LinkX fuck off and leave MedievalDragon alone. If you can't donate one freaking dollar get out of this thread. You are saying like anyone is asking $5000. The thing is that if you go yourself, you need a lot of money, but if a lot of people want a person to go, they each only need to donate $1. It's called basketing... >_<
Nope. I don't have a credit card. But these guys are saying like they are being asked for MedievalDragon's whole trip. And it's just a dollar.
I am not talking like that. I am talking about lines like this: "Donations are given by free will and by good will." That to me feels like a guilt trip. And honestly I don't have to give anything to some random guy over the internet to know in my heart that I am a good person.
If he was a little bit nicer and acted with less of a "Holier-then-thou" attitude then I would be more prone to give.

What you call guilt trip is usually known as "truth". Donations are really given by free will. A donation isn't a donation if someone forces you to. Donations are given by good will. Because it is born from within to "care".
Obviously I am in the minority on this opinion so I will concede. However I will not be donating as I believe it is a waste of money. However, I wish you the best of luck in getting a ticket.
Generally speaking Higher ups approach you to join, while making MD a staff member is not entirely out of the question, as he certainly knows what he is doing on that front, we are trying to have a more active staff team. MD posts infrequently, I don't even know if he lurks here or not. But based on his skill and knowledge he's probably better suited to it than even I am. And I am whole heartdly in favour of his joining the team here.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I did not start this thread for a bunch of people that can't donate to reply to it and say they can't. What did your parents teach you? If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all. We understand if you can't, but don't give a negative excuse. Please keep it to yourself.
Personally, I would prefer MD to bring us some great information from the WWi, and not some game site that I don't go to.
Please - if you can't donate, that is okay - just don't reply with an excuse, that is filling the thread with useless posts. Thank you
There is also a Catapult in one ofthe Warcraft II act cinematics.
This cinematic is parodied in Warcraft III during the credits.
but that's a little off topic don't you think.
MD I hope you score some good info, and possibly some free stuff too. I'd rather see the info here first than on some random site I do not frequent,

Thanks, AcidReign. Elfen I feel you. It is hard to find some interviews on some sites when you don't know they exist or when they got posted. I help must of the times with the fans' burden by doing myself the dirty work searching online and posting links where to go read things. But even I miss some of these interviews. I spend hours browsing the net for news daily.
Going to WWI and getting the info first hand from the devs themselves is good. I personally don't get Blizzard products news from third-party. I don't wait. I plant myself in front of the Blizzard licensed product companies and get the info from them. Stalk the book writers every 2-3 months.
About WWI
1. I would be posting on this website's news page if Diablo gets announced.
2. I will be talking with the developers face to face in a private fansites meeting (Apologies to the Men in Black if I shouldn't be talking about that).
3. I will be with Karune and Nethaera who wish to meet me in person. Meaning I will get info from them.
4. I requested a press badge (access to the internet right on the spot to update diablo3.com front news.)
5. As a fansite, I will be given a media kit with high quality images and Microsoft Word (.doc) pages with info. (Last year's BlizzCon, I sent Draiken and he got this press media kit. Draiken also got a press badge I requested for him.)
As weeks go by, if I am really able to get enough donations to go, I can start making plans with those from this community, who are going, to meet up and upload everyone's images or info to update the news (working together). It will require some synchronization.
It seems like the only one in this entire thread who still has his thinking cap on is Explorer, unless I've missed someone else saying the same.
The same would be of course, whats the point?
Don't get me wrong, I do not question the status of Medievaldragon amongst the management of Blizzard Entertainment, nor do I fault his talent to acquire inside information that would otherwise be inaccessible to anyone else.
But I do seriously doubt his ability to relay that information back to the community.
Lets face the facts, he did acknowledge on multiple occasions that he knows more than he can reveal, and it would take a huge amount of wishful thinking to suggest that if we do send him as an inside man, then something would be different.
If Diablo III will be announced then it will be announced, we didn't need an inside man to tell us when StarCraft II was shown, all it took was someone with cellphone camera and about 6 minutes later the announcement was already on You Tube.
And though that one man was all that it took, it was also only what it took, there was, if I am not mistaken a BlizzCon that preceded the last World Wide Invitational and as we now know, no amount of inside people had mounted up into revealing any information about the future announcement of StarCraft II, at least not to any information that we were aware of.

Wow. I...agree...with equinox.
As MD has pointed out several times, in the form of a response to someone, he did not create this thread, nor did he ask someone to do it for him. I for one would gladly donate if i had access to a credit card.
Link you fucktard, go eat a dick and take a long hard look at yourself. If you cant donate, or dont want to donate, fine. But you just had to go one step more and start flaming MD. Hes done nothing wrong. He actually contributes something to this forum. Unlike you. Dumbfuck.
MD, no matter if you can raise the money or not to go, keep up the good work and don't let any of the assholes on this website bring you down. They are very feeble minded, and I guess cannot see how this thread is in now way your doing, and that it is only a kind favor to donate. I will donate, if at all possible, since I do not own a credit card.
Also I never did see an estimate of the total cost, that would be useful information, and if you could say anything more on those SC2 beta's that would be awesome.

Dream as if you'll live forever, and live as if you'll die today. "James Dean"
Hmm... confuses me. I plan to go to college, and I don't know why you're saying that if you think I'm very unknowledgeable in lots of things or my personality. But yes, I know, I'm quite stupid in school subjects, smarter in others. If you're talking about my personality and how I act, that's not a very good burn. Doesn't make sense
Anyways,
I'm with LinkX and others too. I would rather donate for more important things, rather go myself (though I couldn't cause of my age), I don't see a point. And, yes, Medieval, I understand you had no intentions of asking for donations here blah blah etc.

I have to agree with equinox, if you can't or won't donate, you don't HAVE to, that is why it is called a DONATION!!!
Quote from "LinkX" »
Also, don't be pulling the "Those that have good will" bullshit, because that is what it is. Bullshit. If I have the money I sure as hell ain't sending you, I'm going myself. And no, that doesn't make me a bad person.
F**K sake, think of the ads on TV about trying to get you to make a donation to save some kid in africa(not my fault they are poor). A Donation is just that a Donation, charity, a GIFT, if you don't wish to give, thats fine, its not f**king Christmas...
You also don't have to go on about stupid gult trips, ffs MD didn't even make this thread, you guys must to 10 f**king years old to go on about that sh*t. Also not DONATING does not make you a good or bad person, because after all its your money your donating. What MD said about goodwill is just that a DONATION is from GOODWILL!
To wrap it all up, if you can't or won't or don't want to donate for any f**king reason, fine! Just don't post about it and start flaming the guy for a thread he didn't make. Also Link just stfu, stop posting bs in a thread where it isn't needed.
If I had a CC I would donate, I mean come on, if your playing WoW thats 50 cents a day... surely u could donate 1 stupid dollar...
Gl MD, I hope ya get to go( I only wish this WWI happened when I was in paris, but that was 2 yrs ago lol)
