That's just an example of a progression - obviously if people think things should be moved around/more things added we're happy to oblige

Thanks for the feedback so far guys :)

I'm already dreading the ballswamp costumes...

Hello!

I've made a similar thread over at ozfortress, however I don't want to exclude any of you guys from the discussion/force you to make an account to post so I figured I'd post it up here too.

As this forum has a character limit I can't just directly cross post the full document into here, so I'll just have to drop a link and hope those of you who are interested have a quick skim:

Over the course of the past 7 weeks our intention has been to make it to i49, plan A was to represent our sponsors, and plan B has always been to attempt to compete as an Australian community team. For those of you who don't follow the ozfortress scene we have been the dominant team since the end of 2009, finishing first in every tournament following a runners-up performance in our very first appearance.

The reason for this post is to gauge community interest in a fundraising drive, not only with respect to potential donators but also the expectations of the community at large. We really want to know what you as the community are interested in seeing from us - whether its through donator perks or community threshold benefits. In the document we've provided a few general options, however we think it will be much more beneficial to open it up to the community's interests :)

Yuki has mentioned regularly that our intention is to have a modest target through fundraising, and while the maximum threshold for the drive is set at a comparable figure to the NA drive, as a team we're willing to put up our own funds to guarantee attendance if we can get over the $5k mark from donations - and as a means of balancing out community interests and our own if the total progresses far beyond this we're planning to donate a % (scale not yet determined) of any winnings to charity (e.g. for every $1000 over $5k we'll donate 20%)

tl;dr We're looking to run a fundraiser and would like to know what you as the community would like to see as perks/community threshold benefits. Check out the linked google document for a structured breakdown/more info/some examples of perks!

Thanks

aporia :)

Edit: oh yeah! If you're interested in donating (any amount is humbly appreciated) drop a comment in this thread/send me a pm/contact me on steam - purely for indicative purposes <3

Yuki pretty much covered everything important - a sum of a number of factors has led to us moving away from our (hopeful) plan A and towards plan B. There will be a thread up on ozfortress as soon as possible with general information, our goals, and what we want to give back to the donators and the community as a whole.

I've already drafted the post and we're just waiting for clearance from the ozfortress admins before we go ahead with it - I'll either post a direct link on these forums or just cross-post. One of the main reasons for making an interest-poll is to get some feedback about what the community (not just ozfortress!) might like as perks/your expectations if something like this goes ahead and is successful.

:]

oh no

This is fun :~)

Keep the demos coming!
