Awesome idea. I'm in.Some_Nob wrote:Well its good to hear that you have had some contact to our Japanese Players.
It would be another tradegy itself If I dont get a beating from them as well (not that theres enough of you to do so already but I like to share the beatings.. i mean lessons).
As for donations, our family already made one to the local appeal - though perhaps we could try doing a Oratan Fundrasier? - or how bout get people to sponsor us - a VO day - all money goes to Japan?

Re: Earthquake in Japan
There has been a third explosion at nuke plant. Evacuations are in progress. I have no other info to give. Appears to be a media blackout.

Japan is coming to an end, and I'll be steamed like freshly-made dumplings if those homophobic zealots from Topeka, Kansas protest Japan for whatever bullcrap reason they come up with!!

Re: Earthquake in Japan
sorry. I have a tendency of getting the idea that the WBC will act all arrogant and jump to ridiculous conclusions whenever something goes horribly wrong in the world, which they most likely do! You remember the 2006 Sago Mine Disaster, right? Those WBC chumps protested the funerals of the victims, just like the U.S. soldiers at their funerals!

What WBC? Please don't assume we all know what the acronyms stand for; I don't see what the World Boxing Council has to do with Sago...Temjin747K wrote:sorry.

WBC in this manner stands for Westboro Baptist Church. They're pretty infamous for protesting funerals for U.S. soldiers.Kaiser Dragon wrote:What WBC?

Also it may be time to turn some thereotical science into real. An absolute zero bomb could totally save the plant right now. As it is, I think they're going to have to abandon the plant if they don't get it under control in the next two days.

Re: Earthquake in Japan
I played a lot of games with people from Japan in VOOT. Despite the inability to speak with each other, they feel like friends. It is very sad to see the situation they are currently in. I understand Oratan is about Virtual On, and not about troubles of countries around the world, but I was wondering if it is possible make a sticky thread in all the forum section regarding Red Cross donations to the relief in Japan, as well as a frontpage link. We're a small site and all, and not enough viewers, but at least for the few that visit, we can bring awareness to the situation in Japan and how they can help. I'm very fortunate my relative in Japan is OK.

I'd be interested in this. Maybe set up a tournament with a 20 dollar entrance fee and 15 dollar fee to watch on livestream.Some_Nob wrote:Well its good to hear that you have had some contact to our Japanese Players.

I just meant real charities. Sadly, there are scams out there, so please check them out before making a recommendation.neo helbeast wrote:I'm not sure what you mean by legitimate.
