Firstly, welcome to Makeshift Wings 2.0. Yes, 2.0; for those of you unaware, there was a first Makeshift Wings charity run eons ago (well, more like half a year, but it seems like forever!) by a team of 5 users who just plain loved to give. Unfortunately, things happened, and the charity died, but now a couple of them are back to rebuild their old home.

This, as you may have guessed by now, is a charity. We are fully aware of how difficult it is to earn gold for all those awesome items out there, and so we're here to help. However, if you do wish to obtain our help, please be sure to read the rules carefully.

1. This one's fairly straightforward; read all the rules, as well as the guidelines in the FAQ, and follow them.

2. Please don't bump often. It's spam, and we don't like spam here. You're more than welcome to talk with us, or anyone else here, though. A bump an hour or longer is good^^. We don't want pages lost.

3. If you do decide to stick around and chat, please be careful with the quotes. Considering we have to review the thread to see if anyone has applied for donations, we'd like to keep the thread as clean as possible, without excessively long chains of quotes.

4. Please be respectful. We want to keep this charity a friendly environment for all. Even if a disrespectful n00b comes in here and begs, it is not your place to flame them.

5.Do NOT PM us with requests for help! Follow the guidelines in the FAQ for information about how to apply for a donation.

6.Gracie doesn't like people stalking her, and begging for gold. If you do so, she will chop off your head.

Have any questions that are not listed in these three FAQs? Feel free to ask! We're not all that evil.


::Applying for a Donation::


I've already read the rules, but how do I apply?
First, make sure you also read the rest of the FAQ to know exactly what you need to be qualified. Then, simply fill out this form and post it in the thread. You only need to post it once, so do not post it over and over. We make sure to read through them all.

*Order Form

Name:
Post Count:
Join Date:
Questing for:
How long you have been questing:
Number of Pages:
Link to Quest:
What is Kenshin and Gracie's favorite band:

What do I need to have to qualify for a donation?
Sometimes, people aren't very dedicated to their quests. They simply make a thread and expect others to do all the work for them. We don't like to see that, so you'll have to have at least 20 pages on your quest thread to show that you're dedicated to fulfilling your quest.
Keep in mind, though, that there are certain situations where we may choose not to donate even if you have 20 pages. One example would be if you are questing for a very expensive item and aren't anywhere near getting it. We do expect questers to have a certain portion of their quest completed before they start questing; something to show that they're trying, and willing to do it themselves if they have to.

EDIT: I've been seeing more and more quest threads where people have just slapped together a bajillion of their favourite items and expect others to donate to them to get them all. Quite frankly, I think it's excessive, and you're not very likely to get any help. If you're questing for a few store items to complete your avatar or something, it's fine, but don't be surprised if you're turned down for a donation if you're questing for a ton of items.

In order to qualify you must be applicable to all of the following:
*Must have more then 800 posts.
*Been on Gaia for longer then a Month.
* More then 20 pages to your quest thread.
A decent sum already towards your item to show you are willing to work hard.

* When asked what Kenshin and Gracie's favorite band is, reply with "Nightwish"

Can I Request a donation for somebody else?
Yes, just send a request in their place just as they would on their own. Make sure that they qualify. Also if we find out you are a mule you will automatically be blacklisted. We do not like cheaters.

How go I donate to the charity?
Just Sernd a Trade to strawberry lube, or the mkw2.0 Account. I advise sending it to Strawberry - since I am on the account more often.


::General Questions::


Can I use the wings graphics for my sig/thread?
No, all the graphics were made by Fall From Grace, and her biggest pet peeve is when people take her art. Please do not use it without permission. If you truly want them, talk to Gracie and she might make you something similar. That is, if you ask nicely and she's in a good mood.

What if I use them Anyways?
Simple, Gracie will report you, art theft is wrong.

What is the monthly contest?
Each month their will be some sort of contest in which either gold or an item will be given out, more information will be found in the contest section. Feel free to check it out, it is a good and easy way of gaining gold!

Why didn't you give me as much gold as you gave _____!!
Please don't whine about the amount of gold we give you. Remember, this is a charity, we DONT have to give you anything. The amount we give you depends on the item you are going for, and how much we tend to have at the time. We have to be fair.


::Ego Boosting FAQ::
(Gracie's favorite FAQ xd !)



Just how big is Kenshin's ego?
By god, you'll be surprised! Seriously, if you want to pat his ego you're going to have to stand on the damn moon to do so! gonk
-- Gracie

So how big is Gracie's ego?
Still calculating...

Kenshin you're hawt, will you go out with me?
In order to date me you shall have to go to your local court house and have your name changed to Bobbert. After that you must go to your local cemetery, dig a 6 foot hole, stand in the middle of it, then eat your left sock.

Kenshin, why are you such a sexy beast?

Gracie, why are you such a secksey beast?
This is simple. There are many things that make me a secksey beast! The main being that I like to watch midget porn and eat fried chicken every night before bed... that alone ups my seckseyness 12 notches!

Short Bio: So you want to know about me, the infamous Rayne. Well sorry to say, my story is a short one. I grew up in the town of Parkland, on the outskirts of Tacoma Washington. My child hood passed quickly like any other Childs, constantly on the run from Minotaurs for calling them walking coat racks, or saying I could speak there language with a simple "Moo!". At the age 13 I knew it was time for my grand pilgrimage. So packing my small but ample bag with a few of my essential adventuring equipment: A ball of lint, my holy chicken bone, 3 rubber bands, a shiny button, a rock, a dohigger, and a silver spoon in which to turn ghost and banish zombies, I head out on my grand adventure.

Needless to say, the first two years of my pilgrimage went by uneventful until the day I met a wandering dark wizard. After a few verbal taunts and asking if he did birthday parties, I once again found my self on the run. To this day I still am not sure if that wizard is after me, or the mage that had taken my "You call yourself a mage, you can't even cast a fishing line", to heart, even though it was a innocent comment.

My journey, uneventful as it is, is slowly drawing to an end now. I only hope that the creature I called a cross between a gully dwarf and a hob-goblin, never finds me, for I fear, he really does smell of elderberry. Well, I fear I must leave you all with this small bit of info on me. I bid you adieu and good day ^^!

There are many, many generous and awesome Gaian's out there. In this section a few extremely awesome ones will be listed, since all this wouldn't be possible without them.


KenshinHimura86 What can I say, you know damn well all of this wouldn't be possible without you. You are and have always been one of the nicest people I know. You give and give without ever asking for anything in return. It's quite amazing. Just wanted to say thank you for all you've done.

Hyrulian Princess Although I don't realy know her, she is a very very kind hearted person. My Sis was having a very hard time and Hyrul stepped in and for the most part calmed her down - and act that not many people would do. I have never been good at offering comfort, only good at listening, and to have her step in and work magic on my sis really did mean alot to me. (So don't you dare think you don't matter).

Fall From Grace


Lady Marridian: I need a child, but naught the seed to spawn it with.
Court Jester: What about Sir Warren the Bold?
Marridian: he is but a mortal...
Jester: Legend says he could seduce a stone.

(Warren, pops head out from around the pillar)

Warren: Nay, I cannae seduce a stone...

(Marridian and Court jester looks to warren)

Jester: Tis a meta-!
Warren: For a stone is an inanimated object and not living..
Marridian: Fine, fine, a blade of grass...
Warren: Much better...

(Warren pokes head behind pillar once more.)




Teh Gracie has been having an uber bad day, and reading this cheered her up on the spot.
