If YOU actually cared about japan, you would donate directly to somewhere like red cross and then stop bitching.

its not a matter of caring.
its a matter that I am priority #1

If YOU knew anything about me, you would know I just put together a concert representing a 501(3)(c) and raised $24,300 for Japan.


S2 is in this to make money. It is their plan to use this "donation" phase to get people to purchase coins.
Sure, S2 isn't a big company, and perhaps they aren't making much of a profit, but I still think 10% is a bullshit number, considering that goblin coins don't cost anything to S2 (they are technically making a 100% profit from coins).
It's not 100% of their income, nor is it for an entire year.
$24,300 is more than 100% of a weekly income of anyone here.

Sure, at least S2 is donating unlike most other people, and they probably spend a good amount of their revenue on hosting/sever costs.
Perhaps S2 is doing this in all honesty, and not for marketing purposes. If it's true that 10% is all they can afford to donate, then I take my words back, but I find that near impossible to believe on a market of virtual currency.

think of it as incentive to keep the game running....

If they need money to keep the game running then they should mention it, and not use Japan as a tool.

Who gives a shit about Japan? Why are you judging S2? At least that money is not going towards Marc Deforest's shitty wardrobe or half assed business propositions.

Why don't you give your money to developing countries where your dollar will go a lot further? Why are you such a weeaboo?

For fucks sake Japan is ranked #11 in the HDI

Why don't I judge you for squandering your money? Zimbabwe needs love too.

What is your problem?

Why complain S2?

There are a bunch of organizations, companies that don't give a fuck to Japan

send me money, ill forward it to my sister, she lives in Malawi, Africa as a peace core volunteer. 7th poorest country on earth, #1 aids infection %.

current project is putting in a water pipe line from a water resavor that will supply roughly 13,000 people with water....that's a big improvement in quality of life.

not complaining, just disappointed that they are using Japan to earn revenue.



I may be able to help you with this. Does her project have any affiliation with U.S. organizations/nonprofit groups?

The pease core is a us government entinty. Collage kids volunteer for 2 or 3 years working in some random country

My sister is payed 125$ per month to pay for food, live and do as much good for the local villagers as she can do. It's open ended the government dumps you out of a van and your expected to figure out how best to help the people of your area. The men of my sisters area all work in tea fields makeing 1$ per day for there intire family to live off.
