Sorry, the WiFi on this flight to Fiji is pretty spotty, but I should have a more stable connection at the cottage I'm renting for a month.

thx for the vacation suckerz! 8)

This thread could be the start of a groundbreaking research project on the quick identification of sociopaths.

Secrets should be P99 PR representative.

You know you got some real shitheads here when people pitching a fit over a charity. Open your heart pals.

Yes, but why does it have to be charity? Is that because of the "no profit" rule that is sometimes enforced on emulated servers?

The charity isn't the only one to benefit here. The person streaming this on twitch picked up new subscribers, gaining them more advertising money. The P99 server got more attention, gaining it users and thus donations. It's looking like the recent RMT + casino crackdown was just a way to suppress supply, so as to spike demand just in time for a "legitimate" RMT + casino system.

Hats off to those that had the political acumen to pull this off. The kids win, those running the server win, the one streaming the event wins, the lucky casino winners win, and all we had to do was forego any pretense of consistent server rules.

I'm a little glad, but also sad, that the server I once thought was rad, had instead tried to pad its coffers using this fad, while also helping add to the life of a little lad, whose dad had the work ethic of an unemployed post-grad wearing plaid. -Vlad

Really though, the intentions of helping children are completely pure and intentions are the only thing that matter, right? If other people make a little extra on the side, the children benefit and that's what's important.

The road to hell was paved with good intentions.

Just to clarify, I am not a Twitch partner and therefore do not receive any monetary benefit whatsoever from Twitch.
