This thread is in case anything epic happens that you can encapsulate forever.
Like the time I got a fucking email from Gabe Newell. That kind of epic.

Well, as I was checking out at 4:55pm EST (1:55PST) the data imput screen for my address (billing address State) started acting rediculous. Bottom line, I was prevented from completing my purchase before the special offer ran out. The website error prevented me from making the purchase.

Despite this, would you mind helping me out by putting in a word to the Steampowered guys to allow me to purchase TF2 at the special price? I am ready to purchase, and will provide all the information needed.

Thanks for your time, and I will look forward to hearing from you at some point, even if it is just to acknowledge my email or chastise me for lack of patience and foresight.

Re: Gabe, it's me
Glad to hear it.
He is a man of few words and many calories.
