Someone is gonna swoop in a donate a large amount to Pokken at the last second.

Actually, I know someone who could probably put in an insane amount towards Marvel and theres a chance that they might.

SG and melee went up like 30k the last 15 minutes during the 2013 drive

Of course people are going to snipe

 

[BronsonLee]

I get that this is for the kids and everything, but is the organizer matching donations? Or are we all donating and then he gets the tax credit?

And now you've happened upon the real genius of this scheme

Yes, because they are going to be non-existent after Pokken wins, hahahaha!

Spoiler

Kidding.

 

[Dahbomb]

Marvel 3 about to break 1000 donators at 50k.

And this is to go... even further beyond!!!

 

[vulva]

Can you guys stop suggesting we have sex with dying children?

For any other year, maybe. But not for it's final year.

Shit's gonna be crazy if RyanLV makes top 8.

 

[ChosenPredator]

it'd be insane if windjammers didn't win

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

does...does that work?

Apparently he can get 35% back during tax time next year in the highest bracket which I think he belongs to, even if barely... so if thats accurate we just gave him +/- 40K when all is said and done? Lowest bracket gets 15% so that's be something like 17K-20K or so, capped at 50% of his regular yearly earnings.

Last year, all of the top 8's had shit audio production and you could hardly hear the crowd. They really need to address this. I don't need blaring game sound effects and crystal clear commentary - I want a hype crowd that loses its mind during a comeback or a crazy counter or whatever.

I really hope this isn't the case.

Yeah they screwed that up pretty bad last year. Hopefully they do something about it this time.

Well, you could always contact the organizer to get your receipt for a tax deduction, which I hope the non-Chargebacks will do. From Generosity website:

Can I get a tax deductible receipt for donating?

Donations made to nonprofit fundraisers may be tax deductible. Generosity by Indiegogo is unable to offer tax receipts for donations made to a fundraiser for a nonprofit. Any tax receipts would come from the recipient nonprofit directly, rather than from Generosity by Indiegogo. If you are donating to a nonprofit fundraiser, we recommend that you contact the organizer directly to find out if your donation is tax deductible. We always recommend that you speak with your tax advisor about your specific situation, as we can not provide tax or legal advice.

Donations to personal fundraisers made on Generosity are not tax-deductible. A donation to a personal fundraiser is considered a gift. We always recommend that you speak with your tax advisor about your specific situation, as we can not provide tax or legal advice.

 

[7roject28]

Should have been ARMS

 

[Parallax Scroll]

YOU CAN DO IT WINDJAMMERS

 

[crash-14]

Not true at all, I am sure the only reason its getting so high numbers its because they are so close and they have to edge each other. Close races bring the money.

I'm sure there still be people with that information sparking their communities. And if you really want to create that feeling, just throw some hidden % that totally will cause this.

There's many people that haven't donated to the other 7 options just because they don't stand a chance...

It's probably gonna go towards next year's EVO. That money is gonna get spent on the FGC one way or another.

 

[Danis Saur]

1 Hour left.

The time is upon us.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Marvel should take this donation lead and then run away with Storm for the last hour

 

[RockTurtle]

Well, you could always contact the organizer to get your receipt for a tax deduction, which I hope the non-Chargebacks will do. From Generosity website:

so if i'm reading that right donations to indiegogo are personal gifts to the organizer and thus are't tax-deductible, but the person who receives the funds (in this case the organizer) can donate them to a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) organization charity and WOULD be able to claim that for himself/herself as a personal donation

 

[Lemstar]

I get that this is for the kids and everything, but is the organizer matching donations? Or are we all donating and then he gets the tax credit?

i asked about this and no one seemed to want to talk about it

 

[Kadey]

The final lap boys!

 

[MiniBossBattle]

I imagine they are using people's donations as their own deduction, basically giving evo free money (to write off).
Very similar to companies donating your sales to a charity for deduction.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Project Justice? More like Project just ass.

 

[Dahbomb]

The final hour is upon us..

"I've got the donations in my sight!"

 

[vulva]

Shouta sitting there getting ready to drop 10k on Pokken and another 30k on bringing over japanese players.

 

[LucidMomentum]

It was a good run to the others, but it's between Pokken and UmvC3 now.

Let's see who crosses the finish line first!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

i asked about this and no one seemed to want to talk about it

And even if that were the case then..............what? Unless this is gonna be last EVO ever none of them are getting rich off of this.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Hmm, Pokken EVO drive channel is on the front page of Twitch

#collusion

 

[Kadey]

Get your snipers ready.

Am I missing something or is that... actually kind of not cool?

Unfortunately unless it can be proven or defined as tax fraud, there's very little anyone can do other than call it out.

Better repulse to death with Magneto

 

[Hazzuh]

Right now Twitch have a Pokken stream on the front page but not a Marvel one.

Pokken is the top viewed fighter on Twitch today with SF5 and UMvC3 following. So, that might have decided it? It is kinda dumb though.

 

[JeTmAn81]

remember when someone promised 10k for ki

They could still give it

 

[JayEH]

I like fist of the North Star.

But no one likes to watch Pokken =(.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

They probably would have done it if Marvel and Pokken didn't get past 10k.

Why is Skullgirls so low btw?
