Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    There should probably be some kind of banner at the top maybe?

    Also, DU, do we really have to indicate this is towards the statue when donating? Can't just all donations in the next 34 days go towards it? Seems more efficient that way.

    Just put in $50.
    Edit: that is assuming you do as Bee-chan suggests, or my donation will just go to the general codex beer fund I guess.

    Yeah, I just donated $50, but in the anonymous donation, didn't even had where to write it was for Wasteland 2...

    On the page with the "Submit donation" (or whatever) button from PayPal, there is a small "+" sign that, if you click it, expands into a text entry box where you can type a note to the donation recipient.

    Codexia: an abandoned cyclopean village full of crazy denizens drifting amongst the ruins, uttering insane sentences.
    Skyway: "Banal...Shit...Boring...Everywhere!"
    Melcar: "Cheap whores...Come on, it's payday...Oy my head."
    Prosper: "Rain! It needs glorious rain and swamps!"
    Dicksmoker: "Shut up everyone! I once more hear the tolling of a great bell! It's calling me!"
    Glyphwright: "Shells in the night! Shells in the night!"
    (...)
    A lot of unnamed NPCs: "Potato!" "Somebody must have hidden potato."

    I assume this is going to be the case for many donations. Here's hoping DU goes with what I proposed. :)

    EDIT. DarkUnderlord, please make it so that all donations in the next month will go towards the statue! Like, pretty please!!

    Hmm, guess I did it all wrong then, I went with "purchase account upgrade" since I thought that was the only way to make a non anonymous donation. Oh well, I've been meaning to become a patron anyway. Donated another $50 explicitly towards the statue now :)

    Nice - I'll be throwing some towards the Codex Statue, although it will have to wait until next week so I can throw a bunch in at once.

    The $5000 goal sounds a bit unrealistic, but hitting $1000 to get an RPGCODEX location would be cool already.

    Was hard to explain all the trool statue thing on a small banner, if anyone has any other idea for text...

    Would be cool, but I wouldn't want stupid lines from retarded posters...Just a nod to the Codex and it's small contribution to keeping the fight alive, a vindication that something good can grow in the wasteland of modern gaming again.

    There's your metaphor...

    Until DU clears this up, I suggest those of you who forgot to indicate their donation was towards the statue do what is usually done in this case:

    PM TALUNTAIN with your last donation information (PayPal email, date of donation and donation sum) and ask him to ADD THAT TO THE STATUE FUND!!

    UPDATE: Hooray! DU has spoken:

    "To make it easier, all donations this month will be taken for the project unless stated otherwise in the donation"

    !!!

    Donate away!!

    Threw $10 in for the statue. Not sure about how much I might invest overall.

    It is a mystery.

    This is the place that raised $500 for anime avatars despite people donating against them. $5000 is very doable.
