Well, time to liquidate my assets and get to it. EVE is more fun when you are space poor anyway.

This is a way for your video gaming to help actual real people who have problems you clearly have no clue about, it saddens me when surrounded by such noteworthy people to be confronted by your weak minded attitudes.

ISK on it's way.

Have You received the ISK?
As AC's ISK have been tied into assets that are currently being liquidated by Grendell I have yet not received the full amount, I have however received a larger chunk (30%+) and more will be sent as Grendell progresses, so I am confident that the matching ISK will be there should we reach the goal.

Why is this off the front page?

Also, can we donate PLEX as well as isk and get the PLEX doubled or is it isk only?

It's primarily for ISK, but sure if you want to do PLEX I can probably do som emagic to get it into the system - unless you rather just contract the PLEX directly to CCP's character.

Hello,

As president of the VAERT ISK to RL donations cash charity I was going to forward a donation to the charity itself, but now I am before two choices:

- Don't do anything, forward to VAERT and keep telling people to keep sending to VAERT and get some e-peen thousand $ display value to attribute to VAERT success when the donation drive will end, gloat about having done things to start this whole new CCP drive and blah blah.

- Choose to actually do the best for RL Philippinos and thus divert donations to VAERT to THIS initiative instead. Because each ISK donated to VAERT could lead to 1 more PLEX = $15, but each ISK donated to this initiative could lead to 2 PLEXes = $30.


Without hesitation I want to go for the second choice.

But before I actually send a donation over here and also tell VAERT's Donors to send their ISK here and not to VAERT, I'd like an official statement about how much of the allocated 1 trillion is still free.
Because if I understand correctly, past 1T the doubling would end and then VAERT would become my priority. In fact I am also allocating things to convert 100% input donation to above 100% output PLEX donation and therefore VAERT would return being the more efficient choice.


TLDR: how much ISK out of the 1T pool is left?

Although I am sure this is thought with good intentions, NONE of the money raised will go to any good, this is just throwing money down the toilet to make yourselves feel better, I ask why? Are you really that desperate to feel human,

AMARR LOCAL IS BEST LOCAL

Who decides what countries deserve help anyway? I noticed from the last plex for good 3 countries ( at least ) had disasters and none of you did a thing,

So I have 12 plexes that I bought a few days ago to donate.

If I donate these to you i.e. this drive, you'll match this donation with 12 plexes? Or will you estimate the ISK value of these plexes and match that value in ISK?

Any colour you like.

Hi Chribba,

If I may ask, how is the process of turning the ISK to PLEX will be done ? Is it based on a certain set price, or current market price when the donation is closed ? Is the PLEX will be purchased when this donation drive complete, or you already have equivalent value of PLEX stashed somewhere ? Big smile

Oh, and 2 trillion is not a small amount..if it is the latter I feel that some people might jack up the price of PLEX for profits...

Since when donating ISK to Red Cross is so bad? I sincerely hope you'll never need them to save you, one of them could remind you about your own statement.

Who ultimately decided for us all, has been a class 5 hurricane. Go argue with it Pirate.

There have been a number of persons whose names I won't make, who further sensibilized CCP about starting and hurrying up with this initiative. Regardless of the reasons that drove those persons, you could have two scenarios:

- Do nothing.
- Do something.

I go for the second, even if 80% of the donations went balls up, even if those who drove this initiative on CCP's head were the worst intentioned sons of a *beep* it's still going to do more good than "Do nothing".

Results Matter.

A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water.
Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.

As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water.

The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied,"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. "But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference."
The boy looked down, frowning for a moment; then bent down to pick up another starfish, smiling as he threw it back into the sea. He replied,


"I made a huge difference to that one!"
