HELP WEEPHUN MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
Life is not fair. It is unfortunate, yet inevitable that some people who spent a lot of time and energy on this are going to get shafted. Then there are those of us who spent minimal (if any) time playing the game who are blessed with convenient locations. Such is Life. Life is not fair.
It is our responsibility, then, to try to make life just a little bit more fair. I think Melissa would want us to work together and help crewmembers in need.
Weephun has done a lot for this game and received a lot of grief for doing it. I think he deserves to go to combat training. Let’s help him get there.
We need to raise $275 to get him to SanFran (I’m adding in $25 to cover tax, which I bet wasn’t included in the price weephun gave me when I asked).
If 25 lurkers out there can donate $10, I’ll pitch in the extra $25.
I think the best way to do this is through paypal, although if anyone has a better idea please pm me with it.
He needs to know TODAY whether we’ll do it, because the airline is offering a sale that won’t last until tomorrow.
WE DID IT
TOTAL AS OF 12:38 CDT 10/28 $390 pledged.
Due to the speed at which people were pledging, we reached our goal before many people had time to register an account with paypal. I think this is outstanding. I have therefore restored the list to give everyone who pledged a donation credit for having done so. The total therefore now reflects the amount promised. This was a team effort.
For those of you who didn't see this thread in the 1 hr 31 min it was active and will make it to an event, please consider volunteering as a sender on Phaedra's SWAG LOTTERY page instead of making personal deals with people. We both feel that only those beekeepers who have either been active on this forum (solving puzzles, spec, etc) or are listed members of the crew on the 404 page should have priority in free swag. Phaedra checks to make sure that true beekeepers will be the only ones getting swag through the lottery. I know we could all make a few bucks selling promo toys, but lets help out those in the community who cannot make it.

I won't have extra cash until the beginning of the month. I have no problem donating, but will that be too late, considering its the 4th? Let me know Kali, I'll try to arrange something for sooner if that will be too late.
Lets help Weephun! He deserves to go!

Help Weephun Well, $25 from Kali, $10 and $10 from daboking and Ikkarus, I'm assuming? I'll pitch in $30.
So, we're up to $75.
Only $200 more to go. That's 20 people donating $10, people, or 8 donating $25. Or even 40 people donating $5. Whatever you can give.
Weephun, can you set up a paypal account for yourself?

Actually, put me down for $20. This is a worthy cause.

We need your email address. I will try to toss $10 your way. Unfortunatly I'm in a broken boat right now, so money is kinda tight.
