Ugh, I really don't recomend people sending money in bill form by mail, to anyone. You have no assurance that the money will get to where it belongs.

If you don't have a credit card, Paypal will let you pay from a checking account. It's very secure.

If someone has a real concern about using Paypal though, drop us an email at admin@pbw.cc and we can discuss it on a case by case basis.

Hey, this is probably something we should have requested before, and it's not nessecary if you feel uncomfortable with it. But when you make a donation, Paypal allows you to make a comment that gets sent to us an email.

What I would like is if you could put your PBW screen name in that comment field. We aren't going to call anyone out and embarass them or anything, but it's easier then trying to figure out who is who from their email addresses.

Of course if you wish to remain anonymous, we respect that totally as well.

bump.

so, now that the server is definitly going to be fixed, we can all feel safe preordering SEIV-gold with the knowledge that we have a place to play.

while people are ordering games, check out the demo for BCT-commander! thats another game im definitly picking up, will i see any of you guys in the BCT arena?

While PBW has been down, I've been manually running the 2 PBW games I'm hosting, and it's taking considerable effort for far worse results.

The amount of missed player turns are way up. There has been at least one plr file for the wrong turn, on all the manual turns so far, in both games. Deadlines keep getting pushed...

Just not being able to see the progress of plr files uploaded is a little disconcerting.

SEIV - PBW = 0

I would've made a donation sooner, but I had to wait for my withdrawal shakes to subside.

Once again, I want to thank all who have donated. It's amazing to see such support for us all. And thanks, also, to those who are spreading the word.

I wanted to allay some concerns of our international Users. Paypal does take international payments; it appears that the fees run to around 8-10% of the cost of the donation. Don't worry about that; Paypal already absorbs fees from the donations, and it's simply the cost of getting your money without waiting for the check to arrive and finding time to cash it.

And, given that a check drawn in US funds is going to cost money anyway, it appears that Paypal may actually be more cost efficient up to US$250 or so.

Thanks again, to everyone.
