This reminds me very much of old-school Heretic / Hexen deatchmatches. Those were good times.
Had this pegged for the Winter sale, now I get to try it out for free instead. If this plays as well as it looks, I'll probably grab a few extra copies to share around.

I refuse to do the twitter/facebook thing, so I guess I'll have to find another way to get the game. P

Don't worry, you start out with 3 giveaway slots. Even if your giveaway gets deleted (and thus permanently blocking 1 slot) you will still have 2 more slots.
by the way, the numer of giveaway slots is calculated as follows:
3 + ROUNDED_DOWN(number of successfully completed giveaways DIVIDED BY 3) - (number of deleted giveaways)
so if you successfully deliver 3 giveaways, you will again have 3 slots ;)
only those users, that are currently giving away multiple copies, do really have to worry about losing all slots.

I see, never tried the system before, so this seemed like a free chance to test the waters. Tell me, does this site explode in the winter sales? I could wait until then and then add one or two more, I only put ten american bucks in my paypal per month, so Im kinda limited.

Yes, there tend to be more giveaways during sales (not just winter sale), but IMHO most giveaways are created when a new Humble Bundle arrives - which probably has 2 reasons:
1) you get lots of games very cheap (smallest tier is usually $1 for 3-5 games, depending on the bundle)
2) when ever there's a new bundle, there's a chance a game appears that has been bundled before, so users give away those extra copies.
Also whenever there's a freebie, such as Wickland, there tend to be a lot of giveaways for those games, however freebies aren't meant to be given aways here - that's to discourage horders to get mutliple copies and thereby decrease the chances for other users to get the game for free. So usually freebie games get removed from the giveaway options for some time, but since there are only 2 people who can modify the giveaway options, it can take 1 to 2 days - the giveaways created in the meantime get deleted by support and will thus block the slots.

the strange part is I did the link earlier than my little brother. But I didn't get the key while my brother got it.

Did they explicitly state that they were out of keys when you tried, or is that just a hunch? I'm wondering because when I did it, they said it was successful and they'd send a key, but I haven't received anything yet.
Edit: extra words.

Ah, right. Cheers for the info! At least that means they should be getting more then.

I got my key day before yesterday on Facebook through Facebook mail. Already there were Wick-land giveaway within an hour. I'm not sure how many as I immediately Synced my account to get rid of the wick-land entries ....

From their FB comments (~2 hours ago):
Greenlight Arcade: Seems like our site got attacked...I'll need to shut it down
Greenlight Arcade: There's 2 of us, trying hard all day to give you guys keys, please refrain from calling us scammers, or fake. Our site is getting attacked and it's already frustrating enough trying to quickly resolve this issue before we lose all our keys. We would appreciate it if you show some support instead of making false accusations.

Ah well, I'm one of the guys without facebook. Maybe the key-flood on SG will deliver it to me.
