100-150k Christmas Giveaway/Contest on Thursday, December 22nd @ 7 PM CST

[Scayled]

Followed the last one around Thanksgiving. Although I wish it was on a Friday, will definitely try and make this one again. Even though I didn't win anything, would still recommend had a lot of fun.

Speedi is a saint.

Here we go with more of the same assholes talking about altruism in a 17 year old elf sim raffle. Let the dude do his raffle and promote his twitch stream.

Seriously! Holy shit. To those of you seeking to point out that OPs generosity is somehow diminished because he's promoting his channel are literally the cancer of the world. He's not asking you to buy tickets or create anything at your expense. He's giving away wonderful prizes at zero cost to you, yet here you are complaining about the motives behind the giveaway.

It's because of people like you that there isn't more charity in the world in the first place. Why shouldn't those who do amazing things for others be rewarded, even if it's in a small manner such as a Twitch follow? If the goal of charity is to help others and someone puts in a lot of work to make it happen continuously, aren't they deserving of something?

It's probably just a scheme to write off 100-150k Platinum Pieces on his taxes before the end of the fiscal year.

Holy shit this guy is literally giving away free items, promoting the community, and again, giving away FREE SHIT that isn't easy to obtain and you idiots are mad he wants to do it via twitch stream?

Lhancelot, you are the epitome of "I don't do it so it's stupid" attitude that is just basically your own superiority complex. Get over yourself and take a chill pill.

Everyone else who is complaining pretty much sums up the current state of the server, everyone who plays here expects the devs and anyone else who is offering FREE services to bend over backwards to their demands as if they deserve some kind of customer service here.

Speedi, you are good people and godspeed with your event, just want you to know you are appreciated.

pre-grats to winners and thanks to Speedi for helping out the community.

not mad here but I won't be partaking or watching specifically because its on twitch, it feels less sincere if popularity/follower/ad revenue gains are involved.

this one time in EC tunnel a guy was quitting and gave away all his things, pretty sure he had a fungi on too, had a swarm of people chasing him around shady as he was dropping gear on the ground and then switched to doing /randoms. no twitch or youtube was involved, just a guy doing a legit nice thing for folks when he could have just deleted his character.

There are no ad revenue gains. You don't generate ad revenue by drawing a few dozen P99ers to your Twitch stream.

Look, if you're jumping into a giveaway thread to point out to people that the way someone is conducting their giveaway isn't the most sincere, most selfless, most transparent possible way to do things, you are an asshole. Self-aggrandizement and internet popularity is beside the point - it's a giveaway. Only the most insufferable, pedantic, insecure complainers will point out that a nice gesture is slightly less of a nice gesture because of x or y. It's still a nice gesture. No one with any sense of reality gives a shit about how many followers he has on Twitch. It does not matter. Coming in here and saying Speedi's giveaway "feels less sincere" because he's hosting it on Twitch and gains Twitch followers from doing it is poorly masked jealousy masquerading as virtue.

Majorly applaud your awesomeness for helping the community & your kindness is exemplary. Best of luck to all.
