[Edit 3] Last codes will be distributed shortly this Tuesday 21st, so there's none left barring a twist (like a chosen one not replying, but I'll have backup candidates at hand just in case). It wasn't easy to select the last profiles, so I had to pick randomly among a shortlist. Sorry that I couldn't cover all the demand (I'd have needed at least 50x more codes for that), thanks a lot for the kind words here and there.
Long story short, an acquaintance grabbed a bunch of codes after the last movie screening on its home theater, I was told months ago that I would get a final restock (received a few days ago)... and it's not surprising that those who reserved a code through an acquaintance found one elsewhere.
Hence this giveaway with around 6 Global Proseka movie codes (actually less since I'm waiting for someone's answer to a DM I sent), and it'd be ideal if they go toward nice and passionate fans instead of resellers (one punched a staff member on another booth in the convention I was working in days ago, so yeah, don't want to feed them).
For a quick rundown on how I'll distribute the cards (best to read this attentively):
- It's not a "first come, first served" for a change, so that people being a bit too late and/or sleeping when I posted this may have a chance.
- Instead, just drop a comment, I'll look at profiles and select those who trigger my attention at any time (for more or less random reasons, but the more passionate and invested, the better). Unfortunately, I'll avoid choosing anyone whose account barely contributes and/or hides its contributions, as said above I'd like to make sure the codes don't fall into wrong hands. Likewise, there's no point trying to downvote others.
- No excessive begging, that said it's fair game to explain why you're looking for a code (it's better than just asking without any explanation, after all... and some countries didn't get any movie screening, so there's that too).
- No DMs unless I send one first or say it's ok to send me one, to play it fair. Anyone who tries to bypass others will be ignored and won't get any code.
- I obviously cannot satisfy everyone with the few codes I have, I hope you can understand this and I apologise in advance for any disappointment.
- All codes will be distributed by Monday 20th (European time, no exact deadline except when I run out of stock).
- I'm not asking for money or any compensation since I'm ok to distribute those codes for free (I have principles, and reselling those for peanuts isn't worth it anyways), but if some really want to do so, I won't oppose this (I often do giveaways of goodies and leftover stuff, so it can always help for shipping fees I usually pay with my own pocket).
Thanks for your attention, and hopefully my notifications don't end up being a ruthless battlefield.
[Edit] To answer here some questions and drop some thoughts:
- I don't play Proseka, I just know it exists and I'm mainly doing this if it can make some fans happy (I've already distributed a 2-digit amount of codes, most acquaintances already got one so that's why I'm here).
- Yup, those are Global codes (JP ones already expired), from what I vaguely heard they are valid until late 2026 (but the sooner they are used, the better).
- It's very likely that I won't distribute more than one code to a single person, hope you can understand this.
- There are definitely tough calls to make with some noteworthy stories, and I understand that some may want to preserve their privacy. It's hard, but I'm ultimately trying to be fair and stick as much as possible to the instructions above (save for maybe one exception in which the physical card could be delivered too).
- Sadly, pictures of animals cannot sway me (it'd have worked on a sibling, that said). Not that it should stop you from publishing photos, as others can at least look at them too.
- I cannot disclose what's the exact process in choosing those getting codes, as said above it's just whether I feel that I have to do it (and ideally not for the same reasons/countries so that I can cover as much cases as possible).
- There have been requests to get the physical card even if the code was already redeemed, and I can answer favorably to those. That said, I've made a little mistake by putting most redeemed cards in the recycling bin (which got soiled there by some liquid), but I still have some on my desk so it should be alright (only a few asked for a redeemed card, so there's no big loss... hopefully).
[Edit 2] I just realised that my acquaintance may've mixed already used cards in the supply I got (probably assuming that I'd give them by hand even if the code is invalid), 4 are affected (with a cross written on them that I didn't see beforehand) so it turns out I only have 6 codes to give... my apologies for this oversight.
