1 Gold: The Cost of Freedom?
James Skyrider
As a lot of you know, SEAL Team 6 (ST6) has done great work since its inception under the leadership of Josh Frost. ST6 is a group of dedicated players who are committed to a single task...undermining PEACE and returning occupied regions back to their original owners.The latest victory that ST6 took part in was the freeing of the high grain region of Northern India, India from the greedy grasp of the Iranians and PEACE. I assure you that this is only the latest victory...and not the last.
It must be said that these operations are not free. In fact, they are far from it! All ST6 members provide their own moving tickets, which at the very least is 4 tickets per person, per mission when we travel overseas to a hostile country. The ST6 Org provides weapons for all the members, which costs at the very least, 1 gold per member if we fight 10 times each and even more if we fight 15 times each. So, that's at the very least 140-145 gold just in weapons fighting 10 times each. Then of course there is the cost to start the RW in the first place, which varies from region to region. As an example, our last mission cost 75 gold just to start the RW. So if we add up all the BASIC costs for the last mission using the lowest estimates: Tickets-85 gold + Weapons-140 gold + RW-75 gold = 300 gold. And that's not including gifts or tanking costs, and believe me...there was tanking!
ST6 gets absolutely NO government funding. In fact, most of the funding comes from the pocket of Josh Frost himself, and of course the cost to each individual member as I stated above. We have taken some steps to help fund ourselves. One of which is a Q1 house raffle. Here's a link to an article for more info on that. It ends Sunday night, so there is still time to get in on it:

What I am asking for here in this article is for those that support our mission to donate 1 Gold to our cause. 1 Gold is not much by itself but with a lot of citizens donating, it will add up quick. I know that the majority of the people in the world, here and in RL, support freedom, independence, and liberty for all oppressed people and nations. In this case, PEACE is the tyrannical oppressor and our goal is simply to put them in their place and give countries back their original regions. At the same time, we are weakening PEACE as a whole by doing so. So please help out. It will be greatly appreciated by us and by those who are the benefactors of our actions. Thanks for reading and please donate 1 Gold here:

We're much higher than that Ingo.
Strength 5 is the minimum for entry to ST6. Average would be higher.
Right, the minimum is 5, would take some math and time to calculate the average.
go seal team6
yeah, id guess average to be 6-8ish, maybe 9... im one of the lowest strengths 🙁 oh well, gotta start somewhere, eh?
rabble! rabble! rabble!
GLaDOS, USA citizens do not sell themselves, thats why they are seals even if they have to pay cost y themselves. Of course, I don't expect you to understand what I'm talking about 🙂
Find the cost of freedom / buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you / lay your body down
dont care about democracy - but i dont like PEACE so you have my vote 🙂

If Gladbag feels the need to comment on your articles, you *must* be doing something right. Stick it to them, ST6.
Gladdy, why is there a British military when you're ineffectual lolol
Just want to thank everyone for their support and their donations 😃
Hello
I have suggested higher for all
That person $ 5 to me later I'll draw and First 2 Gold
Find this easier??
Hmmm...just thinking out loud here. If your average is around Str 5, isn't this whole operation pretty much a waste of time and money? Seems like this group should just be absorbed into the army...
1 gold from each citizen equals 20k gold!
Donated.
I don't have gold yet but will save for this great cause! Keep it up!
Voted and subscribed!
Donated
GO SEAL TEAM6
Do we have an Army?
I can't send gold but I have an extra 10 dollars!
Top of the list, James! Great job. Now I've just got to earn some more gold...
Freedoooommmmm!!!!
I just wanted to say thanks again to all who have donated so far and to those that will donate after I write this. Your generosity is much appreciated and not a single gold will be wasted. It is truly humbling to see all the support you all have shown us. You will see the results of your generosity soon enough. And just to clear up something real quick, I saw some comments above talking about our average strength possibly being 5. I assure you that this is not the case. It is higher than that. But it wouldn't be a very smart strategic move to post exactly what our average strength is. I'm sure most would agree with that. Let's just say that ST6 = WIN! Thanks again to all of you. o7
