2024 Charity Auction - Call of Items

[Acydburn 1,614]

@Members

 

It's that time of year again! The beginning of the VHL Holiday season and therefore the Charity Auction!

 

So this post is our call for items, you can see what has been done in the past here. This gives you an idea of what other's have done if you want to replicate it but feel free to come up with something new. The way the auctions function is simple, we put up the "items" you offer and as members you put your money bids down and fight over who gets it. Once the time runs out the highest bidder takes the prize.

 

So what's this thread for? Well we need to know what to put up for auction of course! So, reply below if you're willing to auction anything, digital, real, or otherwise. You can also offer up incentives for group milestones or cumulative goals. These would be stuff like the Zoo Tycoon 2 stream that @Beketov has done the last couple of years. Essentially if, as a whole, we meet a certain amount of money raised then the milestone is met and the reward is "paid out" to everyone. Alternatively a cumulative goal would be if that specific auction item reaches a certain amount raised so like "$100 = a stream" or something and everyone puts forth money toward the same goal instead of budding against each other.

 

Notes:

- We've had amazingly creative auctions the last two years, check out the subforum for ideas for this year. It's okay to repeat things.

- Staff will have the final say on which volunteered items make it to the auction. Ultimately some things like permanent discord mutes or something might be funny but we aren't going to intentionally harm the league or do anything illegal for this.

- As always, everything must be SFW.

- When you bid on an auction item, you are agreeing to pay that amount in full if you win. Do not bid if you aren't willing to pay.

- If you sign up to auction off an item or your time please consider it a commitment. If you offer to do something please follow through with it. People are paying for these things so don't ignore them.

 

Once we get the items for the charity auction sorted, we'll set fundraising goals and share the corresponding rewards for hitting each goal. As always @Commissioner have final say if an item is appropriate and what items will be chosen. Volunteering an item in here doesn't mean it will automatically get chosen but putting something in means it can so make sure you're willing to do whatever you say in here.

 

Happy holidays! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

I'm once again willing to auction a game of your choice video for a one shot episode on YouTube. As a note, a few coworkers are subbed to my channel and were horrified by last year's choice

 

I'd also be willing, at a hopefully higher price point, to name a character in my novel after you (I retain veto power so my paranormal thriller doesn't suddenly have a character named Hugh Jass in it), and/or sign and ship a copy of the novel once it releases (July 1, 2025).

I'll put a few things in!

 

1. My next (relevant to you) VSN graphic will have your player as the focal point.

 

2. Any VHL graphic of your player. (I've done trading cards and signatures, but you can get whatever you want)

 

3. Choose the game for my Twitch stream (within reason). I'll play it for at least one stream, and if I like it I'll probably continue too!

@flyersfan345 and I have two things we’ll auction. 
 

1. A guest appearance on our podcast where you can choose the topics of discussion for the podcast. 
 

2. An Expansion Team in our Fantrax Dynasty Hockey League. (Multi-year commitment if someone bids on this)

I'm not sure they read the comments, but I did have to hear "Who would make a game like THAT!?" several times about Larry. FWIW, the gameplay in Larry was actually pretty good.

[BOOM 8,787]

Larry is my hero.

Oh I remember fondly when I did not really know English and tried to enter commands what Larry should be doing... must have been mid-80s

[sadie 914]

I'll throw in a graphic from me of your player (I'll do it in whatever style you might want!)

[Baozi 1,660]

I'll be doing my league of legends thing again @Ryan

[Will3 467]

I will throw in some things.

 

1. Complete control over my next player. (pending my approval)

Who they are, how they play and even how they became a VHL athlete. Everything is yours.

 

2. A personal interview with myself for a first year VHLM player to be turned into a VSN article for both of us. Article to be written by early January when I will have my new tablet.
