As most of you know, the site needs you to pay up.
Lord Borak (server) needs replacement. Christer has already
offered some nice incentives, including that cool little logo between the not-yet-caged snotling and the carved hamball at the top of this page.
I'd like to encourage you some more by offering you your choice of these 4 additional donation rewards. If, together, you guys max out all the options, you will spend a total of $185, and I'll be working/playing my ass off for the foreseeable future:
*Sage advice: a teaching game or a replay analysis. ($9, max 2 per coach,
3 out of 5 remaining)
Intended for newer coaches but welcoming anyone, if you choose this option I will play you for 1 game with any set of races of your choice. If needed, I will make a rookie [L] team for this purpose (meaning I retain the right not to play my existing flings vs your dorfs, for instance). During the game, I will advise you as best I can about both race-specific and general issues; both relating to in-game and team management decisions, and coaching in general. This option is available in Euro evenings only (starting a game between 20.00 and 23.00 bbtime).
Alternatively (especially for people with timezone differences), you can submit a link to a replay that you would like to see analyzed, and I will offer my feedback play-by-play, as well as teambuilding feedback relating to the two teams involved.
*The challenge: beat me and I donate. Beat me hard and I donate more. ($ variable, max $10 entry per coach, max $50 total in the donation drive)
You play either any team of your choice vs my
'nonpickers', or any other matchup that we both agree to. For every positive TD difference you obtain in the challenge game, I will donate an amount matching your entry in the challenge. You challenge me for $10 and win 5-1? You donate $10, and I donate $40. We tie, or I win? You donate $10, I donate nothing. This option is available in Euro evenings only (starting a game between 20.00 and 23.00 bbtime).
*Team logo: I'll design your team logo for you. ($9, max 2 per coach,
4 out of 5 remaining)
I'm no expert, but I'm ok with photoshop and will gladly put something together for you. For some examples of logos I made, see
here,
here,
here, and
here.
*Get boxing, you filthy picker! Make me play goblins in the box ($9, max 2 per coach, max 5 in total in the donation drive)
For every time this option gets selected, I will play one game with goblins in the box. Once the donation drive ends, I will neither actively look for ranked games nor activate other races than goblins until I've played all the games pledged through the donation drive.
Please donate the appropriate amount corresponding to your selected option(s) and send me a PM indicating which options you have selected, what the total amount is that you donated, and the Paypal transaction ID of your donation. You can donate using the "support FUMBBL" button at the top right of the page.
P.S.
For those who are wondering about the options I chose: I'm unretiring
this team. "But it sucks?!", I hear you say? Well, for one thing: it's my FIRST EVER Ranked team. And second: I'm also unretiring
this lady. She really earned the right to gain those 10 SPPs to reach legend, and then get potioned.
