My statements still hold validity. You may not care, but it's possible others do.

I've never debated it wasn't a form of RMT, as a matter of fact, as the GM who handles all RMT related violations, I was solely responsible for ensuring that the "limited RMT license" - though it wasn't called this publicly granted to Norova was followed to the letter so that all the money was properly donated to charity and that the raffle was done in a fair and legitimate way. If this had been, say, an auction, we may have not allowed it and instead requested a raffle (the direct 1:1 trade of an item for real life currency enters a grey area we'd rather not sail this ship through. But who knows, maybe it would be allowed - that would be a Server Administration level question).

So again, yes, we all acknowledge that RMT took place during the charity/donation drive. We all also acknowledge that raising a 15 grand from a 15 year old elfsim community is one hell of an achievement. Nobody here with their head on straight should be trying to go against, stifle, or otherwise devalue or even remove entirely this accomplishment or what it means for P99. We as a staff found it to be a very simple decision to allow this to be put on, and may allow similar events to be put on in the future, so long as we can properly vet all ends of the process to ensure it's legitimately done (ie, the money is going where it's supposed to be going, the items are not "rigged" or "pre-selected" for users who donate/pay the most, etc). As long as it all checks out, it's likely they'll be granted the same restrictive and thorough license I granted Norova and his project.

Like someone stated above - pretty clear that everyone sees the difference between platlord and a charity for dying children here. If not then, well, you probably don't like dying children. I realize they make people feel depressed, but it's kinda fucked up to just give up on them altogether, you feel me?

One last congrats to Norova and everyone who donated to reach such an incredible amount of donations from such a small project - it makes me wonder what the largest ones were.. i'm sure some of the pro players from various games who participated made upwards of 40, 50k. Pretty fantastic that gamers could come together for a day and generate this kind of cash for good causes. Great day for gaming imo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Okay, I think I've got it. Let's say I hypothetically start a non-profit website that sells platinum to the community. You pay 'X' number of dollars and you get a RANDOM chance at receiving 50%, 75%, 90% etc (up to the ratio deemed allowable by p99 staff) of a stated amount of platinum. The site will also buy platinum. For example, someone donates 100$ and gets a chance at winning some percentage of 50k platinum based on a random number generator (let's say this person wins 50% of 50k: 25k). This site will also buy 25k platinum in a different transaction for 50$. Meaning there is an outstanding 50$ balance. That 50$ gets donated to a legitimate charity... let's say for starving children. Would p99 accept this charitable site? I'm sure there would be a great number of people interested as long as it would be run legitimately, and it follows along the lines of all of your criteria.

I was wondering, good sir... Do you look at yourself in the mirror with any contempt/disgust after you finish rules-lawyering ways to leverage the plight of dying children for pixels, or do you just have no conscience or morality at all?
