EVE General Discussion

Hello,

I was in Local the other day and someone said they wanted to help the Philippines, but they were broke in real life, and didn't have the ISK for a PLEX. This got me thinking, and I've come up with an idea. Even if all you have is 10 million ISK, you can make a difference with "ISK for Good!". Here's how:

Simply donate ISK to my alt, "Dream Kim". She is currently sitting at 0 ISK balance, so I can easily keep track of the donations. On December 5th, I will take all this money and purchase PLEXes, which I will then contract to Chribba, who will donate them to PLEX for Good.

• If by December 5th there is not enough ISK in "Dream Kim" wallet for a PLEX, I will make up the difference.
• If by December 5th there is enough ISK to donate 1 PLEX, I will MATCH THIS and donate my own PLEX.
• If by December 5h there is enough ISK for multiple PLEX, I will make up the difference for the final PLEX and donate my own PLEX.
• As per CCP's rules, scamming in this fashion is not allowed, so you have my word.

If Chribba doesn't reply to me or doesn't agree, I will donate the PLEX myself and give the T-Shirts out in a random lottery. If Chribba does agree, he keeps the T-Shirts.

Thank you everyone.

In the time that this has been up, I already have enough ISK for 1 PLEX from donations. So, by December 5th, the absolute minimum that will be donated is 2 PLEX.

I would really like to see this thing take off more! Maybe we can get up to five PLEX - maybe more!

810 million ISK raised!

On December 5th, I will be donating:

1 PLEX from ISK donations.
1 PLEX of my own to match.
1 PLEX that I will be paying the difference on.

That's THREE PLEXES minimum that will be donated on December 5th. And this thread hasn't even been up for an hour yet!

Good job to everyone who has participated so far. Please get the word out and let your friends know. No donation is too small - even 10 million ISK could make the difference between a PLEX going out or not.

Someone asked if they could donate assets as they have no liquid ISK.

YES! Just make sure to send a mail to "Dream Kim" that a contract has been made. Accepting contracts in HISEC only. The assets will be sold in Jita and the ISK added to the pot.

Ok....let me think that through...you "donate" a virtual component with no reallife value, that you Do not own, that does not even belong to you....and think you are helping someone?
Go give one Euro to the red cross...has more impact.

What a nice guy, good on you Xuix, hope this goes well!

Well you can compare isk in game to real money because of game politic, not only in this case but others to, like isk-dolars destroyed in game, since isk cost real money regardig to plex seed in market - value isk -rl money.

Personaly i love fact that me and others can trade virtual goods for somthing good regarding to real life, instead of damn RMT in most cases...

You are a bit wrong,i know what you think and what logic you use, you think that is very importand to pay real money for plex and than donate it, because only by this way you help by paying rl money for plex, but try understand that even somone donate plex by seling virtual goods somone else need to seed market with plex for own RL money, so who paid PR money for my plex in RL is second matter.

This sound a bit stupid that somone use others money to donate but is true due to game politcs:) but from other perspective people do this years long since plex are seed in market... so nothing wrong with this imo.

He still has done a choice: keep the ISK and spend it on on exotic dancers OR start a mechanism that will create money that goes to Philippines. Regardless of who gave CCP the money for the PLEX that will be used, it's the ISK that the donor has chosen to give away that will make the money happen.

That alone is a factor. Good or bad of him? It's irrelevant. What matters is that somebody in Philippines will benefit of it.

That is, the global end of the initiative will be met, regardless of the specific reasons of those who participate.


By the way I also have a charity called VAERT (see my signature) which has gathered enough ISK to create $1500 so far and VAERT is also accepting ISK (small or large) donations, mods and whatever.

You're an idiot. Stop posting.

Each PLEX donated equals 15 dollars to the Red Cross (which is more than one euro). So yes, someone donating is helping someone, no matter how hard you attempt to fallaciously reason to show what a big tough hard-edged cynical truth teller you are. You're not. You're just an idiot.
