VI Champions For Charity

[Tomisama]

Would you be interested in participating in a global singles competition, with an entrance fee of $10 per player, where all of the proceeds were donated to the charity-of-choice of the winner?

Shouldnt there be a.
I give £5 a month to Rspcc.
£5 a month to Bernados.
£5 a month to cancer reseatch
and £5 a month to oxfam.

So I think they get enough already Option?

[AggonyDuck]

I have nothing against giving money away for charity generally, but I'm afraid I wouldn't actually want to pay for participating in a online tournament. Tomi btw I feel that an entrance fee might be counterproductive for what we're actually trying to accomplish.

You are looking at a ten dollars.

I’m looking at thousands possible with matching funds.

Donated to a disaster relief organization (for example), by a game community.

News worthy?

You want to bring attention to the game and our community?

You want to bring back veterans and encourage new players?

You want the owners and developers to know we are here?

This is a way, maybe the only way.

Trust me, everything else has been done already.

For a measly ten bucks each, you get all of the above, plus the largest and most challenging competition ever devised for Total War gamming.

The total experience will be priceless…

how much is $10 in £...

[Tomisama]

10 US Dollars is a little over 5 and a half Pounds, or 16 Marks, or 54 Franks, or 18 Gilders, or 15k Lire, or a little over 8 Euros.

I believe that’s close anyway

[KrooK]

10$ = 40 pln quite much, especially I'm weak in 1 vs 1 and there is no option I might win. Anyway i think this tourney would be good option, but what rules Tomi and which game. Some of us love shogun, some medieval, some rome. Choosing only one champion would be extremely hard.

If you want organise it - you must provide good "carrot". Something more than just a announcement and nice awatar.

Just testing the water to see where people stand on the idea in general.

There was a small group of concerned citizens who were working behind the scenes on ideas to help re-grow the Total War community.

One idea expressed was to have a cash prize contest with money donated by our group ($100) or by an entry fee ($1,000).

Then the images of super players playing just for the pot, and the whole thing turning into something similar to a gambling event, kind of spoiled things.

The competition for charity had a much more honourable ring to it, so posted to see how others felt about it.

The response was fairly good I believe, but sadly our community is really too small at the moment to raise a reasonably significant sum. So this will have to go on the back burner for a while.

Jumping into the future (hopefully not too far away).

One of these days, teams will be dueling it out on the battlefield while others watch real-time server dispersed feeds of the match in progress (the same as being sent to the players by the host). Then Total War gamming will take it’s true place as not only the best multiplayer game on the planet, but also as a spectacular spectator sport.

Maybe then having folks make pelages to donate for entry onto the Total War gaming world stage, will be as common place as buying a movie ticket

I think I know what would be real prize but CA's help is necessary.
Imagine this prize - winners nick and his clan tag into new totalwar game.
For example as "old centurion" into tutorial, or as a banner appearing during logging on.
CA's help is absolutely necessary and I doubt it will pass. But it would be most honorable thing for TW player.

Anyway I reconsidered and I think I would join :) Don't care about prizes or honor. Just for fun.
