 is 100%, you move the decimal 2 places)
chance to win on one pick 1/4100 = 0.000243
chance to not win on one pick 1-0.000243= 0.999756
chance to not win on 50 picks 0.999756 ˇ50 = 0.987877
chance to win at least once 1-0.987877 = 0.013..........FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU yep i forgot to change to percents...
its 1.3 percent thats pretty good
Mhm. I think the best way is to just use a number randomizer (1-4112), and check that post for being fake \ doubled.
That way you don't really need to go through ALL the posts and check for reposters. just the 50 people who came up on your randomizer
What do you think?
P.S
Am I the only paranoid here that they will look into their post and think its fake \ reposted even when its not?
Spent an hour writing that post :<
meanwhile I'm preparing a huge explanation reply with commentary for all the games I ever played, it's just something I've been willing to do for a loooong while

is anyone else checking their forum messages as often as possible, just in case there is a message there but the icon didnt update?
or is that just me?

You mean, spamming F5? Every minute or so at least, until they either mail me a key (!!!!), or announce all the winners have been given keys, and I find myself unlucky.

assuming you have 4100 competitors the chance of someone not to win a key in a single draw is 4099/4100 . power that by 50 and you get 0.9878 not to win a single one . meaning , 0.0121 or 1.21% to win at least one which is just a little smaller than 1.3 but still.
(this assumes that an account CAN win multiple keys)

That should help secure my victory ^.^
Sigh... I should just start watching youtube videos of everyone else play now shouldn't I?

I'm anxious!
Odds are extremely unlikely that I'll get one, but....one can hope! T___T
Blizzard should go, "Oh wow! So many people gave good input during that contest. Let's give out 1,000 more keys to them!"
or is that just me?

Now now, just because it is a good idea doesn't mean they are going to do it... ok it is a good idea to us, but maybe not to them.
Whimper, me wants in now.
