Raymac's Beta Key Giveaway

[Raymac]

Well first off, my apologies to Hamma and the rest of the PSU staff for not simply donating my key to the exchange. It is a great program and I know I should be supporting it, however, I've kind of been wanting to do this for my own shits and giggles before I knew there would be an exchange. Plus I'd like to know who my key is going to.

Background - Now to the beef. I bought a PC Gamer (US) a few months ago, but I never entered the Beta Key that was in the magazine. I was holding onto it because I wasn't sure I would need it. Well since I'm currently subscribed to PS1, it turns out 100% for sure that I don't need this key. I've been a huge fan of this site for the past year and a half or so (meaning I'm on here every day), so I always wanted this key to go to a member of this amazing site.

Rules - (Just tell me how to get the freakin key, Raymac)
First, this will be completely biased and likely unfair, so you'll just have to deal with that. Winning the key will be rather simple. Just answer a few basic questions, and I will select the winner based on your answers. There are 4 questions, plus 1 bonus question. All questions must be answered, and all answers must be submitted by Monday 8/6/12 at 2PM PDT. Also, the amount of activity you have on this site including your Join Date and Number of Posts will factor into my decision, although they will not be THE deciding factor.
(1 minor disclaimer. If you are a PS1 vet, don't enter. If you have a key already, don't enter. I'll have no way to verify it, but if you lie to me about those things, I will find out after I'm dead and I will come back and haunt the shit out of you and your ancestors)

Question 1 - Which empire will you be fighting for?
Question 2 - When did you first hear about Planetside 2?
Question 3 - What are you most excited about in Planetside 2?
Question 4 - Why should you get the key over anyone else?
Bonus Question - What is best in life?

Good luck. I'll announce the winner by Tuesday 8/7/12 at 10pm PDT
