Mr. Saturn sprite [KEYCHAINS] Fundraising time!

sprite reidman

    Hey folks, I try to do this as rarely as possible, but the site is very low on money, and we've got some really huge expenses coming up (related to the EB Siege). In addition to those costs, we've got ever-present server bills, so in the end I think that we'll need to raise in the ballpark of $2,000.

    The staff are already doing something to help cover the costs, but we still need to raise the rest of the money. So, I'm going to start a Fundable fundraiser soon. Each person who donates at least $25 to the fundraiser will get all of the normal donor rewards, plus something cool.

    That 'something cool' is what I want this topic to be about.

    I'm considering having the Starman insignia stamped out of metal and making it into keyrings (this place does it for kinda cheap). Do you guys have any other suggestions/ideas?

    [Update:]

    Well, the site is having some technical difficulties, so in lieu of a front-page post for now:


    http://starmen.net/ebsiege/banners/ebs_banner_donate_l.png

    The goal:
    $2,500

    http://starmen.net/ebsiege/donations/fundable_button.png


    If you want to snail mail a donation, send it here (same address as on the donors page):

    Snail Mail Donations
    Reid Young c/o Starmen.Net
    6244-A E Fairmount
    Tucson, AZ 85712


    Once you've donated, please PM me or email me so I can get you added to the preview forum and get your address, if you want a keychain.

    I think that's a great idea. It seems fairly cheap, but at the same time valuable to someone like a starmen.netter.

    Wait...do you have to pay via that site? I don't have a debit/credit card, so I'd much rather send the money in the mail. Is that workable? I'd love to donate to this cause.

    That being said, the little giftie could be a keychain of a random game item. And they could come in little gift boxes. Good luck figuring out how it materialize a Monkey's Love.

        I think a starmen insignia key chain would be super cool! I would definitely donate. Well that will be kind of hard for me since I'm underage and don't have a paypal account, or a credit card for that matter.. I'll still find a way! This has always been one of my favorite sites on the internet and I don't see that changing in the future. There's always been a strong user base here; sure some come and go but for the most part it's pretty solid. I enjoy the community here a lot and I've never come across anyone I didn't like. So I'll do my best to do my part and find a way!

        The keyrings would be cool. I could be walking up to my car, and pull out my keys, and then some creepy guy would notice and say "Hey, you go to sm.net too!" and we could do this awesome SECRET STARMEN.NET HANDSHAKE and then go get a couple of drinks or something and then I'll find out that he stole my wallet and I'll have to spend the whole day canceling credit cards.

          I think we'll probably do the keychain thing. It's the best combination of cheap/legal/cool I can think of. Each donation of $25 = 1 keychain (so you can get 2 keychains if you donate $50, etc). We'll save 20 of the keychains for future use as prizes or something.

          In addition to the keychains, I think we'll offer a sneak peek of the secret project we're working on for the EB Siege (the one that most of these donations will go towards funding).

          We will be accepting non-Paypal donations (checks/money orders/cash) via snail mail as always, so don't worry if you don't have a Paypal account or whatever.

          More information on this later, I hope to get it running soon, maybe tomorrow?

            I'm thinking of asking for it to be smaller and at the end of a short chain, but other than that I think we might go with it.

            I may just have to dip into my computer fund to snag me 1 or 2 of those beauties. Wink

            May I make a small suggestion, though?

            If it wouldn't cost too much, could the insignia actually be on a round piece? Kinda embedded or whatever?
            Seems to me like having a pointy symbol of awesomeness might cause problems in our pockets...

                Then stop wearing David Bowie-in-Labyrinth pants, unless you're hitting on Jennifer Connelly.


                The pants in question, if you wanted to know.

                Awesome. These guys are great:

                Even if there is a cheaper option out there, I think I'm going to go with these guys because they were so responsive/helpful. So, there it is -- the fundraiser gift Very Happy


                The final keychain looks amazing. Those people did a great job!

                Can I mail you a toonie and use my past donations as an excuse to get one of those sexy keychains?

                  Unofficially, yeah. If you've donated in the past and you donate less than $25 then I'll probably still hook you up with a keychain, depending on how much you donated in the past and how much you're donating now. But I don't want to guarantee anything, since things usually go wrong when I start making promises like that ;)

                  To the people who don't want pointy things jabbing them:

                  The edges are rounded so it's not actually pointy. Also, a Mr. Saturn Coin keychain is a brilliant idea as well.

                  The Mr. Saturn Coin idea is a cool idea too, but this is just sexy.
