Childs Play charity 2006 (in Public Record)

I, Sukotto, am re-opening the Charity account for this year's Childs Play. Last year we raised almost $900 (USD) and I'm sure we can help again this year.

I created a new character ChildsPlay2006 and am accepting donations of all kinds. I will sell donated items and CB$ for US$ which I will then donate via paypal.

If you have any concerns about this please speak directly to an admin

Edit: Direct Donation Link

I donate 500k!

Thanks Sukotto!

Who is going to top me???

Hey, What if Jon gave the charity a certian % of all BA purchases for a single day? Then even NCB'ers could help out too....

Thank you for your donation, that's a wonderful way to start!

I'm glad you're working on this again Sukotto. Hopefully we can help make another significant contribution this year.

That's everything I have ATM. This is for a very good cause.

For a good cause i'll donate my Trollskin Armor [22] (+34) $1,173,910 when it comes out of rentals.

I'll do my part :D

Wow, what a great start and such a lot of enthusiasm!

I'll place a few items in auctions tonight and start selling the rares tomorrow or over the weekend..

When does donation time end?

Idea: Clean out all the confiscated items / cash, as well as items that CB took out of play.

That would screw too much with the economy. There was a donation last time and I'm sure there will be again this time.

I'd like to finish and send in the official Carnage Blender donation to Child's Play on Friday, December 15.

Right now, I aim to convert all items to cash by Dec 10, giving me 5 days to do the final auction for USD.

Of course, donations after Dec 10 will be gladly accepted and will do my best to process them by the end of the year.

For those people asking... I'll start selling the rares shortly.

Here's my behalf. :-)

I have started a FS/WTB thread for the 12 items I currently have in inventory.

Please go check them out and bid on anything that interests you! I would really appreciate it if you also encourage others to go look too :-).

Thanks!

Time is running out on my sale. If you want in, _now_ is the time to bid.

Congrats to the winners of the first Charity sale

Thank you to everyone who bid, who told their friends to bid, or who logged in as their friend and bid on their behalf! We earned 4.2 Million CB, which brings the grand total of donations to 11.3M!

The drive isn't over yet so, if you have cash or items you're willing to donate please go right ahead.

Good on ya for keeping this alive on CB, sukkoto.

I'm sending the (now) second highest MC in the game for auction. [grr! at Ranger. =p ]

Descent (Newbie)
Charity (ChildsPlay2006)
A Mithril Cuirass ($4705782)


I wish CB1 was still around. I was the VERY proud owner of the largest claymore in the game, aptly named 'Childs Play'.

If you still have that tower shield I'll buy it for 20k

Another round of generous donations allow me to have another sale. A big thanks to everyone!

When you have room for more ammo let me know. I have about 4.7K Exp Shots I'll send you.

Ok, I'm looking for some community input.

One of the great things about the charity auctions last year was the interaction between people posting bids in the thread.

Due to the restriction on posting to FS/WTB threads I don't really want to do another auction that way. So....

What do you guys think about doing something else? The goal here is to have some fun while raising money for the charity. The ideas at the top of my list for consideration are:

1) Some number of items hidden behind doors. Players bid on the chance to take whatever is behind a door. Highest bidder gets first choice, second highest gets second choice etc.

2) Giant trivia contest (with questions that are tough to figure out via google). Pay to enter... winners get some of the donated items.

3) pay-to-enter game of memory. If you flip over two of the same item, you get to keep it.

4) paper-rock-scissors tourny (perhaps in chat) with the grand prize of... say, an ELS.


Some of these would be a great deal of work for me to pull off but worth it... if everyone would have fun. So, what do you guys think? Do any of these sound like fun? Any other ideas?


I'm aware of timezone differences being a problem. G Bee and Shade have generously offered to help (again) with the drive so we should be able to accommodate two different zones.

Sounds good to me, but i don't know if much interest will be put into them.. seeing as they don't know what they'll be purchasing..

Another way is to possibly ask G-Beee or an admin to allow you to post it in a different thread topic to allow for posting..

I like option 1.

Reminds me of the day of yore, when people (mostly Nixon) would raffle an item in chat (unknown) for the highest bidder.

People, I think, had a great time with it.

Sry about the double post, it was partly in chat but mostly in the FS thread as anyone could post at that time.

Perhaps you can get an admins approval to do something like that in contests where people could post their bid on an unknown lot or item.

No problems with posting your For Sale info in General Forums if you feel it will be easier to manage.

Thank you G Bee. I think I probably will do a sale in General then.

For all the games and contests I expected to reveal the prizes in advance (or, at least, the good prizes). Sorry that wasn't clear.

Actually, I'm becoming enamored of the memory idea. Have a bunch of the cheapest items and one or two really nice items like ELS, TsA, HG. Do some basic combinatorics and probability to figure out how much to charge per try and let people try to find the good items. hmmmmm

But with memory once the good items are gone most won't play.

chappy (Joker2587) 24.123.166.110 Charity (ChildsPlay2006) $1000000 -- from me and deifeln 9:51 PM EST

Mostly from deifeln, but hey :)

Watch for a big sale Tue or Wed next week!

for more

I'm just waiting for the sale.

Sale should go up in a few hours. Sorry for the delay.

The sale is up and running. Please be generous!

The second sale is now finished with bids totaling 4,5555,000!
That brings the charity total up to 17,966,433.

That's so exciting!

Also, a few more items came in after the cutoff for the last sale so we can have one more sale or maybe a contest of some kind.

Then it's into the final round.... selling the CB$ for USD and making our donation!

I'll bid 15 USD per mill ;-)
I am sure that can be topped by some generous persons

can you post your paypal addy for those who would like to just donate some cash to the CB child's play fund?

Thanks for your offer Freed. Several people have messaged me offering to buy the charity cash for USD. (Thank you to everyone who has offered.)

In order to make the charity drive as fair and open as possible, I plan to start a separate bidding thread starting on or around Dec 10 (with the goal of actually sending the cash to Childs Play by Dec 15

deifeln: I'm not sure whether it's better to have the money go through me or directly to Child's Play (in the name of CarnageBlender).

I just asked Kristin over at Childsplay and will post here when I get a reply.

Have you decided as to what day you'll be selling the cb2?

It looks like you are better to donate directly to Childsplay rather than going through me. If anyone does donate that way, I'd appreciate it if you would email me (address in my profile) with the amount so I can record a total for our community.

Also, please tell them you are donating on behalf of carnageblender so they too can record the total for our group. (This isn't truly necessary, but groups with a higher total donation show up higher on their contributer page and therefore make CB more visible). You can tell them the url http://cb2.carnageblender.com?specialoffer=1234 to help them keep track of us. (this will also send referral bonuses to the Charity account)


I have a few last-minute donations to sell off, then I will sell the accumulated cash (right now it's a 18M). That sale should start the evening of Dec 10 (Sunday) and finish up Monday or Tuesday (depending on bidding activity)
