DONATORS
Since all the prizes (bar about 100k's worth) pretty much come from my pocket, I stand to be quite poor again after this. If anyone wants to help me rebuild a bit of wealth, I'll name them here as thanks.

SPECIAL THANKS
Special thanks to
The Chipmunk Scourge, who helped fund the contest before it began with the donation of her Jinxi's Charm.
Special thanks to all the people of the Remove Offers From Gaia! guild, who took me in, listened to various rants, and for whom I make this contest on behalf of. Check them out.
Oh, um. Looks like they've become a pro offers guild. I don't want safer offers, I want no offers. >shrugs< Oh well.
Special thanks to
Summertide who created
this topic. If you're wondering why we're protesting, this is a good place to start to see why.
Special thanks to
The Pistolera who made
this little protest picture, which while not quite eligable for the contest is still worthy of a picket sign and a mention in the Hall of Awesome.
Special thanks to
Penelope Difference, who's sadly decided to leave Gaia, but generously chose to hand over many of her possessions and gold to me.
gonk heart I feel like those Scientologist creeps who get old dying ladies to pledge their savings to the "church". ;__;
Special thanks to
Gil Pizzaeater, Lou-tan, Tsuba Dokio, Collapsing-Apocalypse, TentaSpy, xXdrejjXx and everyone else who often swings by and keeps the thread alive with their friendly chatting.
And special thanks of course to
Gaiaonline itself, who, though I dislike their recent marketing decision, have provided me entertainment for almost 5 years now. I only complain because I care.
