![]() Engi no Donation Drive 2015: Samtron! Here on Engi we have a tradition of using 'AP Drives' to help fund the operation of the website. The previous owner, Samaru, paid for the website for years, and occasionally we had a chance to give him compensation for his efforts. When members donated money on Paypal, they received Account Points, or AP, to compensate them in the RP. Samaru stepped down to take care of his family, a new wife and kid. When he did, he informed me that since the last AP drive, the costs to maintain engi built up. Personally, I think it is about time we paid Samaru back one last time, and had a little fun while we did it. Enter: Samtron! The Engi Donation Drive 2015. Modeled after a Kickstarter, these next ~90 days will allow members to donate money to our website paypal, and receive wild prizes for doing so. No matter what you donate, you also receive a compensation of AP for every 5 dollars spent. On top of personal rewards, I have also set some goals for the whole Donation Drive, that will unlock other content for the site when reached! Overall, I think we can have a lot of fun, and pay Samaru back in the process. I want to at least raise $250 dollars to give to Samaru, so that is our Primary Goal for this AP drive. So here is our board. The goals for the whole AP drive are on the left, and the rewards you can purchase are on the right. All prizes are in USD. To donate, click on the large URL beneath the image. Once you have donated, post in this thread how much you donated, and what you wish it to go toward. I will post in this thread to confirm all donations. The full explanation of each Reward, and each Goal are after the image, then there is a small FAQ. Have fun everybody, and remember, this drive ends on January 1st! *For every 5 dollars you donate, you get 1AP, until you get 10AP from donating. Then, for every 10 dollars you donate you get 1AP. Donation Rewards! Quote:
Donation Drive Goals! Each of these goals are a promise to attempt to fulfill what is detailed. We will do our best to create content that would be interesting for Engi, and in a timely manner. ??? Goals are hidden until they are being approached or are surpassed, then they will be revealed. Frequently Asked Questions Quote:

Dropped $35. Guess I'll go take out another student loan now...#studentlyfe
Edit: Dropped another $35 to make it an even $70. I'll take a personal summon list and the Thread point dealie. So that's 12 + 2 for the site wide = 14. ===== Edit: So for the thread points, do we need to claim here what we want?? I'd like them to go to Anzu please. I'd like +1 Intelligence and to swap Stage III Detox from the Ninsen List for Ondochousetsu (Temperature Control) from the Medical List Also, her picture link seems to have expired, can we replace that URL with this one? PHP Code:

Yay for payday, and for engi. First three goals met as I have just donated $225.
I would like the donation special/cross-village list/forbidden list/personal summons/sennin. I think that leaves five dollars swinging in the wind but y'know, who really needs rewards?? I think the AP I get from donating is... 225-50=175, so 10+17=27? +2 from site-wide AP from the stretch goal.

For buying a Sennin slot, can it be a promotion to an existing character or does it have to be a new one?
Donated 200 for AP Limit Break Sennin Personal Summon List Donation special That should be 29 AP including the site wide +2 AP. Any rewards to apply to a certain character go to Chouku Shuju

As I can't edit my first post, being among the dwindling number of active members who aren't staff
![]() Donated another $30 towards a Cross-Village list (for Tanryoku) after realising that he was going to need one for the next part of his character arc. I probably could have waited until next payday but figured 'what the heck, eh?' Tis the season of giving...and The additional 3AP brings me to 34AP + 2TP.

The first 24 hours! Astounding!
Every donation goal that we had has been crushed. We will have to conjure more goals, and stretch them out a bit better. First, confirmations: (if you are confused, PM me and I can talk about it) Masked One is confirmed for $70 and 12 AP Oak is confirmed for $225 and 27 AP Buko is confirmed for $100 and 18 AP Calibur is confirmed for $180 and 32 AP Chi is confirmed for $140 and 25 AP Kapeesh is confirmed for $200 and 25 AP Remember folks, Thread Points are not AP. Current Donation Total? $915! As for site-wide unlocks! Please wait until an unlock has been added to the rulebook or site info before trying to use it. Aka, just because something is listed as unlocked here, doesn't mean that you should try to register it immediately. So what have we unlocked so far? Well let me reveal some of the 'mysteries', and then I will edit the main list to describe them in detail! For the $100 level, the mystery goal was NPC Country Info! For the $200 level, the mystery goal was Non-Village Clans! For the $250 level, the mystery goal was The Sennin List! For the $350 level, the mystery goal was The First Engi no Side Arc! For the $450 level, the mystery goal was Engi Site Skins! For the $550 level, the mystery goal was A hosting upgrade! For the $650 level, the mystery goal was Bijuu and Jinchuuriki rules! As for more goals? Give us a little time to give you more Goals to reach!

I still remember a time way back when Samaru still posted (albeit usually in relation to site maintenance), but when it comes down to it, family really does take precedence. All the best to Sam and hope my little 100$ donation can help make a difference.
Breakdown: 5$ - Donation Special (2 TP) 15$ - Bulk AP Pack (3 AP) 30$ - Cross-Village List (For Toshimi) 50$ - AP Limit Breaker (for Toshimi) AP total: 15 (donation total) + 3 (bulk pack)+ 2 (site-wide) =20 AP
