Viridian City 8 is going to be awesome and bigger than ever!

Especially with a awesome new (AND BIGGER!) venue, we gotta pack this in with all the coolest and best people we can get!

Currently we have our sights set on Havok from California and UTDZac from Texas, heard of em, right? :p

We would love for them to come and they would like to as well in return but flights are expensive :/

That's where you all come in! We are holding donations to help get these players here to the East Coast to attend one of the coolest tourneys of the season.

Donations can be sent via paypal to alexstrife@aol.com
Anything helps, even a dollar!

Do these people not have jobs??

But sure, I'll help them out. When they start paying for my gas money to get to tournaments I'll throw them 5 bucks towards their plane tickests.

Get jobs. >_>;

When someone wants to fly me out somewhere, maybe I'll pay the favor forward.
Why would anyone want to fly you out somewhere? lol. Havok is extremely good and one of the nation's best players, and UTD Zac has been ******, and it would be awesome to see how he would do in this region.

I'll put $30 to UTD Zac at the next tourney I see you at Alex. Are you going to Doom's event this weekend? (Havok's cool too but I don't have much to donate, and I assume Havok's going to get more donations... I look forward to seeing both though! :D)

Talking about smashers getting donations from the community to travel, not donating to a close friend to travel. Why would an ordinary smasher pay for the 17th best MK in the country or w/e to fly across the country?

UTD Zac and Havok are both cool people, and I wish them luck

I'm surprised ANYONE would donate money to players that they hardly know....seems like donating to a friend actually makes sense.

I was exaggerating but you get the point, and what you said was stupid.

UTD Zac has helped me and supported me a lot throughout the last year and is a good friend of mine. But my opinion still stands. I'm more interested in the community and interesting tournaments, I guess.

I don't think I could ever care about brawl enough to the point where I would donate top players money in order to make myself think I'm better than I am at the game bc they are my friends.

I'm sure they're cool people. I wish them luck getting there, but making a thread asking for money from top players who win it anyway is in bad taste imo. I'll leave it alone though.

Well this was for helping the community not for getting them money. Some people do have things they need to do outside of this community. Again if you do not want to help, its fine, I respect that but coming into a thread to just disapprove is kinda pointless.

I'd love to help out, but I don't even have enough money to afford the trip myself... even though I will be there. lol.
But if anyone wants to help me out I will make a cardboard sign that reads "Will Smash for Food".

I very much wanted to come to this. Alex has been trying and trying his butt off to get to shipped to one of his tournaments (including apex2010), but I just haven't been able to make any of them. College Tuition ate up all of my savings from my summer job, that and rent being a buttload hurts. I've been trying harder at local tourneys to save up money to make this, but the overall cost of a plane ticket is just really hard on me right now.

For everyone that helps me get out there, even if they donate only a $1, I'll make you guys something... idk what... but I'll do it. Maybe something in Minecraft xD

Thanks everyone, especially Vinnie, for the support.

If 51 people give 10 bucks could I get 10 bucks to help pay for my bus ticket?
I spend a week traveling across the country sleeping on a bus and it costs more than flying :^[

This is my bus info:

lol, if a plane costs less why are you bussing! I think this is really on the people who will be attending VC8. I wouldnt mind tossing in $10 or more if this was an event I was actually going to.

Edit: well I just noticed this was in AN Social >.> was linked here oops.

Thanks for setting this up my friend.

I do have a job. I just pay my own tuition at a State University. By myself. No bueno when it comes to money for traveling, I'm scraping to get to MLG's.

ALEX!

I just checked my schedule (or syllabus) for my classes and I have a midterm paper due on that Friday and a test on Monday. That's way too intense.

I can't go :(

But I appreciate the fact that you wanted to help me travel :) And to those that were going to chip in for me. Thank you so much! School = priority.

Thanks again!

Knock it off with the trolling guys, this is like a Brawl version of the "Good Player Fund" that Waffles started, and that was a hit. It created hype for tournaments that used it, gave Waffles a player to upload matches of that he didn't normally upload matches of, and gave a good player a chance to shine in a region he doesn't typically play in. Everyone wins, really.

And you don't HAVE to donate, it's optional. That's what a donation is. You're literally whining over nothing.

I WILL however request that tons of videos from the event go up. Gotta give the people what they paid for, right? :)

Someone just donate $155 dollars and it's a done deal.

And remember (written on my cardboard sign):

Will Smash for Food.
