Fucking finally!




Although I still get the shitComposer forum links at the top.

DarkUnderlord ,

I don't think the potatoes get added from all the campaigns ?

Now, if you donated to one of these campaigns:
+ Wasteland 2
+ Dead State
+ Project: Eternity

You've received +30 days ad-free for every $5 donated as was originally promised. That is, the total amount you've donated to those campaigns (or payments made on your behalf) / 5 * 30 (rounded-up) = total days ad-free. Not only do you get this generous ad-free time but you've also received an extra 180 days ad-free as compensation for it taking so long for me to sort all this out. In all, 263 users have been affected by this update.

These were my personal donations, not counting what other donated onmy behalf:
$26 P-E
$3 DS
$10 W2

Any donations made to the other recent or still active campaigns:
- Tides of Numbers KickStarter
- Divinity: The Sin of KS'ing Early
- Potato 2013

... have received potato as per the terms of that campaign.

$11 D-OS

It counts as me having 36 potatoes. I cannot into potatoe conversion rates etc.

D:OS = 1:1. $11 = 11 potato + $25 = 25 potato from generous Temaperacl contribution = 36 potato

Unless you select the "Anonymous" choice when donating, your user name will be shown in the list of donors under the campaign you donated to (example). Note that this "Anonymous" checkbox option will still record the payment details in our system; this allows you to receive any potato or other benefits associated with that campaign (including optional campaign tags) - but only you and the Codex Administrators will be able to see your payment.

I still don't get why ALL the Codex Administrators need to know the payment details. It's kinda unnerving. I mean, the last time I donated to get one year of free-ad Codex, only Taluntain and DU knew that information. I suspect that this is some Crooked Bee request/shenanigans but still.

Actually it's more of a case where by default, the highest permission option is Administrator, so I code with that in mind. The permission check is "only allow if admin". I did think about making it DU and Taluntain only but this way, the other Admins can potentially fix shit if something goes wrong (you enter an incorrect name while donating and need it tied to your account or something similar). And I'm a big fan of not doing everything myself.

At the moment, only I have access to the PayPal account if something goes wrong on that end, but that may change in future.

Is there a way to make a donation Old-Skool style and then get the potato manually?

Either use the anonymous option at the bottom of the My Account page and then start a conversation with me with those details so I can verify it - or talk with Taluntain and make a physical cash donation.

I have five potato.

[Haba]

Can we trade potatoes for vodka?

Fool! You make vodka from potato!

 

[Konjad]

I have five potato.

Even I have more.

 

[evdk]

Even I have more.

First you'll have to give one third potato to Germany, then one third potato to Russia and then one third potato to Austria. Now you have no potato.

 

[Toffeli]

Depends how much used and if she has a dick.

Is the dick considered plus or a minus?

Spoiler

I jest, of coursce a plus

 

[dibens]

Glorious potato! Good timing too. The central heating is off, but summer is still over the mountain. Is cold.

How does one go about getting a custom tag with these? Do I throw potato at the monitor until it changes, or I need to upgrade the account the traditional way, or should I save them until such service becomes available?

c ist richtig

 

[SuicideBunny]

what about the most important campaign of them all? the one for/against anime avatars?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah, I seriously can't be fucked manually entering any more payments. No other old campaigns will be considered for potato.

Tags will be available as a default option for any campaign you donated too. As long as you've donated to that campaign (and I might put in a minimum amount like $5), you'll be able to turn on / off the related campaign tag at your leisure. It won't cost any potato to do this.

I am considering a special "Potato King" tag which the person with the highest amount of potato in their account at that time will be able to enable (doing so will disable it from anyone else who had it previously, thus ensuring there is only one potato king at a time).

Custom Titles will come with the Patron tag. The patron tag will be available to anyone who donates to any of the server campaigns.

Custom Avatars we're looking at around 120 - 210 potato. Once enabled, you will be able to upload your own custom avatar and change it as many times as you like.

Early GD Access will probably be around 9,000 potato. Oops I mean 90. Yeah.

I am considering an option to gift potato directly to other users - but that's probably gonna be a while.

How much potato does it take to get blocked for GD again?

Custom avatar seems a bit pricey. Having access to an entire forum should be considered more valuable than profile ornamentation. Even if that forum is GD.

 

[Barghest]

Potatoes are the new bitcoin. But when can we trade them for physical goods? I'm sure everyone wants to trade theirs in for DU-branded underwear.

 

[Crooked Bee]

I'd say custom avatars should be as pricey as possible. (Assuming DU sorts out the problems with the gallery.)

Well, on SA for example avatars are five bucks, and I imagine GD access would be roughly equivalent to the Platinum Upgrade which is ten bucks. Not saying Codex should use those prices, but the latter is costlier than the former.

I suppose the higher price makes sense if you want to strongly deincentivize custom avatars, though.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Yeah, basically this. There should only be a handful of members being able to use custom avatars, imo.

DU's call though, of course.

Isn't that $5 per change though?

Yeah but you get GD access anyway if you just wait 12 months. And they're not the main attraction here - unlike SA where you can't post anywhere until you cough up some dosh.

I see someone has been straying to the tranny threads by "accident". Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Why the hate for custom avatars? Don't you like your avatar?

She's an admin, she gets what she wants.

Yeah, but I don't think most people are in the habit of changing it every day. Whateva

 

[Alex_Steel]

She's an admin, she gets what she wants.

Well, of course. And those top bankers get what they want, that's why nobody hates them.

But I'd prefer an answer from her.

 

[Helly]

As a matter of fact, DarkUnderlord, once the custom avatar option is available, will all of us with pre-incline custom-made ones be able to keep them or will we be forcibly purged ?

 

[evdk]

I suspect a purge in which case I would demand the return of the avatar gallery to its former glory, none of this "xenforo mysteriously refuses to show half of the pictures" shit.
