    I am making a few changes in my play style... I have been purging my wealth in the best way I could to benefit the shard and assist in events. That being said, I am going to do one final last donation to the shard (in terms of gold/plate/items) to help keep things firing on all cylinders. Anything remaining will be distributed to friends. I am in the process of selling the last remaining items/stock I have to make this donation live. This will be happening over the next week or so.


    Event Donations:
    Fishing events: Point of contact - @Zyler

    For these events, which I enjoy watching, will be the donation of 20 million gold piece (gold/plat/items) to ensure the next upcoming events will have ample prizes for the participants. The 20 million can be split up however Zyler sees fit, and largely depends on the items that will be donated.

    Resist events: Point of contact - @Ariadne

    For these events, which I love funding and participating in, will be the donation of 300k each casting reagent, 500k cloth, and some misc gold (about 2 million gold). This will at least ensure the next 5 events will have at least 60k each casting reagent, 100k cloth, and some reserve gold, with no cost to the point of contact. I currently almost have all of the reagents available in the bank, in the process of buying the last as we speak.

    King's Library Writing event: Point of contact - @Alex Caember
    One new event that I have grown to like, and the results it produces is the library writing contest. This helps the shard in a unique way that not many appreciate. I, however, appreciate this writing contest and love it. That being said, I will be donating 7.5 million gold pieces to the writing contest fund to ensure the contest continues on long after I leave and players that participate are rewarded justly.

    Trammel Library: Point of contact - @Azoth

    I love the Trammel Library if many did not know. Ever since my time began on Baja, I was a trammel pixel craving junkie. This library gives me a headache when I go inside the place, which means Azoth is obviously doing something right. To help ensure the Trammel Library has ample funding to continue the stockpiling of goodies into this place, a donation of 7.5 million gold pieces will be made the point of contact to buy future items. This option will be reserved to donate trammel type items in the sum of 7.5 million gold or higher, if donation money falls short.

    I need the 4 point of contacts to message me on IRC, so we can set up a time to transfer the goods over. Once completed, I will make a confirmation post on this thread to verify it has been completed.


    Long Live UOR!
    (and for my buddies) GET HYPED SON! HYPE TRAIN! CHOO CHOO!!
    Cheers,
    Treasureman

    @Treasureman, thank you very much! This is completely unexpected and totally appreciated :) The Librarian is very sorry to hear about the headaches, but promises to lend you Santa's glasses whenever you visit :cool:. You have such amazing treasures that the Trammel Library will be delighted to receive whatever you decide to offer, be that funds or goodies. I've just told my long-suffering wife the exciting news and she's smiling too (even if she knows that now I'll spend half the night thinking about yet more deco!). All very best wishes from Azoth, the Librarian, Mad Professor, Abramelin, Horse and the rest of the crew :)

    Great stuff Treasureman! This is one of the biggest donations to the shard events I've ever seen!

    I hope this isn't a going away thing - Maybe you got promoted to a GM!?

    @Treasureman - This is incredibly unexpected and I am very grateful for the donation. It will definitely ensure that there will be more writing contests to come (hopefully many more!) More to the point, I am very glad that you appreciate the contest and the library itself and what it ultimately can mean for the server and its history.

    Again - thank you. I messaged you in IRC.

    @Treasureman I sent you a PM ... IRC is playing up again. Will try to fix it tomorrow. For now ... Time for the Librarian to dream of rare books, necromancers' tomes, rare scrolls and other precious things :)

    Overwhelmed and excited, our miscreants Abramelin and Horse carried back their new treasure to the Trammel Library. Now there will be sqabbles about who gets to be memorialised in a Statue? The gorgeous red Necromancer's Tome will find pride of place on a marble pedestal downstairs in the Library. Pictures will be posted!!! Now, though, time to try and grab some sleep after all this excitement :) Thanks, Treasureman, this is so much fun! :)

    Resist Event donation has been completed. 300k each casting reagent, 2 million gp, and over 500k cloth given to Gideon Jura, as he said he would pass onto Avery! HYPE!

    All I have left is @Zyler

    Wow! Awesome philanthropy alert!

    This is one reason I love playing this game. The unexpected act of altruism that can really just brighten someone's day.

    Bravo, Treasureman, bravo! I hope to one day amass a fortune worth redistributing in a similar fashion.
