I'm sure CCP will not start a PLEX drive... they'd make themselves too vulnerable every time someone dies and their friends come and ask for their own PLEX drive. Also there are political implications because a lot of people even in western countries hate the US and will not mourn an Air Force veteran killed in action. CCP will want to keep out of those tricky waters.
Personally I think I will donate to the fund... I have more RL cash than ISK anyway. . |

I think this is only going to work one way didn't realize my suggestion would end up snowballing into this. Mitts has to set up a Fund and also a trust to manage the fund (he is a commercial retired lawyer) we donate by paypal, trustees administer the donations and hopefully we all pull together to leave a legacy of such. He has paid the ultimate price for serving his country and I think the least we can do as a community is pull together and show our support in anyway we can.
Just My 2 cents but hopefully people can appreciate what I am suggesting and saying. Anyway I hope this idea will gather some momentum in the next few days and a plan is put in place to implement it. |

Others would be willing to donate, but I'm afraid some of us won't if Mittani is the one running it(I don't find him to be a trustworthy or mature enough individual). Would be better if it was an official thing run by CCP. |

Among a sea of people supporting the idea, a response like this makes you look like an ass. At least elaborate on why you are saying no...or is it just out of misguided ignorance? If you don't want to donate then don't. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to be involved.
If CCP sets something up I would also donate. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! |

Just think it would be a better turnout if handled by CCP. Otherwise people won't be willing to give just because it's run by Mittani/Goonswarm. Not saying he wouldn't run it properly...I would just hate to see people not give to such a cause because of that factor...and we both know it would stop some from giving. If it were run by CCP than that issue would be non existent. Not everyone knows they were good friends...they will just see who is running it and say no. Not trying to be disrespectful in any way, I'm just making a suggestion to see a better turnout. I will be donating either way. |

Only CCP can convert PLEX to $$$ MONEY. That's how the donations work. When you're giving away your PLEX to CCP for causes the people aren't getting free game time, they're getting $$$ that other players bought the PLEX with then they're giving it to those causes.
Only CCP can run a PLEX drive. Anyone else you see running a PLEX drive in the name of the death another player should probably be reported immediately.

I do not think they meant to imply that GS or Mittani were going to run a PLEX drive we all know only CCP has the legal PLEX - > $ Button. I think the reference was to the real money charity that is being organized by Somethingawful. |

THIS!
Fundraiser update
After some conversations with Sean's wife, we will be launching a fundraiser as soon as possible through YouCaring. It might take a few days. In the meantime, if you would like to contribute money directly to Sean's family immediately, you can Paypal [email protected]. If you do this, please label the funds as "Personal Gift."
You can make a difference! :)

Excellent if you could ask Mittani to link this to his website as well that would be great. Hopefully we can really pull together on this one ;) |

Money donations are being handled on the SA Forums by the mods and admins. Mittens has little to do with it. If we were to do something in game it would probably be handled by one of our finance directors. |

I'm pretty sure Goons could organize something if they really care about him - have alliance members and other interested parties donate to pay for the funeral or something similar - I've no idea what that costs in the US but would be a nice set goal to reach. I don't think CCP should to do it, in fact I'm pretty sure it would be more efficient if it wasn't organized by CCP.
And I believe even Goons wouldn't be such jerkasses as to steal the money - at least when it comes to one of their own.
EDIT: Apparently someone did have the good idea of setting up a fundraiser, just read the previous page. Sounds good.. |

I think it should be emphasized then if Mittani/GS were to REALLY scam you in real life for money (especially on something like this) they would be VERY legally responsible for their actions and get severely screwed. So, although I'm sure they're going to do the job as legitimately as possible for fund-raising real money, the reality is they're not going to scam you because they're real people with real lives that they don't want ruined.

I agree, and I intend to donate to this when it goes up. Just saying I thought that was what they were referring to |

It shouldn't matter what your religious views, political views or nationality is. This man was a cornerstone in our community. If he had been Chinese, Iranian, or Indian I wouldn't give a damn. I'd still have my wallet out both IRL and in game and be willing to give whatever I can spare. I will be donating when the SA donation is up and if CCP does a PLEX drive then I will empty my wallets of everything except for what I need to operate with. I made my billions once, I can do it again. |

So is everyone else in this thread. I feel for his friends and family, it was a senseless death.
However, considering the circumstances of his death , it seems highly likely that the US Goverment will be paying out quite a bit to his family.
And the reality is, if the Goons really are worried about this, convert some of those trillions of moongoo, and go for it....

I am for this.
Also look into selling his character to raise more isk. I would'nt have enough but im sure theres certain goons that would pay top isk for it. Including any isk in his wallet?
That may sound really disrespectful, its not meant to be, just a way of getting alot more isk put into the drive. |
