Server coming up on renewal. Gonna keep the VERY soft goal at $1450 like last time, but I'd really like to hit ~$2500 to keep the server going for two years. I was poking around Virtual options among other things with Trippy and it would shave a few hundred bucks, but frankly, the work required to switch servers and hosting companies and shit just isn't worth it to me. Here are the inflated options available:

$100 - Grief Title Yourself
$175 - I Grief Title You (Sometime before the next drive. We'll call this the Koster Schedule)
$250 - You Grief Title Someone Else, not Staff - they can change their own grief titles.

Why am I increasing the griefing costs? Frankly, I want as few donations as possible to hit the goal so I can shut the drive down. If we somehow go over it before I shut it down, it'll - as with last time - go into a bucket where I'll buy things for staff if they want it. Full disclosure, only 2 people asked for things last year. That's how shitty gaming was from 2013-2014.

I wish there was non-unique color name, no grief title tier. Basically "I donated" sticker.  That's not too much work?

Your presentation didn't include any stock Unity assets.

I also don't see a list of bullet points designed to reach across the internet and grab me by the nostalgia.

And where is the artwork that is derivative of your past successes?

You call this fundraising?

I don't see how you expect to meet your goal, sir.

Can we get "pay Trippy to make badges work and then give people badges" as a stretch goal?

Probably should have a "pay Trippy to port site to SMF 2.0" first, then.

For some reason when I chose Canada it didn't change the states dropdown to provinces, it's never done that before.  Then it complained when I left the state field blank, so I just picked the first one.  Seemed to go through though.

How about license plate holders? Coffee mugs? Mouse pads?  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Mostly kidding, but I would buy all of the above. Hell, I still use  my lumthemad.net mouse pad.

I'd buy a mousepad with this on it.

Or one that just had the F13.NET part.

I have two mousepads that I believe were sold by F13, so when schild says these never made any money I'm inclined to believe him.

I don't doubt that, since this thread is what has made me aware that such things were ever on sale.

If I sold anything related to f13 now, it would be a reworking of all the shit Chris Roberts Space industry has done. Just parody on parody on parody.
