    Happy birthday @Andartianna !

    I'll spend my (more than) 5 bucks, like every time. I'm happy about the emote on the stretch goals. That's a wonderful idea! I'd like to see that more often. And less fountains and large statues. :-D

    I'd also like to see a darker telethon theme some time soon (more serious than the Halloween stuff). One can always hope...

    It's just as crazy worrying about the numbers even when you can see them update once or twice a minute.

    Oops! For whatever reason I believed it was next Friday. Don't think I didn't add my eyerolling because I didn't care, I just fail at using a calendar. Hopefully I'll have a better excuse to send a few bucks your way.

    We used to get 100K+ in 12 hours, four times a year. The telethon is now 4 hours, twelve times a year, and we're "only" getting half as much. Something math something.

    I know right like 50k x 12 > then 100k x 4 but it's math maybe we have to spell it out. $600,000 is greater then $400,000.

    r50 did 50k
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=81938

    r49 did 45k
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=80665

    r48 did 75k
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=79501

    r47 did 60k
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=78617

    r46 did 80k
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=77793

    So the average for the monthly ones are about 62k per month.

    Which means they are on average doing more than the quarterly used to, since 3*62=186 and only the Summer 2016 part 2 did more than that with 200k. While most of them did closer to around 120k which would be 40k per month.


    Was that OK as ...something math something... @Elwyn

    I guess it's whatever fuels the telethon. There must be a lot of people with deep pockets that like those things. So more power to them. If it doesn't have stats on it then I'm like a church lady looking for a free bus. Next!

    If they were to give stuff with stats it would mostly only be lowbie stats. Look at the bundle item weapons they give. They can't give away "uber" stuff for $ because that would throw the game off balance.

    I bought $10 worth of COTO's. I figured I would eventually use them or sell them.
