Just so people know, if you provide an invalid key, and you're unaware that someone could receive that invalid key in next year's event, that makes you a useless dick thief. (:

We surmised that already. It's just that many of us just don't want to be dicks to other participants by giving them an invalid key.

The keys we are giving* are going to other people? I'm just seeing ppl in here get the same games, I'm confused

It seems to be a mix of keys that were given to the site last year, and of developer-provided keys, the latter of which is providing the basis for the more consistent drops. The phrasing on the site (quote below) makes for a very clear impression that Chrono is reusing keys provided to it- and, as asking for actual working Steam keys wouldn't make sense to the model if they weren't putting them to use, we've no reason to believe that interpretation isn't accurate.

They certainly could do better at clarifying and managing the affair, no doubt.

We’ve connected today’s Game Hole with the Game Hole from exactly one year ago. If you feed it, it will regurgitate a random key that it previously fed upon; like an unholy, demonic, uncaring space-bird feeding its young.

Oh, I see, that makes sense. It would really be best to give out valid keys if that's the case.

So, it makes someone a dick if they don't have a 'working' key to provide to the site, yet they want to participate? Yeah, ok.

Also, people are being given keys from last year, not this year. While I'm sure people provided invalid keys last year, people shouldn't complain if they do get an invalid/used key, since they know that it's a possibility.

The site doesn't exactly make it obvious that the key you're getting is one that was given last year, and that the one you provide might go into a pool used for next year. Most people are going to type something in the box before they scroll half way down the page to see the notice.

It's a dick move and with over 2000 games in your steam library I think you are able to dispose one steam key...

It seems you only bothered to read the first sentence of what I said, and you, as well as others here, are making the assumption that everyone is supposed to be familiar with what the event is and how it works. Give me a break, they didn't make it obvious... the notice is half way down the page, and it's an event held on April Fool's Day. I would say that calling others a dick when they don't realize something, and unknowingly make a mistake, is an even bigger dick move. Thanks for checking out my profile though, and making sure to judge me based on my library count. (:

It's totally fine to make a mistake but you didn't seem to be sorry that you abused the system, that's the problem I had.

Even better is that you can't give them another key, despite not wanting a second game. This is different from last years. I gave out a real key and no one wanted it, since it was April 1st.

I inserted 2 or 3 keys (have some spares) and, of course, got only 1 in return (on first key). It looked like all keys, which I dropped to hole, were accepted. Only thing I did is refreshing page after each attempt.

I have nothing to be "sorry" for. I made a mistake, I admitted it, the end. Simple as that. I didn't "abuse" anything.

The issue I see is that you want to take part in an event and gain something without giving back anything. You don't have to put in a valid steam key, but out of respect for other people I would put one. Even if it was free key such as F1 2015, someone would still be very happy to receive that instead of just 1's that you put in.
Perhaps they never received any keys from last year in this year's event, perhaps they did. That doesn't make your actions right, nor does it excuse you for being a massive hoarder. 2000 games and you can't even spare a free key from humble? Come on mate.

The real issue here is that you're yet another person that is just making assumptions, most likely based on a single sentence, as well as making judgments based upon a number. Immediately jumping to the conclusion that I deliberately put in an invalid key, being fully aware that it'll be put into a possible event for next year. Perhaps Chrono shouldn't hold a semi-serious event, on a joke holiday, and place the information half way down the page, where most people are not even going to scroll to, especially not before they try to get a key from the hole.

I didn't think I'd have to explain further, but now it seems I must. I'm fairly new to Chrono, so I was completely unaware of there being a previous "Black Hole" event. Since it's an event held on April Fool's Day, I initially thought it was a joke, and I wanted to see what would happen, hence why I put in the 1's. I didn't actually think I'd get anything. If I was aware of that key being put into a pool for a potential event for the following year, I wouldn't have entered something invalid. I'm clearly not the only person that didn't realize how the event worked.

I admit that I unknowingly made a mistake, and perhaps I didn't convey my point very well in my reply to Sooth, so I'll try to elaborate. With my question, I was attempting to get across that someone, that is unaware of the 'rules', isn't automatically a dick because they want to participate but don't have a proper key to put in. On top of that, I was trying to say that people shouldn't complain if they happen to get one of those invalid keys.

Also, accusing me of being a "massive hoarder"... that coming from someone with 898 games, where the majority have seemingly just been idled in, and that includes most of your wins. How ironic, mate.

I'm a person who read what the site does before I entered random text / key into the field. Sorry for acting like a proper adult and getting information first, I'll just disappear in a logical bubble.
I have no idea how the fuck did this world progressed to the point of "you can't blame them for not scrolling down". Or reading the rules, FAQ, knowing the laws and generally being useless, because some people will still protect them!

So, what's the weather like up there on your high horse? I bet you're also such a "proper adult" that you read all of the T & C's for everything. Apparently anyone that doesn't do what you do is useless. Ah, it's nice knowing that someone like you has contributed so much to the human race by simply "scrolling down," as well as never making mistakes! Anyone that scrolled down should be praised! "Congratulations, you've passed the Proper Adult test!" Praise the down scrollers! You are a better person for scrolling down!

Yeah, please do disappear into that "I'm better than you" bubble of yours.

This is a great thread to weed out bad seeds.
Due to all the people giving duplicate keys or just button mashing something into the black hole, next year many (more) people will get duplicate keys, will blame Chrono for it, will sh*t all over Chrono and Chrono will stop doing these giveaways.
Oh, humanity...
