GAF Begs: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta keys

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
The general CS:GO beta thread was becoming increasingly abuzz with key begging, so I thought it best to steer such posts to their own thread. I'll be keeping the OP updated, so just mention if you'd like to be added to the list. Additionally, be sure to post when you're in the beta so there's a clear understanding of who's still in need of a key and who isn't.

Edit: Just a friendly FYI:
Posting your Steam name isn't absolutely necessary as:

1) You can add it to your GAF profile, or
2) Somebody can just PM you and ask for it

Hopefully this thread will fair better than its doomed Diablo 3 counterpart. (Do Blizzard even allow participants to invite others?)

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
I appear to not be on this list. Let's change that.

I wonder if any Aussies play the beta? I'm down for a key but I'm not desperate at the moment as I'm trying to clear a backlog.

hours spent in CS or CSS would be nice, otherwise it's just a huge random list.

(already in the beta)

Do you mean to imply that key priority should shift to those currently/generally most active in CS/CS:S?

This list is first come/first served in my opinion.

I haven't played CS in about two years, but I have played hundreds of hours in CS 1.6 and earlier, and have a few hundred in CS:S. But what does Steam report my time as? 0.9 hours.... that's not very useful since they used to only track time played in 2-week chunks instead of total played.

yes and no, I would rather have someone who has spent some time in cs rather then no time at all.


(granted steam only started tracking time like 2 years ago)

I understand and in fact considered that myself, but I think it would be best to work through the list chronologically (i.e. top to bottom), purely in the interest of fairness. Of course, if there's a consensus otherwise, I'll concede (not that I'd have a choice :p).

My question is... since Steam doesn't track back that far, how are we supposed to give an estimate with any sense of accuracy. If people want to restrict it to only those who have been really active in the last month, Valve has already taken care of that: They are giving keys away to the top 500 most active players in the last 30-days.

Hell, I might even exploit Valve's system by starting a password protected dedicated server, joining it as a player, and leaving my computer on 24-hours a day. This assumes that they track hours, not kills or anything else.

That's a good point, and they've said they'll continue to distribute keys in such a manner.

I know people are free to do what they want with their keys, but i hope people follow the list. The DOTA2 key thread was a fascicle and the list was never followed.

These threads do tend to wither and thus fall to the back of people's minds. Since the beta is expanding this/next week, though, hopefully we'll see some GAF solidarity.

Yep, I've played way more 1.6/CS:S than my timer indicates lol.
Not to mention I've had my account since 03!
