@FMErwinRommel It looks like they don’t have guest check out any more. Are you able to create a PayPal account?

[djensen]

Most of you did not provide your username when contributing. This is is going to delay your badge by an unknown amount of time.

[FMErwinRommel]

@djensen What is the LIVID link? Is that an alternative payment option?

[djensen]

@FMErwinRommel Livid Labs in the name of my business that this website is a part of.

Click, “send” then login to PayPal or Sign Up for PayPal. Then you well see the send payment page and a note field where you can enter your forum username.

@djensen thanks

[djensen]

@FMErwinRommel If it doesn’t work, I can send you an invoice and you don’t need a PayPal account to pay it (supposedly).

[djensen]

BTW, if you see your name on the list but are missing your badge, you should be able to make it visible on your own. What this situation means is that I forgot the final step.

Go to your profile and you’ll see your groups. Notice how 2024 isn’t highlighted in the example? Before you highlight it, select it and use the arrows to re-order it to the top. Then select all the groups and save the changes.

Gold paid.

Thanks once again, Dave - we’re with you all the way.

Done!!!

Thanks Dave! In to win again for 2024!

I’m thinking of adding 2 new tiers:

• Service Patron or War Patron, black on white, can not be purchased, only awarded by a Distinguished Patron.
  • Allows more than the new proposed 4 game limit for League
  • Can upgrade for a 20% discount, once per account lifetime
• Distinguished Patron (red background, like me, or blue?) $120
  • Can award 4 Service Patron badges

Other notes:

• All patrons do no have a 4 game limit for League.
• If you win all of your free 4 games, you either “win” a Service Patron badge or you just don’t have the limit.

@djensen In for gold for my first year. Hopefully we can get those numbers back up.

@djensen

Ooh, nice ideas!

@djensen hi . I just paid for my Gold badge, but forgot (couldn’t see how) to put it was me. Sorry!

To increase the IPC Income for the Axis & Allies. org Support Drive, we suggest the following system:

• Bronze Patron Badge: $15 USD

• Bronze Patron 2nd Class Badge: $20 USD

• Bronze Patron 1st Class Badge: $25 USD

• Silver Patron Badge: $30 USD

• Silver Patron 2nd Class Badge: $40 USD

• Silver Patron 1st Class Badge: $50 USD

• Gold Patron Badge: $80 USD

• Gold Patron With Oak Leaves: 100 USD

• Gold Patron Badge With Oak Leaves and Swords: $120 USD

• Gold Patron Badge With Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds: $140 USD

The above graduation could be named differently - this is just an example. The outcome should be the same.

Each Patron Badge should be illustrated as now at each members profile.

Furthermore, each Patron Badge should be produced in metal and shipped to the members.
The costs for the metal badge & shipping are paid by the member.

@The-Captain

Good idea!

[Panther]

@The-Captain

Interesting idea to give sort of military ranks.

However that would be certainly good to encourage people already donating to donate even more.

IMHO the problem rather is, that far too few people donate to the site.

So how can we encourage more people to at least donate whatever amount of money?

[Witt]

I think more people giving what they can , is a better way forward, rather than a select few doubling what they contribute. But I suppose both would work.
I have been on this site a long time and have been very happy to pay £50 a year. I don’t think I would like to give much more than that, however .

[The Captain]

@Panther

Why don’t we ask everyone who is using this site, what it takes to make them donate ?
