A few people know that I have been mulling over the possibility of having an IC charity event which would raise money to be put towards CCP PLEX for Good program. I am now set on doing that in the very near future but, considering both the novelty of the affair and the need for extra careful planning due to the RL seriousness of the purpose, I would like to open my plans to input from the community prior to an IC announcement. This will done here and on the Backstage forums. What follows is, in no particular order, the plans as they currently are.

Format: Charity dinner, 50 million per plate minimum entry special seating and recognition for individuals with larger donations. A title and award will be given to the largest individual giver (by title I mean something like "Name of Dinner Bestest Giver of YC 116 [yes, the name will improved]).

Time and Location: 12th or 13th of September (after the Alliance Tournament) and starting at 23:00 New Eden time. Location should presumably be somewhat neutral, as the event is open to absolutely everybody, and might take place in Yulai.

Donation Information: CCP Falcon has informed me that without an actual charity drive occurring CCP cannot hold any PLEX raised. I have, however, contacted Vaerah Vahrokha (who runs the most prominent PLEX for Good fund and has established himself as an incredibly well regarded and trusted third party in Eve) who has agreed to add any proceeds to this fund until such time as CCP institutes another drive. As currently planned donations will be made directly to me and then at the conclusion of the event the total amount will be given to Vaerah Vahrokha.

Possibility of Other Activities: If there is interest other events, like an auction, could be arranged to raise funds.

I apologize for the above being slightly scatterbrained but plans are still in the early stage and I felt the best results would require acquiring input from the community as soon as possible. I am looking for input of literally every aspect of the event so please give any suggestions or ask any questions that you believe will be helpful.

Thank you!

If you posted this in Jita local it would look very much at home amongst the ISK scams

You really need to get someone from CCP onboard otherwise it will not sound like anything but a scam.

Had to search for Vaerah Vahrokha. Somone actually known outside of a few forum posts and some PVP action in 2009 like Chribba might also lend your cause more credibility if you could get him onboard.

I suspect any scam involving the term PLEX for Good would be met with some very severe consequenses. I'd also think any proficient scammer is well aware of that. Blink

CCP Falcon did give the event a go ahead. Full disclosure, however, he did say that without an active drive going on the usual security for making sure everything was above board was not in place. VV is a highly respected member of the market community and his PLEX for Good fun is the most prominent in existence. All that can really be said is that is would be in ridiculously poor taste to exploit the PLEX for Good program for personal gain in anyway and even if CCP officially cannot guarantee its normal level of protection I can only imagine that there would be some repercussions for an abuse. I would at least hope.

At this point, however, I am rather disheartened by the lack of interest. It goes without saying that even if it apepars such an event could be supported by the RP community it would necessarily have to be postponed.
