Hello, my name is Galgarion, and you have probably never heard of me, but I have been chatting with a fellow EVE player in need of some help, they recently lost their job and are having a hard time finding a new one. I don't really want to out this person, so I will refrain from using their name, but they are very active in the community, so you have most probably spoken with them in the past. They are very friendly and helpful to others, and always willing to lend an ear.

Since it would be strange asking you to donate money for someone who remains anonymous to someone you don't know, I spoke with Coffee Rocks in private, who is also aware of the situation and after our discussion, we decided to approach the pilot and ask if they were ok with it. They felt really guilty about it, but realized that they could really use whatever we can raise to help., and Coffee has agreed to be a 3rd party to collect donations and ensure they go where it's needed.

We are looking to do this from now until Dec 30th, and we won't need to raise much, just somewhere around $200 to help make sure they have food and heat to help them out while they find a job.

Payments can be made to Coffee's paypal *snip* Link removed *snip*~ISD Buldath

200 bucks?
Are you serious?

That's not worth the effort.
Why not raise at least a thousand?

Seriously, what use would be 200 bucks?
And what would be next month when it's used up?

I can confirm the above as well. If you've ever spent time in Slack, or Twitter, or god - any of the other social media - you've definitely chatted with this person. They spend a lot of their time helping others, so I was pleased that someone wanted to do something nice for them.

I have taken a screen shot of my *snip*Link removed*snip*~ISD Buldath (I never use my personal one, so it makes this easy). After the 30th, I can post the total if needed/wanted, too.

I also appreciate that these players trust me with RL money. I'm happy to help, considering I know both the OP and the person who he is raising this money for.

That would be pretty amazing, to be honest, so this person won't feel burdened by financial stress over the next few months. I believe the OP underestimates the giving power of EVE players, and is attempting to be realistic about what he can raise. I guess we'll see :)

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is allowed or not. OP asked me where to post this and I kinda went "shrug - GD?".

I'll confirm it's not a scam. Most people that deal with me for various EVE projects know my RL information (I don't hide it that hard, a quick googling will find it), as well as numerous contact details. He approached me due to that trust factor, as it seemed the most prudent way of ensuring safe handling.

I'll try to remain as transparent as possible with anyone's requests to verify, within reason.

I can't use PayPal and I'm not sure Western Union lets me abuse them again,
but I'll see what I can do. I want him to wear a tshirt, with text written on it.


Bright Yellow on white, saying "Sol said Hi!" giving everyone eyecancer.


Yes, I'm a monster!


I'll check tomorrow.
