I used to have PayPal but they only give you a limited amount for transactions ($2,000 I believe) and I did $2,000 worth of transactions. After that, it requires a fee to use it. That's when I canceled.

I know Geo took checks for donations so...

As far as past donations, that's a good question. Tesco would be the one with final say, but my own opinion is that while your past support is greatly appreciated, the tournament is intended to be a PBW fund raiser. Letting people in on the basis of past donations would kind of defeat that purpose. Plus, while most of the prizes are being donated, I'm not sure all of them are, so there are some costs involved.

Perhaps I was misunderstand. I wasn't trying to say people who had donated in the past should be considered for free entry. I was trying to say that if a person is a person who donates from time-to-time, then they (as I would) should look at it as just another donation (that comes with a free entry to a contest).

I certainly don't want people to think I was trying to finagle my way into the tourney based on past donations--those were just free-and-clear donations.

Ah, well I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that. But I didn't consider it a negative on your part for what I thought you were asking. You have supported PBW quite well over the years. Not just financially either.

Slynky,

If you want, you can send me a check and I can donate via paypal in your name...

email me if you want to do this, certainly not a problem on my end.

Thanks,

Alarik

Great Idea, but I might have vacation problems. If all goes as planned I will be climbing the high mountains until August 22nd.

Any chance of postponing the start of one of the games by one week? The tournament won't be the same without the Primitive Hordes making mayhem

Oh, and just to avoid future embarrasment, I KNOW I am going to get just slaughtered in these things...my playing style/skill is NOT AT ALL good enough to survive in a tourney. But, I just figure it'll be fun as heck and probably make me a bit better...

Thanks,

yes you can pm me for alternate payments. Or email me at seiv (funny a ) tescosamoa (big dot ) com

As for previous payments and on going support of PBW and the tournament fee. I am keeping them seperate. This is a one time shot at raising money for PBW and promotion of SEIV and SEV.

A few of us are paying for prizes out of our pocket and there are 9 copies of the game up for grabs.

SJ and I are running the tourney. With Geo's support and guidence. Natually we will not be playing in the tournament. So no shot at beta test for me.

Primative please send me an email. I have an idea for that... We can dicuss it with Sj and Geo.

Alarikf .... Thats why we have the random prizes to be handed out.... or we would be tossing everything to the machines that rule PBW....

Greetings.

Also note that you don't have to win the game to be eligible for prizes either. That gives us roleplayer types a chance to win.
