I Took a Chance
$50.
What for?
Ask Grandpa Kim (and a few others).
I love the game and I hope this additional aspect of our competition here will benefit from it.
More later as the site gets registered and available.

I'm glad to see the interest. I have worries that what I am doing will not be great news or even of much interest to a lot of people. BUT, I love the game. And the time the PBW server has been down has allowed me to work on a simple site to rate competition.
Of course, it's completely voluntary. In fact, a person can "join" and still not be required to be in a rated game.
The rules may need some tweaking but I think the crew we have here can roll with the turbulance and even offer suggestions.
But, if Geo (and his helpful crew) can offer the opportunity of the PBW site (and all the worries and concerns it requires), then I can make a small effort for something additional. $50 to take a chance isn't that big of a deal. If it works, OK, if not, at least I can say I tried something for the community.

Re: I Took a Chance
Cool 
If you were to add up all of the money that we have all paid out for our sites, which are mostly dedicated to SEIV, I bet it will top 5 grand easy.
If you factor in all the time those of us who have made things for this game, mods ,shipsets, stories, etc has spent and calculated our time based on an hourly rate, say $16.50 and hour, I'd bet we would break a 100k.
Any takers?

Re: I Took a Chance
Surely NOT me, Attrocities!
And making mods...and shipsets...people REALLY have to love the game!
I once tinkered with shipset design. TOO many maps to mess with. So, I can REALLY appreciate the people who take the time to make new shipsets.
And, then there are the mods. JEEZ! Almost like game design.
Shrapnel certainly has a dedicated crowd! (OH, and a great game!)
