Skee Ball league is very important!!! And a ton of fun! Thanks Shardlet. I hope you get a code!
I find the whole Steelhunt thing incredibly unfair. If a person can't make it to the signing or is not one of the lucky 3(!!!) at the signing that gets a code, they miss out on a ton of content that those lucky few will be able to see. I doubt this is what Brandon intended as it is just going to create a lot of bad feelings. I am a huge Brandon fan, who has bought many copies of each book (gifts) and I recommend his writing to everyone I know. The fact that I will have no access to this content is incredibly unfair. JMHO.
When this was done last time, each subsequent unique code unlocked more content for the masses. A code could be entered by tons of people to see what was unlocked so far. The first unique code would unlock content, then after 5 more unique codes were entered, another item was released, and so on and so forth. I remember people collaborating on if a code had been picked up from a specific location so that we knew if someone had entered it yet and released the content.
From my reading of Brandon's posts, he is not opposed to people sharing codes, he just doesn't want them displayed publicly. It sounds reasonable to me because there may be a pattern or a secret hidden in the codes themselves.
