Oh man, this is going to be a fun night.

 

[toddhunter]

33k to be taken out as fraudulent...Spooky to raise 40k to put back in.

Best night ever.

Recent ST donations are under review. If you want to donate to ST because you think it has a chance to win, pls hold off for now. RT me!

He could just mean that ST will have a scheduled side tournament already and he doesn't want people to donate to a game that will have its finals streamed anyway.

He said "donations under review". As in "is this shit legit?".

 

[TheFightingFish]

Turns out that folks were just confused by the voting forms online, all that Super Turbo money was actually intended for Al Gore.

 

[atomic moth]

He said "donations under review". As in "is this shit legit?".

Yea I saw that. He could be informing the large donor that the tournament will already be streamed late at night and giving them an out.

Just playing devils advocate here.

 

[Professor Beef]

That'd be pretty fucked up if that donation money wasn't legit.

 

[Revven]

He said "donations under review". As in "is this shit legit?".

Yeap, the clock is ticking on this.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Controversy, what's the FGC without it?

 

[atomic moth]

Also I don't think there's any way the money itself isn't legit. I think someone affiliated with a large company that has interests against Smash (Sony, Capcom) put up that large amount and got through the process, only to be discovered today after review.

Maybe there is a mole inside Capcom Japan that told the Cannons that it was Capcom who wired $40k into that Japanese guy bank account. Then he donated 30 to ST (keep a bonus of $10k).

NO SNITCHING!

Fuck that, snitching is awesome.

 

[Rentahamster]

Hmm, perhaps it's fraudulent donations, or perhaps chargebacks maybe.

Hmmmmmmmm

 

[DR2K]

Using Bison dollars for a donation, tsk tsk. . .

This is getting good.

 

[Delusibeta]

Well, the last 48 hours of this has been absolute mayhem, and now everyone's going to be doubling down on everything. Tomorrow, the USA becomes a net exporter of salt.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

I have no idea whats going on lolllll

I'm just hoping Melee ends up on top when all is said and done

 

[FreedomFrisbee]

So where can I look at these numbers? Been lurking this whole thread and havn't seen a link...

The OP. Click on the links of each game and it'll take you to the donation page so you can check out the numbers.

Yeah you're right. Sony and Capcom want to make sure an 11 year old game doesn't take the main stage at EVO or else it could threaten their businesses.

 

[FreedomFrisbee]

http://shloubfree.free.fr/evo.php

This should suffice, thanks. Looking at each game individually is a pain.

 

[toddhunter]

Also try:

It is a bit better put together.

Hope DoA5 shoots up to the top at the last minute

 

[Alfredo]

Just when I think it couldn't get any crazier, it threatens to do so. Even though I don't really want Super Turbo to win, I really hope that the donations have been legit so far.

What a tweest

C'mon let's find out Capcpom did it. Then the carnival of madness can begin.

We're through the looking glass.

I see Skullgirls has finally crossed the 30k mark.

 

[atomic moth]

You do realize that Warner Bros pays to get their game in the biggest fighting game tournament in the world right? And that Sony just made a Smash clone, right? And that Capcom is recently heavily interested in video game tournaments, right?

And maybe that since the money initially went through, it isn't counterfeit? And that it's against the rules for an aspect of a large company to donate?

Or I guess you don't. It's okay. Thanks for your contribution but pay more attention next time.

Hope DoA5 shoots up to the top at the last minute

would not be the first time DOA caused something to rise quickly

You and me both.

I'm aware of all of these things and I fail to see how an 11 year old smash brothers game affects any of them.

And that corporate donations aren't allowed, right?

Keep on with the conspiracy theories though.

As if that has ever stopped any corporation from getting their way lol. Not arguing for or against btw. I just find that bit funny.

My point is, even if the corporations exploited some loophole it certainly wouldn't be for the express reason of preventing Smash Bros. from being at EVO.

I ain't keeping quiet because someone else did some shit. You better make sure I ain't in the vicinity of your foolishness.

 

[slightconfuse]

what a twist

 

[atomic moth]

My point is, even if the corporations exploited some loophole it certainly wouldn't be for the express reason of preventing Smash Bros. from being at EVO.

But corporations do have an interest in Evo. Capcom just ran with HDR version of ST at their tournaments.

I'm basically spitballing ideas here that would allow real money to be rejected. I understand it's weird, but I don't see any other theories.

Capcom should donate to Cvs2 if anything

LAAAAAAAAME

 

[likeGdid]

Wait, where do the Reptilians fit in?

 

[SloaneRisette]

We're now reaching the edge of madness. At least there's only about nine hours to go. Any longer and I think FGC-GAF would go insane.

Please enlighten us all with your theory on the situation.

If Melee wins this is going to go another day. I feels it.
