You don't need to say anything, dude.
Besides, like Father O'Hanahan told me at my first confession, "Just take it." |

I don't want to sound like a noob to the guild again or anything...but...I...I...don't know what to say  |

| There are at least 3 ppl who want to do this, you, me and Rook. I'll try to get some website setup, that way if we get more money for the project than we need, it will split the costs evenly with all backers and refund you a portion of the money back. |

| I agree, if you really have to consider it an interest free loan from us. I'll setup an account that allows for anonymous contributions to various "causes". We can agree on two off the bat; website/TS3 hosting and Liger's copy of Guild Wars 2. |

I wasn't, but I really don't feel like being in an empty guild on RIFT, so I'm having my Credit Card I'm paying off take a couple months longer so I can purchase it in early September. (I'm disabled and have a limited Income, will take me over a year to pay off my debt to my Card, and still pay rent at the same time, at this rate, according to my credit calculator.) But that's my choice. |
As Rook would say - Fuck that. Let us help you out.

| That's why I'd rather help a guildie buy the game and be able to play with the rest of us, Liggy, without people being worried about the rest of life getting in someone's way. |

| No idea, Red. I thought about this as soon as I realized some people where going to Pax this month and that the game launches in a few weeks. |

I don't like calling it a charity, sorry about that. It's just a way for everyone who wants to try out GW2 (which I'm looking forward too simply because it's almost like a homecoming for those of us that are playing different games...Rift, ToR and LotRO) and not be left behind because funds might be tight for whatever reason.
Calling it charity might make some people hesitant to use it, consider it a loan that someone can pay back when they have the chance. |

Very true, the key thing is not to make it too much of a charity account or have someone whom has a PayPal and dosent use or dosen't have a PayPal yet to manage it. I think personal accounts have less money loss. |

You could use PayPal for charity, but PayPal has a reputation for being very difficult to deal with. They not only take 3% of your money off the bat, they also take some cash out for every deposit. In addition, many charities have reported PayPal accusing them of being a front and then freezing their accounts. The short of it is I'd much rather use a different company to handle donations.
I actually just bought a Square reader and account to test with my company. It may work out, I'll let you guys know. I also want to be sensitive on the topic of money; no one should feel obligated to give money (or feel bad they don't want to or cannot). |

If you want you can request this be brought up at our Aug 8th Guild Meeting. |
Should probably have a TA Pay Pal account for these things. |
