Titinius Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm in college so that's my lunch for a week. 10$ is the best I could do. Good luck with the charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicman657 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) [quote name='bros2' timestamp='1327975609' post='2911143'] As to which alliance raises more? 200 is a rather low bet. [/quote] Our Glorious Leader (o7) is actually funding that bet entirely out of his own nation's pocket. Perhaps their leaders could do the same?

Care to make a wager, MK? Maybe, say, 200 tech? And you wouldn't want to lose to [i]ponies.[/i] Better make sure to dig deep [/quote] I was under the impression your alliance was in greater need of cold hard cash.

Quinoa Rex Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I gave what I could - I'm working part-time at the moment and am in school. I would have liked to give more. Either way, Medecins Sans Frontières is a wonderful organisation and I really encourage anyone who can spare a few dollars to donate. Every bit helps. [quote name='VladimirLenin' timestamp='1327973255' post='2911098'] I did think, and yes, people would (and have). [/quote] I know this might be hard for you to grasp, but we're real and for the most part decent people behind the keyboards and sometimes we like to come together and do a nice thing for no reason. In other words, you don't have any idea what you're talking about so please spare us the !@#$%^&*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, sure, you're the tax collector and we're all Pharisees. The point was to make it fun, and we can raise more among all of us than we could alone. We're not advertising our donation for the sake of advertising it; we're asking if anyone else might like to join us. The concept of trying to grab for the moral high ground in a thread where we're trying to donate to a good cause blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
