Sugartits representing TORN as a f**king retard asshole, sugartits parents must be proud they never made it out of committee to staff.

Being shutdown for asking legitimate questions isn't right.

The moment I started reading over it, i figured Torn benefits.

In some way or form, Ched wouldn't do this unless it benefited his business. Whether it's a tax incentive, or something else.... there is something.

If there is literally no business case for Ched, why add it?

Honestly that's just depressing that people genuinely cannot comprehend a genuine want to provide a means of help for people without a business incentive.


There is nothing in it for Torn other than the knowledge that we can, as a community, better the world around us.

First off, players being genuinely curious is being met with a large amount of hostility. If this does get released, you're going to need quite a big bullet proof Q&A page. We have questions, did you expect a mass amount of people to just blindly act like sheep?

-

Honestly, just let people donate directly to charity. Maybe a page with links out directly to their websites. You could list the countries where people get personal tax incentives (among other things), and your push could actually make people donate to causes, if that's all you want.


If this is added to Torn, I'm going to feel like I'll have to drop $x amount of cash to "get a missed book", which already pisses me off because of the way the book chance is generated to an infinite loop of subscriber status. Not sure what I'm talking about?? clicky

You're like Apple "fixing" problems they create.

What if I don't want to donate to charity?
The moment you say "well don't" ...

You're offering services that you can't get anywhere else in the game. If I want to keep up, I'll have to. You listed way more than cosmetics in the rewards. I find some of those listed things OP.
Stick to the colours and cosmetics.

There's "being genuinely curious" and "just being an asshole". That much is obvious from the "sure bud" when provided with actual sources from the owner himself.

The gains you'd get from this are in no way going to be needed "to keep up", unless you're maybe entering fashion contests on the regular.

You'd also have the option to donate directly, by seeing the actual charities on the charity page itself, by all means feel free to donate to them. This isn't a zero sum game... You can literally do that.

Well, you edited your previous post, with a reference to ched from 6 years ago. Sure 6 years ago shit was different, but nowadays I doubt you cant get it working with some charity and/or third-party, but of course you guys try ;)

When I give to charity I don't do it to get money back...

finally [2060206]

But why not, if you can? Not like charity gets less, in fact you could donate more if you calculate the deductions of taxes in :) Win win to me :)

Tarelli [1060371]

I don't know if I can.

Its not something I'd bother looking in to.

I just give to causes when I see fit.

MightyGoober [812478]

Keep it to true cosmetics, you won't hear a peep out of me or many others.

If you start selling game enhancing quirks (no matter how small or minor), you will have a section of your player base that will want the product of the transaction, not the charity donation.

LT just published the economic report, show how truly engaged with this game people are. There's a large portion of people who see selecting a book, or doing other things very advantageous.

Even if people are just doing it for the incentives, or if Torn is doing it for business purposes, it doesn’t really matter. The end result is that money is going to charity. So everyone should be happy here, right?

Player - gets cosmetic/minor benefit
Torn - Community goodwill or tax reasons (which aren’t even real)
Charity - receives donation

I’m confused about what the downsides are here, as long as the “rewards” stay within reason

You don’t understand how tax deductibles works and it shows.
