Title: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 January 24, 14:03:27
Now that we are settled in Kofistan, we stand to gain a GOOD DEAL if we purchase the subscription block after the setup-block runs out in about 2 months. The Warchest will otherwise last for a considerably shorter amount of time, as Kofistanis are a bit more expensive than urchins. With Catbutt's volunteering of an official office space in a broom closet for us, we stand to save a whopping 36% if you ACT NOW!

NEW! SPECIAL OFFER!
We bring you this SPECIAL OFFER:
For $50, we will give the user of your choice, who does not already have one, the unchangeable horrible avatar, or usertitle, of your choice. Contact by board PM for availability. Void where prohibited.
For $75, as above, only we won't tell them it was you.
For $100, as above, and we will tell them that this atrocity was committed by the other user of your choice.

Also, for $50, you can get your unwanted title or avatar bought for you by someone else removed.

Purchasing these options means the money does not count towards a nobility title.

Additionally, act now, and receive this special offer: Buy one for the price of two, GET ONE ABSOLUTELY FREE!

I'll throw in a little bit of cash this time round. Where is the link to donate? That link on the front page only gives the option on 40 bucks, which is more than I can afford to pay.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: Tsarina on 2010 January 24, 20:07:03
Title is hereby officially claimed.
Same PayPal account as last time?


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 January 24, 20:26:22
Link on post fixed. And you never sent me a claim message, I have nothing in my inbox. Nyah! Plus, you're 12. Your parents get a title, not you. :P

I've donated. :) I don't want anything out of it, I'm happy to just contribute.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: Saikatsu on 2010 January 24, 22:58:45
I completely failed to list my MATY name in the Paypal comment field. Do I just PM that info to Pescado as indicated in older threads?

Continuing the stupidity, how exactly does the title thing work? I'm under the impression that you claim them the next time a drive is open, but I'm not entirely sure. If it's a simple issue of SEARCH MOAR, then I'll go do that.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 January 25, 01:15:16
You inform me of the details you included or didn't include, and I will look you up and get you your title.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: zanzertem on 2010 January 25, 02:11:04
DONATE PEOPLE so I can LURK MOAR and giggle at the flaming in Retardo Land.

I'm watching football in my recliner, and <_< >_> I no see wallet so I'll donate in the morning. It will give me something to do while I'm bored at work besides playing Sims.

EDIT: Just added 20 Simoleons to the war chest =)

Can't wait to see what title I get ....


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!

Threw in $20 as I cannot bear the idea of Sims without Awesome - wish it could have been more! :)


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: uknortherner on 2010 January 25, 12:48:39
Same here. AwesomeMod justifies the $20 fee alone.

Look me up, please. I put my MATY name on the payment notification thingy.

Look me up, please. I put my MATY name on the payment notification thingy.

Hmmm... Come to think of it, I used my existing PayPal account, which technically means I've doxed myself.

Should I be afraid, or very afraid?  :D

Same problem, that is why I didnīt spend until now. No other way round, isnīt it?


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: sewinglady on 2010 January 25, 20:10:00
I have contributed. Now I must sell moar, so if I'm not around much it would be on account of actually working for a change instead of loafing about playing the game all day and all night.

Just looking at it now, it appears that you can donate without an account (you fill out the info from scratch, except you use your nick as your real name and when you get asked at the end if you want to register - just refuse). In my case I signed in with my regular account without thinking. I'm not too worried though because this is Pescado we're talking about here. Other than a spot of P&Ling, I think I'm pretty safe!

I just put my forum nick under "Special instructions to seller" since I didn't want any CC declinations due to name tomfoolery.

It's paypay, so fairly secure.

Would not still be playing Sims without this group, especially Pes.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: Kraken on 2010 January 26, 17:02:48
Pescado, sorry I can't donate this time around at least not yet.  I have a funeral to pay for and most of the finances are tied up until everything is sorted.

Why is your dog pink, anyway?

I think it's because her sim pic used to have a red face and people made comments about it having a retarded red face, at the time she'd already switched to this one so I think it's an attempt at lulz.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: MzDeb on 2010 January 31, 06:11:35
Yep, Kiki's exactly right.  Rohina called me Beetface becaue of the piss poor tint on my old avatar, and it tickled me so much I tinted the new avatar.

At least being doxed by Pes doesn't make me want to go set myself on fire.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 February 01, 22:13:29
If you don't want to be doxed, use a gypsy or business account, or don't claim your title, in which case you are just one more random name and may as well be a sim for all I know.

Post by: jaccirocker on 2010 February 02, 01:12:09
I donated a little today, and will do more on payday. I didn't think about comments box, so where do I send confirmation information? Also, can I have a title?

ETA: Not yet enough for a title.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: uknortherner on 2010 February 02, 02:15:58
Does $20 even buy a title? I've long forgotten the pricing structure from last time.

If not, then I don't need to worry about doxing myself. If so, then I'll have to drop a PM.

This thread (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7074.msg197888.html#msg197888) lists the titles one would receive based on the cumulative sum of their donations back then, if that's what you wanted to know.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: uknortherner on 2010 February 02, 23:28:36
Ah, so it's cumulative then. Sod it - I'll pay the $25 next time around and try to remember not to use my real PP account.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: cherylflamm on 2010 February 04, 05:23:30
I donated, not much I know but did donate. Will send more later. Thanks for being so awesome!


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: Thunderwolf on 2010 February 05, 01:46:44
Any other ways than Paypal? I can't manage it that way...anyhow, send me a note, if there is.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: friendlyquark on 2010 February 06, 04:12:37
I'm so broke right now that its beyond pathetic. However, I gave you forty once through the "Sign up for the password" screen because I didn't know that you had a pay pal account to donate to. So you know I'm good for it. :) As soon as I actually get paid for this cover I'm doing (any time now, ass-hats!) I will shoot you some fiduciary love.

I gave you $40 today, hope that helps.  I've used this site for a long time so it's the least I can do.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: snowyrat on 2010 March 20, 11:52:22
Better late than never. Since The Municipality has not announced superfluity of their cash flow, I contributed today.

If I'm late, then please add my donation to the Beer Foundation.

Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 March 20, 12:34:16
As of this time, we have about 5 months of fuel. To gain a discount, we will need to pay in a yearly slice, so we are not really close to the target, but survive on a monthly basis.

The link is taking me to a site that doesn't recognise my paypal password.  When I go to paypal.com, it doesn't recognise your address.  I guess I'm screwing it up as usual, but help?


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!

The link doesn't take you to any other site. I think you have spyware on your computer and just got phished.

Post by: Jackathyn on 2010 March 25, 10:16:59
You make this game tolerable and provide me with lulz, so I gave $50. Hope it helps.
Seriously, TS2 and 3 are torturous as games and/or implode completely without you. Never giving EA another dollar of mine again. They don't earn it, period; you do. I cannot believe they are allowed to sell what they put out as-is at times.

EDIT: Forgot to attach my username, because I have the dumb. Mine should be easy to pick out- my surname has a curse word in it. Yes, it is my real name. No, it is not a fun name for a girl to have gone to school with. : P


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: friendlyquark on 2010 March 26, 17:36:07
I give you five dollah! It's all I got right now, but will try to send more on next payday (whenever they get around to paying me, that is. :P)

Had a phishing mail just before that, but it was caught before I downloaded it.  I'm checking round my PC anyway & consulting techie son. 

I'd donate, but I need to know what e-mail address works from paypal.com - I can't log in on paypal.com/us which looks to be where your account is registered.
feel free to point & laugh...


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: DMDye on 2010 April 15, 08:05:49

You know...if it wasn't for the fact that I abuse AM so much I would've said screw it. Hell I won't even give my kids $20.00 when they ask let alone some random stranger that I have only known for about a year. Ah well...It's for a good cause and I expect you to slave for that money J.M.  =)

BTW: Have you hit your target yet?


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 April 19, 04:11:30
No. We're only about halfway there. We have about 5 months of fuel right now at the present rates.

Post by: Tangie on 2010 April 19, 21:32:40
You need MOAR cash?? But I never got the title I already paid $75 buckaroos for.  :(

Maybe I can take a look at the budget this weekend and see if I can spare any more right now.

Keep trying Aldonn, the problem this weekend is with the hosting provider.

Do feel free to SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17949.0.html) peoples, if you want to keep MATY ticking over.

Pescado, on that subject how far from target are you exactly? How much money do you need in order to lock in the right deal with your hosting provider? Most of the regular visitors seem to have donated, I don't think it occurs to the casual thousands who use AM that if there's no more MATY, there's no more easy access to Awesomemod.

edit: I've thrown in another 20 bucks, mainly because the last version of AM fixed several bugs in my game which had been annoying the hell out of me.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 July 03, 16:29:45
Our mission target is to reach 28800 SEK. We are currently about half way there, giving us about 6 months worth of fuel.

Also, there is a SPECIAL OFFER announced in the first post. Act now! Give the gift of HAET and FIGHT!

Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: Tsarina on 2010 July 09, 10:08:49
Yo, Pescado, I never got my title last time. I would be much more inclined to donate again if it actually resulted in the promised title.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 July 09, 11:31:39
You're 12, you don't actually have money. Tell your parents to come claim their title.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: friendlyquark on 2010 August 27, 18:45:38
You get five bucks, it's all I can afford right now. Should I ever have money again, you will get more. :P


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 September 23, 01:16:25
FYI: As of the bill being sent out right now, about 4 months of SERVAR funds remain. BUY MOAR MEANLINESS!


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: saraswati on 2010 September 23, 01:33:58
I just threw you another 20 bucks. I used to donate to MTS, I tend to give you my donation cash these days instead.

Pescado, the way things are going are we going to need to move back to the cheap 'n dodgy server space?


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: rohina on 2010 September 23, 02:38:26
I think we need a big donation drive so we can buy a year's worth of servar, since people aren't mean enough to keep the month by month thing viable.


Title: Re: SUPPORT THE MUNICIPALITY!
Post by: saraswati on 2010 September 23, 08:26:03
I think you're right. That and a "progress to total" bar like Delphy does, or at least a "this is what we have/this is what we need" figure right at the beginning of the thread. We keep filling it up and not quite reaching the total, and if we'd have got ourselves organised by now, we would be there already.
