I think the whole "no escaped lunatics" rule is pretty stupid, to be honest. You don't have to give the game to the first person to ask for it, you're not bound by contract, just do whatever you want. :P
Double check topic title.... First come first serve, if we allow escaped lunatic anybody who simply want to grab the game will be allowed to have it? With the no escaped lunatic rule at least it rule out those who are not part of the community, because let be honest, its for the community and if you are not involved in a community can you be a part of the said community?

That's not what I meant. I mean to say it should be the one giving something away who decides who gets to take it, if they want to give it to an Escaped Lunatic I don't see why that would be a problem.
Oh sorry i misunderstood then. Its just a general unofficial rule that we all use up in giveaway to avoid bot/spammer/greedy guy.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

am i the only who finds the no casual conversation rule bothersome? i mean, people are camping the thread to hound up freebies and are complaining that not every other post is a give-away? that our idle chit chat is getting in the way of their leeching to the point that post are being reported? if that's the case, i'll be happy to see this thread sink to the bottom for lack of activity.
sorry hemmingjay, i think you're awesome, but i don't like the way this thread is being used

I think idle conversation is needed to keep the thread on the first page on Other Games. Otherwise, it'll die.

Aight. I want to be tortured by long-ass queues. Gimme Simcity 5, or, if it's your only game on Origin, gimme the username and password.
Seriously. I want to see how bad it is.

I'll say it nicely before someone says it nastily. You've got the premise of this thread backwards. People offer games and first person to claim it gets it, you don't just come in and ask for games you want.

I recon that this post illustrates that this thread probably now needs locking. Shame, I set up a steam account incase anything worth bagging came along too...

Honestly it does but in this case it was because of well... trolls.

Which is odd for Bay12games. I mean there are always a few people who derail but this is multiple accounts.

This was a social experiment and while I am glad that it brought cheer to many, it seems that a few are just determined to pull at the loose threads until it unravels. Let's end this on a high note and lock this now. Thank you to all of those who participated and especially to the generous who donated games. Cheers!
