1 year of FML down!
In July of 2011, FML Season 10 was announced and we got the FFA scene rolling again! Thank you to everyone who has helped out over the last year and made the league a success once again! It has been a great ride and I can only hope that we can do another year!
But, with one year down comes a check in the mail for hosting payments... I got away cheap last year with a special discount but I wasn't so lucky this time around. To renew the site and keep us running I fronted a $124.35 bill for hosting and use of the site backup/restore feature. This doesn't include the domain, but that isn't so expensive. Now, I have no issues at all with paying for this as I enjoy running FML but if anyone would like to help out with payments, I would be greatful!
I will be putting up a paypal donation button on the site. All money received through this will be put towards the FFA Masters league webhost costs. If receive 60% of the previous mentioned bill (~$75), the rest will go towards prize money for the next season! You may donate as much or as little as you would like.
Furthermore, I will be giving members who donate special website access as a thank you:
-Access to the "FML Champion" message board
-Addition to the "FML Champion" membergroup which changes your account a special color (green) in the online list and forums.
Just be sure to send me an email if you donated so I can add you to the group. Thanks!

What if you receive too much donations? :D
I'm ok to give, but just post who gave and how much so everything is crystal clear
-
After $75 is donated, the rest will go towards prize money for whatever the next season is! For the record, so I don't look like a greedy bastard, $75 is half of what i'm paying if you include the domain into the costs. Last year I only had to pay about $50 total. :(
Yeah, i'll post the donors and how much they donated! Unless they'd prefer to remain anonymous.
-
I'll pay 15$!
-
Two donations so far. Thanks guys! Some funny donation messages too. haha
Wrecktify - $25: "make me green gayface. Since im ranting about how much I hate you as a head admin I figured id also point out the donation so you knew I also liked you as a head admin."
Ugrilainen - $15: "Use the force well little jedi"
-
Once again wrect is beating the shit out of me
Fine get these 150$ wpx!
-
Didn't know how to send a message with the donation, but gave 25.50 so I could 1 up wrecktify and make him look like a noob.
-
Thanks bright, but you got one-up'ed already... haha! Anonymous donation of $50!
Didn't take long to pass the $75 mark! Looks like we're going to have a prize for FML S13! So far at $40.50!
Thank you everyone who donated! The FML Community is still the best around!

Never said I had to 1 up anon just had to 1 up wreck. So i still win.
-
I could just donate 51 cents to beat you though 8D
-
Then Ill donate even more and we would get into a battle that might never end!
-
wow nice idea. Maybe we even get more new players to Season 14 if we offer a prizepool for the winners.
-
i predict even more disputes, flaming, suicides etc. when money is involved :icon_rolleyes:

See, I predict the exact opposite. People playing super passive instead of taking risks. I dunno, it's all speculation until we actually try it.
-
I predict the longest FML Finals game ever haha. It's why I'm in favor of making the prize rather small so people play FML for the love of the league and game type not the prize.
Also donation button still being weird, could you just pm me your paypal account email and I'll send it that way.

Yeah, I might remake the button tonight. Before you donate though, i'd just like to point out that any money donated now is going straight to the prize pool! Though we will probably try to make the money pool last for this season and the next. My Paypal account is WorpeX@hotmail.com. Thanks. :)

not to downplay anything here but when i ran GGL Season 1 i gave a prize of 200$ and then an additional 100$ for a solo tourney i held mid season.
then again my prize money was given to me by SteelSeries.
on another note, can i donate and get auto-accepted to next season?
-
I gave 50$ to Snamuh when he won ;)
Then I stopped being a nerd
-
Mage just donated $25.51 and get his green colors. :D Thanks mage!

You can probably get majin's spot this round, talk to the admins about it..
And I remember a league called WPL way back that was run by a sexy admin who got it a prize pool of 1k euros ad steel series gear in just one season. :)

RSM donating $15! Welcome to the Champions!
-
Another anonymous donation, this time for $60! Thank you very much!!
-
omg i'm not anonymous
-
oh! ok! not so anonymous donation by Salmarnir! Thanks man!
-
Gnom adds another $5! Thanks!!
Going to close the donations for now, I think we have more than enough prize money for this and the next season! Maybe even enough for S15 too. O_O
-
Lightweight donated $10. Hopefully thats the last! Thanks LW!!!
We're actually down in money now though cause I payed for the domain renewal using the paypal account ($14). I was too lazy to type in my credit card info. haha. But, we're still at a cool $136 for prize money!
