I have a key to give away; thus, a contest! I tried to give it away for reddit's secret santa, but my giftee didn't want it/play games :(

Find x, where x is an integer such that it equals (number of days since I got my invite to dota2beta) minus (total number of games of dota2beta I've played).

Example 1: If I got my invite 3 years ago and played ~100 games of dota2beta. Then the answer is around 1000. (1095-100 = 995)

Example 2: If I got my invite a month ago and played 34 games a day since, the answer is around -1000. (30-1020 = -990)

I'll put a comment under whoever is closest to x on Friday night.

Edit: per tgftw's suggestion, I will not be accepting responses if your account was created after this post was made. Edit yet again: The winner I choose will be a pseudo-active redditor, defined by myself. I've been looking at comment histories, and the idea of giving it to someone who has only made comments on r/sharedota2 does not appeal to me. Sorry I keep changing the rules. Yes, I'm a meanie and a dictator. Also it has to be for yourself, not a friend.

Another edit: changed it to "day i got my invite" as opposed to "first day i played" or "day i installed it" to be more specific since all three days are actually different and I know the invite date from my e-mail history.

tl;dr Guess an integer. I'll pseudo-randomly assign a winner.

Final Edit: Time to announce results and explain my choice in the pseudo-arbitrary winner. I received my beta invite on 3/3/11. Today is 1/13/12. So, I got my invite 316 days ago. I've played about 5-10 games. So 306 < x < 311.

Closest guesser is Animasitas with 300.

Next closest is derkunde with 279.

I did not consider either of them very active Redditors.

Next up is mitsuhiko with 275.

According to his comment history, I believe he already has/plays dota2beta. Plus this is probably him, and clearly has dota2beta.

That leaves jeepersnz with 274 as the winner whom I choose.

Congrats! PM me your steam ID or your email tied to your steam account and I'll send it to you shortly.
