Donations and Gifts

[Nazgul]

Ok kids, here's the deal. RPA is free to play, and we want to always always always keep it that way. But the fact is that it costs money to keep this place up and running. Hosting fees, forum software, etc etc etc. And while the admins will give anything to keep this place as fantastic as it can be, there are limits to what we can buy.

SO! We've decided to start accepting donations! Wait wait wait. This isn't just a "hand over your money" thing.

Well, you could do that if you're just nice and want to make a donation. Any amount is fine and very much appreciated and will go a long way to help our forum!

But this is also a "pay a little bit and get something awesome in return" thing.

Yes, I said it. You get something so super awesome. It's our way of saying thanks for being here and for supporting our site.

Are you ready for what it is that you get? Are you sure?

fun. free. awesome.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, direct form the boutiques of Paris, London and Milwaukee... It's the first ever RPA Tee Shirt! This was designed by the mods and admins and it will look SO GOOD on your hot body! Look cool! Impress your friends. Be the envy of everyone around you as you strut your stuff in RPA's stylish apparel.

"OMG!" I hear you say. "I must have that! How much do they cost?" Well, they cost nothing. They are our gift to you!

With a donation of only $25 or more, you can have one of these sweet shirts of your very own. We won't even charge shipping within the US(Shipping charges may apply if outside the US. See details below)

AND AND AND you will also get a free RPA Supporter trophy for your profile. RAD.

Fabric and sizing and all the gritty details below:

We carry sizes medium through 2XL. They run just a smidge on the small side. They are a classy heather grey, made of 50% cotton, 50% polyester so they won't shrink much, if any. They're nice and thick, quality stuff, and seem pretty durable.

We carry sizes small through XL. They are on a dark, smooth, charcoal grey, and made of 92% cotton, 8% spandex. They're form fitting and comfy stretchy, with a modest but cute design. They run fairly true to size, maybe a bit on the small size. They shouldn't shrink much at all.

***Also! The XL's and one large are a v-neck instead of the pictured scoop! Everything else is the same, and the v is not a crazy plunging v. In fact, I'd say it's right about the same distance down as the scoop. If you are ordering a gals large and prefer a v-neck or a scoop, please say so in your order!

Donations can be made via PayPal, money order, cashier's check, Western Union, or personal check. Note: Money order, cashier checks and personal check donations won't ship until receipt of said donation method. Personal check donations will ship once the check has cleared. If using any of these methods to donate, please contact Anne Bonny and your gift will be reserved for 14 days. If the donation has not been received in this time, the gift will then become available again to the general public.

Shipping charges may apply for addresses outside the US. Otherwise, shipping within the US of A is free, and that includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam! If you are an international donator, your total donation needs to go up a smidge to cover higher shipping costs. Please up the total donation amount to $35!

So how do you get one? PM Anne Bonny! She needs to know your desired size. She'll give you the address to send your payment, or the Western Union info, or the Paypal info, whichever you prefer. And tell her where you want that sucker shipped to!

NOTE: If you use the donate button on the front page for an amount equal to or above the amount you need to get a shirt, you must pm Anne Bonny in order to get it! We need to work out shipping info and sizes and all that fun stuff.

Now, we only have a limited quantity to start out, so donations will be done on a first come first serve basis!

Coming in the future... more RPA swag as gifts for different donation amounts!
T-Shirt (and other merch) design contests!
Photo contests of people with RPA swag in awesome places!
The possibilities are endless!

*The tee shirt is our way of saying thank you for the donation. Making a donation does not grant you any special privileges on RPA and in no way entitles you to have any say in how the site is run. All shirts are shipped as is and there will be no refunds. All monies received go towards upkeep of the site and not into anyone's pockets. Questions , comments and concerns can be addressed to anne@role-player.net, pm'ed to Anne Bonny directly, or may be posted in this thread. Please do not post any personal information in this thread. This includes, but is not limited to,credit card numbers, addresses, email addresses, real names.

This is so magical *____________*. I must save up!!!!

[Lúthien]

Too bad I don't have a job! :aweme:

[Mary Sue]

Lovely. Just lovely.

[Evil Troy]

I hope you're saying one of those mens large for me. XD

[Aesa]

Augh, totally asking for this for Ramadan. *yuppers*
And helping out my most favorite site ever at the same time! 2-in-1, what a deal! -hurr-

[V]

I think I may have monies on my Paypal .... but I'm terrible with sizes so I'll work that out first XD

[Ru]

I don't really have spare money atm o______________o and I don't like wearing ads D: but the other shirt doesn't describe a Ru, so I cannot D;

;D Come up with more shirt ideas C: then Ru might be tempted to go work her ass off, get money, and waste it XD

[Mary Sue]

If you don't like our shirt as it is, join a T-shirt design contest when we have them! It's the opportunity to make the shirt you want. :)

[Koti~]

if only I wasn't broke T_T

[Auki]

Gah, no XS? Maybe next time ;_____;

[Ru]

Tiny, tiny Auki.

I will totally join a T-shirt design contest, whenever it goes down O;

[Auki]

T-shirt design competition would be epic.

[Ru]

Yes, it totally would be! For sure C:

[Anne Bonny]

Gah, no XS? Maybe next time ;_____;

Well... they run a little small, so we didn't get any. :( I'm sorry honey!

[Cheveyo]

I am definitely going to get one of these. Love it! <3

And Auki, you could get it as a bedtime/home shirt? I know I do that with some of my shirts I have ordered that came in way too big.

[Mary Sue]

I think that if Auki got a small shirt, she would be okay. I have a friend who wears all XS shirts and she borrowed one of my small ones once and looked fine. :)

[Ru]

They could also shrink in the wash C:

[Ceres.]

Shipping charges to hawaii are absurd. ):

[Nazgul]

I've done a little looking around, and have learned that the method we are using also includes Alaska and Hawaii. Sorry, I'm not from the US. I didn't know.

Edit. I am just doing a double check on this to be 100% sure. But it looks like the shipping would be included.

[Ceres.]

If it just says 'continental US' that won't include Hawaii and Alaska, because we aren't connected to the mainland. It'll have to explicitly say whether or not Alaska/Hawaii/Puerto Rico also have free shipping or not.

[Merry Gentry]

Shipping to Hawaii is covered under our current plan - We wouldn't dream of leaving out the lovely Ceres in our master plan to clothe the world in RPA gear ;)

Given the material they are made of - they probably won't shrink much, if at all, sorry to say Auki :hugg:

[Auki]

It's fine; just means there's more shirts for everyone else - Do you think you'll be supplying XS next time round?

[Merry Gentry]

If only for you Auki - Yes we will!

[Anne Bonny]

If it just says 'continental US' that won't include Hawaii and Alaska, because we aren't connected to the mainland. It'll have to explicitly say whether or not Alaska/Hawaii/Puerto Rico also have free shipping or not.

Yup, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico are included in the free shipping!

[Nazgul]

Yup, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico are included in the free shipping!

Apparently Guam is too.

[Anne Bonny]

Oh! Yup, I forgot Guam. Thanks Naz!

[Mysteria]

Got mine today, Love it! So soft, but for anyone worried that they will be too big, just an fyi I can verify what Anne said, they do run on the small side.

[Anne Bonny]

Taking shipping another one out of the warehouse today! :)

I wore my shirt to dinner last night. It was pretty awesome. I looked super hot!

[lovebug]

I like the shirts, a lot. Need some cash, then I'm getting one.

[Merry Gentry]

I might need another one... one of my friends liked mine so much, she stole it! :XD:

yeah... I'll be ordering another Anne, cause I need my RPA shirt back!

[Kaiosuke]

Expect a donation on thursday.

[Anne Bonny]

Awesome! You will be so stylish. :)

[Merry Gentry]

[Ásvaldr]

*looks* Aww! So unfair.

Shipping to Australia will be astronomical, I can bet, and my parents don't like RPA already, so wearing a RPA advert would send them over the edge ... So horrible that I miss out! D:

[Anne Bonny]

Shipping to Australia makes the total cost of your donation $33.95. So really, it's not that much more.

Of course, I would never suggest you irk your parents. But how can anyone not like RPA? :'( I didn't think that was possible!

[Ásvaldr]

No idea, disliking RPA is like ... like ... like being allergic to oxygen!

[Cthulhu]

I'm getting a decent paycheck this week, might see something from me.

Though you can keep the shirt, I do it for RPA

That and because Anne is so pretty

*end brown nosing*

[Anne Bonny]

Oh Mosaic! You are kind and hansome and the ladies love you.

<3

Also, people who make donations now get the orange ribbon award to show off. Yay!

[Lúthien]

Funny story. My parents "yelled" at me for not donating to RPA.

"But that site is your life!" My mom says.

"You have so many friends on that site! The least thing you can do is donate something!" My father says.


So the day I have a job and a paycheck, you shall see something from me. XD

[Anne Bonny]

Aw Luthien! I don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate, you know. XD

[Lúthien]

Haha! No way! My parents are good at making me feel bad ~rofl~

Jokes aside, they do make a valid point! I have been part of this community for so long. Despite past issues, I really feel like this is my little home on the net and with that, I want to donate something. ^_^


Not right now though. I only have 58cents to my name *stare*

[SQJPure]

Aw Luthien! I don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate, you know. XD

I personally feel bad about donating.
I rely on this site for so much.
It gives me so fucking much.
If you had any idea how ecstatic I was for scoring member of the month......you'd totally bitch slap me and demand the month. My bank doesn't allow net banking right now(new bank, long story) But expect me to totally do something. there no other shirt styles you guys have come up with? Even if it's based on drawings from the Prac thread? Doesn't matter I'll eventually make a plan. I owe you guys that much XD

[Nazgul]

Okay, I just wanna say, that we don't want anyone to feel obligated to donate. You say we have given you a lot. Well you have given us just as much by being committed members to the site. The money doesn't matter in the end. The site dies without the members to support us through posting. So for anyone who thinks that they don't give us enough, every time you post, you give us more than we could ever hope for. And it's because of all the members that the site is as great as it is.

[Aesa]

D'aaaaaaaaawww. http://i51.tinypic.com/mr8ch2.jpg Would rep if I could, Naz, that was awesome and nicely-spoken.


And it's because of all the members AND AMAZING STAFF that the site is as great as it is.

[V]

Repped for you Alice :)

[stevezilla]

I would donate if I could, but I can't, can I have $25 from you guys and then donate it?

[Deadmind]

But that wouldn't be donating at all,that would be just paying back what you owe.
With interest!

[Anne Bonny]

Heads up! Only 1 men's medium is up from grabs in the warehouse!

[Merry Gentry]

[Jacogos]

So what's the 411 on these shirts now?

[V]

You should send a PM to Anne, Jacogos, if you're looking to see about one. She posted several posts ago with the remaining amount available.

[Jacogos]

True, but it was a while ago and now they're advertising them again, so I was curious if there was a new shipment or something:D

[Anne Bonny]

We still have several available, Jaco! Shoot me a pm if you're interested or have questions!

Congrats to ~N~ and Aheris for being the most recent owners of the hottest new fashion trend. :) Your shirts will ship out tomorrow!

[Anne Bonny]

Congrats to Kris for reserving this season's must-have fashion item! Your shirt will ship out tomorrow!

You know we're going to want Kris-tures with you wearing it. :D

[AlikaKamashi]

How much do you have to donate in order to get a shirt? And do they come in v-neck or scoop necks for girls?

I am asking because I have several rixty gift cards...I am not sure if I can use those to donate or not.

[Anne Bonny]

The gals are all scoop neck, except for one v neck in the large size. For donations in the US, you get a shirt if you give $25 (or more!) and for donations outside the US, you get a shirt if you give $35 (or more!) because it costs more to ship. :)

I don't really know what rixty gift cards are. Can you use them with PayPal?

[Anne Bonny]

http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr348/annebonny10/rpa/photo.jpg

Packed up and ready to go! This one's on it's way to Jacogos! Hurray!

We're quickly running out of men's shirts. If you want one, gentleman, better get on it!

[Kris]

How many left so far? (Both male and female sizes)

(I adore mine <3)

[Miss Devil]

Save me the large. I am totally donating Saturday. I get a semi large pay check :D

[Anne Bonny]

I'll put it on reserve for you! :D

Edit:
Do you want the scoop neck or the v-neck?

[Mary Sue]

These shirts are totally awesome guys, if you're on the fence!

They're SOOOO soft, fit nicely, and aren't made out of super heavy materials! So they're perfect for summer. ;)

[Merry Gentry]

I have 2! and I love them :)

[The Silver Crow]

My size is sadly dispersed. But I think I will wait actually till if there is a t-shirt competition and get that t-shirt.


"Actually till if" is very odd to put in a sentence.

[TheTeeJaii]

I wish I wasn't a Broke Seventeen year old In the UK D=

[Anne Bonny]

We appreciate what you do with what you can, TeeJaii. :)

[Wintersend]

I'll donate sometime, when i can afford it. But, im 17 and in highschool still. There are a lot of fees to pay. Sorry :/
Also, i think RPA wristbands would be really cool. :D

[G]

Still got girls small? And can I do it via. online banking?

*is paranoid about money stuff online outside my banks website

[Anne Bonny]

Yes, we DO still have a ladies small!

Online banking... If your bank offers a billpay service I believe we can do it through there.

I'll pm you!

[Anne Bonny]

Hey kids! If you use the donate button on our homepage, please remember to pm me and let me know!

I saw we received a donation a few days ago, but I have no idea who it was from. Thank you, mysterious donor! If you would like a ribbon, please pm me!

[Saint]

Is there any way to donate directly with a Debit Card? I've tried to set up my paypal but for some reason my Walmart Money Card is not an acceptable method of money transferal into my account. Unfortunately for me, that is the only method of payment I have at this time.

[Anne Bonny]

Hmmm... I'm not sure about that kind of card, Saint. If its easier, you can always do a money order and mail it to us. That's the only thing I can think of at the moment. But I'll look into it!

Does your debit card have the Visa or MasterCard logo by chance?

[Saint]

It has a Visa logo on the bottom right hand side.

[Breken]

Are there still shirts available?

[Anne Bonny]

It has a Visa logo on the bottom right hand side.

Huh. Yeah, I have zero idea why that wouldn't work. I'll continue to do some research for you, Saint!

Yes, Breken! There are still shirts!

[Fayt]

Do we still get the cool ribbon if it's less than $25? XD

I'm not referring to a donation of 50 cents or something. I just want to donate now, rather than tomorrow, when I actually get paid.

"OMG Fayt why don't you save your money?"

Because I'm paying for university.

So yeah, about the ribbon...

[Merry Gentry]

I think we can work something out! ;)

Thank you in advance! -Persy-

[Anne Bonny]

Hey guys! Check out Fayt's fancy new ribbon. :)

[G]

Totally just got myself an RPA t-shirt for my birthday <3

[Anne Bonny]

G, you're so awesome! It's being sent today. :)

[G]

Got it!! It's even more awesome than I anticipated !!! :D

[Anne Bonny]

HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
