A suggestion reguarding entering multiple competitions

Closed

Let's say I entered two competitions for Skyrim, each ending within an hour of each other. Then suddenly! I have a seizure and I'm rushed to the hospital. I return four hours later, and as it turned out I just ate some bad cheese. I rush to my computer to see if there are any good competitions happening. And I discover not one, but TWO E-Mails waiting for me. As it turns out, I won BOTH Skyrim games by a freak chance.

Since I know that entering a competition for a game you already own is against the rules, I would have to E-Mail back saying "I don't want it" or put it up for another giveaway.

I know this would just about NEVER happen, but you never know.

My solution is this: If you win a game, you are automatically withdrawn from competitions giving away that game until you claim your prize or something. This would prevent any freak-chance winning two of the same games.

What do you think?

It's a nice suggestion, but the chances are so unlikely that it doesn't need any urgent implementation :) I'm not sure how complex something like that would be for CG to put into the site. For the time being, when you win two Skyrims I think you'll be better off declining the later one, and letting that giveaway be rerolled.

If you won 2 Skyrim giveaways you would die of a heart attack. No need for e mails...
