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.

Ahem.

Warning: Attempting to scam in relation to the PLEX for GOOD program will result in the offender, or offenders, being permanently banned from EVE Online.

Also: 2.2 billion ISK raised.

That's 6 PLEX that will be donated on December 5th (3 PLEX from donations, 1 of my own to match, and 1 of my own to make up the difference on the last PLEX).

Keep it going guys!

Donate it to Chribba instead so that Amarr Citizen 155 can double it

I also think the OP shows dedication and I am sure he wants to do good and help.

A player that does not spend real life money for Plex that he then donates to "Plex for Good" creates no real benefit for the victims.

Donating ISK that you got through ratting, loot, PI etc. does not count - at all.

You may have a warm cosy feeling once you assuage your need for a good conscience, pretending you did something altruistic, but in reality it does not help at all.


I fly with a TunDraGon, and he would not be impressed with your cynicism at all.


Who do you fly with pretell? We really dont care about each others feelings so...

Tho tbh i dont share the same sentiment and think the isk doubling thing for plex is nice.

Let's see if we can raise a little bit more.

Things have slowed down, I might be buying the PLEX early.

How much do you need for the next plex?

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I just purchased 4 PLEX and made up the difference on the 5th, so the wallet is sitting at zero ATM.

Go ahead and donate it. If I don't have enough for a 6th PLEX by the 5th, I'll donate that to Amarr Citizen.

Also Marmites only force people to donate plexes, not isk.

Yes. Because the PLEXes bought with that ISK appeared out of thin air.


OT:

I support this thing, even though I already donated my PLEX 4 Good.

Keep it going and as added benefit besides helping the victims...there is paintballs and a CCP person involved, which not only makes it a good deed but also fun.

Not bad Xuixien well done, most of people trust only Chribba, and other (famous people in game) that why lack of interest in this therad anyway nice that you made this kind of service, every plex count even if small amount.

The idea to replace small amount of isk from poor people who want help but cant donate full plex was cool.

I Hope in Future CCP can add this kind of donation as official donation mechanic.

Cherrs, good job.

Thanks!

I really did my best. I tried to just ignore the people accusing me of scamming and focus on the people who wanted to do a good deed. Overall I think this was OP SUCCESS.

Although I can't lie: SuicideGank4Good was definitely a lot more fun. :)
