NewbieMcNewbfacePlease bring back the donation widget

That was truktruk's genius, and I doubt we won't use it again. I think we also have a slightly better way to do it this time as well.

gr8stalinWhen do donations open, or are they already?

They're open now :D. You can add me to donate, or TRUKTRUK if I'm not online. This year, I'm also trying to do a much better job of keeping track of what people donate (with a big doc). I don't know how big of an issue it could come to be, but just make sure you're trading with the proper person; our steam URLs are:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/whiskerbiscuit/
http://steamcommunity.com/id/TRUKTRUK/

As far as the other suggestions go, I'll add them to our list of potential ideas :).

I know this will obviously be bias but I enjoyed seeing the surfing and jumping of the last event, would enjoy seeing it again this time.

Will be nice to watch while surfing.

For the races ping will be a concern but if players are just showcasing runs on different maps there's no reason not to have servers at different locations ready to go this time.

I thought the highlander matches were fun. It'd be cool if you could get a Plat pug going and get that casted. Would bring in the highlander crowd.

You could take the fully charged face cam layout, and put each of the video feeds into the corners and have a little discussion with the pub going on in the background.

Just a quick heads up. If you do donate an item your name will be logged for some sort of credits thing we'll do and your items will be transferred to this account as soon as possible: http://steamcommunity.com/id/tipofthehatscharity

We're trying to make this as see-through as possible so if people want their items back for whatever reason we should be able to give them back (and prevent get scammed). This is still the very early stages of planning and collecting items, we'll be updating the OP with more information as we add the ideas suggested among other things.

The removal of most highlander stuff is a real downer to me. I was hoping TotH would be an example of all of the TF2 community being on display to help a good cause, HL being pushed all into one event makes it feel kind of like a sideshow when it is in fact the thing that attracts the most people.

This is fair. The numbers in donations and views were much lower for the highlander casts. However, you're completely right. What about "war-room" coms with stabbystabby (or another popular highlander player) POV in a high level highlander pick up game?

We could use a reddit post on /r/truetf2, since there are much more newer players/highlander players who browse there.

Do you have a bot automating the collection of items? If so, it would be relatively simple to create a website showing the items that are currently collected, the person who donated them, and their current location using the Steam API.

I'm kind of disappointed that the viewer pugs are going to be gone, but I understand.
even though it was the high point of my time last time playing with the people I looked up to, it was ind of boring, and people weren't too good.

But, would it be possible to keep them in, and just not cast them?

otherwise, it looks like it's coming together really well, and I'll try to donate what I can to help out the cause

People weren't too good? The viewer pugs weren't exactly play to win, I'm surprised how seriously many of the players took it last time. (I also thought people were fine.)

Keeping them in and not casting them would be useless, we would lose players and servers we could have for other events on the stream.

I would donate just to see Tyler "TLR" Morgan with Andrew "Dave_AnalCrusher/AntiCheese" Cook play in the bball tourney.

Btw, try playing on koth_bunkalow, seems like a fun new ultiduo map, but I know that seeing ultiduo_baloo on TotH was so cool.

P.S: I'm donating anyway.

AloSecKeeping them in and not casting them would be useless, we would lose players and servers we could have for other events on the stream.

I kind of figured that there could be times for it. I doubt pyyour or misterslin, or whoever would be in the highlander event, or even that those two would draw in the same crowd.

maybe uncasted 6s viewer pugs with invites while the HL stuff is going on, or move some HL to uncasted events if it wasn't as popular with the stream last year.

It would just give people more options

Add:
- Randomizer Pub (no shoutcast)

Remove:
- Most highlander, consolidate it into one big event

what may work for the randomizer concept is to cast one team's comms -- may also be a useful way to include donors/viewers in it as well (say you have maybe 1 viewer to 2 "tf2 personalities" or even a 1:1 ratio?)

were the number for the HL events *THAT* low? why not focus on 2 events, one per day?

Update:
About a week ago OneStepCamp FINALLY received the money. Better late than never I guess, but rest assured this time around the money will go directly to OneStepCamp. This means no waiting time and less transaction fees. There's really no blame for the way it was handled the first time around. Sean contacted OneStepCamp ~2 months before the event repeatedly asking for some sort of PayPal we could link the ImRaising donations with. Long story short we didn't get one for the first event but since they trust us now and seem be in good contact with Sean via Email/Skype I'm sure it won't be a problem for TotH 2.

Today Lange got invited by OneStepCamp to go to a Cubs game with a bunch of the members of the charity. I'm not exactly sure how everything went down so hopefully he'll post about it!

We'll be releasing more information as the event draws nearer. When WhiskerBiscuit gets home I'm going to see if he can make the item donator/donation list public so everything is as see through as possible. Again if you do donate an item your name will be logged for some sort of credits list we'll end up showing on stream. This will also be used if donators want their items back for whatever reason.

As far as ideas are concerned would anyone be interested in watching 6v6/Highlander !rtd matches? I think it would be hilarious. More suggestions are welcome/needed. We're trying to make a set schedule much earlier this year so we can focus on promoting the event, contacting sponsors, collecting item donations, contacting players, organizing players, etc.
