Great news! But now it will be very tough to win the race for the highest donation. ;)

    *Does some maths*

     

    So that's $250 between the two of them approximately?  $125 assuming an equal split.  Holy hell! :geek:

     

    EDIT: Maths fail, for some reason I was calculating it as if the total was $1000 we were aiming for, I don't know why...

    One donated 900$ and the other 350$ if I had it right (thanks again!). 

     

    We reached 25% (roughly 1250) before that. Then it jumped to 50% (2500). At the same time the "highest pledge" rose from 333$ to 900$. 1250 - 900 = 350. That's how I calculated it.

    The person who already had donated $333 increased their pledge by the same amount. Thus they have donated the magic amount of $666

    You sure that certain anonymous donator in question is not a ginger fellow who likes to go by Lucy indoors?

    That ultimate digital tier and the DLC season pass sure got me running short...

     

    Am still sending really small amounts of golden ducs in disorderly time intervals.

     

    Trivia: Polish currency is called "Złoty", it literally means "Golden".

    It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...

    Our currency is called "Euro", it basically means "cling together, swing together". ;)

     

    I will also send another batch soon...

    I've been a busy buccaneer, but I've finally come around to donate a powder-keg-worthy amount to this wonderful cause.

    Arrgh! :)

    Ours is pounds, and means pounds.  Though the way things are going I doubt it'll be worth a pound of anything soon.

    If we make the coins really big, a pound will always be worth a pound of pounds  :biggrin:

    It was our very generous anonymous donator who only donates in batches of $333 :)

     

    That was his or her 3rd donation of that kind, thank you very much!
