I'm keen to start this thread for people to gift things to others on the board. It could be really simple like say giving Weazzy or Euan a ride to/back from ranbats, or maybe offering to help someone get better at a game, or anything you feel like offering up for whoever needs/wants it. The idea is to just help each other out, so hopefully it doesn't get abused but if needed we could always maintain a list of who has received something and try to make sure the same people aren't always getting stuff but that honestly defeats the purpose anyway.
Of course the recipient is not obligated to return the favour, but if they are able to help someone else out it would be cool if it WASN'T the person they received their "gift" from. It's about spreading the love around, but not a gay/Birry Wong way.
If someone is needing/wanting something, maybe they can post their request here, people looking to give might find it helpful.
So i will get it started:
I am offering up my PS3 Round 2 TE stick that has been dual modded (by Lenny) with a paewang (sp?). It works totally fine and i will include the box i got it in etc. I don't need it as i have a 360 TE that i use and the dual mod one barely gets touched (i'd rather get a 2nd XBOX one for the mic etc anyway so...) The inside is a little messy cause i was lazy with fixing the dual mod PCB to the casing but i'm sure someone can tidy that up if they're inclined. If you're not in Auckland or can't get to ranbats etc to get it off me, i just ask you pay the shipping.
First in, first served. Post here and it's yours.
I hope others get in on this and starting helping each other out. :)
EDIT //
If i can edit this post indefinitely, i will keep a list of who has received what and what's on offer:
RECEIVED
Chuckk - TE Stick
Weazzy - First Blood Entry
ON OFFER
Chuckk - offering "PS2 CVS2, GGX2 #R, Dreamcast ALpha 3, and a 360 promo copy of DBZ Raging Blast"
redtie - offering an XT simcard
Alan - offering "First Blood tournament entry for the first person that replies who hasn't been to our events before"
julz - offering "the first DVD and box for Black Lagoon season 1, and the first DVD and box for Black Lagoon season 2. - no disk 2 and 3 for both seasons. "
Damn, that's a beefy start!
Heck, I'd that that stick Hook. Been looking for one.
I can't offer as much, but can offer PS2 CVS2, GGX2 #R, Dreamcast ALpha 3, and a 360 promo copy of DBZ Raging Blast.
Sweet as Chuckk, pay for the shipping to Wellington (i've got the right guy yeah?) and it's done. PM your address and i will get it away tomorrow or the next day. :)
Yeah that's me. Will PM now.
Wow that's really generous of you Hook, I wouldn't mind that stick for myself either lol but I don't think I have anything to offer for anyone so I really don't deserve it :-\
Just missed out bro!
But the idea isn't that you HAVE to give something back. Just for people to give IF THEY CAN. Hopefully people just randomly come in to offer stuff. And remember it doesn't have to be gaming related, or actual stuff. It can be helping people with transport or anything else.
A lot of people here are students, so financially they might not be as comfortable as some of us that work. But us working guys might not have the time we'd like to spend learning a game, so we can use others help there. Kind of a dud example but hopefully it makes sense. There may be some that can't really offer anything, and that's cool especially if we can help them. Which is the idea. I've definitely ask for lots of help (HAHA) so if i can help someone else that's awesome.
As to if people "deserve it", you make that call yourself. I mean Alan was the first person to post to this thread and obviously he felt he didn't need the stick and would leave it to someone else. So just by doing that he was paying it forward to someone also. :)
Shit. All the guys that have chauffeured me around must deserve a pretty hefty award!
Yeah I understand that but I'd feel stink of taking something and being unable to put up something to offer lol I'm not too sad about missing out on the stick since I'm more interested in a hrap3 and will purchase one sometime this year ;D. I'd like to get myself an VLX but that's too expensive >:( I've met Chuckk before and I know it'll be going to a nice home anyways. He's also given Chch a gift before too :)
Aww fuck shit balls cunt. I say this thread and was like wholly sheeit hurry up reply. Then by the time i opened it up it had heaps of cunts in iy. Ahhhhh. Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkk..
After all the time ii spend trolling this thread. That stick woulda been all worth it. I check it every 10 mins every fucking day and i misss out on this shit.
LOL. I'm not being salty anyway. I knew the rules lol. You a good dude Hook.
And yer, where my rides at hahaha.
For some reason i assumed you had a TE Weazzy?
I would offer up rides for this friday's ranbats but it's my GF's birthday that day so i'm not even sure if i will make it.
Hopefully someone jumps in and can offer rides for you/Euan or other peeps that need it. :)
Oh, i thought of something else i was gonna offer up..
I'm gonna add MvC3 to my registration for First Blood tonight, i'm offering up the pre-registered entry fee for 2 games ($30) to whoever replies first. (must be before 9pm tonight)

Me1 ME ME MEMEEEMMEEMM
EDIT: lol . Look how excited and in a hurry i was too reply. Wada desperate cunt haha. And i realised that not everyone has a TE actually lol. I was in my own world.
edit 2: haha looks like i want some pcp. But i meant pcb. And if anyone is offeren some pcp i'll take that aswell.
ME MEM EMEMEMEEMM MEMEMEM FOR THE ENTRY PLEASE
Lol, okay Weazzy, what games do you want to enter for?

LOL i nearly had a spasm on the fucking keyboard bro hahah.
SSF4 and Marvel please. You are awesome. I was thinking fuck i gotta pay the extra 5 per game cos i can't afford this week. This is the best gift ever. Feel like it's my birthday or something. Shot Hook bro. Your the man.
Sweet, i couldn't fit that in the reference message along with mine so i'll just PM them.
//Edit just wrote it in the registration thread instead
Awesome thread!
Anyway, I bought a brand new XT simcard which amazing doesn't work on my phone. Apparently comes with $10 credit and another $10 when you register it. Any takers?
Wow that was so cool of you, Hook.
Guttered I missed out on the TE. I've been looking for one, and I would have gifted my Hrap3 to anyone who needed it too. (One of the things stopping me from getting a TE is that I can't really afford it without selling Hrap first lol -_-)
i'd be able to get it sold for you if it was a xbox stick :p
Shot redtie.
julz ~ yeah i couldn't think of more fair thing to do with the TE rather than first in first served. I'm sure when the time is right you'll get your TE. "Be generous and it will come back to you" seems to really work.
First post updated.
Ok the only think I have that you guys maybe interested in is KOFXI for PS2. I don't play since I don't have a PS2 or anyone to play it with :D
Whoever wants it can have it. I just need to go around looking for it first since I haven't touched it in years lol

Am I the only one who prefers hraps over TEs? lol
Haha, I used to prefer the Hraps but then I got used to the slightly different feel of the TE and now I prefer it.
But really they both perform the same since it's sanwa sticks (and if you replace them like I did, sanwa buttons).
Hraps all the way. Gonna put some stuff up soon. Just need it all in one place lol.

That was brought to you by the letter F as in Fixed! ;D
I will sponsor entry to our First Blood tournament for the first person that replies who hasn't been to our events before.
Now we wait to see whether anyone who fits that criteria will actually see this.
Also, I assume that rambling off-topic discussion in a thread such as this is kinda poor form.
Shot Alan! First post updated. (i wont keep posting "first post updates" anymore.. hopefully people will check there first from now on)
Scoured my room for stuff that I don't need lol.
Anyone like anime? I have the first DVD and box for Black Lagoon season 1, and the first DVD and box for Black Lagoon season 2.
Don't ask me why I have the boxed sets, but no disk 2 and 3 for both seasons.
Preferably to a lover of anime who will eventually complete the boxed sets but whoever wants them can take em.
Anyone paying it forward to Chch?
Where to start..
Anyone here from ChCh lose anything in the quake?
I've sent a $100 donation to Christchurch, I got peeps there and I finished my internship there like 2 weeks ago. I still feel real down about this quake, so many people suffer for nothing.
I've never been to a NZISM tourney before and I've always wanted to go but never had the time. I'll still try to come, how does one pay for the pre-register?
Alan is offering to pay for someone's pre-registration as long as you haven't been to an NZism tourney before :D
Wow. This is slightly off-topic, but i think the story is relevant.
So my theory with doing this is that if you help others, it will come back to you.
I think even just the couple of things i've given away on this thread came back to me this morning.
//EDIT - the company just emailed me asking me not to mention what they did for me online.. understandable. Oh well.
This post is a bit pointless now... //
Pay it forward bitches.
That shit comes back around.

Fuck man that's a cool story - goes to show that good things happen to good people - nice!
Yeah! I jumped the gun in telling it as they just asked me not to but oh well..
Lol Hook... PM me the story? You've dangled pandoras box in front of me and now I must know what is in it.

I can't offer as much, but can offer PS2 CVS2, GGX2 #R, Dreamcast ALpha 3, and a 360 promo copy of DBZ Raging Blast.
With CVS2 possibly being at Nats this year, mind if I grab that off you bro?
ooo someone training to be a beast.
