xntrikcat Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) For the past few days I’ve been trying to gather support for BB’s Netplay Community. My motivation came from witnessing in person St1ckbug’s enthusiasm and hard work for the game we all love to play, and his recent heartfelt call-to-action in the BB Gameplay forum. I wanted to do something, but as someone, like many of you, who must balance the normalcy of everyday life with my obscure interest in BB, I wasn’t sure what I could possibly do. My conclusion was that if I’m willing to put in good work in any way, the effort can’t go entirely wasted. I couldn’t just sit there and be depressed that BB didn’t make the EVO lineup again, and forever dwell in blame and self pity like some emo kid who asked a cheerleader to the prom and got shoved in his locker by her quarterback boyfriend. Enough small talk – here’s my promise to you Netplayers. 1. I will run tournaments with small prizes regularly. 2. I will host special events showcasing the best of our playerbase. 3. I will support and help organize streaming and grassroots-generated content. 4. I will maintain an active communication w/ the Offline scene, with a goal to send as many of our Netplay heroes to the offline frontier. 5. I will establish a stronger community by promoting active chats and content-generated discussions. With that, I humbly ask anyone who identifies with my mission to kindly show support through the Paypal donation page linked below. Regardless of your contribution, I plan on running tournaments with small prizes coming out of my own pocket. Your small donation could help the scene's longetivity and competitiveness! Get involved today! (Insert coin) (Press start) ******HERE COMES LIMITED TIME OFFER***** Update 1/19/13 *** Matching is Now Closed *** Donate any amount you choose until 1/26/13 11:59PM EST, and I will match as much of the money as personally possible. (around $250?) I will provide a screenshot of the paypal account to prove it. I am certainly not “broke,” but if it does exceed a certain threshold I won’t be able to match dollar-for-dollar. Keep in mind – donating does not guarantee: a. spots in the tournament b. some kind of payoff in the future c. any kind of tax-refundable credit I will use this money to incentivize our tournaments with bigger pots. I will not put all of the donations into one tournament, and I reserve the right to decide the prize money amount, with consent from my advisors. Thank you for your support!
