10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

In anticipation of the 10th Official FFR Tournament, we invite you to help us raise donations towards providing some awesome prizes for this upcoming milestone in FFR history! We are very excited to present to you an outstanding lineup of donation incentives. Up for grabs are three new Support Token songs, and a limited quantity of 1.75" solid brass FFR tokens featuring a double-sided "all skill" enamel design!

This is a strictly non-profit fundraiser, meaning all proceeds from this event will go directly back into the community as spontaneous contest prizes, and the 10th Official Tournament prize pool. Thank you to everyone in the community for your continuing support!

FAQ | Frequently asked questions updated Frequently

I forgot to include my username and support token choice in the donation comment!

Send me a private message confirming your name and Transaction ID, as well as your support token choice (if applicable).


What are the physical token specs?

The "all skill" FFR tokens are 1.75" (4.5cm) in diameter, 1/10" (3mm) thick. Tokens are solid brass with a "polished gold" finish, and do have quite a bit of weight to them. All tokens were created using a double-sided mold to feature both enamel designs on each token! All tokens are shipped free worldwide in protective PVC envelopes.


How many physical tokens are available?

There are approximately 90 physical tokens available as donation incentives. A small handful will be reserved for rewards in future events.


How long does shipping take?

All tokens will be mailed in batches once a week using Canada Post. International lettermail may take up to 7 business days. Interplanetary lettermail may take up to 7 business lightdays.


Will Support Tokens be unlockable after the event ends?

Yes! All three new support tokens will be given a particularly challenging set of unlock requirements in the Skill Token Unlock thread, and may be distributed in future spontaneous contests.


What is a custom forum usertitle?

A usertitle is a the flavor text displayed under your username on the FFR forums and player profile. You will be contacted via private message to customize whatever title you wish to give yourself using any color and/or italics. This is a one-time change, permanent until you change your user title again. Unfortunately, we cannot offer image usernames as they break the forums on many browsers.


How long do I have to choose a custom usertitle?

You will receive a private message before the fundraiser is over. You may take as long as you like to decide on the perfect usertitle.


How do I include my username in the donation?

When you make a donation, there will be some ALL-CAPS text on the second screen promting you for your username and support token choice.


When will the fundraiser be over?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

You stepped one of the new tokens, that's contribution enough. <3

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

hi can you please update the FAQ?

with this question ^

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

okay thank you

can simfile authors have access to their respective files (tbr for myself, bedtime story for ilikexd, touhou for silvuh & ffr pro)

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I donated $12 and selected the support tokens i wanted, wondering how long it will take to receive them?

Hope the tournament goes well for all involved

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Donated 20 bucks. Hope its used well. Rock on ffr!

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

2poor4paypal

they denied my credit card because it was a prepaid card and it didn't have enough money on it.

also $72 already donated wowzers

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I would like to make this happen (not just for you, but for anyone who doesn't have access to their own content due to being tokens). I'll run it through with other staff to see if it's alright and handle this distribution myself; it shouldn't be too bad being less than 300 files overall.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

i'm sure hi19 would love it as well lmao

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Aside from the obvious brag about your donation amount, what do you guys think the requirements will be for the new donation tokens will be when they are released with their respective challenges? The Bridgeport Run is a 91, TJitSY is a 66, and Bedtime Story is a 70.

I'm really hoping that The Bridgeport Run doesn't end up like something that Epidermis v2 did, the amount of mindblocks I got on the original version was daunting @_@

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

you have to AAA all of my files in alphabetical order in a row to unlock bridgeport run

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

$20 donated for ya, excitements

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

How about I just make everyone in Team Pony & Team Pokemon Tournament signatures again like I did for the past 3 tournaments? Is that a good enough donation incentive? xd

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

can I order an audino sig that says d6.5

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

who made the brass tokens?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

As promotion for more donators, I donated a while ago. :D

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

sup 8-)

I designed the tokens over a three month process together with a fellow who professionally designs military challenge coins. They were were produced through Kunshan Splendid Craft Co., Ltd. in the People's Republic of China.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

How long do I have to pick a usertitle? I need to make sure I don't pick a stupid one.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Thanks for asking these questions. You will receive a private message before the fundraiser is over. You may take as long as you like to decide on the perfect flavor text.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I can work something out surely.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Where can I see the donation totals??

Donated $20 btw, about time I gave something back :)

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

We should have a donation total and donator list in the OP!

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

For the first time ever, I think I'm going to donate.

I've never donated my money before to anything, lmao.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Donated $20.

Also, I love how the full song title for Touhou Judgement doesn't fit on the screen. :lol:

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

+1

Same. I threw in $20 without hesitation. I'll probably donate more if I can later.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

*looks in wallet*shit me gots no coins...damn QUICK TO THE BANK~!![wait...no account...crap...erm...]QUICK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE~!!TOOOO THE MOTHER~!!!!!!!>w<

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

If I make a donation of $20 with a Visa card can someone give me reassurance that no more than what I donate will come out of the account cause it's my moms card and my mom hasn't been to fond of using cards online

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

50 character limit! :p

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Alright, I just sent it.

Prawn, don't send weird stuff to my home now, OKAY!?!?!?!?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Actually, hold on, how exactly do you know who donated what?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I'm fine with getting weird stuff

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

A person could PM a screenshot of their receipt if they need verification.

That's if someone donating and saying their username isn't enough.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Well, was making sure because there's mention of a donation message box and I guess I missed it??? I didn't see any donation message box.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

*make sure to include your username and support token choice in the donation comment!

In addition to that, I'm sure that transfers are logged within Paypal.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Again, I did not see a... wow, okay, I'mma PM Prawn now

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Thank you Dynam0! :) I'll discuss this with the event staff, and see if I can get something organized.

This will not happen because reasons.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I sent 20 bucks. You guys better not pull that horse shit you did last tourney in regards to cheaters. You follow that shit properly this time damn it.

That said, this is really neat and I'm looking forward to that token. I'm gonna be talking to my buddy on getting a good frame for it and mounting it on my wall.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Last tournament?

EDIT: Oh, I see what you meant -- never mind; yeah, I'll do it immediately (my mind was in the 7th official with the massive sandbags, etc)

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Nice, an FFR first!

First ever song released to surpass that limit!

WOO! :lol:

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

You guys better take only what I donate if I use a visa

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

damn if only i didnt work at a pet store i would happily donate $20 :(

i def need to get my skills back up though cause real money prizes?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Oh I forgot, I see two tokens in the picture, do we get to choose which or is that preplanned?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

1st Signature of the tournament.



making one right now w/out logo if that's what you preferred.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Better make a D7 one too since he'll be D7 for sure by the time it starts.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

That's the same token, front and back!

so much hype

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Just get your mom/dad to create a paypal account and it will be an entirely secure transaction.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Oh. I feel dumb then.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Nah they're going to max out the card

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Also, I wanna ask this, since this sprouted, does that mean... GASP, an official around the corner very soon!?

AKA: Any solid dates? y/y???

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

feel the power of mass editing.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

If you're paying with USD it will be exactly $20.
If you're paying with another currency it will not be $20, but will be either higher or lower depending on where you are.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

should probably check conversion rates from google using the tender to tender amount (ex. 20.00 CAD to USD for canadian dollar to united states dollar) or check paypal's conversion rates because I do believe they have a cost on conversion as well.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Canadian Exchange rate: 1 CAD = 0.881293 USD

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Ok so this is safe right cause I don't need people to be taking more out than what I donate and I will be paying with USD and can someone tell me who exactly will be handling all the donations sorry for having to much insecurity.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

just the fact that d7 is anywhere near my name is terrifying

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

$22.70 CAD as of 2 hours ago when I donated.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

think of it this way, you get Unconnected

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Damn, that's awesome :D They look amazing

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

AM pls

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

damn son sounds like you're mad cuz bad
don't blame you though, if i was stuck in the same division for 4 officials i'd be mad too

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Paypal only transfers exactly how much money you specify. (Assuming you are using USD)
It will be held in an FFR Donations paypal account. Access to this account is limited to a single person.

* There is no way for us to take money from you. You are giving money to us. If you give us $20, we get $20. *

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

nono, he's not talking about cheating in that aspect; that's how I took it the first time too. He's talking about the fact that I let a few people out scotfree with no punishment (YoshL, Anaru, random D2 botter, etc) last tournament. For safety's sake, these players won't be allowed to compete in the 10th official.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

photoshop hype staph pls

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

except in every case those people were kicked from the tournament ???

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Ok thanks zag and quick question will a prepaid card work to as well

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

They were, but I also indicated that I was going to blacklist/ban them as well, and I didn't do that. I will be holding true to that this time around, though.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Yup that exchange rate made me sad. I chose to delegate it to my bank :(

Paypal handles everything, there's no possible way for anyone to take more than you agree to. Whether you trust Paypal to not screw things up is a different matter, but it's not likely.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

why come my score didnt record?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

wow ok

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

i can understand yoshl and anaru not getting blacklisted/banned because 1 yoshl is a p. important staff member and 2 doing anything to anaru is absolutely futile lol

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Are none of the tokens recording at all? If so, I might know why.

Can someone confirm that the other two aren't recording?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Will prepaid cards work?

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

bridgeport isn't recording but I assumed that was because we were waiting for framer fixes

iirc, generally no unless it's a paypal prepaid

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Files should record now.

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

I might donate $20 once I get a chance if there are still some of those brass coins left, pmuch the only thing worth the donation, those token charts dont seem worth it. lol

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

Thinking about donating $20 just to help out. Couldnt really care less about the tokens but hey its a plus i guess :P

Re: 10th Official Tournament Fundraiser Discussion
 

donated $1000 i hope you accept my donation of all pennies
