Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
Sorry lch. I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought it was an inappropriate method or choice, just that I generally avoid situations where I need to use it. I pay several bills online and will on very rare occasions purchase a video game (read Dominions3 and a couple of Stardock games) online. I am just overly cautious.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
While I certainly approve of everything that Gandalf has done for the game (that I know about), I am not willing to set up a PayPal account just to give a $0 donation (and I can't afford anything more than that).
I hope that notification here can also have an effect.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
I don't have a pay pal account because I'm an old fart, but I'll gladly send a check to someone.
Just need to know where to send it.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
Hmm, I donated, and got a payment receipt from Paypal, but it never showed up on the list. Strange. Well, I hope it got there anyway.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
Wouldn't worry yet, I donated yesterday and got the Paypal announcement, but only after 24 hours I got a message Payment Accepted! and my name into list. So it seems there might be even a full day's lag with some donations.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
It seems there was, indeed, some lag. Wow!
Unfortunately, my PayPal account hasn't been verified yet, and I was unable to contribute to the Gandalf Fund. I guess I'll go pay my thanks to my favourite free projects now that I got up and registered. You know, paying for free things.

Re: Donation campaign for Gandalf to fund a new se
Im sorry. The lag was that I had to login to the account and upgrade it since they were going to charge me a small amount to process the credit card requests. But thats been done now.
Now Im on the hook and have to arrange to get the machines to the shop. Thanks everyone.
Oh and as far as a mailing address, google me. Put "Gandalf Parker" (with quotes) into google and get more than you ever wanted to know. 
Im one of the most locatable people on the internet.

IIRC, Paypal only requires you to have an account to RECEIVE money. You can pay without setting up an account. Just FYI for future reference.
