UPDATE

The Trillion ISK donation drive. Double the ISK you donate!

The New Player Friendly Raffle 20m a ticket for a chance to win some super-cool prizes.

Newbies for Good - 1m per ticket raffle.

VAERT Boost will boost your ISK by 220% before sending it to the Trillion ISK drive.
______________________________________________________________

Some of us may not have enough ISK to donate a PLEX to the PLEX for Good: Philippines Typhoon Relief program.

Every little bit adds up, and it would be great if all Eve players donate whatever ISK they can easily spare.

One million ISK from each player would buy 800 PLEXes = $12,000 to the relief.

Edit,Nov 29, 2013.
Have cleaned this OP so that it only contains relevant and current information. Will continue to try and keep it focused.

Any colour you like.

Personally, I would only donate to CCP itself... don't trust 3rd parties with it, no matter how honorable they may be. Right person gets access to the ISK, bam... it's wasted.

Yes, if you can afford to donate a PLEX, it is best to contract it to CCP directly.

As it is not possible to donate smaller amounts directly to CCP, third parties are necessary. Scamming related to PLEX for Good is a permaban offense, and CCP will recover any scammed ISK.

It is in the interest of charity that players have different avenues to indulge in this voluntary activity.

Any colour you like.

Please donate what you can, and make this record beating drive even more successful!

There probably should have been the option to send isk to CCP PLEX for GOOD...
Although contracts might be easier to record given how many items are being donated, isk trans could be tens of thousands of transfers and be easily abused :-/

While CCP have pledged to investigate scams related to this, you're really asking them to audit every single plex for good pitch-in effort, because you won't know if it was a scam in the first place. I would only go with an organizer that you can trust implicitly, rather than relying on CCP to do any investigation.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Very good idea i like it.

Also would be nice to see official CCP respond.

My idea, just a button - option in account meanagment where you can sent isk from your assets to CCP.

Also make this therad grow, because got realy good intention.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

I would trust Vaerah Vahroka's thread and no others on this. VV expects his account will be audited as he has held hundreds of PLEX for the drive, and so VV makes everything extremely transparent.

Does CCP even realize that virtual currency will be of no use to Phillipinos in purchasing real-life goods and services? Apparently not.

VV also kinda offered to audit my auction due to trolls/derails/concerns, and I would be totally ok with that.

For every PLEX donated, CCP will give $15 of real world money to Philippines. Not sure why you are suggesting that real world money will not help those in need?

Any colour you like.

I made the same post in the official PLEX for Good thread, and there are a couple of dev responses after my post, and evidence of CCP taking action against scammers.

Mate, I know this is Eve, but this is also charity, and we're all just trying to do what little we can.

I've already donated 13 PLEXes to this program, have 7 more lying at Jita to donate, and will hopefully donate at least 20-30 more once I've liquidated other assets.

Anyway, it is great that you trust VV, and hopefully so do others and I hope this trust results in donations via VV's VAERT.

I already plan to present an audit of my efforts, as mentioned in my Multiple Items Sale post. It would be great if you buy some of this stuff for charity, but I don't really care how you donate, just donate.

If trusting people is an issue, and you cannot afford a PLEX, set up a fund yourself to collect enough for a PLEX, get your corp and alliance mates to contribute, if you still cannot get enough for a PLEX, let me know and I will help.

Any colour you like.

Think there will be a button to donate directly to CCP during the PLEX for Good Charity Live Stream, thus best to donate directly.

Editing OP to reflect this development.

No I will not donate. you see I am an American. I for one am sick of playing captain save a hoe to people we don't know, when something happens. Our government only helps when it benifits them in some self serving way. People never help us therefore I do not feel emotionally obligated to help. The media has been pulling on the heart strings of everyone. Our allies have donated very little. Now, I am going to take my money that CCP wants me to donate and give it to a homless veteran. Take care.
