Donation Drive 2011 Update #2

Section: 

We are fewer than 10 days out from the end of the 2011 Donation Drive, and as always we are impossibly grateful at the outpouring of support. I particularly would like to thank all of you who passed along a kind word or personal note; it's made an enjoyable task of managing the drive all that much better. While I've only been able to reply to a few of you, please know I sincerely appreciate the notes.

Along with an updated list of donors -- just under 410 supporters so far -- I'd like to go ahead and thank the team at Wizards of the Coast for adding on to our already pretty cool prize pool for the donation drive. They are sending along a bundle of Magic the Gathering 2012 intro packs and boosters for our giveaway. Add that to a prize pool that already includes some phenomenal artwork from our friends at Irrational Games, a Steam shopping spree, a custom forum icon and of course a console, video card and portable system of your choice.

I remain enthusiastic that we can break 2010's donation drive results, which saw 580 donors, and of course there is always that mythical 600 donor barrier looming just within striking distance. To support the site, help us reach our goal and just join the cool kids in general, see this post. But, for now I really just want to thank all of you who have donated to date.

Thanks go out to ...

Weiner bomb! Weiner bomb! Weiner bomb!

Weiner bomb!

Oh, great. What kind of "prize" is that? Here, kid, you win some crack. First one's free. (-:

Be that as it may, it's still nice and a good price for people already enjoying the game.
For newcomers to this game: It's an awesome strategy game.

But yes, highly addictive and they know it

I'm waiting for *Legion* to donate so we can see where he gets sorted.

Hell, I'm tempted to donate in his name, if the Powers That Be promise to put him last.

Did I get my...

EDIT: ZOOM! ZOOM!

I noticed that KrazyTaco[FO] is not on that list. I can only assume the good size donation I sent several weeks ago was not enough. Message received.

I WOULD HIGH FIVE YOU BUT MY HANDS ARE FULL OFF WEINER BOMBS

Wow, Wizards of the Coast? Irrational? It's like we're a legitimate gaming site or something!

Yyyeeeaaah... why don't you wash up first...

Excellent news!

Excellent news! Another piece of excellent news is that I'm listed on a web page and it's not on that other government webpage...I mean uhh. I should edit that part out of instead of typing even more.

More like two Reverberates (Damn kids and their newfangled spells!).

Late to the party, but finally slipped the bouncer some cold, hard cash. Wait, no *Legion*? The list is not complete!

I prefer the first few days of the drive, when my name is at the top of the list. Who are these interlopers?

I'm always happy when the spoiler turns out to be what I'd thought it should be.

Oh...and....Weiner Bomb!!

Now I'll always know what time it is! Congrats GWJ!

Just donated - thanks!

I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this thread everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

Things are going to start happening to me now.

Finger->butt?

Post for fun. Thank to everyone who helps keep this site going.

Watch out. I've gots a handbag!

Spoiler:

I couldn't think of anything funny (to me at least) to say so I decided to break the rules and say something anyway

Also this site is kinda OK if it wasn't for all these posts. Doesn't anybody appreciate a solid blank background anymore?

Oh and congrats on the donats! This site deserves every penny it gets.

Looks like 9:30 to me.

9:30 to me too, assuming the knob is at 3.
