Event - EVO 2013 (Breast Cancer Research Drive) Danger: SG donation drive #2 incoming

[Neuron_Panzer]

Figured this would be worth making an entirely new thread for. From Mike Z @ Skullgirls Forum on SRK:

Important info:
- January 31st, starting sometime between 6-8 PM PST (depends on traffic, go LA) and continuing until the CONTEST ENDS, at midnight.
- Streamed on twitch.tv/eightysixed
- Highlights will include: raffling off an SG artbook signed by all the VAs/me/Alex; more art requests; and me wearing the kilt I promised I'd wear since we were ahead at the end of the last drive! BUT....
- There will again be Surprises with a capital S. Be sure you washed the socks you wore last week.
- So far we have $0 pledged for matching donations made during this new drive. (If you'd like to pledge matching funds, which I can hardly believe since we already did this once, PM me or email sgevodonation@gmail.com.)
- The drive will be held at Frootsii in Sherman Oaks...if you come to Salty Cupcakes, COME TO THIS! (Sorry to you dudes that live in Victorville...)

Ok, so they may have more stuff like the voice actor stuff. This is a big deal as these surprises, if like that, may pull donations from non-SG fans. Plus signed stuff - this will drive their donations at the very end.

They're also asking for funds to be matched again, as you can see.

We need people to be aware of this thus the new thread because we were all so confident we'd snipe them right back when we had that lead. We have the upper hand again, but I bet SG doesn't move much over the coming days - people will wait for this drive. We should use this chance to make that gap massive. Huge. Insurmountable.

After how big their last drive was, we should be prepared.

The last donation drive was super epic, I wouldnt be surprised this next one would be just a powerful.

Of course, only time will tell whether this go big or not.

Lol I like sticking my nose in everything lol

"Clarifications:
- The SG team counts as "publishers" so unfortunately we can't directly donate, but we can damn sure support the community."


Does this mean the SG team that has/had the 3300 waiting to be donated can't donate it anymore?

 

[Revven]

It depends on where the matching was coming from. If it was coming from them, then whatever they were matching with is out. However, that wouldn't exclude anyone from within the community that was planning to match also (as I recall there were some others that were gonna match outside the team) so... they'd still have some grand to work with I think.

 

[MK26]

From what I understand they had outside people willing to match email them before the drive

So no, they still have a fair amount left over

Anywhere between 2 and 5.5k (according to various sources)

We have the Spirit Bomb, and it's going to hit hard than Zhu getting kneed. We got this! :D

screw spirit bombs, we need to WOMBO COMBO skullgirls

 

[Goodin]

it gets real when the WOMBO COMBO is drawn into the equation

 

[BrandX]

Dammit I saw someone make a comment on how SG's is probably going to have their own spirit bomb as well, but I can't find it.

I had this hilarious image in my head that on January 30th/31st, two spirit bombs were going to collide and shake the earth with their mighty thunder, causing it crack open due to the extreme and powerful energy of the two communities...

Jeeze I'm weird...

 

[batistabus]

So...we definitely need to have our fundraisers at the same time (and) up until the deadline. If it's going to come down to the wire, like we all expect it will, I think it'd be better if we're all communicating as much as possible.

 

[rjgbadger]

you guys

all we need to win the poll is to go to where SG has its stream

and break the capture card

 

[Stratocaster]

This really should have been Titled:

Challenger Approaching: A new SG donation drive has appeared!

Missed opportunity...

 

[UltiMario]

Last stream they said there's no way they'd be able to throw together another one like it again since it was such a hassle.

Looks like we're going to need a Wednesday Spirit Bomb and a Thursday Kamehameha to really win.

So who will volunteer to travel to wherever their stream is and break their setup? We'll start a backup fund to bail you out of jail when it happens.
