About the basilversary laptop prize

If you're outside of the US, and you win, would you get the laptop?
Just wondering.

@BanditChaos: No. People have had 4.75 years years to be a part of the site and allowing new users to enter wouldn't be right for all the people who have been a part of the community celebrating the event. Next year you can participate though if there's another giveaway though.

@TS: Since Nexon America is providing the laptop, people outside the U.S. would probably not be eligible due to the circumstances it involves to deal with outside countries.

Edit: I stand corrected. I wonder if MrBasil will like shipping to Mongolia if that happens.

I'm curious about something too. Is this laptop gonna be smeared in MapleStory logos? That would be uber lame. Uber.

[quote=Bokuwasonny]He's off-topic?

Did you not hijack the TS's thread the rest of the other pages? Whether or not this event is unfair, it has nothing to do with the TS's question.

Not trying to be smart but, you were off-topic the minute you started posting in this thread.[/quote]

No, I was not off topic, in the beginning of the thread my posts was relevenat. However, posting more about my question in the beginning is off topic.

[quote=pavchka]A suspension would be harsh, in my opinion, but a Warning maybe, just to tell them to not spoil.
Not like Warnings aren't harsh the way they are now... (unrelated) I know that aside of me at least one other moderator would rather delete comments containing the answer, but until we've had MrBasil's okay we can't do anything about it.[/quote]
I'm not trying to be smart now but you are currently off topic. If you wanna discuss this matter, do it in the other thread to avoid the spam in this thread so the TS can get the answer he wants.

Also, I fully agree with you on some parts.

[quote=pavchka]To Jonatan: I also agree. :S People just wait for someone to come up with the answer and ah well... It kind of takes the fun away.[/quote]
Do you think that Mr.B could change his mind on that part so the users that receive the question gets a suspension?

(sorry for being off topic, if you wanna continue that discussion, do it in the thread I created to avoid more spam in this one)

[quote=SuperLuigi]@jonatan: Then what's the whole point of this thread when you've said you were wrong when you figured that this was a GMS event? Lock it.[/quote]
I'm not the thread starter wich is stated by pavchka earlier in the thread.

[quote=SpyCrabs]Pav, is giving the answers to the question forbiden?
Because other basilers are doing this and ruining the event for others.[/quote]
It's not forbidden but IMO it should be.

[quote=aloley]@jonatan: The quote doesn't necessarily have to do anything with the answer, but that's off topic too.
Realize that MOST people won't get ANYTHING.
Would you rather have nothing happen for the BasilVersary and have NOBODY get ANYTHING at ALL?
If you would, then that's just plain selfish.[/quote]
That's not what I said, I don't say that there shouldn't be an event, however, I was just questioning it in the beginning in the thread.

[quote=SpyCrabs]@jonatan:
You can suggest the idea to Mr.B or the mods.[/quote]
He doesen't lisen, I'm just gonna keep my thoughts to myself.

[quote=skinsrock89]honestly you have not added one thing that contributes to the thread. you have just been B***hing about how its unfair when its not[/quote]
No, in the beginning I asked a relevant question but then others started to questioning me. All I did was to try to discuss it in a mature way but some users can't understand that.

[quote=SuperLuigi]OT: @ Jonatan This is a GMS event. Nexon America are giving away the prizes and if it's Nexon America, then the contest/prizes are only going to be for the GMS winners. Unless you have a GMS account to get the NX, then you really shouldn't be complaining.[/quote]
Stated earlier in this thread, yes, this is a GMS event and I was wrong, I assume that you are talking about my replies in the beginning of the thread when I didn't knew that the event was from nexon.

Also questioning =/= complaining.

[quote=SuperLuigi]If you want EMS to a chance at this so badly, make a maple forum, hope it gets popular over the years, get attention from NexonEU, then enter a contest you probably won't even win.[/quote]
That's pretty difficult seeing as many of the basil users already have their habits. Making something new would require alot of work. But that discussion shouldnt take place in this thread.

[quote=SpyCrabs]Acttualy, after rethinking I do get what you are sayng.
Mr.B could easily talk with nexonEU and get some NX codes from them.
Mr.B simply talks with Spir telling her hes plan to get NX codes from NexonEU, Spir tells NexonEU and they decide to agree or not.
About MSEA I have no clue.[/quote]
Finally someone that understand me...

Actually it says "Prizes Courtesy of MrBasil" on the Nexon site.

Some people need to learn to read...

[quote=aloley]How is Mr. Basil supposed to get Euros for EMS NX?[/quote]

Another post that is off topic. Also what does that quote have to do with your answer?

To answer your question; I didn't say that he should get NX for the players in EMS. What I said was that the event would be unfair if Mr.B hosted the event. However he isn't, it's proven earlier in the thread.

@SpyCrabs:
Then why did you post if you don't know?

[quote=jonatan]Okay, so now you are practically saying that the site is for GMS players only and that all the EMS players should just be quiet and be glad that they have their own section?

So just because he plays GMS himself the event should only favour GMS players?

Where did you found that information?[/quote]

[quote=SpyCrabs]Mr.B is a GMS player.[/quote]
True

[quote=SpyCrabs]This whole site is a GMS site.[/quote]
Not true, if you still thinks that this site is made for GMS players, then prove it. Until then this is a maplestory community wich means that it's for all versions.

[quote=SpyCrabs]He only added EMS and MSEA sections because players from those versions joined the site community.[/quote]
Not true, he added them to avoid confusion.

[quote=SpyCrabs]Since Mr.B started this site about GMS when theres an IP block, I think he is american.
If he is american he cannot buy EMS NX cards or MSEA NX cards and he also cant talk with NexonEU or Asiasoft and get to join this event.[/quote]
Since there are no "NX cards for EMS" means that it would be hard to give away EMS NX-codes. Also, what do you base that assumption on, why wouldn't he be allowed to talk with nexonEU?

Please don't come with assumptions, it does not contribute anything to the thread.

[quote=SpyCrabs]I assume the labtop will be sent out to the place you live if you arent in america, because if it didnt that would be way unfair.[/quote]
True, but that was just an assumption, wasn't it?

Um.
Can someone actually answer my question instead of hijacking my thread?
That would be appreciated.

No, I'm not a jerk just because I'm questioning stuff and there is nothing wrong with that. Just because I was wrong doesen't mean that I'm stupid...

[quote=ChibiFever]Check the GMS site. Nexon [b]America[/b] gave Basil the freebies. Mr Basil apologizes in the event rules that EMS can't get it. And yes, Basil was mainly made for GMS. And now just because you can't win prizes of a competition that isn't provided by your own MS doesn't mean you should go around raging. ._.[/quote]

[quote=FragileFroob]My point is, that basilmarket was originally made for GMS people. And later on EMS was released, and we even got EMS section here on basil - although basilmarket was originally made for GMS. So don't say that it's unfair. It's pretty much like saying that it's unfair that EMS gets more events than GMS.[/quote]

[quote=FragileFroob]How is it unfair? The majority of basil are GMS players, and I believe that basil is older than eMS.[/quote]

Oh, so what you are saying is that GMS is better because it's older?

If you haven't noticed, there is alot of EMS players on basil.

What you are saying is the same thing if GMS should host an event that's only for scania and bera because they are the oldest servers.

[quote=FragileFroob]Doubt it, especially consindering EMS NX costs more than GMS NX.[/quote]

Well, that's not fair then. So that means that Mr.B likes GMS players more than EMS players?

(mr.B should have thought about this when he made the contest....)

Also, if you play EMS, would you get NX for GMS or EMS?
