Last SG@Evo donation drive, Thursday Jan 31st!

SpaceOutNightmare

I do not want to see all the lice that live in that Jew fro.

I would pay to see you in a tager hat or plat. hat.

Mike_Z

I may stream it from home beforehand.

ANYWAY, just putting this here for future reference why "a small group of people with money to spend" is exactly NOT representative of "which fighting game the community wants at Evo": https://twitter.com/Chindogg21/status/296970826840948736/photo/1

Psst.

Hey Mike, I think you may know, but that's fake.

The guy wanted to do that, but the Melee people were like "eat a dick, homie".

It's fake, I wouldn't worry about it. (You can tell because the service fee is supposed to be 1% + $0.30, so this person donated $20 and pasted another number on it.

But the fact that the situation is entirely viable is kinda bullshit. I mean I could drop like $50k for Skullgirls, get a nice refund in my taxes next year and my vote counts as much as 1000 people who donate $5 because they can't do more. Kinda messed up.

And no, I don't have 50k... that's just theoretical lol

Mike_Z

Oh, I wasn't saying it's bad that it happened, I was saying that's bad that that kind of thing is possible, yes.

[edit] Since you aren't donating directly TO BCRF, I'm not sure this really counts as a tax writeoff?

Doshington

Good luck with the stream Mike! I'm looking forward to it. No matter what happens, I'm sure it'll be an event we won't forget.

I'm pretty sure you can. After all, you only need proof if you're audited, and if you are you have a confirmation e-mail and the drive links do state that all proceeds go to BCRF.

From what I can see here:
http://taxes.about.com/od/deductionscredits/a/CharityDonation.htm

If BCRF is eligible, you can itemize your donations using the confirmation e-mails and claim them. But I'm not sure now. lol

edit: Hmm. Interesting to note is that if you're claiming more than $250 you require a letter acknowledging your donation. Better get on that, high rollers.

I wish I got it in time for my 1080 this year.

Dravidian

I'll be in training mode until the stream.

I just pre-ordered that awesome poster ^_^

SpaceOutNightmare

I cut hanging out and a date short for this.

We better deliver.

I have friends and a girlfriend, I'm doing okay.

Then again if any of the above see this post, I'm going to get laughed at/bitch smacked.

So keep this on the DL.

Spoiler:

Okay, how do I give this to Mike Z for the not raffle, or does this not count?

EDIT:And I just find out I needed to donate 15 to get in, I would have just donated, not bought the poster.

WELCOME TO THE JAM

not so saint

I had power loss and just turned in. Are voicemails still the thing? Where I submit for ruffles?

Fox Pocket

Yeah, it's the same e-mail but make sure they are separate and titled appropriately.

I think your best chance is to send proof with your request to sgevodonation@gmail.com, and put something like "ART REQUEST" in the title so that they know what you're asking for.

This donation drive's just like having a baby: You've just gotta PUSH!

Not really.

OK, I donated another 100 bucks for those 2 drawings and a chance into the raffle. I made sure to put both of those in the title of the e-mail.

SpaceOutNightmare

We're at the heavy damage phase, guys.

Considering matching donations haven't been put in yet, I think this can happen.

Sorry to use ST music, but goddamn it's so good, I wish heavy damage music came back in a game with good music.

Micihiru Yamane, what's good?

Mike actually requested that proof for separate rewards be sent in separate emails - makes it easier to sort and categorize the entries.

Although if you already sent it in it may be too late for that.

zferolie

Why hasn't the matching donations haven't been put in it? isn't this cutting it close?

Oh... gah I missed that. I just thought it would be easier in 1 donation, at least on my card. it sometimes doesn't like multiple quick online transactions. Hope they will still take my donation request...

Only if the pledges aren't staying up and waiting to submit.

Ah ok. I wonder if all those matching donations will give us 20,000 bucks.

Fox Pocket

Don't forget about the poster/ t-shirt sales.

I hope they stop the story playthroughs and really focus on hardcore donation scrounging after this Ms. Fortune one.

Hey everyone.

I just came here all the way through the melee community to say that, whoever wins the donation drive to be at EVO, it was a good game and a pleasure to race you guys to donate for two good causes :D

Leebee Link

Just donated $20. LET'S GO SKULLGIRLS!

deadacid

I love you guys, we did our best!

Master Chibi

SQUIGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Siegmeyer's Shield

Nearly 40,000 dollars in one day. Holy shit, you guys are awesome.

SpaceOutNightmare

A couple of weeks?

Speculation time?

Xbox patch, Squigs coming out on ps3 for now while xbox patch is handled?

So many questions.

Sanger Zonvolt

Squigs! <3

I wish I took a screen shot.

This relieves all my sadness of not making EVO.

Phillies64

That was awesome. Well done, everyone. 78k. Amazing.

-TheBastard-

LOL melee takes it

DaRabidDuckie

Congratulations to the Smash community.

Really, I'm not even mad. In total, we raised over TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS for Breast Cancer Research! Together, our two communities raised $172k ourselves. Seriously, pat yourselves on the back!

Eternal

GGs Melee.

Duckator

konkrete

Need to get mike z's speech to youtube asap

Graymalkin

Just wanted to say commis...

...no, not commiserations. CONGRATULATIONS!

What you all did was amazing. Take a bow.

And Mike - a gentleman to the end.

Sanger Zonvolt

Mike Z's speech was great, nothing but respect.

Skullgirls fought tooth and nail, it proved it has strong community support, and made a lot of money to save boobs, that's all that matters in the end.

Well done everyone.

fluxcore

Great stuff everyone. Great speech by Mike afterwards too. Let's keep this spirit up for the good of Skullgirls!

AerodynOmyx

Yeah considering how much bigger the Smash community is you guys donated way more than enough to make a statement for Skullgirls and give it some well-deserved attention.
