Yes, and I think what we are both saying in response is;

That's what they do ingame, but this is basically a charity appeal. Should two sides in a sport not come togethter for their community?

No one is being called out, the finger pointing is going in one direction, and I think its been pretty civil around here.
I caught myself on earlier, but then realised that this is not a thread to debate the moral inequities of the human condition :)

So, like vote for this guy, or dont. Happy Rabbitegg Day.


Agreed. And hopefully people who see this thread and think "uggg goon" and "ugg minerbumping" will read the latter part of the posts and see that its not just a case of minerbumping spewing nonsence, that it is actually a serious post with a serious story involved.

But certain people in this thread cant expect everyone to take this a face value... There is bound to be bias from both sides...

Anywho, I have had my say, hopefully people will read it and the replies to it and make a decision therein...

Happy rabbitegg day to you too... I saw an amazing image earlier of how the Easter bunny was made Lol

Expected normal GD bull but that's not the case.

I could care less who you are in game, they are called "Characters" for a reason.

Voting and +1 for the thread.

To everyone else, at least read the link before writing this off as a waste of time.

*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

I went and voted for the guy, got 2 votes for answering a quiz question correctly. Hope he gets his ride and is able to have a little more mobility.

I really couldn't figure out why someone was having a popularity contest to decide who to help out. Seems about as delightful as middle school gym class when the coach would appoint 2 team captains and then have them pick their team members 1 by 1. Computer nerds get picked last in middle school gym class in case you were wondering. I remind them of that when they come to my house to fix things now.

But then I saw carebears sperging all over the mb page and suddenly I really wanted that Goon to get his van. So account created and vote sent in. Tomorrow I'm going to spill carebear blood in Eve in Avalloc's name. I was going to explode them anyway to be honest, but now *reasons*.

Malcolm, just like everyone else, I respect your opinion (and also found some of the comments at mb distasteful, but that's par for the course unfortunately).

At the end of the day however, the important thing is that as many people are motivated to vote as possible, because helping Avalloc gain more mobility is an outcome that everyone in the community, no matter whether they vote or not, could probably applaud if it happens.

I'm all for personal choice and personal responsibility in game - for all players. However, I hope your post above isn't read as a challenge or attack by others and the thread runs off topic.

It would be great if we can keep this focused on helping Avalloc and not turn it into a thread that descends into something else.

Nah, not bad really.

There have been a number of opposing views expressed in the thread. Some the other way were bound to happen too.

I'll just try to keep a lid on them if I can so the thread stays on topic as much as possible. But I'm no hall monitor and clearly everyone is free to express what they like.

I'll admit, I haven't read anything past the first page of this thread, but I would like to point out that this man also runs the TESTpleasebuy.com store and donates half of what he earns there to the upkeep of TEST's IT services.

He is a total bro and deserves this!

Vote for him, don't vote for him. If he loses it'll go to someone else who needs it probably just as much.

+1 - I'll be voting for this guy to win the van every day!

Unfortunately for him, I don't like Goonswarm.

True...however - I see it as a situation where I can't do much for all those other people, but I now have an opportunity to give this guy a hand (and it's pretty easy...*type 4 registration fields one time -*click*...done). If I could, I'd get all those other people one, but for now I'll have to settle for doing a small thing for just one of them. Whatever one's opinion of the guy's online associations and/or choices of contribution is irrelevant. This is a RL issue and if one advocates for folks not to separate their game personas and actions from their RL person and actions, then it seems to me that one might be keen not to allow someone's ingame persona/actions/affiliations to prevent one from helping that person out IRL. As for the minerbumping.con thing - this issue has nothing to do with that site. That place was merely one vehicle of many used to spread the information.

As for the GOATSE plate idea...Ugh You guys can come up with better suggestions than that, cantcha? How 'bout ILV VFK, RIP VR, SA BOI, SOLODB or something? (...or better yet: PNY 4LF, 9GAGR Blink )

Voted again today (since one can vote every 24 hrs). Did the "get extra vote" question, too. Sure was easy. I hope people aren't going to let this fade away...

+2 more.

The bonus question answer always looks to be "both" btw

Looking at the numbers since I voted a few hours ago, it's picking up pace - 221 votes cast this afternoon.

You'd really not help someone out because "grr, goons"?

I don't even think PL would be on your side.


No, I'm not helping because I simply do not feel a pull to, and because of the dilemma of having to choose to favor one contestant I don't know over a bunch of other contestants I know equally as little about personally. I don't care that he's in Goonswarm, and I don't even know what "grr, goons" is.

PL was never on my side to begin with.

Still voting every day.

If you don't like goons, that's fine. Vote for the person with the best taste in video games instead.
