Oh yeah, getting paid internationally is a huge pain, moreso when the sums in question are significant. Most of the times I had to deal with 30 business days of my pay being frozen for some freelance gigs made for out of country employers.

I didn't donate through the codex, but here's an idea of mine (not full of memes):
an underground room (vault, bunker, whatever) with a sign "RPGCodex" on the entrance.
The room is full of shelfs with game boxes on them (RPGs we like)
the player could click the gameboxes and a floating text will display the name of the game (maybe the ones who donated could choose a title they want to appear)
When exiting, a floating text will say something about how those people prepared their favorite games for the apocalypse, but no food.

What part of statue are people not getting. Statue does not mean mini-quest/new area.

What's with the form at the OP, then? DU marked "location".
Location mean "design an entire side quest for the game"?

Getting a custom location means they should (and probably will) put some effort into it.
Don't be butthurt. It's not like they won't add the statue if we ask for too much.

Did someone suggest an entire sidequest for the game?
Why do you use periods for questions and question marks for statements.

Alright, so I've received MCA's reply:
Aww. Must be Notch's shrine, I'd guess. Why have you people never sent him beer?
MCA said:Hey, I'll ask Fargo and crew about how this is all getting divided. Just so you know, I'm already going for one shrine, so resource-wise, I may have to decline in favor of someone else who's getting a shrine who's sent me beer in the mail over the years. I mean, I love you guys, but you've never sent me beer.

Remind him that we sent him a cup and a T-shirt. Sure it was with his own money but it's the thought that counts.

Tell him he'll never receive alcoholic beverages from the Codex because we do not wish to sully his slim and delicate figure with a beer belly.

Allright that's it, we SO need to get MCA in as a pedestrian into Carmageddon 3. :angry:

Actually, it's probably the MegaCynics guy.

If you give me his address I'll deliver one to him personally. One of the best too. Nothing but the best for MCA

Assuming MCA is out, surely the Codex has enough collective talent to build this provided we know the constraints within which we're able to work?
Design by committee is fail (as this thread well demonstrates), but perhaps there are half a dozen prestigious types who can be trusted to design a complete 'scenario' using what's been offered in related threads as source material?
If we can review six good 500+ word design descriptions with images, including but not limited to location/statue/inscription and other details, then we could have a poll-thread whereby the Codex could vote for the hivemind favorite.
VIPs (old Codexfags and mods) could exercise veto power if they feel a particular design casts the Codex in an improper light.
Yes/No/Maybe?

How about a mural like this?
This is probably a bit to esoteric but let me explain this reference.
This is from Grand Cafe in Oslo.
A hundred years ago this was the den of the Christiania Bohemians, a bunch of people who shocked the establishment with ideals such as free love and expression.
Christian Krogh(the painter) and Henrik Ibsen were part of that clique.(most of them died of syphilis, wouldn't you know)
Anyway...the two dames(right next to the waiter) are very central to this image, because they were basically the only two women who had the audacity to hang out with a bunch of men that rejected societies etiquette and morals.
(read: Brian Fargo & MCA)
Like the Codex the Bohemians at grand also had a problem with tards who joined them, not for the ideals...they just wanted to shock people for the sake of it(read: "IM HERE FOR TEH LULZ")

Very monocle, I like.
Would be too obscure for fags who want to see their name/RPGCodex painted across all the textures in the game, though.
