<div class="IPBDescription">the man...the mystery....</div> Yo, this is kind of stupid...but I've been thinking about donating money for a while, and after many nights of arguing about paypal with my parents, they still wont let me. So I'm going to send a check! Anyways, I figured I'd send 20 or 30 bucks, but I was wondering if I should write a message or anything....Would it be rude not to? I dont know why, but it seems like I should right a message thanking him or somthing, instead of just 20 bucks and my wonid....If I did that it might sound like, "hey heres 20 bucks, now gimme 2.1 ****!!@!onefour!!!".

So in a nutshell, should I just send money and thats all, or should I send a heart warming letter telling flay how much i wub him AND money.

blah, i'm such an idiot... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah. A check arriving in the mail with no indication about what it's for is going to get some people wary. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Sides, a letter is always nice.



    BTW, it might be better to use a money order instead of check. Far more reliable if you ask me.

    You should probably put your e-mail and SteamID in there, too.

    Scrawl a quick message.
    "Thank you for blessing my life with Natural Selection. j00 pwnt. j00 h4x? omg u don? woa cuz if u dont joo szerrsiously pwnt m4n l8" seems to work fine.

    Oh no you are wrong.

    If I got a check in the mail for $15 for an individual I wouldn't cash it.

    Although legally I could and would owe nothing to the party that sent it, I would be afraid that the dude would show up and demand something for the money.

    Does anyone know for a fact if Flayra is still giving 2.1 to new Const members? I remember hearing that he wasn't, but that might have changed.

    I'd find it difficult to believe that a note would be anti-appreciated, so send one along. Worst that can happen is that it doesn't get read... and what are the chances of that anyway?

    I don't know where you heard that, but from the NS.org front page:

    "Any new people that donate to Constellation will be eligible to help playtest as well, although it may take a day or two to process."

    I think Flayra would appreciate the note very much.

    Banks and credit card companies enjoy sending you checks that have a tiny-print message of "cashing or depositing this check will automatically sign you up for x amount of horrible torture." That's just as bad.

    Flayra loves to get messages.
    All 4 times I donated I sent a nice.
    Thanx for this, thanks for that.
    Just showing my love for the game and what not.
    Proud to be a const member...
    yada, yada.

    Its a bit nice to show him exactly how much you love NS then to just send.

    "Dearest Charlie

    I lied in my bed this evening, just wondering what it would feel like having you at my side, felt your manly and powerful body, felt your breath, felt your touches of tenderness. I makes me go trough all the time we had together, winter, spring, summer and fall, you were always there. You were always able to cut that smile that offered an endless supply of hope, which you generously shared with me.
    But now, now your attention lies with the constellation people and the lack of attention drives me insane, hell, I even go flame innocent people at the general discussion.
    But I want this to end, today, so I withlay 20$ so I can get into the constellation.
    I'm sorry we had to depart, but we will soon be reunited and we together can be in the constellation forum forever.

    Actually, a note with $20 is your chance to tell him how you seriously feel about the game. It's an opportunity so don't waste it. Don't tell him about bugs, tell him about gameplay and your opinion on anything. Don't make radical suggestions; just offer your opinion within the NS game space.

    He'll listen.
