imho that stuff does not belong into the game at all, I play this game to get away from RL stuff, it shouldn't follow me

if they want to help this one fund why not make the same thing Tolero did a couple month ago with this kids charity drive where people got the hero forumtitle afterwards

Wish they would have went this way also... this one fund organization doesn't pass the smell test either.  I donate from time to time, but not to organizations that are: new/doesn't have a history, are "applying" for 501c3, has big name flash appeal/(politicians no less).

I am thinking of buying 250USD worth of TP and then spend it all on one fund ribbons. But for tax purposes, I would need written acknowledgement of the donation.... Would I need to contact WB or one fund directly, or will turbine be able to help me.

Yes, I know TP are not a currency, but they are a good or service, with a fair market value between myself and turbine when purchased for the intent of donation to a charitable fund.

Why would you give Turbine any money at all?  If you really wanted to donate, donate directly.

Here's a list of charities

It seems that Turbine are becoming increasingly poor at handling PR and community relations.

Irony? I put my ribbon on and died. My ribbon went *poof* I had to reclickie it once I rezzed. Apparently dead toons can't draw awareness to the dead victims from this horrible, horrible tragedy.

Right, because people ingame give a damn about your stupid fucking ribbon. No one fucking cares about your little dick bow.

I blame your parents.

DDO has cosmetic cloaks now?

So they could do it, but just didn't give enough fucks until recent events?

I guess that explains why they had so much downtime...to add cloaks. Cosmetic cloaks.

Sorry, I think that is a LOTRO screenshot. Still no cloaks in DDO. Carry on.

I don't think it would even be feasible for Turbine to donate proceeds of the ribbon.  They are purchased in TP after all.

I think your ability to form logical thought must be blunted.

I was not aware that you knew about my "little dick bow." You are unfortunately confusing it with Turbine's ribbon. My little dick bow is actually worn to draw awareness to your even littler dick.

I'm not sure if it's slimy or not - but holy hell is Turbine via Mouthpiece Jerry being evasive on the topic.


this makes it different the norm exactly how?

they have always been evasive and non responsive for the most part, with a few notable exceptions (madfloyd for example). But after a short period of openness, the wall goes right back up.

I have always found cordovan and tolero to be the shifty type.
