I'll respond to what I can, as I can't respond to things that have not
been set in stone. :)
As for the idlers cheating. This has been alleviated via a 3 hour
expiration. Every 3 hours you must refresh your server activation or
else it expires and you don't gain anymore points.
Then you will be having issues where players are kicked from the que
every 3 hours, which isn't bad. Though this may partially fix the
issue with idlers, someone like me can right a script to about
anything and auto log back into that system. Might want to add a
re-captcha.
Money earned through premium servers and advertisements will be put back
into the contest in the form of better prizes and more prizes. But i
have to at least cover my expenses and make a living. So it might take
a little while to get to that point, but eventually it will happen.
We aren't stating that some of it can't get be used to further the
growth of your company, rather we are stating to increase the prizes
once you have the ability too.
The issue about the too many games. Again, the more players and servers
there are, the more prizes will be available. Also, its not like a
normal lottery where everyone has the same odds. The more points you
have, the higher your odds of winning.
So what I am stating here is that I could make many accounts and
Idle therefore getting me weapons, and I high chance to win.
Plenty of gaming communities have been running contests for years and
Valve has never cracked down on them. Why would they start now?
This isn't like a community run thing, this is a prize for anyone
hosting your token. I can compare it to pinion's setup, but rather
have you checked with Valve, though I due admit they are elusive.
The registration form and support website will be getting an SSL
certificate as soon as possible. But do you realize that your
city/state/country information is fully visible to anyone who looks up
your IP.
Yes, but it isn't exact. This is rather broad and is more of point
of yeah it is close to here, and not your house address.
For legal reasons, those under 13 cannot join the contest. I would
allow it if i could, but its illegal.
Yes, but sadly the fact is that they are a base of players on game
servers now. In my opinion they are probably 25% of the players.
Forum post so you reference, post, point to, state is a lie, or
completely ignore.

I'll address all your valid points:
The Premium/Standard server packages are not set in stone. I'll
rework them to make it more fair.
Once a larger player/server base has joined, i'll increase the prize
amount and add more prizes.

You dont have to worry about your server "talking" to our server.
We're using the same query used by sites like Game-Monitor,
GameTracker, HLSW, HLStatsX, etc.
