A single pick means you enter for the game you actually want to win. Prevents people from entering for a ton of games (or even all) then deciding they don't want a game that wasn't high on their list. Meanwhile, someone who actually wanted that game may have been passed up and at the same time, the person doing the drawing has to redraw a winner.

MEANWHILE it seems pretty much everyone will win the specific game they voted for by default.
+ manofthem confirmed it was a mistake. That figures...

I made the mistake of only allowing one option, as that is what I am accustomed to with my other giveaways. I'm waiting to hear back if there's a way to change it, and I'll go accordingly from there.

I get one idea. It requires a mod's intervention, though.
Make a completely new thread with a proper poll and move all the posts of this thread there.

Not necessarily a mistake. My initial thinking was a long the lines of theonedub's; it makes sense that we think similarly since we often do giveaways and are accustomed to the ins and outs. While creating the poll, I gave it thought and chose a single option, mainly due to fairness. If person A enters for 1 game and person B enters for 5 games, it doesn't exactly end evenly.

After it was posted, it was suggested for multiple choice. After thinking about it, I thought that it might be a good idea for multiple entries, given the number of games available.

I get one idea. It requires a mod's intervention, though.
Make a completely new thread with a proper poll and move all the posts of this thread there.

Mod intervention is a given, but I'm waiting on responses from the mods. Hopefully I'll hear back soon.

And theonedub is 110% correct, running a successful giveaway isn't as easy as one may think.
I'm glad he understands

Norton · May 15, 2013

Agree 100%- these giveaway's are quite a bit of work.... :respect:

to you and theonedub for bunches of them that you do.

Clearing it out and trying again isn't necessary imho

I would suggest throwing a spoiler at the top of the OP addressing any corrections to the drawing or the poll.

Maban · May 15, 2013

Entering for Serious Sam 3, but only if no one else wants it.

TRWOV · May 15, 2013

If multiples are a go, I'd like to enter for Tom Braider, Velvet Assasin and Deus Ex.

A correction, the prize I offered is a "Humble Weekly Sale: THQ!" bundle, not a Humble THQ Bundle (the included games differ between the two).

brandonwh64 · May 15, 2013

This is what the crunching and folding community is all about. Being able to stand against disease and illnesses to have a better future for mankind! Thank you to all of those who put their PCs to work and fight the good fight!

In for alan wake!

Are the games mentioned in the poll after THQ Budle correct (DS 1&2 and Raf: G&A)?

TRWOV · May 15, 2013

Ah, well, yes, the list of games is correct. Disregard my post then, I just saw the logo in the first page but didn't check the game list.

TheGrapist · May 15, 2013

in for Red Orchestra 1&2

n3rdf1ght3r · May 15, 2013

Entered for Tomb Raider. Thanks for another awesome contest!

Peter1986C · May 15, 2013

I chose for Avadon: the Black Fortress. I like role-playing games.

librin.so.1 · May 15, 2013

xvi · May 15, 2013

Borderlands 2 it is.

Chicken Patty · May 15, 2013

name is the same as on here: Far Cry 3.

AlienIsGOD · May 15, 2013

tomb Raider here

manofthem · May 16, 2013

Just a reminder that the giveaway is planned to end tomorrow evening, with drawings shortly thereafter (hopefully

).

I'll be in talks with Norton as to what to do with the leftover and unclaimed games, so maybe there will be more chances

edit:

After the winners are posted, the remaining games will be listed and posted. Then members who didn't win can then enter for what is leftover.

Hopefully we will have a lot of happy crunchers/gamers

Nordic · May 16, 2013

Glad to see tomb raider is a popular one.
