Donut's Firesale Giveaway
So I finally regained access to my orgs and realised there is very little chance of me burning through all the Q5 weaps I have before orgs disappear. As a result I have decided to give bundles away as follows:
To be given away to Irish citizens:
5 x Q5 - First Place Winner
4 x Q5 - Second Place Winner
3 x Q5 - Third Place Winner
To be given away to non-Irish citizens:
3 x Q5 - First Place Winner
2 x Q5 - Second Place Winner
1 x Q5 - Third Place Winner
For a total of EIGHTEEN Q5 weapons given away. That should go a fair way to making a dent in my orgs lol.
In order to be in with a chance of winning them you do not need to make a donation to me or anything like that. You must simply comment on this article with one of the following:
1) A joke. Just to make it really challenging the joke should be clean, and not insulting to any particular race/gender/etc. The joke doesn't have to be funny.
2) A pat-on-the-back to a fellow eRep citizen, particularly if that someone is a person you feel doesn't get the kudos they deserve. Just a brief comment containing who you think deserves some praise and why is enough.
Or:
3) Be nominated by someone else, who should give a brief reason as to why you deserve a prize. The person who nominates you will become ineligible for a prize themselves, so this is probably the hardest to do. They should also clarify that it's a nomination, and not their entry for #2, above.
This is mostly because I get tired of seeing in-fighting and nonsense, and would like to see some positivity once in a while. Winners will be randomly selected from all entrants, and each qualifying comment counts as one entry (though once you have won a prize you cannot win another).
I'll do the draw in about forty-eight hours and announce the winners here, so you can subscribe if you don't want to miss the results. I may have more to give away before/around New Year time, depends on how much fighting I get in lol.
Still taking inventory,
Donut
P.S - Unrelated note. Has any other more experience player/soldier had a PM recently asking if they'd donate/sell their account to someone if they ever left the game? I got one not that long ago, and I'm sure I saw someone on IRC mention they'd had the same. Is this some new scam or what? lol.
Comments
Scratch the first one: eRepublic
Em praise, Moonbeam and Luminara, they have both helped me so much on my website with a banner which was causing me a lot of problems and they were happy to help.
Not forgetting, CT, Spiff, Dubh and Stark for basically same reason as above.
I haven't had anyone asking me for my account or haven't heard of anyone else being asked, where were they from?
Kudos to Kolshire. As if he doesn't get enough respect, he is always quiet and handles his many Erep related responsibilities with an ever increasing humble and shameless degree of optimism for our eCountry
1- A kitteh, a goggie and a hooman walk into a pub. Teh bartender looks up, sees teh trio and says, "Hey, you know the leash laws..."
Teh kitteh sais "O right!" and puts leash on da goggie and hooman.
2a- Boris Tomic: a cool head during many chaotic times
2b - e-kane: a champion for civility in the Dáil

I would like to thank Stilpo, Yddub Emwolb, Noggin the nog, Ernest Bogdansson, and all other who helped Belgium in their hopeless fight against Poland
Unrelated note:
Yes, Donut. Actually I bought Yddub Emwolb's account awhile back.
signed Ronald O'Reagan
I'll nominate Einberliner for all her help during my PTO attempt.
Ronald O'Reagan
😉
yddub - 😛
I have no idea whether she's still alive in this game, but I'd like to call out 😎ayan for a round of applause. She said Hello to me on Christmas Day, even though I haven't spoken to her in months.
She is a truly wonderful soul, with a moral compass and a kind heart, Ireland should miss her steadfastness.
edis_b requested a similar thing from me. Something about buying the account if I ever decide to stop playin.
edis_b wrote to me too.
A joke?
Why does everyone think my dads are gay?
@Sean Power and James K. - I'm pretty sure that's who I heard from too, actually. I'd have to double check.
gimme guns
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

I'd also like to give kudos to Dan Murchadh who, after quite an absence, has got stuck in like never before AND is one of the most active and gentlemanly peeps in my time zone! welcome back Dan the Man.
The one constant among all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
1. Hmm, joke, let's see now...
I've just renamed my WiFi network to "Police Surveillance Van #02".
That should keep my neighbours on their toes for a while.
2. Pat on the back.....
E-kane
What you call a bee which makes milk? A boobee! : D
Pat on the back to Kavrocks; Hes criticises alot, not always explaining why but we'd be alot worse off if he wasn't around - Hes cool.
I got a PM from edis_b too. I sent back asking why they wanted it and never got a response.
And I would like to give kudos to donut who is making this giveaway possible and for my great erep christmas present! There are loads of others who have helped me out along the way and continue to help me out(some no longer playing). I dont want to pick just one or two, so I am going to tell a joke!
A warthog hits this lady and the husband calls 911.
The operator asks, "Where are you at"?
The husband replies, "I'm on Eucolipstic Road."
The operator asks, "Can you spell that for me?"
"Well... I'll just drag her over to Oak so you can you pick her up there?"
"edis_b wrote to me too."
I'm pretty sure it was him who wrote to me to. I think I told him I was going to report him.
Boris Tomic deserves a pat on the back for all the hard work he did supplying people during moo's term in our struggle against UK occupation.
graine ni malimh (sorry could never spell it )
for the good times and the fact that shes a tounge like a whip but a heart of gold 🙂
I'm not going to get any guns...
I was born to be a pessimist. My blood type is B Negative.
give me for free
Yddub deserves them, i'm pretty sure he has singlehandly funded 100's of Irish battle heros 😛
21's- all of them.
For more reasons than I could ever type.
Pure e-gold.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep,like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
don't know what kudos mean, but if it's respect, then certainly i will give it to the our legen..... work, train, get reward, fight some battles when you wait for it..... dary Kolshire.
Here's a pun for you donut 🙂
1) "One of my friends has to get to know himself better. But he's a Freud of psychoanalysis."
I'd nominate Yddub for his great war efforts, he'd use them well!
Luminara and graine
Joke: An Irishman walks out of a bar...
Where do you find a one legged dog?
Where you left it.
I say give the weapons to James Keiller. Great, well placed fighting in the early rounds with eUK and would have been there for the RW's but was TD and couldn't attend. Also he's doing a brilliant job as MoC, though he'll probably give any guns he's awarded away in some form of contest.
But definitely don't give James anything for that tired, old joke he posted.
🙂
