An Appeal

[Joneagle_X]

Hey guys,

I'm really, really, really loathe to do this, but we need a staff member (me) to go to California for... umm... something that I can't tell you about.

I promise you that it will pay off in some way in the end...

Anyway, it's a matter of awesomeness and I think you'll be happy you helped.

Anyway, to the point. If anyone can spare even $5 toward the cost of a trip to California for something... cool.... please donate what you can.

Send it to my PayPal account. Just go to PayPal.com, then to "send money" and send it to my e-mail, jtietz@tampabay.rr.com

Thanks!!!

P.S. - I will remember who donates. Trust me.

[Fenix]

It's a valid cause, trust me.

[Wlck742]

California FTW!

I don't think I could pay you but I might offer you lodging.

[Rex]

It depends if people trust him, also its probably for the site or w/e since he said staff. Does anyone know another way of sending money with out using a credit card or bank or w/e?

[Meee]

dammit
sorry, but I don't have any way to help you (bank account, paypal etc) :(

Wish ya good luck with whatever it is though!

[ijffdrie]

let me guess, you are going to bliz HQ?

[Fo®Saken]

I could send some money to you. I just have to create myself a paypall account.
Is creating an account there free / risk free?

[Joneagle_X]

Yeah. It's free.

@ Wlck, where do you live???

And yes, it might have something to do with Blizz HQ.

[Joneagle_X]

Also, guys, if three people can donate $50 or so, I SWEAR I will make it worth your while eventually! Promise!

[Fo®Saken]

Ehm, why did you double post? :P

And how much money do you need exactly to make the trip and cover all expenses?

[Joneagle_X]

I need $200 more than I have right now.

And i double posted so it would keep the topic on top and it's Space Junk. :D

[Rex]

Dammit does anyone know a way of sending the money in a way that doesn't require a bank account or anything to do with a bank? Also I believe Jon needs the money within a few days, so mail doesn't work.

[Meee]

I wouldn't send money by mail if I were you. Heck, I'm me and I still wouldn't do it.

[Inside Sin]

I would gladly donate, except i done some work for a guy, he never has paid me yet. ( Website work )

I got ripped... :(

[Tankman131]

i live in Cali, southern that it, outside LA :P

[Joneagle_X]

Any help at all is appreciated, fellas, instructions are above.

I need to purchase my tickets by 4pm tomorrow, so.... help by then would be awesome. Help AFTER that would still be appreciated.

[Tankman131]

ill do it, i live in socal

[Wlck742]

Lol, I just realized that you were headed to Irvine, and unless you want to go all the way to the Bay Area and back down to Irvine, no luck. :P Sorry man.

[Shadowdragon]

I sent 15 bucks. Hope it helps...well, some anyway.

[Psionicz]

If only I had a Paypal account, I could of sent you £25 which is $50 :[ but short notice. Good luck tho.

[Wlck742]

You can sign up if you have a credit card and bank account. It's really fast. Unfortunately I have neither so out of luck there.

[Rex]

Man I just wish I could get money to Jon, but unfortunately I don't have an account at the bank or a bank card. Good luck Jon, and have a safe trip.

[Joneagle_X]

Thanks to ShadowDragon. I appreciate it very much. :D

We're down to $185.

[Wlck742]

Just a question, what happens if you don't get the money you need?

And you're damn lucky for going to Blizzard's HQ.

[Joneagle_X]

I know I'm lucky.

And whatever I don't get just comes additionally out of my pocket, I guess. It's a trip that HAS to be made or we look like idiots.

So no, if you guys don't help I'm probably still going. My bank account is just going to take a huge hit.

[Wlck742]

If you happen to be unable to make it there's at least a few people on these forums that can be trusted and live close(r) to Irvine than you. I'd gladly pay a few hundred bucks to go to Blizzardsville.

[Fenix]

If you would freaking tell me how to do it, I'd send you 50.

[Wlck742]

Do you have a paypal account?

[Joneagle_X]

We're down to $80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this forum.

Seriously, I do.

Thank you to Fenix, Neon, and ShadowDragon. No, more than thank you.

[Wlck742]

God I wish I could send you money.

[myrcutio]

Sent ya $15, hope they tell ya something about the zerg!

[Joneagle_X]

Wow. From a new member that means a lot. I hope you stick around, good sir!!!!!!

Down to $65!

[Light]

Ah, I really wish I had a bank account or something, I would definitely send you some money. Good luck anyway.

[Joneagle_X]

WOW! Because of someone's generosity (I don't know who, I only have their name) this trip is now possible.

Whoever (screen name wise) sent me this latest amount, please contact me and let me know who you are. You will be receiving something for your contribution. Thank you!

[Rex]

;D Awesome the trip will go on!!! :thumbup:

Gl with the trip and hav fun ^_^

[myrcutio]

Grats!

[Joneagle_X]

I can still use money that anyone feels like sending me, still appreciated.

It's just not absolutely needed anymore. :D

[demohunto]

Gl with the trip!
Sorry I couldn't send you money....I'm pretty broke right now.
Be sure to give us some zerg info or perish in hell!!!!! lol jk.

Have fun!

[Wlck742]

The more I think about it the more it seems like Zerg announcement to me. Good luck out there.

[AcE_01]

have a safe trip jon!!

=]

[10-Neon]

Have a dangerous trip Jon. They're going to give you a first-hand experience of what it's like to ride in a Nydus Worm, I just kn-ow it.

[Rex]

Lol I thought you were going to say something about terriosts.

[Joneagle_X]

*BUMP* Still in need of some extra funds, guys. Thank you to those of you who have donated!

[CodyFallsForth]

I may be putting some money in my account for you soon. I have 3 dollars in there atm e.e

[zeratul11]

sorry can't help coz im poor. =\

[Joneagle_X]

Thank you guys. Thank you very sincerely. Those of you who were able to donate have made this trip possible, and I will work very hard to find a way to repay you. But the kindness you guys have showed is exactly the embodiment of this forum that makes it such a fun place.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to those of you who were able to donate, and a thank you to those of you who wished to.

I'm locking this topic because I have enough funds to go.
