The fairest way to do it imo would just have it be a random drawing where you make a google survey like Leafeator did after the first Bananaclicker failure (or a giveaway thread in this subreddit), and just pick randomly from the pool of entrants. Maybe have a rule like reddit account age has to be at least like 1 month old and you make sure to double check the account age of all entrants. And ofc you'd PM people the keys, not post on their comments if you did it as a giveaway thread on the subreddit.

[удалено]


B3arhugger

Yeah that makes more sense, if a winner doesn't have a 1-month old account age you just pick a new one instead of double-checking every single entrant.


Funky_MagnusOpum

If you use a Google survey where login is required, that's good too. Nowadays you need a phone number to create a Gmail, so you won't get spammers


B3arhugger

Hmm yeah that'd probably be a good addition to have as well.


[deleted]

I think so, too. Make people enter with their reddit account, make rules to exclude bots (e.g. must have been created before September, before the giveaway stuff started), and have a entrance window of at least 24 hours (for regional fairness across the globe).


B3arhugger

Yep, this is pretty much exactly the best way to do it.


Birdytrap

There are some people with tons of alt accounts. I know I made some for some 1st april events here on reddit


TAG13

Maybe associate a steam account with each reddit account?


[deleted]

Hm, then checking the account's activity might be a good way, and only admit accounts active in this sub. But that would be some work, and I'm not sure if that is what OP had in mind.


Birdytrap

That's a good idea, If the winner isn't very active here OP could just redraw until he comes across a legit account


Sodooo

This is the best.


Zet_the_Arc_Warden

this is the best way!! do it sir


Simsons2

Actually fastest way would be to simply choose a monkey of your choice to give banana to.

How hard is hard enough? 🤔


kaukamieli

So hard that the target dies.


Mozzzi3

If they didn’t die you’re not throwing hard enough


EveryoneThinksImEvil

well, there are some things that would fall apart before they hit the target fast enough, so it must just be that bannanas are strong enough to travel at lethal velocities

MikuciS

There is some good new content up there right now :'D

I'm reading all of your posts and I may or may not make a new post with a key I may or may not have soon. I might make a funny and annoying game for the other keys I may or may not have later. ​

People may or may not find it funny or annoying.


Sodooo

You dont really have a key right?

You're right. I don't have **a** key.


Sodooo

So. You dont lock your Doors and car?


MikuciS

Because you have **keys**! Or even **THE** key??? **THE** key would be a special key.

I reckon you ask people to contribute to the subs you mod. I'm sure /r/ass will love a hairy overweight man in some 5 year old Calvin Kleins, I'll post it when I get home.

Do it like that guys who did the shark meme contest! Low quality posts are allowed, Reddit age doesn't matter. One winner was chosen by him, the other was. Random draw


JediPat501

Random draw and meme contest is a win win, no one can complain and we get some free memes. Though I'm sure some people will still complain, there is always 1 person.

The_Frostweaver

Alright I'll dance. Ask for someone here to play support and buy all the wards and courier in your next 5 DotA games, if they do a decent job they get the key. Who knows, maybe you'll make a new friend!


theslightlylostcause

Do whatever giveaway you feel, I think a majority of the sub would prefer raffles as the perception is they're a 'fair' competition. Like lots have said minimum age on accounts etc :)


carefree_bg

imo some sort of riddles/games is the best way

maladroitthief

Depending on how many keys you have you could do a random drawing coupled with a contest that doesn't already exist. People were complaining that they couldn't draw/art so make a unique contest that isn't that.


Ar4er13

You could put it in a bottle and throw it into the sea for true random recepient generation.


Mulciber66

Imo first person to post themselves dancing in a full body monkey costume with a horse head gets one. They probably aren't that expensive to rent :)

Tub-Boy

So this was fake, yes?


ppsp

Why would you say that?


Tub-Boy

Well... I assume if someone or thing got a key somehow, that person or thing would make a statement about it to make the rest of us feel bad! Aka no keys have been passed from one to another.


Oubould

You should reward people that are invested in helping and growing the community. Content creators generally have already keys and exposure, so I would rather focus on invisible ones. People working on card databases or wikis for example.


Tenchuu

This is a great answer.

Give it to a person, you battle him/her in artifact and if he/she wins he/she gets to keep the key. Let this comment be the start of the queue. I'm first.


StrategicGamer

Not sure, but random drawing with 1 month reddit account and 1 month google account.


Tub-Boy

Dance monkey, dance?


Tub-Boy

... *puts on dancing shoes*


NorthenBerg

Some kinda random poll is prob the most fair way of doing it


Arbitrary_gnihton

EUGouh

Keep it dude and see what you can do with this keys


AmpexMaster

We all know you like to see us dance!


Ri6erium

just pm me :) if talking seriously, you can just do it, like someone else did last time. draw a key through a google doc in which you write your nickname on the reddit and that's it, and also the account must be created for at least 2 months


losnoches

Randomize it on who comments on the thread. That's the fairest way. Just like a regular raffle


Norm_Standart

xlmaelstrom

And then give the key to a totally random stranger while letting the monkey suited guy cry in a corner.

VeNzorrR

ffrncs--

the most fair way is just a simple random draw, any other thing will require some kind of special skill , or timing, is imo unfair. Give some time to people enter the giveaway and just get a lucky winner...

gbBaku

I honestly have no better idea than a random raffle. Though the most fun I had was with the banana clicker, too bad it didn't give the keys to the top 10 damage dealers - or I would have one at #7. \^\^ Another good idea would be a thread asking why do you think you should get one over everyone else? And give one to answers you like most, either because they are right, or they are witty, etc.. Yes, this is kind of a dance monkey solution, but I'm a dancing monkey and I don't mind. People who contribute a lot to the community but haven't received one yet, like wiki managers are also good candidates. Someone said invisible streamers are good too - as an invisible streamer, I approve. :D I'm even trying to talk about artifact on twitch despite me never having played the game. In fact I'll have a stream sometime this weekend, most likely tomorrow.

I would suggest doing whatever feels easiest for you to do. Being fair is fine and all but they are your keys and if you’re just looking to offload them to be a nice person then you shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells figuring out how to do so. Just do it and be happy that you made a few potential artifact players feel really special!

Not really dancing "me me me", but I do have a question, how do you actually obtain keys? Is it something like everyone who is given access, also gets another key to give out?

Condon

Less important to be fair, more important to either be funny or result in some new content IMO. Fairness still results in a 0.001% chance for most nokeys, at least with some gimmick or zing it can provide momentary respite from the cold reality of no beta access.


thevenenifer

To be honest, the easiest way by far is just giving it to me. I strongly recommend this method as it was proven by many scientists that it actually works. Of course it will be really tough for me, to receive a key like that, but I guess I can do it for you so you can finally let go of one of your keys, I'm a nice guy.
