Give me my new gold banner DJ

[Witt]

Could I, please, have mine too.

[djensen]

Sorry about the delay. Everything should be up to date now.

[Witt]

Perfect, as Always. Thank you.

Sooo….
I donated $10 and received my prized 2017 Bronze Badge (thank you very much), and would like to know if it would be acceptable to followup with a $25 donation and receive a Silver Badge and proudly display both badges for 2017? :-D

Not that I’m looking to “buy badges” or anything as nefarious as that, not in the least.
I am wholly motivated by an honest and pure desire to provide an acceptable level of support, within my budget, for the website and organization.  :evil:

This train of thought started from a desire to ask about upgrading from my (what some might characterize as a humble/lackluster) initial donation, and then I thought…hmmmm… what if?..

just askin’ all in good fun, :-D

It turns out we’re in a little worse shape than I thought. I guess adding one at a time to the total led me to an error of about $200.

We’re, as of writing, $425.50 below last year. We also lost some sponsor revenue but gained a fraction of that back with the War Room sponsorship. We had no been getting the t-shirt pay outs but that was fixed and helped.

At this point I would be happy to match last year’s $2410. We had 37 people at $10 last year. A few Gold and Silver would be nice but 40 more Bronze would get us there for sure.

well I’m doing 10 because I want all three. I’ll throw a silver in too, as was suggested by someone earlier to make it a bigger donation.

Have to wait until I can pay someone to do it. Won’t be too long.

How much do you need ? Pretty sure the members can cover it.

[djensen]

The goal is to match last year. Go ahead and get a bronze. Encouraging others to get badges is worth much more than buying multiple badges. Thank you for your encouragement!

The goal is to hit the same number as last year.

I just did 25 bucks… I hope it helps!

Time for 2018 drive yet?  While I can pretend it’s a Christmas present to myself? :P

Me too… I supported a week ago, need my 2017 Gold badge.

Hey everybody. Just got back from a nearly 3 week vacation. I was hoping to have time to keep up with badges while I was away but we were constantly on the move. I should get everybody caught up tonight.

Also, I apologize for not posting here before I left.

[Witt]

You have been very naughty (Fry) . Very naughty indeed!

Hope you had a great time away.

I hope you had a good vacation. I did just what I said I would, and threw in for Gold Sponsor at $60. I did it by paying $50 for Gold and another $10 for Bronze.

If you see that and wonder what I meant, I meant to pay you $60 for Gold, as I promised I would in another thread on the site.

Midnight_Reaper I appreciate the sentiment but I’d prefer that everybody just stick to single badges. I’m going to go ahead and refund the extra $10.

As you wish. I just wanted to put my money where my mouth was. No harm, no fowl.

Hell, I’ll pay all $50 for your 2018 patron badge, in exchange for your playing one game with my House Rules for A&A Classic and a public post here on A&A.org giving your thoughts on those rules after that play. You can say whatever you want about them - just the fact of you talking about them would make my year.

You heard it here first…

-Midnight_Reaper

[djensen]

I’m actually not that great at A&A Classic anymore. 1942 SE is currently my game but I might try competing in Anniversary Edition at GenCon since it’s more easily available again.
