ITT: A misc'r is forced to make a choice. It could be you.

[Final_Rep]

EDIT: Both the 500 and 1000 mark have been hit. I have PM'd a mod to help with the 1000 post Challenger Appears mode. Without that A Challenger Appears mode is not going to happen. So if you know a mod who can do it please let them know? Thanks!

Winner(s) tomorrow will be announced and PM'd with instructions on what to do: i.e. they have to post in the thread with their choice to either take the money or donate it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much is your favorite charity worth to you? Let's find out.

If this thread reaches 100 posts I'll give the #100th poster $10 or their favorite charity $100.

If this thread reaches 200 posts I'll give the #200th poster $20 or their favorite charity $200.

All the way up to 500 posts where the 500th poster gets $50 or their favorite charity gets $500.

The rules are:

- Whoever makes the post has to choose: take the money for themselves or give 10 times as much to charity.
- They have to publicly announce their choice in this thread.
- The charity must be a non-profit organization (NPO) with online donation function.
- The misc'r must have PayPal to receive funds if they choose to take the money.
- Only the highest number will get the reward. So if it reaches 200 the 100th gets nothing. If it reaches 500 then the 400th, 300th, 200th and 100th get nothing.
- This lasts until 11am Alaska Time on April 20th.

Call it an experiment if you want.

I am guessing it doesn't even get to 100. In any case, I'm going to bed now, will check back in the morning and see where it's at.

EDIT: The response has been bigger than I expected. Therefore I have now implemented a stretch target which I will call "A Challenger Appears" mode. If this thread hits 1,000 posts a random poster in this thread will be forced to make the ultimate choice: $250 for themselves or $500 for their favorite charity. The original rules still apply for the first 500 posts. The random poster cannot be the winner of the first 500 posts contest. Additionally, I will not be doing the /rand function -- a mod will have to step up and handle that piece as I want to be sure I do not bias the results in any way.

Total potential payout to charity: $1,000
Total potential payout to the misc: $300.

Let's see how charitable the misc is!


EDIT: I will also be recording a video of me donating the money to the charity/sending the money via PayPal as proof. I will even include a spoon if asked.

[Deevious]

Sign'd, but change the rules. Make it a random person from the 500, otherwise people will delete posts to fudge up the outcome.

[ryanthestark]

would donate, well the $50 would be questionable but probably still.

Plus not sure risking my paypal to the misc would be worth it anyways haha

[biggerplz09]

is there a limited amount of posts?

[xplicid01]

I guarantee this makes it to 500 posts, threads make it to 500 posts for when people with high reps do this style of thread.

[Just4Misc]
