PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

[geoschmo]

This isn't technically correct Slynky. Once you reach the 2000 limit on Paypal you have to become "verified". Being verified doesn't change the fee schedule at all, but it does require that you give Paypal more personal information about yourself and demonstrate that you have a checking account. I can understand people being hesitant to giving out their personal financial information. Heck, I won't even post my mail address. All I will say is that in my experience through PBW and with my personal account I've had no bad experiences with Paypal.

We no longer have the PO Box. It wasn't pulling in enough donations to be worth the cost and hassle.

Mac, I don't have a problem with you giving me your money at Origins. I will get it to Tesco.

Yes, I suppose you may be correct, Geo. I was hesitant to give out more info (in these days of I'Net theft) and I never went through the process...I think I must have assumed there would be a fee (or I misread something).

So, no PO box, no checks, I presume. Hmmmm, as much as I have donated to PBW, an entry fee to the tourney was like a free ride (assuming the entry fee was just another donation). Oh well, I'm sure I can find other games to keep me busy .

Well, I think Tesco is planning on accepting checks from people that want to join but can't use paypal for whatever reason. I think that's why he said to contact him personally for instructions.

As far as past donations, that's a good question. Tesco would be the one with final say, but my own opinion is that while your past support is greatly appreciated, the tournament is intended to be a PBW fund raiser. Letting people in on the basis of past donations would kind of defeat that purpose. Plus, while most of the prizes are being donated, I'm not sure all of them are, so there are some costs involved.

Perhaps I was misunderstand. I wasn't trying to say people who had donated in the past should be considered for free entry. I was trying to say that if a person is a person who donates from time-to-time, then they (as I would) should look at it as just another donation (that comes with a free entry to a contest).

I certainly don't want people to think I was trying to finagle my way into the tourney based on past donations--those were just free-and-clear donations.

Ah, well I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that. But I didn't consider it a negative on your part for what I thought you were asking. You have supported PBW quite well over the years. Not just financially either.

Slynky,

If you want, you can send me a check and I can donate via paypal in your name...

email me if you want to do this, certainly not a problem on my end.

Thanks,

Alarik

Great Idea, but I might have vacation problems. If all goes as planned I will be climbing the high mountains until August 22nd.

Any chance of postponing the start of one of the games by one week? The tournament won't be the same without the Primitive Hordes making mayhem
