We also still have a key to give away today  free-key-every-day contest.  Keep checking back for the "code active" signal in the message-of-the-day.

Free-key-every-day contest revisited

Free-key-every-day contest rules and how it works:

1. Do not email us at random times during the day when there is no code, you will be blocked and disqualified.  Only email us when the MOTD says "code active".
2. When a code is active, do not send more than one email.  We check and anyone sending multiple emails is disqualified.
3. When a code is active, do not send an email without your steam name/id.  No steam name/id = you will not win.
4. We will give away one key each day until July 31. Each day starts at 12:00 AM and ends at 11:59 PM that night. Days go by US Eastern Standard Time, see clock on right side of page for local time here. 
5. Each day at a random time there will be a code somewhere on the main page but not on older posts or comments that aren't on the main page. Blog posts on the main page are fair game. 
6. When the code is active each day it will be announced "code active" in the site message text below the main banner (the same line that currently reads "The Original TF2...").
7. There are 2 types of codes: 
• Blog posts: the code can be as simple as emailing us the "# email" in a blog post, or it might be a puzzle or scavenger hunt off-site. If it is a "# email" that means to email us and that whatever that # email in our inbox in order wins. Puzzles and scavenger hunts: follow the directions. 
• Hidden: If there is no blog post then it can be in a picture, it can be text. It will be obvious but not labeled "code" so searching for that word will do you no good. There will be indication of something important or it will be the only obvious change on the page so something is there and you need to look closer. It can be alphanumeric and of any length. 
8. When the code is posted, the person who emails us here with the code and their steam id wins. If it is a "# email", then if you are the correct # in our inbox you win. Anything else not specifically stated it will be the first person to respond. 
9. Winner will be notified via email and can collect the key anytime we are both on Steam. Your steam name will be published after each key is won in a blog post 
10. You can win multiple keys (this rule subject to change at any time if we detect cheating). 

Codes are not:

• "Nasdaq", the stock ticker #'s on the logo banner or "Vintage Vintage", nor is it "Atom", anything written in the message-of-the-day, or typos or any bad grammar. 
• It will never be placed in the "Followers" section. 
• It will never be an acronym or other alternate names for items (ie. Brainslug, GRU, SMG, KGB).
