Ok folks, here's the deal. We have just about 24 hours left for the Heroes of Steel kickstarter and I'd like to see the Trese Brothers get their $20k stretch goal. So I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I've calculated my budget and realized that I can throw some more money into the kickstarter, but I want to make it interesting. I'm currently sitting at $100, and have decided that I can throw about.. well.. triple that. I don't really have a place to put the poster or shirt, so that is where you guys come in... Here's my contest, hope you guys want to play..
John's Heroes of Steel donation drive
Rules = Well, here is how it works. If anyone posts in here and pledges to raise their pledge by any amount I will double your pledge. This will go until I max out at the $350 pledge level. e.g. Joe supporter pledges to raise his support by $1, I will raise my pledge by $2.
Who can enter =Anyone! Well, anyone that raises their pledge by at least $1. Change! Everyone who has entered already is still included, but from this point on it will be either an existing backer who ups their pledge by at least $10 or a new pledge of $15 AND posts in this thread
Prizes =Well I live abroad and don't really have any place to put a poster or wear the t-shirt, so everyone who enters gets a chance to win the shirt or poster. I'll put everyone's name into a hat and pull out two names, first person gets the poster and the second person gets the shirt. This is, of course, contingent on me getting up to the $150/$200 pledge level. Change! Currently we have my map and shirt as well as slayernz's map and shirt. The names will be drawn by me and will be given away in this order... 1 -> My map 2-> My shirt 3 -> slayernz's map 4-> slayernz's shirt.
Disclaimer = This is all in good faith, so I'm trusting you guys to be honest. I can't check, and while I'm sure the brothers can check the kickstarter and see your pledges that is a little.... too cynical for me. So I'm trusting you guys to donate what you tell me you will. Also, if you already have a shirt or poster I'm asking that you please let me know. All is fair and you can have a second one, I guess, but I'm mostly doing this so people that can't afford to have them can enjoy those two things.
So that's my idea. If you guys max me out then we will donate a total of $375 more for the TB ($250 of my dollars and $125 of your collective dollars). Doesn't seem like a whole lot when the brothers need $2k more, but every bit helps and if we get the number up closer to $20k people are more likely to kick in a little extra. Please post your pledges here! Post I'll try to keep on top of the thread so I can let everyone know when I've maxed out, but if I can't could you guys try to keep your pledges like this..
Where xxx = your pledge and yyy = the total amount of increase in my pledge.
So what are you waiting for! The Trese Brothers need you!
