Donation sent.  Hope this is the real deal. 

[Keranu]

Thanks for the donations guys, this helps us a lot!

Also to anyone else donating, please include your PCEFX username in the comments.

[Bernie]

hmm..  I think I did that.  Least I hope..  lol

[Keranu]

You're good Bernie, I saw your username in the comments. I figured out BlueBMW's username by his email address.

The check disc order has been made! They won't ship outside the US, so I'll have to mail it to Black_Tiger myself if he's still interested in testing the disc.


"Hey Keelan,

Great - I will get with billing after lunch and get everything moving here. It takes about 3 business days. Once it's completed I will let you know.

As for shipping to Canada. We do not ship outside the US, so I would have to ship to out to you.

Sincerely,
Brian"

And with that said, I will now take donations for the raffle! My Pay Pal ID is keelan_mckenna@yahoo.com, just make sure to indicate it's a donation in the comment box. Any donation amount will qualify for the raffle, so don't feel pressured to donate more than you're comfortable with!

I can definitely test it out if that seems best. I guess it wouldn't spoil the game for anyone. I started work on the artwork for the raffle today.

[Mathius]

I would send a donation if I could afford it at the moment. I have to save my $$ for VGS and the Chicago game stores. Once I get back I'll look into it.

Did you buy the one I sold to Nat?

I did, but unfortunately I have not received any of the things I bought from nat.

Yikes! So he's really MIA.

[Keranu]

Thanks so much, guys! We've now just broke the halfway point for covering the costs of the check disc! Great work!

No sweat Mat, we're well aware of your wholehearted support .

I hope he is okay. I am sure Aaron would have said something if there was some kind of emergency involving nat.

Sorry for the off topic post.

Received and entered into raffle. Thank you!!

[BlueBMW]

Yikes! So he's really MIA.

He contacted me several months ago (after I had already waited some three or four months for the stuff) and explained why he was not around.  I'd say he's ok, but who knows when he might decide to come back around here.

[TheClash603]

It was my idea, so I definitely had to get in on it.

Donation sent!

P.S. - I also offer to donate my penis to any women that need it, for the good of MSR.

[PikachuWarrior]

what's the donation for exactly? ;p

[Sadler]

Reading is your friend.

[PikachuWarrior]

So it's a donation to test the "test version" ? On top of the original cost of $39.99 (if one chooses to) ?

[JoshTurboTrollX]

So it's a donation to test the "test version" ? On top of the original cost of $39.99 (if one chooses to) ?

It was never asked by FU for the extra contributions.  These donations are voluntarily submitted by guys looking to help out.

[PikachuWarrior]

So if I wanted to help out testing that version, I wouldn't be able to without donating? Just seeing, money's tight over here.

[Arkhan Asylum]

The donations are to raise funds for the test-disc master from the pressing house.  Upon donating, you are entered into a raffle.

The winner of the raffle gets the disc.

[PikachuWarrior]

Oh okay, I thought the test disc was already made. Makes sense. Sorry for the confusion!

[Keranu]

Ya, what they said. ^

Thanks to all your generous donations, we've covered the cost for the check disc (in under 24 hours, amazing)! The Turbo/PCE community has to be the most loyal, supportive, and downright coolest out there in the retro gaming scene!

There are currently 10 users entered into the raffle. Should I keep the raffle going until the disc arrives?

[Bernie]

Totally up to you man.

I want a shot at it! I already have the MSR and Jungle Bros. MGC discs. I need the complete set. 

[Keranu]

I'll keep it going longer for 'ya, want to hear other people's opinions for the raffle deadline.

[Mathius]

I was only being half serious. Whatever the majority decides then that will be fine by me.

[mrhaboobi]

donation sent, i know you already covered you costs, but every artist needs some drinking money ;)  or at least some money for a future project.. hoping your chcek disk works!!

[OldRover]

Thanks everyone for helping with this. You guys are the best.

[MotherGunner]

No THANK YOU Rover for NOT being impossibly emo during these roadblocks...

(To paraphrase) "I'm DONE! NEVER AGAIN!  *TEARS* *Slams Door*" - Rover


 

[VestCunt]

Could the additional donations be put toward any other expenses/bonus materials/advertising? If so, keep it open. If not, wind her down before it turns into a lottery.

[Keranu]

Thanks to everyone who has recently donated!

Yeah I don't want this to get too big either and keep receiving money we no longer need. We might still have some pre-order bonus material to cover, other than that we don't have anything that needs funding at the moment.

[Keranu]

OK tell you what, I have 13 people entered into the raffle currently. I'll accept two more contestants into the raffle + Mathius, since I know he wants in on this so bad. Unless you guys think there should be more, then I'll extend it.

Please keep the donations small at this point, even 1 cent will qualify for the raffle!

[OldMan]

Leave the raffle open until you have the disc, and it's been checked. Once you are clear for pressing, then raffle the disc off. I would have a minimum contribution, with # of entries you get based on multiples of that amount, so no one feels short-changed.

Take all the donations you can get, in case Rover changes his mind and decides to get Jungle Bros. pressed.
Or, use the extra money to fund some other projects here. (We really need cd trays for the AbCards).

[Bernie]

I like that idea Old Man.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah! CD TRAYS.

[NecroPhile]

+1 on OldMan's suggestion.  Screw the 1 cent donations just to enter the raffle - either really try to help or just be quiet.

[jlued686]

He's not planning on getting it pressed? That's a shame! Kickstarter!

I concur.

Old Man has a tendency to make sense.

[shubibiman]

Am I too late for the raffle?

Don't feel right being entered without donating. Here is a Lincoln.

[Keranu]

Thanks, Mat! You could've waited to donate, I was gonna take your word for it ;) .

I'd love to send the extra money to fund your CD trays. What exactly do you mean by "with # of entries you get based on multiples by that amount"?

Currently up to $211 in funds!

[OldMan]

He's not planning on getting it pressed? That's a shame!

My understanding was he was planning on going AbCard with Jungle Bros., once we get it all straightened out.
He has said he would never do another RPG, though. I honestly don't know about another CD release.

What exactly do you mean by "with # of entries you get based on multiples by that amount"?

Let's assume the minimum donation is $5. So, if you donate $5, you get 1 entry. Donate $10, get 2 entries. And so on. That allows the people who really, really want to have it to get more chances.

(Though I would also set a maximum to the number of entries you can get, to keep someone from trying to 'buy' the raffle. I would also have any donation guarantee at least 1 entry, so no one feels left out. )

Currently up to $211 in funds!

Good. That's part ways to a second check disc, if the first one is screwed <crosses fingers>
Or some money towards cd trays, if things work out right....But you would have to discuss that with the HuCard case guy. (I can't remember how he spells his name. is it seymore_onion? )

And just to be totally honest, keep in mind Aetherbutt has an interest in seeing all of these things done. Once MSR is pressed, Pyramid Plunder won't be far behind. Any profits from that will probably be plowed into geting the final  AbCards working. Once that happens, we're gonna be looking at getting trays and slip covers for them. So everyone knows, it's not just because we're nice guys.
We're just too broke to do it all ourselves.. <sigh>

[OldRover]

My understanding was he was planning on going AbCard with Jungle Bros., once we get it all straightened out.

No... I said it would have been better on card; it's still gonna be on CD, we just have to make some adjustments.

That sounds good, how about $5 minimum (from here on out) with a max of 5 entries per person? Currently 14 people in the raffle... maybe a max of 30 contestants.

Gah, thank goodness!  I was about to have a heart attack, over 1 1/2 years of working on the soundtrack, down the drain!
