How Much Would You Pay Buy The FS2 License
This isn't a thread for insults or the like.

I'm asking you in all seriousness how much you'd be willing to donate via pay pal or some other similar agency so that we could buy the licence as a community. The money will be used to buy the FS3 (and maybe even FS1 & 2) licenses. What we'd do with those is the subject for another topic like this one

DO NOT post silly answers. I want the amount you would really put your hand in your pocket for.

only post ONCE.  The number of posts will be counted against the number of votes to make sure there is no irregularities.

I'm working dollars (roughly equivalent to the Euro about 1.5 dollars to a pound).

This thread is just to get an idea of what sort of level of cash we could raise. We'll be round with the collection tin later if it looks like it might be worth it. Obviously some people will pledge support but not give it while other people will join late and give a donation.

BTW when one of you admins post can you tell us if the possibility exists of giving anyone who does donate a special avatar to recognise their contribution?

If it's real, $30. I have no income, realistically, so that's a lot for me. :p

First I'd see who's trying to buy the rights.  Then I'd want to see how is being offered.

I'd be willing to donate 100+ hundred dollars.

EDIT: I could go up to two or three hundred dollars if the rest of the community was truly serious about this.

No, it's all one liscence. Please keep posts to only what you're willing to donate.

Incidentally.  Can't we simply tie up the Freespace3 license instead?

Remember Descent: Freespace ?

It was called that and not Freespace because another company has already taken that (some ram compression program or something).

Once again, if you make a post, please put what you're going to donate at least somewhere. I'm going to start a comments thread for this.

And I don't believe we can get a seperate liscence.

Please post all further non-monetary replies in the new thread I am creating.

Ahem.

As currently unemployed, fifty to a hundred is about it. 'Course, unlike some here I'd probably actually do it, if nothing else just to tweak Smart and encourage you monkeys to get on with the new SCP releases. You won't get enough, naturally, but it's still worth the shot.

About 100$, since I don't have too much money.

I donated $150 (in supplies that I went and got myself) to Iraqi school childeren the other day just for the hell of it, and becase it's something I beleive in, that was a spurr of the moment thing, as of now I'm going into "I want something very expinsive" mode, and not spending a dime, if this shows any sign of working, I'll skip next semester of school in order to get the nesisary funds.
oh, and $3,500 at least.
