Missing my arse. Everyone knows what a fanboy Chris is - thieving little bastard, more like. I hope he gets his karma soon.
As for the competition, what to say? You were up-front (eventually!) but it doesn't change the fact that the organisation was a total shambles and I wasted too much...
Arf, this made me chuckle. My kind of humour! :) Can't say I'm too interested in the game though, sadly. I was a huge, huge TFC fan back in the day but I'm holding out for TF2 now.
Sorry. Like Sulkdodds said, it seems I mis-interpreted your post as "no-one cares, we've got better stuff to be doing, now shut the hell up." Which obviously didn't help matters. As for my insults, they're borne out of frustration - I don't know any of you, I have no clue what you're like in...
In fact, f**k it, I'm writing a brief email to Gabe now. It's only fair that they know what happens to the prizes they give to websites like this, when it's promised they'll be awarded to winners of site-run competitions.
No shit. Perhaps, just maybe, that's what's annoying us idiots who took part? We're the gullable prats who took the trouble to pen a letter for this two-bit website and now that the competition is done and dusted, no-one here has the decency to award one of us a prize, indeed as f**king...
I think what Solaris is trying to say is, "so what the f**k please, gentlemen?" Munro filing his nails? The computer on which the entries were being typed up broke and now you're awaiting a new PC before you can continue? Chris stole the replacement prize as well?
Very much looking forward...
Yeah, strangely enough, I can read. So are you saying nothing has progressed since Sulks made that post a week ago? Nothing else has happened to move things along any further?
Brilliant.
So what's going on now? Is Munro doing anything? Is ANYONE doing anything? What was the last event that happened pertaining to finding a solution to this matter.
An email I've just sent to Chris_D:
"Dear Chris,
I'll keep this relatively brief because I'm a busy chap and I'm sure you are too. My name is David, or "DVS82" on the hl2.net forums. I'm writing because I'd like an explanation as to what is going on with the mailbag competition, if...
OK, seriously now, what the f**k? I respect the staff who have posted here in as much as could be expected for people who have delayed a reasonable explanation for so long, but I do think Valve have a right to know that the prize they gave, the prize you promised for this competition has just...
I know. I really don't know how I can paraphrase my previous rants any more effectively, to be honest. :(
I can't imagine what could possibly need nearly 2 months to sort out, in a competition as straightforward as this. Still, I've lost the will to rant and most of the staff posting here...
Heh, fair enough. :) (Just for Sulks there.) Right, I think I should call it a day. Clearly I've caused a little agitation amidst all this when I was really just aiming to knock some asses into gear. As Monty Python's John Cleese once said, "if you want something done in this country, you...
This post is all I was asking. A reasonably thorough, calm and reasoned response. As I said before, I don't mind delays and I understand people having commitments. Lord knows I have enough of my own. I just wanted something akin to what you've just posted. Some admission of responsibility...
Like a twat? Is that "accordingly"? Initially, I clearly wasn't being rude at anyone here specifically, I was just irritated at the impression that entrants were being messed around. And I think that's a perfectly understandable reaction, if you're to be honest with yourself for a second. I...
Nice. Real mature. And what a brilliant way to deal with a reasonable query as well. It's people like you that make me think so much less of this site, when people like Sulks and Samon are clearly at least going to some effort to reassure my faith in how its operated.
