EDIT: As of 4/30, we should be all set! We're no longer scrambling for cash; and further donations will help buy him beer and pizza. :D


----------------------------------------------------------------------


Okay!

A bunch of members wanted to send Morrus to Gencon for free as a THANK YOU present for keeping this site going (and growing) for the last few years, and because he has to pay his own way to the ENnies. The fund drive has been going on now for a few months, and we'll soon be bringing it to a close. We wanted to give everyone who wanted to participate a chance - and the chance to win valuable prizes! :D

A few notes:

- Please only donate if you want to say thanks AND you have the money handy. This isn't something that you should give to if you're struggling to meet rent. If you can give, though, that'd be wonderful.

- We've had donations ranging from $3 to $250, with the average ranging from $20-40. No amount too small or too large.

- Mystic Eye Games is giving two $50 wishlists of their stuff to two randomly chosen people who donate! Those people can let MEG Hal know what they want, and he'll take care of them with MEG product. SO COOL; thanks, Doug and Hal!

- If you want to give but just can't afford it, remember that by making this site more fun (helping other people, posting interesting stuff) you're contributing as well.

- We're making this last push before presenting the gift. We'll total things up and give it to him at the end of May.

- If you want to contribute, either Paypal me funds at kevin@kulp.org, or for those folks who don't like Paypal email me and I'll give you my address for a check. I'll confirm by email. Make sure you tell me your user name!

Thank you, everyone! And special thanks to the people who have kept the momentum going on this project. Man, he's going to be thrilled. Let us know if you have any questions.

I did? OH YES, I did. Ha ha! Oh, that spiked punch was such a funny joke. Ha ha! I'm laughing RIGHT NOW! Ha ha!

Plus four other people whose user names I'm missing:

Adam Windsor

That would be Capellan, I believe.

Lurker (sort of)
Come on people I know there are more of you out there. Please donate to someone who makes your life that much more entertaining. Imagine life at work without ENworld, just imagine how boring it would be, if you could not escape for a few minutes ( well hours for me, hopefully my boss does not log on here ) to log into ENworld and catch up on your daily dose of posts and more importantly the story hours ( which reminds me. Piratecat have you updated your story hour recently?? ).

Anyway, where was I, oh yes I remember. Just forgo one trip to Starbucks for the all mighty sustenance of life just one and you have a great donation to the allmighty Morrus. I know there has got to be more than 34 people on here capable of being able to donate... As Piratecat did say though, do not contribute money if it means you are not able to make your rent/mortgage payment, there are other ways to contribute and those ways are just fine.

Everyone if you can please do help us with this, everyone would greatly appreciate it and personally I just want to be able to see Morrus's face when we show how much we appreciate all his efforts.

Ok, I will get off my soap box now since I am sure my boss will want me to get to work now.

Mr P-kitty sir!

When I met Morrus in person, I gave him £10 and told him:

"You know that secret thread in General Discussion? The one you're not allowed to look at? When you're allowed to look at it, you'll know why I'm giving you £10 now."

So please add me to the list of contributors.

I just contributed! I figure even lurkers should pony up some cash for Morrus.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone at GenCon.

Bu...bu...bu...but forego a trip to Starbucks? Nay, it's not possible! The aroma of the beans, the smooth feel of the Café Mocha flowing down my throat, the perfect flavor of a perfect drink -- 'tis not something I can give up.





I'll give up a trip to McDonald's instead :D
Another donation, another *bump!*
