WHPR Arm America Fund(raiser) (reprinted and revised)
James S. Brady Press Room
This article is being reprinted. There are several reasons why. It seems that there are those which oppose any effort to help Arm America. Apparently, people who claim to be fighting the same enemies for the most part, cannot find it within themselves to keep their opinions in check. The comments section below, intended for participation in the fund raiser, have been used further the cause of those who disagree with what Arm America stands for. Hopefully, you all got it out of your system and are ready to stay on topic. If you wish to continue the debate, the other article is open for your comments or go at it in the forums. I thank all those who did express their support.
We also have the issue of someone deleting all the sheets twice which record the purchases you all have made so far. Not to worry, all has been restored. I am not so dumb as to not have a backup plan for such an event. The spreadsheets are no longer public edit. Unfortunately, this makes the selection process more difficult. I will have to rely on your comments below to update the sheet myself. If there is any conflict of picks or major confusion, there are other sheets where your picks can be placed. I have edited the instructions below to reflect these changes.
The WHPR is proud to present its next round of Fundraisers.
This time, the beneficiary will be Arm America.
Arm America is the discretionary Munitions Warehouse that is instrumental in turning the tide of critical battles by handing out Tanks and Food to any allied forces who will direct their damage appropriately.
Tonight, WHPR invites the eRep community to donate their money to Arm America by playing...
Our Fundraising expert Kara Beth has once again organized this affair. I am going to skip the "you can trust her" and refer you to this article where at the bottom I enumerate her trustworthiness.
So Kara Beth, take it away:

The way this works is pretty simple. There are 100 squares available for sheet. Each square represents a score for the home and away teams. The last number of the scores from each team at the end of each quarter will determine the winners. If you own a square that has home at 0 and away at 7, then you would win that quarter if the score is 10 (home) to 27 (away). The grey area on the sheet represents where the numbers will be placed once the entire sheet is sold. These numbers will be placed at random for both teams. Then, the completed sheet will be assigned to one of the next available NFL games and labeled accordingly.
There is a gdoc spreadsheet where you may choose your squares. Just go there and see what squares are available and post your picks in the comments below. The sheet will be updated to reflect your choice(s) asap. Check the comments for any possible conflicts with your choice in case the sheet is not current.
Instructions
1. Find available boxes by checking the spreadsheet. Then post your picks in the comments below by stating the letter/number of the square(s) you want. Make sure you mention what sheet you picked from.
i.e. "I bought squares G7 and E3 from sheet 1 and square G5 from sheet 2"
2. Go to the spreadsheet and record your picks by putting your ingame name in the box(es) you chose.
3. Donate 200 USD for each box to Kara Beth.
4.. If a sheet sells out, move on to the next available sheet.
Prizes
1st quarter: 1000 USD
2nd quarter: 1500 USD
3rd quarter: 2500 USD
4th quarter: 5000 USD
OT: 2000 USD

alfagrem, u mad? 😃D
Last time there was a 'grab-a-bag' promotion, bought quite a lot of them, and haven't seen myself on the list. No second chance, sry.
thank you for removing the notion that this is not a game of chance for potential monetary gain (rea😛 gambling) at all. and also for the famous points.
gimme a random box
C3, C4, J4 and J5 please.
@Stranger - Kara and I just figured out what happened.
You got the prizes in the bags you paid for. However, when I published the results, I mistakenly published the same list twice. Tomorrow I will add the correct "low roller" list results that should have been posted. If you look through the list I posted as the "low roller" results, it is actually the same list as the high-roller list just in a different order.
So just a publishing error. If you actually didn't receive your prize, let me know. I am told that everyone got their prizes.
@Rick von Ruger
I gave you A10 in sheet 1
I'll take G4 and G1.
Sorry I forgot to mention the sheet. Sheet 1 please.
nice spin, Gnilraps.
I do not "oppose any effort to help Arm America" or "disagree with what Arm America stands for." Never have, never will, and was quite clear about that.
but just keep stacking those soapboxes higher so your version of truth is heard far and wide.
@Custer
???? What am I missing here????
I'm lost.
"If you actually didn't receive your prize, let me know."
No, I received them - actually in spite of my prior notice to you to keep them. 😃 Anyway, passed them over to those in need myself.
sheet 1, D6
top paragraph, Kara Beth, in bold. my mistake was in attributing it to Gnilraps as the editor of this newspaper.
you chose to reopen this fundraiser with a misrepresentation of my (and others') objection to the purposeful action of "scrubbing" all government publications of any reference to the JCS/USMilitary.
I am surprised and disappointed to see that coming from you.
I supported the WHPR's fundraising for the DoI's Meals on Wheels, and will resume my support of this and other government publications when that embargo is lifted and the blatant twisting of truth is halted.
I have not, and will not, encourage others to withhold their support as I do. USMil personnel who participate in this program are not being censured in any way. My opinion is my own, but not being in lockstep with the established power is not respected as a freedom we all fight for.
the opening lines of this article are an opening salvo, deepening the divide and fueling the feud, which is reprehensible and irresponsible from the position of an official government publication.
Best of luck with this and future Arm America fundraisers. Arm America helps America, and this sort of fundraiser helps ease the tax burden on the citizens. I'm sure it will be a success without my support.
-3 cool points ^
Here's another opinion:
While I strongly object the current Socialist taxation system maintained by the government, I support this initiative as a possible future alternative to the current income centralization suffocating our economy. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the petty political rivalries behind - I have so far sponsored USAF projects as well as US Military ones. But this is the way to do it: make goals clear, and ask for contribution instead of demanding it.
However, I don't know sh*t about football, so please drop a line where direct donations could go.

I donated to the cause without playing the game.
