So let's see how much traction this will get.

I have over 1000 $poons. I want to give the bulk of them away to a poor home (say, leaving myself $p50 for personal rank maintenance). But not only that, I want to enlist every other forum member to give their $poons away.

To one horrible choice. Specifically, someone who'll try to gamble them all away.

There's two things I ask of you, PALGN:

1) Pledge to give your $poons away to one horrible choice.
2) Nominate yourself as said horrible choice giving a horrible reason why you should be picked. OR back up someone else's nomination.

Once pledges and nominations have settled, a poll will go up with the worst choices. The worst choice with the most votes will win everyone's pledges and will then be expected to lay the entire amount on a single raffle.

This is sure to be the biggest disruption of the $poon economy since Matth3w tried to get $p10000, and Mick Saige drew sigs for $poons. Assuming that he/she doesn't win the damned raffle. Either it'll be Project Mayhem and the economy will be left with a blank slate, or we'll have Rupert Murdoch Jr in our ranks.

Off we go then!

EDIT: Don't give your freaking $poons to me. It's a pledge. You pledge to give them to the winner of the poll.

EDIT 2: UPDATED WITH VOTING INFORMATION

Plus your preferred pledger/gambler. The one with the most plusses by 1pm Melbourne time tomorrow (10th February) gets everyone's pledges. This works out well because pluses give your favourites more $poons to gamble with.

EDIT 3: PLEDGERS: Give your $poons to mrcool37!

I will give all mine to the captain who sinks with the ship. The recipient MUST post a meaningful item of interest (not just a post comment) in the forums every day till the site is taken offline, proberbly well after users have follow staff to greener pastures......

I don't get it? You want us to nominate someone and give a 'horrible' reason as to why? Is this where personal attack start as a reason why they should have everyone's spoons? Then they just gamble it all away without any repurcussions?

Looks like nobody is doing it properly either. Maybe start us off with an example Goober?

I will donate every $poon I have (save 50 or so for personal rank maintenance) if AND ONLY if the "horrible choice" is Mick Saige, and he gambles away every $poon slowly while drunk on bourbon.

Just to inflate the $poon economy anyone who creates the best/funniest meme-picture or MS paint drawing of the whole PALGN situation gets 90,000 $poons.

Why? Just because I can. icon_biggrin.gif

I will also appreciate it if you then pledge this amount to the $poon giveaway.

For those that missed point 2, I've bolded the important bits:

It's quite simply an excuse to not take the situation (or yourself) seriously. But if personal attacks will net you some $poons that you can then pledge to the cause, then by all means go ahead! We could even make a "The Great PALGN Flamewar" thread to further the cause.

I'll pledge a million (I suck at negoiations...).

Espoch wanted 100 million $poons to gamble on number 5, I say this is not trivial enough!

Oh, I meant the recipient of the $poons.

How do you feel now, future $p90,000 recipient? Your pledge won't the the biggest! HAH!

1) I'll pledge 1337 $poons, provided I get that many by the time PALGN dies. If not, then you don't get any.

2) Make me your horrible choice because I like pi. I will gamble $poons until I have exactly pi $poons.

^ He'd like all your $poons. I'm pretty sure they're rusty and useless enough for him to get plenty of enjoyment out of them now.

(If only I had the skills to change the S into an $.. Ah well..) XD
