Desert Bus for hope

SennoSenno AustraliaRegistered User regular
https://desertbus.org/

It's not long now until the desert bus starts streaming. Will you be watching? Have you donated something? Are you hoping to win a prize? Will there be pins? Think that Mike and Jerry might show up? Thoughts?

    Will be watching, won't bid as I'm sure it'll go way past my price range but interested to see the pinny auctions.

    I remember someone (Beker possibly) mentioning that several of the PA Staff will be heading to the new Moon Base for DB4H. From memory, Robert, Jamie, Beker and Kristin will be in attendance.

    Desert Bus now operates out of the Lunar Module (as of last year). It no longer fits inside the Moonbase. This year will also be a different Lunar Module than DB8. Last year I crafted an item for auction, but wasn't able to this year. So I'll probably be donating some currency.

    There are lots of Pinny Pins we gave them. I suspect some will be sweeteners, raffles, auctions, etc. Keep your eyes open for them. And yes, Robert, Kristin, Jamie and I at least plan to be there at various points.

    Oh indeed! But $6.66 or whatever it will be is much cheaper than... $2k or whatever it would be normally. It would break the internet if they added it as a pig sweetener to something. One can dream.

    So, I only see the DLC as a give-away reward on the list, and no other mention of pin auctions or give-aways. Wasn't there mention of several pin related suprizes? What gives?!?

    When the giveaway starts, they will give an amount (something like $7.77 or $9.99). For every one of those amounts you donate exactly during the giveaway time (it's usually at least an hour), you get one entry. Make sure to donate exact amounts as that's how they see you want to enter the giveaway (example: Giveaway is for every $9.99 donation, you need to donate $19.98 for 2 entries and so on).

    when they mention it, theyll say the raffles are worth $X for the DLC, and you just donate that amount, or multiples of that amount for more chances.

    atleast thats how it worked last year

    They did not present me the challenge, but they get lots, might have been missed. I did dance for every dance party while I was on the couch.

    Far as pins, they have a box of pins set as pig sweeteners, which means they will add them to giveaways, auctions, challenges or anything at any time. You didn't need to sleep did you?
