Many people here have money laying around, and want to donate, but dont have an online account, meaning there is no way for them to send the money in.

Well, I have decided to start placing the donations for people (NOT FOR FREE--DONT EMAIL ME ASKING FOR ME TO PAY FOR YOU!!!!! READ THIS FIRST!!! ). Heres how it works: You mail me the money, and i place the donation over paypal. While this is a little less secure than Paypal, I can assure you that this is completely on the level. I am about to recieve my first donation, and make that person a VIP. I make NO money off of this--it all goes to the game. If you wish we can arrange this with the help of an admin, so that you know i wont keep the money.

I WILL WARN YOU: IF THE MONEY GETS MAILED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE MONEY TO ME. All I am in charge of is actually making the donation.

If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact me via AIM (viper2o40) or MSN messenger (viper2040_@hotmail.com).

here is my address where the money should be sent (copy this EXACTLY):

John Collins
Campus Center #1231
16800 Point Lookout Road
St. Mary's City, MD 20686-3000

GUIDELINES:
Please, tell me before sending the money so that I can have an idea of when to expect the money. Also, before sending it, double check the address with me (not with this topic, but with ME).

INCLUDE A NOTE WITH THE MONEY EXPLAINING WHO YOU ARE, AND THE FOLLOWING 3 THINGS:
FORUM NAME
CHAT NAME
EMAIL ADDRESS

these will be your VIP names, and address. And, CASH ONLY PLEASE!!!! I cannot cash checks quickly, so if you do send me a check, it woud take MUCH longer to make you a VIP. And for security, wrap the note around the money so that people cannot tell theres money inside the envelope.
Tips from LordCyris:
"...ok viper my mom used to send me cash in the mail from $50 to $100 at a time
heres the trick, u know the black ink paper they use to make carbon copies...
take the money fold white paper around it, then fold the carbon paper over the white paper and boom u got cash in the mail... hehe hell if u want send viper a birthday card with cash inside.... the card is cardboard u cant see thru even if u put it up too the light...."

Finally, I would STRONGLY reccomend that you donate at least $10, as there has been talk of the VIP cost being raised to $10. But i will make the donation no matter how much you send (anything under $5 will always be nothing more than a donation).
