Hey, Kasumi! :3
---------- Post added 03-02-2015 at 09:10 PM ---------- K, now that this is set up, i'm heading to the gym. Be back in a bit! Make sure to behave yourselves. |
Fundraising-wise, once plans are somewhat more concrete, I will be asking staff if my charity mule is permitted to donate a few items and/or gold to the prizes. I also intend to donate some gold and spare items from my personal accounts along with the covering of fees. I intend to sell and/or auction some art for fundraising purposes as well, either on my own or together with some of the other artists who want to help fundraise. (Might even do both, depends on how things go).
|
Hmmm, I would be all right with hosting a dice rolling game for a very special prize and gold.
|
And I've got a link for you to a fundraising thread:
Mini-You Pixel Art Shop: Profits go to URE 15 by yours truly. |
Thanks, guys! I just got back from the gym, so I'm going to hop in the shower before updating anything.
|
Glad see this URE ball finally rolling :)
I wouldn't mind doing a art auction like we did last year to raise money |
We're updated! [yes]
|
Seacows! Seacows! :3
|
ALL the seacows, Dys. [yes]
|
By the time I get around to donating funds and items--including those from my pixel art, those from my personal accounts and potentially those I may get permission for from my charity account--which account should they be sent to?
|
I want to say to send them to my mule, since he has nothing, and then give them to the event mule once it gets rented?
---------- Post added 03-03-2015 at 12:55 AM ---------- But I'm pretty sure that by the time you actually get your donations, we should have the event mule rented, so I wouldn't worry about it. I'll look into it. Right now it's 12:30 and I'm trying to finish some last minute assignments, and then I'm going to sleep. |
Alright. In that case, just poke me when you need me to pay the fees for the mule and everything else. [:P]
|
We'll probably do that possibly tomorrow? I have a lot of downtime between my two classes, and class might even get cancelled tomorrow. It's supposed to snow.
|
Want me to send the gold ahead to you so you can send it when you have a bit of spare time?
|
Yeah, if that's okay.
|
Wouldn't have offered it if it wasn't. To your main or mule--and if mule, username please? <3
