The Donor Thank-You Thread!
Thank you so much for over 400 donations!!!
If you don't want your name or amount here, message me right away and I'll obfuscate it.
Since there were so many donations, I had to put it in a Google Document:
Click here for Donor List
I am honestly blown away by the amount of support I have gotten. I don't know of any other StarCraft 2 mod that can claim to have such a wonderful core community. Mafia has earned, from donations alone, more than most other big StarCraft 2 maps combined. I am truly blessed to have such an honor. No matter what you say about the noobs and trolls plaguing the public games of Mafia, you guys are still special to me.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I should donate exactly $52.47 :) When I get money, I promise I'll donate.
I honestly did not expect that you were getting nearly 1k for your effort. Great work DR. The game is awesome and we will continue to support it.
Great work community!!!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
You are going to have to add the money that paypal steals :P unless someone else wants to do that. Also you are very welcome for the support I gave you DR and so far I love the perks :) Especially the colored names even though if I play a public game I usually die night one by the jealous asshole serial killer :(
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Yup, the perks are worth it. Glad we can be of help to you and the game~
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I watched an Atlanta Braves games against Baltimore on Saturday or so.
One of the shots showed someone wearing a Fred Flintstone outfit.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
No thanks necessary, a small monetary donation is nothing in comparison to the hours of gameplay you've offered me. I've played Mafia more than SC2.
And I know I thanked you before, but I'll do it again. Please continue doing what you do.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Thank YOU, DR, for all your hard work on this wonderful game!! ;D
I love the "PayPal taken" stat as well; that was a funny factoid.
(And also, OMG, Plato, you stole the #1 spot. How much do I have to donate to beat Plato? >:( If that's too personal of a question, how about: "How much to qualify for Benefactor?" LOL.)
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Your wallet doesn't want you to try to challenge Plato's spot.
Patron: Half of your original donation.
Benefactor: Double your original donation.
The denominations are pretty brutal, I'd admit.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Edited with the exact amount PayPal has taken. That took a bit of calculation and archive-digging, as rates differ for international donations. Also added an interesting factoid.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Rev: Cleared that up for you.

Fun Fact: Without Plato's donation, the global average is $10.74 and the international average is $8.53!
So Plato spend about 330 US$ ? O.o this is like how many times the price of SC2?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
JSYK Mille updated Mafia to the latest version today.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Wow cool thx DR, did he gave any explanation for the delay?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Playing right now and enjoying the music. ^_^
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
What, really?! Must go try it out! -gets pulled back by chain-, oh yeah i'm at work, dangit.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Don't be too overambitious tho, DR forgot to fix the bug where pubs are incredibly stupid. :/
:p
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
The noob pubs bug eh, thats a brutal one. Would require hours of coding, kidnapping and brainwashing to fix.
I just donated more, as thanks for new version. Felt like my initial donation was way too low, lol.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Change my RL-Name into my nick so that my E-penis grow more :D
Revedit: It already was.
Rumpeledit: yeah, I just realized that was already wondering why I was that far up :D ok, now make my name yellow :D
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Make security update and I will bump myself up to next donor level.

Let's see...do a little algebra, cross multiply, and.. EEK, $334!!
Okay, time to get out my piggy bank to save up to beat his donation and reclaim the #1 spot!
FWIW, my original donation was about 1 time the price of SC2 (Collectors) because Mafia is basically all I play on SC2 now, and I wanted DR to get as much as Blizz got from me.

1. Are you Plato?

Yes, $1231 would be the maximum Plato could donate on one day, 12/31. But from now until 12/31 it would probably add up to roughly...$120,000 or so, minus any days on which he forgets.
Before restarting the cycle at $11 on 1/1.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Why doesn't he just pay him a penny a day and double the amount each day for a month straight.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Even a billionaire would be broke in a few months at that rate.

Come on, that's not reasonable. A condition such as this one should be specified in advance of the donation and agreed to, not named after the donation.
I suppose it might be reasonable going forward if Plato is really planning to donate ~$140,000 a year, though. But is Plato serious about donating the date in dollars each day (as outlined above, up to $1231 on 12/31)? And is he planning to donate every day / almost every day? Because I was going to try to match Plato's donation, but there's no way I can match $140,000 per year so if that is the case I won't attempt it.
However, I would suggest to DR not to advertise a requested website on the first page of every Mafia game unless the sponsor commits to a large, regular donation in a written agreement--such a case should be treated as an advertising contract, not an ordinary donation, because of the high-publicity advertising that the sponsor is requesting.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
It's simple enough to put on US, but I don't know if it will be uploaded to EU in 8 hours.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by having your website on the loading screen. You mean a link / icon with "Plato's Blog" as a title?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
You only needed to ask. I mean, I already have Revoki on there so this is very reasonable for me to do for a big donor.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I would not have a problem with a hint for Platos blog... If it helps him to find a publisher for his lyrics (in case he does not have one yet) I'm sure he would ad a lyric to promote Mafia :D
Also I think we have to honor Plato cause he's probably the one who will prevent Mafia to appear in Blizzard Marketplace...
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Mafia isn't going to be something you have to pay for to play. I've made this clear on many occasions.
Anyway, your request is implemented on US and will probably be on EU tonight. If not, it will be on EU tomorrow afternoon.

Okay then, if you think it is reasonable.
BTW what's Revoki? (I'm on vacation now with no SC, so the last version of the Mafia game I saw had no links to anything on it).
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Team Revoki is a SC2 Team of some sort that sponsors maps and players. Mafia is an affiliate of Team Revoki.
They have a website: https://www.teamrevoki.com/

:o What's an affiliate? Is the "Rev" in Revoki related to the Rev in DarkRevenant?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Just a mutual association. They've got a Mafia ad on their site and I have a Revoki ad on my loading screen.

Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Not counting the two people who had their money returned to them because of PayPal's treachery, there are 99 donors. The next one is the 100th donor.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I'd love to if I could figure out how to donate lol
Edit: it's on home page. lmao. I had my bookmark set to forums >.>
There you go. Am I 100th? :)
Apparently, Amazon took fees a grand total of $0.00!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
That was fast.
Also, yes. Congratulations!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
^_^
Congratulations too, for making this wonderful map and attracting 100 donors within weeks!
Edit: Split up these factoids from Paypal? Like fees taken?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
PayPal and Amazon have similar fees, but Amazon's are better in most ways. Assuming from US, at $15, the fees are identical ($30 for international). Above $15, Amazon charges more. Below $15, PayPal charges more. Amazon has a 4.9% fee to the donation, while PayPal charges 2.9% (3.9% for international) as well as a $0.30 fee.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Hmm. Okay, thanks for the explanation! Maybe keep that paypal account open and accessible for donors who want to donate a lot? Like Plato? ;)
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I don't trust PayPal with lots of money. That's the key issue here.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I see. I use Amazon a couple of times or so every month so donating was super easy. I also occasionally use Paypal and my only gripping with them was that it took a while to set the account up and "confirm" it. That was your problem area?
Btw theoretically, it would be cheaper to mail you cash lol
Edit: After reading your explanation about fees, I thought about my donation - the fees was $0.00 O_o
Maybe because I'm a Prime member??
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Fees are imposed on the recipient.
Also, the problems I had with PayPal were numerous, but the confirmation method wasn't particularly bad.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Seems I was wrong about the fees. They are indeed much more sensible than PayPal but there are quite a few other variables. I'll include a few other factoids to show the changing % rates of both systems.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Haha all right, sweet 8)
Just saw these factoids (gotta love excel?). Looks like you will be sticking with Amazon, heh.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I remember playing this on Warcraft 3 and absolutely loved it. I then did some research and found out that you can play it in real life. I've been having group sessions occasionally with a group of friends to play Mafia. Thanks so much DR! We even made up some random roles like "Wand Maker" and "Screamer" XD.

Lmao. In real life, I basically play the classic version of mafia. Sheriff, doc, mafia, citizens. That's it. The fun part is the discussion part XD

I want to donate my organs to Dark.Revenant in the case he ever needs them.
I'm sorry you're not selfless like me.

Buy Rev women's jewelery.

I would gladly accept women's jewelry. I wouldn't wear them, but I'd take them off your hands. ;D

Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Rev will dress me up in pretty clothes and new jewelery.

I'll just leave this here.

Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
JSYK, this was oops' idea. This is basically what Blizzard had in mind when they prohibited advertisements in-game.

Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
checking for donor status
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
It works. And it took a lot less than PayPal would have.
By the way, Amazon has a 14-day buyer protection thing built in (I can not use any funds from a transaction until 14 days pass without incident on that transaction) while PayPal just says "balls to it" and opens the buyer up to scams.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Are you in a bad mood today, Plato?
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
We breached $2000 a while ago. I am amazed!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Now you can truthfully say "Thank you, Plato."
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Wait, DR got 1000 dollars over the course of a month? DAMN.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Damn idd. Also i dont like how amazon doesnt protect the credit card number, i can click on the window again and it comes up as a suggestion, meaning it lies there somewhere in browser files and makes it vulnerable to stealing
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
That's really the browser's fault. From the standpoint of a web developer, there is no truly secure way to transmit the card data except through SSH HTML, and the browser can do all sorts of strange field-caching shit with HTML fields. If you're concerned, delete your browser cache.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
This game will at the least, be worth a discounted Steam game payment due to the amount of time I'll be playing on it. So. . . Shut up and take my money! :D
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I just donated, I only donated 1$. But eh its something right :D.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
I'm the 20th name exactly on that list, I'm such a loyal donor and I totally love my spot on the list. Yeah!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Fun fact: We're 2 donations away from the 200 mark.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
You may have just crossed it.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Muso was actually the 199th, but is appreciated all the same. :D
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
Someone who apparently doesn't have an account here that I can see claimed the 200th spot. Come out wherever you are, Mr. Yang!
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
you need to be more sellout
promise a custom skin to the 250th donor.
-
Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
how much to donate to play forum mafia V???/
~~~
-
Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
Just throwing it out there but, I haven't donated yet my name is on the list. If Rev believes I should keep my 20th spot on the list then he owes me a damn donor code. =D

One donator, one troll, then there is you.
This is being said with bad implications for the last one.

Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
i am still confused
how did someone donate negatively?
-
Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
Plator would you have a heart attack if someone stole your #1 spot? :P

Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
Thank you donor for your generosity!

Never learned indices at your primary school? Well, you're a big boy now, so let's learn! X to the power of two is x2, or X squared. x times x. x to the power of three is x3, which is x times x times x, or x cubed, et cetera.
anything to the power of 0, eg: 10029392380 Is one. No matter what the fucking number is.
Now, when you have any negative index (the singular of indices), EG: x-1, The Formulae is "x-y = 1/xy", so 2-1= 1/21, or 2-1 = 0.5

So when he donated 50c did paypal then charge DR? What was PPs take of the 50c?
-
Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
It was actually a 98-c donation.
-
Re: The Donor Thank-You Thread!
lately people have eitehr asked me, or made fun of me why would donate or pay for this game? im surprised how many people have that mindset of "why bother? this is free for a reason"
its a matter of respect and appreciation for the games creator. those of us who really love the game understand, even if they haven't or cant donate they still apperciate all of DR's work. :D

Re: Big Donor Thank You Thread!
This is just a post to make it look like someone posted because Yayap is watching for new posts. Thank You donors.
