Call to Arms: Charity 2016 ($33364 raised.)

[starflakeprj]

Seriously people, include the number on which you make a bid if there are several of the same! Is that too hard?
Let me show you how you should do it:
Premier Collection #2: $40
Corona license #5: $5
@Luftrum, consider the bids above legit.

In the case of multiple licenses of the same product being offered, it does not matter, the 'lowest bid' is always knocked out first.

But it would be much easier for both the bidders (who don't have to go through several all bids that are not updated), AND also for Luftrum to collect the bids. So no, I don't agree with you.

Whether you agree or not is immaterial. That's how Luftrum has said he wanted it in years past. Lowest bid gets knocked out.

This also helps avoid a situation where specific bidders could get targeted by others, on the off chance that could happen. And it could still happen, obviously, but this setup makes it a bit harder.

Ok, fair enough, a good point. I haven't been involved in the Call to Arms in the past, I wast just thinking logically to make the bidding more simple

Understood, and excuse any appearance I may have given as to being enthusiastic about enforcing rules, or having any authority to do so.

For what it's worth, in the past another wrinkle to the way bids are processed is that if there are two identical bids for identical items, the bid at the top is knocked off first by the next higher bid that comes along. It may depend slightly on which order Luftrum processes the new bids in, but he does a pretty good job of untangling everything, by and large!

And, in keeping with my own personal rule not to post on this thread without a bid:

Synth Magic Bundle 2: $25

Peace and love, everyone, it's all in a good cause!

discoDSP Corona $20

[smueske]

Twisted Tools Totally Twisted $56

Commendable... and even inspiring.
So I'll offset my previous posts a little with these:

* CORE02 - Flavors. $9.00
* CORE04 - Caractère. $9.00

I'm assuming we should ignore the fact that people are paying close to retail for NFR licenses to pay some "charity" where the CEO makes $344,887 (https://www.savethechildren.net/statement-ceo-pay) and they have over 20 employees at the top making over $100,000 a year. You could do more good getting involved in your local community. I personally am not going to help pay for someone's yacht. Good luck guys.

Interesting!
Personally, I'll have good read about it now. IMO employees of the charities should be paid by governments (or volunteers). It's not a business!

Anyway, let's be sure as this money are the hard earning of the developers and us the bidders.

Although ideally it should be done by volunteers, but it is IMO a very trusty organization. I did read the links below, and they convinced me to continue trusting and do all I can for this cause:
