Not to sound bitter, but I think next year for a prize as grand as this, the entering should be more strict as to only allow active members who make the temp what it is able to have a real shot of winning, rather than be flooded out by an avalanche of 50- postcount people who tend to only pop up at tempmas season. Especially for a contest that merely requires attendance. Makes more sense if some effort has to go into things, then they can sign up a day before and that be their only post and i'd say they certainly deserve to win.

My congratulations to Category for winning that GW3DS though.

Although I've lurked on gbatemp for years and years, I do believe my first post was on tempmas last year. However, I do not post much, but still check daily, I just don't have much to say. Would you say I'm not an active member?

1 post on average every 23 days... actively viewing , not actively posting .. but if you got nothing to say then , i guess your active .

I guess then the solution is have a forum accessible to users with over 100 posts , similar to the trading forum. Then these fly by nights dont even know its happening .


I feel like this would only help in having more users flood the forums with spam to raise their post counts.

then how about accounts that are only 6 months old or something, or 6 months old and 50 posts.
but then, people might start making fake accounts now, and post using them, in order to get ready for next chiristmas haha... but that is a bit far, you can't protect against everything!
but i think the 6 month thing would be good.

You people aren't serious are you? The gba temp mods and staff are the ones that made all of this happen. They decided to give out, being thoughtful of everyone else. They put a smile on the winner's faces. The losers didn't lose anything, but you're acting like you did. You people need to grow up, really. I wouldn't be surprised if gbatemp stops hosting these tempmas events because of people calling each others names over material. Well you know what? If you want a ps4 so badly, then go out and buy one.
Congratulations to all winners, enjoy your prizes everyone, be safe and happy!

No worries, it happens every year. Tempmas will go on :)
I understand the disappointment. Just keep trying and you'll eventually win something!

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
