Hello All,
Each year, a tragic thing happens. Hundreds of unfortunate gamers cannot make it to PAX. These poor souls miss out on a fantastic opportunity to connect with their friends from dtoid.
Last year, poor Kauza couldn't make it to PAX West, but one brave man stepped up and did the impossible - he printed out a cardboard cut out of Kauza's avatar so that, at least, Kauza could be there in spirit.
If you are reading this and have read the above link and are not moved in the slightest, you are either the most bad-ass man alive or you're just a d-bag.
This year, don't let this happen again, hundreds of unfortunate gamers will miss out unless you help. We here at Dtoid Vision are calling on all users who are able and willing. With nothing but the cost of paper you can give this timeless gift to a fellow user.
Instructions:
For everybody who wants to be a part of this, please PM me, stating whether or not you would like to ADOPT or be an ADOPT-EE. If you guys want to pair up on your own then the Adopter should PM me saying who he's adopting.
All you have to do is print that persons Avatar out and take pictures of it during your adventures. When you return from PAX you must then post a cblog with a collection of those pictures, probably with some kind of story that connects all the pictures, or something else maybe? Whatever you think is the best use of your pictures!
If anybody else wants to help out in organizing all this please feel free to PM me as well.
With your help, this can be the best PAX that others have never went to.
UPDATE: see
here to see who's been adopted and who's waiting to be adopted.
Let's get this party started right. I'll adopt Elsa's.
Alas, I want to meet Liz Enthusiasm!
Please? I make good sandwiches....
Por favor? I speak Spanish...kinda.
... and I'll adopt Kauza for PAX west! :)
This is an awesome idea!! I want to go to PAX East but I know I won't be able to go. Even the holy pilgrimage to PAX West is probably something I'll never do T_T
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go adopt a fap. Well done.
