So Allen has gotten himself in a financial jam and needs $973 to be able to come to the Kong-Off 3. It just wouldn't be the same without him, so I would like to ask the DKF community to come together and help get Allen to the KO3!
Paypal any amount you can to jcharrist@gmail.com and I will make sure it gets to Allen. If we come up short, I will make sure it gets back to you.
I will keep this updated with how much we have raised and how much we need to go!
I will get things started with $200!
Money received:
Jeff Harrist: $200
Scott Cunningham: $100
John McKinnell: $50
Ken House: $160
Dave McCrary: $50
Anonymous: $23
George Strain: $50
Mitch Elliott: $30
Jeff Wolfe: $50
Ethan Daniels: $100
Andrew Barrow: $10
Robert Felstein: $30
Aaron Rounsaville: $15
Estel Goffinet: $10
Dan Desjardins: $50
=$928
Pledged but not received:
Craig Ziegler: $50
=$50
Raised: $978!!
To go: $0

Jeff, put me down for the same amount as Scott ($100usd). Yer buddy! Lightweight! Ill send ya the paypal by friday 8)
I'd also be willing to "donate" the proceeds of a charity auction; I could offer a copy of "how to win at donkey kong"
-
Yer buddy! Thanks guys!
-
I hope it's my turn after Allen so I can come! :-).
-
Over $100 in so far so time to change it up a little.
I'll still pay the $10 for each player (that hasnt already gotten their $10 turn) BUT you have to play Dig Dug, Mappy or Gravitar.
It's my money so its my rules ;-)
-Ken
For those of you who cannot donate cash but want to help... I'll donate $10. for every streamer who streams any classic arcade game other than DK for at least 1 hour (MAME/Arcade/Multiboard.. whatever)
I would love to see Mappy or Dig Dug get some love....
-Ken
EDIT: This is not an attempt to get people over DK, I love DK and really enjoy all the streams. Just a way to spice things up a bit while helping Allen and those who want to help but cannot swing it right now.
EDIT 2: The List
Marky_D (Got in both Mappy and DigDug!)
JNugent - Zookeeper, good stuff
MrBumpnJump - Bump-n-Jump
Homerwannabee - Karnov
Jeremy - Natural Mappy player
Katie - Tried both Dig Dug and Mappy, good show
Ross - Mario Bros, Almost made 1m
George S - Galaga
Stormdata - 1942
Mike K - Buncha stuff
PM me to add to the list.

Actually I suck at Dig Dug but Mappy was kinda fun (Suck at that too only got like 85k one night streaming and don't think I even got 60k at BOTA2) - So sure I'll give it a go absolutely!
Thanks Ken!
-
iv still got some wildcard money in my paypal, happy to give $50 back...
8)
-
I'll put 50$ in the pot ;D
-
Once I get my paypal working again, I'll throw in $30. Also, Ken, I hope to stream a non-DK game later this afternoon to get Allen another $10. Probably Joust.
EDIT: Looks like RQ is closed today, gonna have to stream Joust another day.
-
Gonna stream Zookeeper for an hour, Ken! I'm broke, but want to help! Starting now!
-
If the goal isn't hit by Friday, I'll throw in some. I'll know then how much I can give.

I am still eligible to help out in this way? And does the game have to be single game lasting one hour?
Either way, I'm going to start streaming Bump 'n Jump - MAME (can't be stuffed setting up to stream from my cab) - Single game of that should be well over an hour :)

Offer still stands. You just have to stream for at least an hour, any classic but DK. The game does not have to last an hour but you need to be streaming classics that long.

This was 53 min until some how I hit a button that screwed up my computer screen http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/b/472592780 (http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/b/472592780) I am only good at two games :(

OK, I am going to do over an hour of Karnov arcade game play broadcasting. 8)

I'm pledging $50 towards Allen's expenses for the KO3. I'm also about to stream for at least an hour (probably Galaga) to make Ken pony up some more cash: www.twitch.tv/gstrain (http://www.twitch.tv/gstrain)

Thought I'd give 1942 a bash. Too rusty to get to the end though.

Much props to Scoundrl for donating.

I should get a bonus this month because my students rocked last year (I find out Friday). If I get it, I can chip in $25-50. I'll keep you posted Allen!

Ended up streaming about 100 minutes of Galaga, Moon Patrol, Congo Bongo and Speed Coin. I still haven't figured out a way of getting a stream of Galaga going that both looks good and doesn't cause disruptive skipping in the video when I play.

Bloody hell as i am writing this message i have tears down my face.. i want to thank the dk community who has given their hard earnt money to my absent minded brain for forgeting to pay my rego.. Thank you from the Bottom of my Heart i dont know wht to say.. love you all.. God bless.
allen staal Muscleandfitenss
thanks Jeff Harrist and ken House..
-
I was always an Allen fan (fu fb fan club) and now I'm a Mappy fan! Woooo 8)
-
Streamed an hour plus of Mario Bros. for the Allen fund.
I was rusty as shit and basically bitching non-stop (sorry about that), but hopefully someone who hadn't seen much Mario Bros. got some level of enjoyment from it. Regardless, it was for a good cause.
Thank you Ken, for giving so many of us poor bastards this opportunity to help our buddy Allen.
-
What Ross said, only replace Mario Bros. with Centipede.
-
I'll throw $50 in the pot for Allen.
P.S. Had a dream I played Defender last night. Does that count?
-
What Ross said, only replace Mario Bros. with Centipede.
Grrrrr....I bought centipede on the xbox live arcade recently, I love it but its SO difficult, the number 1 spot on the leaderboard is only 175k I think....but then again its probably that low since its played with a controller and not trackball ...maybe.
-
I'll contribute to this. Will be playing some Frenzy for the next hour at www.twitch.tv/thomasthc (http://www.twitch.tv/thomasthc) - the stream looks like shit though, since my webcam sucks (tried XSplit and other programs, but I'm an idiot and can't get anything to work) 8)
EDIT: Game can be watched here: http://www.twitch.tv/thomasthc/b/472758732 (http://www.twitch.tv/thomasthc/b/472758732)

I will stream some crappy Dig Dug play for Allen at around 3 Central today.

Here you go Ken, over one hour of a link that works http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/b/472793667 (http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/b/472793667)
I played some Mappy, Mario Bros, and New Rally X. Got a new high score in all of these. I suck! :P
-
Ok, just to verify where we are at, I've added who has contributed and how much to the first post.
Let me know if this doesn't look right to anyone.
Also, I should be getting more DKF t-shirts made next week to give away at the KO3. All contributors get dibs. :)
-

Edit: Received Jeff Wolfe's also.
-
<Off Topic> Jeff, I'm not going to the KO3, but I REALLY want a DKF shirt! Can I buy one from you at some point? Will you make them available on site? Or are there copyright/trademark issues?
-

No plans to sell them, but if you make at least a $10 donation to the Staal fund I will send you one when they become available. ;)
-
If I stream an hour of Popeye will that be good for the 10 dollars? I really hate that game but anything for Allen.
-
Gonna stream Marble Madness in approx 1hr 20minutes
Mad props to everyone here, its really great to see this amount of love in the community.

For those getting ready to stream, note that per Ken's post above he changed the rules on his offer to a select list of games.
-
Ahh thanks George didnt see that. Will stream all 3 , then. :)
-
Ok, I got an hour of Dig Dug in with a high of only 406,920.....That sucked ass but all good if Allen gets $10 more.
Also put me down for $10 which I'll paypal you this Friday.
Thanks Ken!
Oh you can check it out here www.twitch.tv/Dk_madness (http://www.twitch.tv/Dk_madness)

I am confused here . Allen Told me last night he was going to the Kong Off?
-
I am confused here . Allen Told me last night he was going to the Kong Off?
Let me unconfuse you. Look at the total that has been raised for Allen. It's obvious that this thing is going to get funded.
-
ok I'm streaming an hour of dig dug starting now. C U at the kong allen :)
-
Got my teaching bonus. Jeff, I'll send $50 to your PayPal at the end of the month.
-
I really see how things are here ... GL At the kong off Everyone
-
How do you see things here, Brian?
-
I just see how things are .. I will leave it at that .. >:(
-
well I just came back from a hour of sucking balls at dig dug http://www.twitch.tv/acrjoey/b/472910817 (http://www.twitch.tv/acrjoey/b/472910817) so theres $10 for allen But I find some posts from brian allen about "seeing how things are here". Did I miss something? Is that a cryptic message about the vision in you eye still being messed up or something far more sinister hinted there brian? Anyway I can honestly say that will be the last time I stream dig dug ever. See you at the kong off allen.
-
How are thing? What is it that you really see? Maybe they are not really there. Maybe things are not what they appear to be, or how you interpret them.
-
Man I suck at those 3 games! Def for a good cause tho
Anyway Ill drop $10 as well.
Almost there!
Edit: Sent through
-
First of All What is going on with my Eye is not joking matter ..
There is a chance I could loose Vison in the one eye ..
There's a chance I might never Play a game again ..
I everyone knows I have tried to Raise money for my Kong off Ticket .. But for the life of me I couldn't get someone to spend 2.00
After the Ko2 I was offered a Free Plane Ticket to the KO3 ..
Then when it comes down to the event the person .. Person does not do anything on the matter ..well I just came back from a hour of sucking balls at dig dug http://www.twitch.tv/acrjoey/b/472910817 (http://www.twitch.tv/acrjoey/b/472910817) so theres $10 for allen But I find some posts from brian allen about "seeing how things are here".

-
You are right, Brian. The eye is not a joking matter. I hope all works out well for you in that regard.
Now, if you are upset that someone did not come through for you. That is understandable. And I can see how you may even be envious that people are willing to help pay for Allen's plane ticket.
-
Glad to have you coming, Allen! Congrats on having so many people care for you so as to do this for you. I played my best game of Mappy and New Rally X just for you. :D
-
hay Allen your going :) i know if someone (thanks Jeff) set somthing up like this a $1000 is not problom there lots people who love you, you have that fighting sprit and blind determnation loves and respects you for, have fun Mate
-
So how you want to handle this? Paypal to jeff or I can send a money order as well :)
Wait until Friday and I'll pay since i get paid.
BA I believe people could have helped out as well but no one knew that is what you were trying to do or what you were short. People here are pretty generous as a whole. It would be cool to meet and have a brew at the KO3 if you can make it. Tickets really are dirt cheap now!
