LoadingReadyRun's Desert Bus for Hope Begins Tonight

[purifico]

I'll be honest - I hate kids. I don't care whether they are sick or not, I just hate those whiny little brats. But as it is a LRR project and as it in the end helps gaming community:
a) stop being a pariah and
b) be taken seriously

So I helped out and donated.

Games are an important part of my life, so if this hobby, a life style of mine helps bring happiness to someone else (be it a grownup or a child) then it's a money well-spent.

Ive been watching this peetty much all day. Its just on in the background while i work and eat etc.

Love the morgan Vs Marmite challenge!

That Dr. Who scarf auction was insanely fun to watch.

Holding onto my monies until a later auction. If I don't win, I'll throw up a challenge. Either way: money for childrens!

 

[retyopy]

Gahhhhh, I would happily donate and/or bid but my bank account is emptier than I would like and I have no form of income for roughly two or three weeks. Next year for sure! Still gonna watch it though, LRR is one of the only groups that can regularly amuse me.

Hye, if everyone is bidding enough, maybe part of that form of income in roughly 2-3 week will magically appear before you, and they can scream and yell that they still have to play.

Ok, I haven't been following this at all, why is Kroze there again?

Whether you hate the kids or not they're dying kids, have some human decency.

Kroze is one of the main moderators for their chat and has been since desert bus 2. As for why he is there, I dunno, he felt that it would be fun to be there in person throughout desert bus. He was there last year as well.

I now officially love desert bus. not because its awesome, not because its days on end of entertainment, not even because Tim Schafer my question when he called in. BUT; because just under 48 hours in, one of the random facts was the definition of the first half of my eternal user name.

i would have thanked everyone for that in chat but whenever i sign into that thing it crashes my internet hard

Anyone know how to bid on the silent auctions?

Anyone know how to bid on the silent auctions?

You need a donor account. Then, in the donor page, go to Auctions -> Silent Auctions. After that, plonk your monies where they fall.

Late night auctions are best auctions.

Thanks. Also, how do you make Bidbot give you a voice? Not planning to auction[sub]I live in NZ so my money is less significant , still donating though[/sub]but just curious.

Once you're registered as a donor, you need to register on the chat. Use the same email, and type "/msg nickserv [password] ". Check your email for the code. Put the code in the chat. It should be "/msg nickserv confirm [code]". Finally, whenever you log into the chat, you need "/msg nickserv identify [password]".

So, to recap: [quote]/msg nickserv qwerty1234 [email protected]

/msg nickserv confirm aivrkd495furs

/msg nickserv identify qwerty1234[/quote]Obviously, these are examples. Use your own applicable details. The emails MUST be the same, or the bot won't recognize you. If you use an alternate email for PayPal, you add that to the donor screen. Depending on how active it is, BidBot could take a while to +voice you. It took about 10 minutes to find me one time, as it was gearing up for an auction.

EDIT: Most importantly, use the radio buttons to tag donations for Team Kroze.

Been watching since yester yester.

There's lulls, but for some odd reason I can't seem to close it down. It's affecting me life :<

 

[Mickus]

Do anyone know (because I can't find the info) if an automaticly renewed pub club membership during Desert Bus still count towards the "donate $10 of every pub club subscription to Desert Bus"?

 

[Nouw]

Snip

Once again, thanks! I'll just do "/msg nickserv identify " for him to voice me right?

That's the one!

EDIT: Also, to anyone that missed it, AWESOME rendition of Iron Maiden's "Fear Of The Dark". Or should that be LRRon Maiden's "Fear Of The Bus"? For apparently not knowing it too well, it was a really great job. Best $50 ever.
