Thrash Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Did what I could. If you would've started this before 12/31/11, I surely would've found a way to come up with more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drai Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 [quote name='Olaf Styke' timestamp='1328016461' post='2911509'] Jesus, some attitude you guys have. Here we are, getting together in the spirit of charity and compassion, to raise a bit of money for those few medical professionals who have the guts and dedication to step outside the air-conditioned world of western medicine and get their hands dirty on the frontier... and all you can do is throw insults at VL for having reservations, and now me for having some empathy for the guy? Where is the spirit of compassion? Who cares weather he's suspicious, you guys should be above calling him names in a bloody CHARITY thread. That's only bound to turn people off it. Swallow your pride. It's a good cause. Don't let DWB get caught in IC crossfire. Edit: If you can't empathize or sympathize with VL's hesitation, that's fine, but the mature thing to do would have been to let it slide, not carry on mocking him for it for 2 pages. [/quote] All you two are doing is throwing backhand slaps and getting upset when we push you off. If you don't have something nice to say about a charity drive then get out and go write about it in a blog on the forums. Don't trash a thread because you want to express your concerns about our in-game intentions where people are trying to raise money for an international organization.

kencojenko Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Donate to the charity without going through this system if you think it's a PR stunt. This is just a good fundraising idea. Edited January 31, 2012 by kencojenko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when someone calls them out for it due to the ridiculousness of this notion, [b]that[/b] is what's compromising the Integrity of this thread? OK.

Hereno Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Doctors Without Borders rocks. I was broke during the r/atheism fundraiser they had for DWB, so I'll see if I can't pitch a few dollars towards this before it ends.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGG Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Donated 10bux, feel kinda pathetic compared to some of these other donations, but if we do this again, I will most definitely be able to donate more later this year (hooray getting a job a such). edit: I was bored and did a quick tally of all the donations and what each alliance has accounted for: [code] Alliance Donation MK $1,179.00 Val $305.00 OBR $150.00 VE $110.00 GATO $110.00 SNAFU $100.00 NG $70.50 UE $53.85 IRON $50.00 CCC $50.00 TOP $40.77 Umb $35.00 Anon $20.00 BN $20.00 ODN $20.00 Invicta $10.00 [/code] Anon is anonymous. I don't know what alliance that correlates to. MK has a big lead, followed by Valhalla. Keep 'em coming!

kencojenko Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm stunned by the amount raised so quickly, with so many major alliances yet to contribute. Major props to some of those sizable donations and people should remember that even just a couple of bucks can help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying to do a good thing, we are currently wildly successful, and nobody wants to hear you cry about something in-character for a role-playing game, least of all me. If you've donated, thank you for your generosity; you have made your point - stop. If you haven't and are not intending to, leave and take your holier-than-thou !@#$ with you. I have no more to say to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
