Hello guys! Last Friday we offered you to tell us about the episode from your life best described as “I wish I had an “Undo” button”. Here is the link:

However, we put the wrong email at first and had to correct it the next day. When we realized that, we really wished we had an Undo button ;) .
The stories you sent us are much more exciting though. Thank you very much for sending us your great stories. All of them are very interesting, but we had to pick only two. It was a tough choice, but we selected the two that resonate the most with people’s feelings and make the reader feel compassion for the author. So, here are the two best stories, the authors of which will get free 'Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom keys':
Story one
Okay, well, this is a pretty funny, if not painful story, that happened to me in the third grade. So our school was pretty large and for the third grade classes, they were out in this large field away from the main buildings. (Why, I'll never really know.) So, we were quite a ways from the playground so we mostly just used the large field to play in. One day, most of the male students were all playing football, which I was a part of though my issue was that nobody was throwing me the ball even when I was wide open. Now, it's important to know that this was two-handed touch US Football, so there was no tackling of the sort, but as you can probably guess, that wasn't the case eventually. Towards the end of the recess time, the game took a hard hitting turn as I recall two brothers who were playing opposite teams from each other got into it and the whole thing collapsed into almost all the guys getting into a huge dogpile on each other. And from out of the pile came the football so I thought the play was still live and it was my first time touching the ball all recess so I grabbed it and started running towards what we designated as the endzone. I ran as fast as I could since I was so convinced everyone was behind me and trying to tackle me. I ran into the endzone without being touched and started to celebrate because I was so proud. My undo button would've been not to even grab the ball... in order to spare me from the humiliation of no one even caring that I had the ball in the first place! Everyone was still fighting each other and the teachers were trying clear up the pile! So basically, what was one of the proudest moments I ever felt, was turned into one of pure embarrassment and shame since no one even watched me or congratulated me or anything. To make matters worse, I became the most hated boy in the third grade that day since I was the only boy who didn't get banned from recess.
Story two
When I expressed love to my loved one on QQ, it was not her who logged into her account, but her girlfriend. Her girlfriend pretended to accept it herself, but then she clarified the facts and apologized to me and rejected me. If it happened again, I would never say anything without identifying her. Of course, I hope nothing happens.
The keys will be emailed to you today, but the game will be available only at release in Q2 2021.
If you did not win the contest - do not lose heart. We plan to have more community contests along the road and you will have more opportunities to get a free copy of Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom prior to its release.
