That's right! After years and years of bravely not having any money involved, Warsow has a public paypal account now! And we are actually raising money now...

What for, you might ask? Seeing as Warsow is a game which shines in competition, on LANs and online, we have decided to give Warsow a little help in this regard. We need a big, nice competition, but we are no LAN organizers... Thankfully, the nice people over at crossfire are, and with their easybash (CDC 3 and 4 have passed with Warsow competitions) they offer a nice platform to promote our game. Sadly, last CDC was less than perfect, with fewer participants than expected, resulting in lower prizemoney and lower interest in general. Now of course, life isn't all about money, nor is Warsow, or a good quality competition... But money opens doors, and generates interest, does it not?

So the decision has been made to use easybash's opportunity to provide a nice, interesting LAN. Supported by you and us, the community! The goal of our paypal campaign is to raise money for easybash! Primarily we are targeting the prize money, raising it with community-generated money will raise interest, and make it worthwhile for top competitors to travel. Secondly we would like to tackle the registration fees, and depending on the results of the donation campaign, we should be able to cut some off of the current subscription fee (EUR 50). Easybash is the ideal way, as crossfire will take alot of work 'out of our hands' (as opposed to organizing something ourselves), and the previous support they have shown should not be in vain!

And for your ease of mind: The paypal account is registered to Warsow's legal backup; the non-profit association Chasseur de Bots. The generated money will not disappear into a swimming pool at SoLomonK's Warsow Land!
Last but not least, we won't be letting the community raise all the funds by itself, as I think that the future updates on the website will show what we're working on right now.
So in the end, the goal is to have both Warsow as a game, and the community benefit.

*edit: we're just over 80 euros at the moment :-) thanks for the donations so far!!!
