I'd like to donate personally baked cookies by moi
and Radiance wants to donate some duck from his drawer.

Radiance · June 14, 2011, 04:23:38 PM

no, not that duck. stop putting words in my mouth.

there are a bunch of blank trophies sitting around in my basement but they've all got like a bowling or tennis motif to them. id like to donate those but i'm not sure how appropriate they are for harddrop.

Guys, this thread is meant for serious donations. Please leave it alone if you have no intention of donating. It's not some joke thread.

Radiance, thanks for the donation offers but I'm not sure if people would have any desire for Tennis/bowling trophies as prizes in Tetris tournaments. Thanks though.

I will seriously donate homemade baked cookies
and MiracleBread seriously said he'd donate all of that. Seriously.

Blink - I would defs seriously be happy with tennis/bowling trophies for tetris

That is, if we can't pay for real ones

Blink · June 14, 2011, 06:09:23 PM

Actually Radiance, do you have pictures of them? Your name isn't on them right?

Radiance · June 14, 2011, 06:15:52 PM

no they belonged to the guy who used to own our house. so it has his name on them.

When are these donations gonna be used?

I do think you are trustworthy, Blink. But it's been a while,
and I don't think people are exactly encouraged to donate more at this point

Just use it, or at least have a discussion (I don't mind if it's just with contributors or mods or anything) on what kind of tourney(s) it should be spent.

Some is being used for goofer's challenge, and there was a TOJ tournament we were going to use it for but it got cancelled. I'll host a tournament when I have more free time, and probably put most if not all of the money into it.

would people be encouraged to break their records and also donate if POTM has a $5 prize attached?

Good idea, I might do this starting next month.

Also, if anybody wants to host a tournament and would like some of the prize money put towards it, let me know. I don't have time to host a tournament anytime soon, so this money wouldn't be used in awhile unless member hosted tournaments take some of it.

Tetris Link comes out next week. It should be a prize (cost + shipping). I'll think of a tourny/challenge.

if you need that sort of incentive to break your record then you shouldn't be playing at all.. that's the worst sort of encouragement. Then we'll have to check the "validity" of records.. etc etc.

You should be playing to break your record anyways.. why do you need money involved?

I think the donated money should go towards the up keeping of the site. That's it.
