I do agree that it is disappointing that we weren't told right from the beginning that non-US DISers might not be able to play for the prizes, but please realize that the admins did work really hard to see if there was a way they could allow international DISers to play. I PMed Tim and was touched by his response as to how they tried really hard to make it work within the international laws, but the legalities concerning prizes being awarded to non-US residents are such that there was no way for them to be able to include internationals DISers.
As an aside, they are still working on some special way for us to play along, just without the real prizes.....but perhaps a virtual reward. Here is Tim's quote from yesterday:
I did get confirmation from the top that we will be able to work in some fun want to reward non-US residents who would like to play along. It won't be a tangible prize, but it will be something cool that nobody has ever had a chance to do before! As soon as I find out how they want to handle the signups for you guys, I'll let you know. In the meantime, go ahead and PM me if you are interested and I'll be sure to alert you with what to do next.
So while I know it is disappointing, there is still great fun to be had! It will be worth it to stick around!
I am looking forward to having a great time cheering on all of those lucky DISers who get to play for those great prizes!
