It tells me I have to enroll in FaceBook.
Um...no thanks?
So...this is some kind of marketing partnership deal with FB?
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Upon creation of the account - it recommended to me people in two other states I've lived in - most of whom I have not spoken to in any way in over 5 years, recommended my actual High School as a follow or whatever. Now, I haven't used this computer for chatting with any of the people it recommended that were in the state my high school was in, none of those people should have had the email address I signed up using. How did it know to link me to these people even as far as recommendations go? THAT is my issue with FB - even putting in minimal and throwaway info I feel it had to somehow violate my privacy if it somehow knew to link me to those people. That is simply too intrusive for my comfort level online - given that I have a stalker ex-husband that I've moved half-a-country away from and he doesn't currently know what part of the country to find me in - believe me, my privacy online is extremely important when my real name or info about who I am friends with is concerned. So, got my emote - TYVM and now the account is set for perma-delete in 14 days. At least until the next time I have to create a throwaway FB. Next time I have to do this I'll use _no_ real info and a hotmail acct or something, but sheesh, throwaway emails are one reason I have a domain. |
i wont ever make a facebook account for any reason whatsoever
Just got it.

Ah, I had my facebook set to UK English... which was a different code entirely; switched it back to US English and the code worked.|

Thanks for the heads up!
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Been an hour, and I'm still locked out of my NCSoft account and they haven't responded to my email :|
Speaking of facepalms...
Tried for a good 15 minutes trying to upgrade my account with the code I was given. Turns out that the thing was defaulting me to the EU account codes for some reason. Which is doubly odd because my fiancée had no such troubles. So if things are going wonky with your attempt to upgrade, make sure you have the right code being given to you.
-edited to add- Yes, I was set to US English in my language. You can change the version you're given by clicking the little US flag in the bottom right of the gadget, though, you don't need to change your FB language settings.

Thank you very much for the heads-up on this. In my case, I don't really feel I have anything to hide. But I do consider my personal, super-hero happy fun escape time to be VRY SRS BZNZ. Which means I'm going to attempt to make a Facebook account JUST for Captain-Electric and not for ME.|

Just a FYI in the small print:
Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or identity. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one in-game facepalm emote by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, Facebook pages, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's plays or submissions (eg "a Like") and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Although to be fair, that small print is apparently nowhere to be found on the promotion page itself, and there's no links to it there or even mention that it's part of a contest. If I had gone to the FB promotion by guess and by golly, I wouldn't have any clue that there are restrictions on the thing.

To all of you who managed to get it - congrats! Glad I was able to help at least a few folks score the awesomeness of the /facepalm. (See? I DO give back to the community that I continually harass.)
BTW, Coolio - if you see this - no, non-Facebook members cannot get it. But that's okay. I can just demoedit the thing as I need it.
