No kidding - he's even going to get a couple broadcasts the day of, so I'm really hoping that gets the non-forum going community.

This server can drum up an insane amount of money for things when given a reason to do so - the Pantheon fund drive is a prime example of this, with the Project 1999 donations possibly exceeding $40,000 in less than a month - and definitely breaking the $35,000 mark. When I was initially typing up the donation rewards for us to all talk about, I did the global rewards thinking it'd be impressive if we did 10k - I never expected we'd hit nearly $50,000, and if the Kickstarter had been successful the server would have had a month long experience bonus on Red and Blue. That's some serious buying power - Project 1999 could start feeding small and impoverished third world countries if that kind of money were put towards charity each month.

Tons of people showing their support by making the item pool even better. To try and incentivize more donations, it might be smart to package the cheaper items together. Donating to a good cause should, by itself, be a sufficient reward, but I understand that if you were to win the raffle and get something you can't use and worth little platinum, while the guy next to you got a fungi, you may feel a bit irked at the outcome. Just a thought I had after seeing even more items being donated - you should of course do what you feel is right in the end.

Just about one more day to go until P99 cures Leukemia!

15k in 24 hours. Unbelievable that the community could come together to put on this kind of show. Really quite impressed and satisfied with everyone right now - hopefully there will be more to come. Again, if anyone is interested in doing something like this in the future you must get prior approval from myself in order to do so. Otherwise you will be breaking the server rules regarding RMT, and I'll have to put the absolute least enjoyable and most painful ban on an account that I've ever done.

Again, great job all around, and I hope others can be inspired to perform similar giveaways in the future!

^best donation reward ever, though I very much doubt anyone who donated gave any fucks about this one, I certainly didn't think this thing would hit 10k, so I'm guessing Chest is less than thrilled at this commitment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What was that 15k stretch goal again......? Do we get to hold you to that one or should we be happy with what we got already? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

While we are on this topic, I would urge everyone, during this upcoming holiday season, to remember The Human Fund, also a worthwhile charity. They do good.

I think what you're doing here is pretty cool. Count me in for a donation.
