Man, you Euros are loaded. We almost have $3k BY THE THIRD DAY. Holy crap. At this rate (obviously it'll taper off eventually, but still), we'll be able to send Lange, ehFk and the crew like three times over...

SalamancerMy one gripe about the finals last year was that Arx and Beta got bitchy about Gravelpit and it ruined that part of the cast. A lot of really interesting stuff was happening but the tone of their cast was pretty much "Gpit sucks."

The tone was "it sucks to cast on stage in case the teams hear us calling utility off classing". I don't think they have a problem with playing the map.

I really hope we can reach the target before the 60 days are up and then raise enough to help the Aussies out. I'd really like to see them have a chance to show what they can do, as they don't even get the opportunity to play EU or US teams at ~100 ping, let alone at LAN.

Where is the money going if the goal isn't reached?

Does it go to tf.tv? multiplay? an individual? also who makes that decision?

ShwanWhere is the money going if the goal isn't reached?

Does it go to tf.tv? multiplay? an individual? also who makes that decision?

enigma and I make a joint decision, but to avoid conflict of interest, it's primarily my call. It honestly depends on how much we make; if the team decides to go even with the reduced amount, it will go to them. If not, then we haven't entirely figured out where it will go. It could go to Team Immunity, it could go to the i49 prize pool. But, that seems entirely unlikely, at the moment. :)

KeyIf we exceed our goal, is there a chance to send 2 American teams to i49????

Sorry, no. If we exceed our goal, the first objective is to have better coverage of i49 (staff + equipment); after that will go to the i49 prize pool. Another team would have to raise it themselves.

I would love to see them go too, though this fundraiser is not in cahoots with them. From random words by yuki it sounds like they're more likely to be going than not.

That's a far better idea. Hopefully the momentum keeps going. 60 DAYS 60 GRAND LET'S DO IT

Can I get my weapon signed by Lange rather than one of the team? I just think he's cooler.

I'm sure he'd love to sign it. :) The fundraiser's perk guarantees you get it signed by the winning team.

Lots of people want broder to go and would be willing to donate (same with the Aussies), but it's up to the relevant parties to hold the fundraiser.

I want an American team to go because it adds more credibility (not to mention excitement) to the LAN. I'd rather see EU teams compete to be the best in the world and fail, than compete to be the best in EU alone.

I think some of the money leftover should go towards broder if necessary, considering how much of the money seems to have come from the EU community.

I'd donate to Immunity before broder. If broder can't afford Ryanair to the West Midlands a few months from now they need to ask for more pocket money.

Regardless of whether Broder deserves to go to i49 (and they undoubtedly do), this is the i49 "Send an American Team to Europe" fundraiser. If you start allowing scope creep for additional team funding, you muddy the waters to potential donors. What is my money actually going towards?

This particular fundraiser is not the place to put money for any other purpose, and if you've been donating to the "Send an American Team to Europe" fund with the expectation that it will/should also pay for a European team, you're very misinformed.

If people do want Broder to go to i49, then it's up to Broder or someone acting on their behalf to do the fundraising, whether that's through sponsors or another indiegogo campaign.

That's true Sal, but if this isn't the right thread for Euro and Aussie teams it is the right forum.

This is a fine THREAD. It's not the right FUNDRAISER. I was responding to Atmo's point.

Certainly, let's get the discussion rolling for Aussie and Euro teams! I just think begging for funds from this particular fundraiser for those other purposes is not the right thing to do.

I agree with Fraac though, I just looked at plane tickets from Sweden and it's less than £70. They should be able to afford that if they really want to go.
