    The pledges currently stand at €89 if you want to contribute add you pledge

    Pledges so far

    MAdsl € 4.50
    Billy The Squid €20.00
    Sleepy € 5.00

    €150 (so far) for me to change my nick. 150 quid that would make sick kids happier this christmas. Bit of a no brainer really.

    Frankly I'm overwhelmed that people would donate money just to make me look a little sillier. But that's boards for you. It makes me wonder what other parts of amp I can sell to generate more even more money for SSF.

    If any wealthy users/companies are reading this, I'll happily sell space in my sig for links to your websites if you donate large amounts to SSF. I'll even change my avatar/tag to the highest bidder.

    I've seen the result of last years SSF. It brought happiness to a lot of sick kids who have done nothing wrong. That there are people out there that care and are willing to actually do something about it makes me smile.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    i'll Donate a tenner if You change your avatar to mine......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    €10 euros from me too.

    God, I feel warm inside now.

    Gwan Pam!


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    By the way, SSF goes large next week. I havent been slack but SSF is like a rollercoaster, once you get on and pull down those restraints, its pretty much a ride that I only claim, unconvincingly, to have any control over. Preparation is the key and I need to give the structure some more head time.

    The whole thing is really rather daunting too though SOO many people have offered assistance at this point that it is a full time job JUST coordinating the assistance on offer!

    Hold out for 200 Amp, dont sell yourself cheap!

    A cracking idea. Anyone who's had a row with amp/pam over the last year, revenge will cost ya! €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    can the person who pledges the most pick the name, and the duration of the change?

    i have a lot of money, and i can give it to merc....

    Name is pam mate, but there's an avatar and sig up for grabs...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    What therecklessone said.

    As regards what total that the name change occurs. I think €500 is a reasonable amount to aim for between now and Xmas. So get pledging.

    I will of course give pos rep to all who pledge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    yes to WWM!

    I donated a tenner to SSF with my resubscription yesterday and asked that pam's name be changed to amp.. no hang on... amp to pam... oh I'm so confused.

    Therefore, I have donated a tenner to this cause and IT WILL HAPPEN!

    (pam test)


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    i'll plege another €10 for the tag line....


  • Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 28,830 Mod ✭✭✭✭oscarBravo


    The hell, my tax bill was less than I expected. Put me down for €20.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,290 ✭✭✭damien


    Put me down for a tenner.

    Brilliant. Somebody please +rep this, I can't give any more out today... :(

    Update:

    Total is now €191 after €20 pledge from oscarBravo and €10 from damien.m.

    Gordon's done his bit also, fair play.

    agent smith has offered €20 total for an avatar/tagline combo (you did, didn't you?), anyone willing to top that?


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    aye, i did!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭smokey2

    I like to see money raised for good causes through silly ways!!

    now how to pay etc??

    Cool that brings the total so far to Just over €200. The quicker the cash is pledged the longer Pam/Amp has to suffer so spread the word people.



    Pledges can be honoured Using Paypal or the Santa Strikeforce Bank account further details available HERE.

    Think we should make the official total €211 mate.

    Recent additions:

    smokey2 €10

    And I should have included Gordon's €10 from his earlier post:

    Total stands at €211, keep it coming people


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭Santa Claus


    Put me down for 10 yoyos (Santa is all about the giving).

    I'll also give more cash if one of the mod's changes their name to Dwayne Dibley (A fortune could be made if DeV auctioned his name change but it'd probably impractical what with he organising SSF and all that).

    rdtext3.jpg

    Maybe Beruthiel could be Dwayne Dibley !?!

    Santa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    If everyone changed their name we wouldnt know who we were talking to lol

    Grand total €221

    (edit) iirc victor auctioned his signiture for charity when he reached 10,000 was that for SSF1 or a different charity and how much did that raise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    Will also pledge €10. But only if tag line is also changed to "ela, and her five sisters."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    you have to bid for the tag line separately, see amps signiture for details

    the username is just a collection

    the tagline and the signiture (i think) are being auctioned.

    Avatar, tagline and sig are all available.

    Current bid for avatar and tagline is €20 (from agent smith, €10 + €10), no public offers for the sig yet, but there must be a company out there wants that valuable advertising space. Hands up who reads amps/pams posts? Loads of us...

    Now DapperGent, is that €10 for the name change, or will you take on agent smith for the av/tag combo?

    p.s. anyone waiting on their +rep for their genorosity, I'm getting round to it. T'would appear there's a limit to the amount of rep one can give in 24 hours.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Dunno if this has been said already, but I'll give €20 if his tagline is changed to "and her 5 daughters" aswell.

    Now, someone supply account details so I can lodge it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    Will match Syx's €20 for "and her five daughters." It's a touch superior to "Five sisters."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    ye will have to decide a closing date for the avatar / tagline auction boys and girls.

    Name change total is €241, oscarBravo pledged €20 not €10. Other than that The Muppet has it all.

    Not too sure how people want to do the avatar and tagline, is that an auction or just another pledge system? Someone make a decision on that.

    How would people feel about a closing date of Oct 31st?
