Yes, but we're getting a game from SR, who are in turn paying for their stock.

So SR would lose £2.50 every game, we wouldn't.

Sponsored gaming session. No food, no water, no sleep. 48 hours of straight gaming. Proceeds go to charity.

Also, a prize if anyone outlasts FantasyMeister.

A day of gaming!

(At the Basildon store of course)

It could be a £2.50 entrance fee or something, and we play through phases of a tournament. The winner gets a game of their choice, and the entrance moneyt goes to the charity.

Also, for every game sold that day, SR could add 5% of the profits to the charity.

_______________________________

A sponsored gameathon! a 12 hour gameathon. We get people to sponsor us - I'm thinking next SR club mag advert, and people around the festival leisure park with flyers - and in teams of two, we play games for 12 hours non-stop! The sponsor money goes to charity.

Or am I just being selfish? 12 hours of solid gaming benefits me!

That would be okay, but it wouldn't really be us giving to charity, it would be SR.

How about inviting people from the forums to turn up to a meeting, or something.

And then anyone stupid enough to turn up you could beat up and steal their money, and give that to charity.

Excellent idea, me thinks.

Loads of people would take part - especially if SR could get in a few X Boxes and Game Cubes from abroad - people would raise their sponsorship money, get in a team of 4, (say, people on these forums only) and then play all day, there could be competitions as well. Maybe just keep it to the PS2 and Dreamcast though, Virtua Tennis 2 would have to feature!!

10 teams of 4, 40 people - £30 sponsorship each, £1200.

Lovely!

Not to sound mean or anything, but if we have to get donations/pay money ourselves can it not be the "July Charity" thing, as we are all poor from xmas!

(or is it xmas related?)
