Yeah, I already pledged to the Kickstarter proper. I'd be happy to throw a bit towards a GAF inn, just for the hell of it.
Also, I'm fine with what I'm getting at the $35. I'd have no problem simply donating a bit to this GAF inn without adding my name to any kind of raffle or drawing.
I assume most people do. I was just talking about the feasibility/costs/insurance for mail packages of sending physical goods out all over the world, which could become a pain in the ass for Shagg to organize.
But its definitely the right sentiment to donate for this cause. People donate towards the Inn, the rest happens when it happens.

Add an extra $1,000 and get them to use the music from the Smoldering Corpse Bar.
I agree. Keep this thread and all donations about the tavern thing, don't even think about the "extras" (make them a gift for the one organizing all the stuff) and you'll have a more successful approach. Heck, make it so that there is a cap so after the goal is reached all further donations are rejected.
My two cents.

Why not contact Obsidian directly with this idea. We would like to pool our money together to get a town named after our community. If we can raise the 5k, we can give them the money directly, and maybe you can have a 20$ min buy in to it(Or at least 20$ to get a copy). Where they could offer Steam keys for those who put in. Anything donated that succeeds the 5K is just extra to them, with nothing else required. Get rid of the physical crap from the package, etc.
Or something like that. Basically bake them offer! Just a single NeoGaf Community Donation towards the title, rather than trying to go through Kickstart.

I'm definitely down to contribute $50 when the time comes.

From what people are suggesting, donations and raffles should stop at $5,000 mark. Anything over $5,000 will be fully refunded to avoid overflow and backlash.
It'll help in keeping the chances of getting an autographed copy and other prizes at 1:5000 per dollar pledged.
You might want to take a bit more money in case you plan on handing out the physical items (and not only game copies). Shipping cost for a package plus insurance cost might cost you more than 60$ to another country.
Otherwise you'd be either stuck on paying the shipping yourself or ask the winner of the item for shipping. I wouldnt be able to pay 50$ in shipping for a cloth map in case I won it for example. And then you'd have a huge mess on your hands about how to readjust winnings and what to give to the winner of the map now.
I know I sound like a cassette recorder, but thats why I said we should all decide on making the other goods to give away ONLY the digital game copies (if possible). Thats a gift everyone can easily accept/gift away and we/Shagg dont/doesnt have the shipping mess on our hands.
I can't give too much to this after putting in for the game and other things but this idea is cool enough that I'll at least give a few bucks;
I assume it won't be a problem to pitch in some money now and if I happen to have some extra next week or something(assuming that this isn't met yet) to add in then?
Also, thanks to Shagg for putting this together and already reserving the slot.

I won't feel comfortable keeping the physical items but if required, I'll keep $100 on the side for shipping all the items. Always open for that!
Or get people to put in for what items they want -- I would pass on everything except the hardback for example.
Everyone pays their own shipping. If they don't pay (or don't want to pay) the item gets re-raffled.

By the way! When donating, mention your GAF ID for contact purposes, in case you win!
Thanks for those that already have! <3 <3

I know you're a good guy
But that whole scenario was the reason why I suggested contacting Obsidian about leaving out the physical goods in the first place, only giving you digital items.Organizing that stuff can get rather annoying and expensive and I didnt think we should burden you with that.
If the other Gaffers disagree with that though, that is fine, too.
Edit: Maybe you could just contact them in the coming days, and IF they would allow that we could make a poll for it to decide.

This pretty much has to be two-handed "Banhammer".
Oh GOD! :lol

I understand and agree with your idea. I will wait for this to pick up more Steam so people can finalize. We have a lot of time for that!

LOL! I'll leave all that to you guys. For now, it's decided that donations should end at $5,000 (or $5,100 if shipment is included).

Yes, you guys will see it! It's on OP now!
That ain't live!
Also, should I PM you my paypal email adress since I didn't include it in my payment?
That's automatically added to the paypal message that Shagg received noticing the transaction, I think.

It's as live as it can get! Sure! PM me your email address, and the amount you gave. I do receive your email address notification though!

If only Notch was a GAFfer... Someone should tweet him!
If he was a gaffer, I'll just remove the lottery system as he'll win it all lol.
If he was, he'd make his own tavern.

That too!
P.S. All credit goes to volturnus for the fantastic idea, and Vulcano's assistant for the awesome vision if it happens that pushed me into making this.

I'm in.
I suppose someone will compile a list of names for the inn, npc, and item. Then from there, we will vote on the best option?
Also Khar was pretty spot on about a name that would not be too jarring with the spirit of the setting, but still have that hook to some gaf meta reference.

Those names/ideas cant be too much out of whack. "Hype Train'er" would be too weird. Believer would probably be fine though.

Thanks, but you're the guy with the guts and the hard work
Also I just sent $50.
I wish I could give more right now, but I really want the physical bonuses as well. I'll try to put a bit more in as we get closer to the end.
