I have this idea, and because I have the attention span of really immature adult with A.D.D. I have no idea how to execute it.
So, I'll give you guys the basic idea and maybe we can all refine a bit so it "works." Remember when a few of us chipped in to show our grattitude for Gyre's (constant!) generousity? What if we started like, a "club" of sorts. Here's what I mean... Basically once a month the members of this circle would all donate--say $5.00 to a central paypal account--at the end of the month all the names of everyone in the "club"..the guys who gave the $5.00 would be put into a hat. 1 name would be picked and it would then be known that person was the winner--with that the rest of the "club members" would have a quick chat about what the winner likes..and then spend however much money is in the pot on that person. Rules would be simple: 1. One winner a month--no exceptions, this way "everyone is a winner". 2. There has to be a limit--you cant have May's winner taking home a loose Ninja Force SE and June's winner taking home a Defiant 3. To make it fun, each person involved would make a list of keywords to give an idea what they would like. Ex: Ninja Force, Divers, Vintage, Marvel, 1988 So, the winner with that list may get a box of something Ninja Force, maybe a Vintage Deep Six, a few original Marvel issues, or maybe something from one of the waves in 1988. Ok--Now I'm thinking we could have an annoucement so we can see who is gonna participate at the end of each month, for the following month. I just don't know how we would stop one month from having 50 donors and next month having 2 donors--we have to have a set donation fee and set ammount of "club members" each month. In closing--alot of people are struggling financially, and some people just have a gift comming to them. This allows everyone, no matter what--it's just a matter of time, to literally get a box at their doorstep with something G.I. Joe inside of it. I just thought overall its a good idea to interact, hook a brother up and have fun--without breaking the bank individually. As you can see there are kinks that need to be worked out, but I think overall it's a "good" idea. What do you guys think? |

oh pitviper... sharing IS caring, so thank you for sharing your idea, it's just that no one is caring .. about it.
I kid, I kid. Put me in whatever lottery will get me a ninja force snake eyes piloting a defiant back in time to 1988's line to tell them how downhill their future as joes are going to be... lest we never speak of the battle corps, star brigade, eco warriors, or DEA again.

I really enjoyed being part of the Drunk/Brokecon where we were giving away or getting random prizes based on specific posts. I didn't win a damned thing, but I did submit a prize that I was happy to give away. The whole event was fun. The trying and the fun of being together was worth more than the actual prizes.
At least I assume that to be the case. This has the potential to be something like that. Depending on the number of participants, it could be a way to get something very nice for a fellow tanker, or win something yourself. The only part I'm not sold on is the random gift idea. What if you guessed wrong?

Pretty cool idea. I'm in, your plan is sound.
Though maybe it'd be just as easy to let the winner pick something on ebay with his winnings with the caveat that it'd have to be Joe related? Takes the pressure off of everyone to figure out what to get, and allows the winner to have a shopping spree. Last edited by LG; 05-13-2010 at 02:36 PM.. |
