See this thread for more context, but the gist is that we're going to send a CPer or two to the AFCCG who wouldn't otherwise be going! The rules:
If you'd like to chip in to help BUY tickets, the suggested donation is $25 (but all amounts are welcome). See below for Paypal/Venmo donation options.
If you'd like to be entered to WIN tickets, post "I'd like to enter" in the thread (restricted to people with 500+ posts or 5+ years). You don't need to donate to enter, but you're welcome to if you'd like.
Friday around 8pm Central, I'll close it down and draw THREE winners to get a pair of tickets each. Winners will be chosen completely randomly - no popularity contests. I'll get the best tickets the pool can afford.
The only requirement for the winner(s) is that they have to have a great time and post pictures.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across as a judgemental douche. I was just saying that I wouldn't feel right myself by entering if I didn't contribute. I'm not even trying to say that I'm offended. Please, by all means, leave your name on the list. [Reply]

I bet that everyone who entered and didn't donate blew more money than that on beer, tobacco, fast food, etc... in the past week.
I'm rarely on here to post but this struck a nerve... This has to be one of the most assholeish post in the history of CP.
No one asked you to make the people that didn't give shit feel bad. The thread topic CLEARLY stated you don't have to donate to be entered. You're such a douche! Why don't you donate more to counter your "doucheness" since you're so high up there (on that horse)?
Unfortunately I am not able to participate in this but just wanted to say that this is beyond cool! This place has always rocked but this is a new high point! [Reply]
I already have tickets, so I didn't enter, but it's a giveaway not a raffle. I've never donated to the site so I figured I could do a little bit of good and get karma on my (our) side. Plus I had $25 in venmo from fantasy football winnings I was just gonna lose playing poker. [Reply]

Done ranting!
Nice! You read this post, but not the other two where I say that I'm sorry for coming across wrong and where I'm good with someone winning that didn't contribute. But, you've always been a knee jerk reaction guy that likes to rant. So, you're opinion means nothing to me. [Reply]

I don’t see how anyone could appreciate it more. [Reply]

He never stops talking about how cool it was going back to Arrowhead. He lives in Springfield now.
i assumed this was going to get people that post here to the game...wouldnt this be kind of defeating that purpose? [Reply]

I was torn about it, but it's hard to draw a line with what people can do with the tickets if they win. Definitely wasn't my intention to give tickets to non-CPers though. [Reply]
