Fx-Sabers and PlecterLabs R&D support fundraising
« on: June 23, 2010, 12:28:02 AM »
RULES (WIP)

this is now a fund raising operation. Each donnator will receive digital  "Support Postcards". Support Postcards are $5 each, 10 postcards per donnator max, 200 postcards available. I'm going to leave that open for a few days only. Novastar will be in France next week so the idea is to have that ending around the 9th or 10th, of when enough support postcards are sold.
BE QUICK !!


At the end, there will be a CFV5 award based on a complex *deterministic* mathematic formula involving the amount raised, the number of funders, post count of funders and how many backflips Novastar can do in 1 minute. Depending on the fund raising operation result, a second award might be offered too.

- CF affiliates can't participate
- a funder cannot be awarded twice

as discussed with our little green master, I wanted this to be mainly some funding for fx-sabers who is getting 70% of that. To be totally transparent  :)

I'm also getting some actual postcards signed for the support awards. We'll have a little gathering with JQ, Novastar, Saber Project  & myself and I'll get people signing and writing something nice. Pictures will be taken too.

updated title & rules. Topic will be cleaned soon. Please stop posting "count me in" or "good idea", since we know it's going to happen now, after I get a green light from the green guy.

Okay, so by my math, $50.00  is the maximum amount anyone can donate to the the project ($5 x 10 cards.)

Is that right?

Can we pledge more to the project, if we so desire?

Thanks (from to noob)

Just curious, what exactly is a CF Affiliate?

Also

"Depending on the fund raising operation result, a second award might be"

Might be what?

I believe he's saying there might be a second award.  (Sort of like a runner-up prize)

Or a sample from Erv's upcoming salad dressing line.

Personally I'm hoping for the Garlic Ranch...

Thanks erv'

that still doesn't tell me what a CF affiliate is, though I guess it's safe to say that since I don't know, I have no chance of being one!

It's a sabersmith who orders boards from Erv for their sabers that they will sell.

EDIT

Sorry, I was a bit vague there.

That's not entirely accurate as that implies that as long as you order from Erv you are an affiliate.

A good way to spot an affiliate is to spot the Petit Crouton tag in the Sabersmith's signature section.  It's cute and always makes me want soup...

A more serious answer to your question would be better answered here: http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=23894.0.  It answers who an Affiliate is, which is a member of the ISG or International Saber Guild - anyone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.  It also answers the specifics of how the PC was created and other specifics.

I'm not sure if all of erv's affiliates are ISG members,  BARRIS. But we're getting a bit off topic with the affiliate definition.  ;) Lets' try to keep the rest of the posts here on topic.  ;)
