Hello Holotable heroes!
We are excited to announce our involvement with Extra Life 2022! This will be the 6th year members of the Capital Games team will help raise money for this extraordinary cause.
As you know, this event holds a very special place in the hearts of many people who work at CG. Last year we raised over $20,000 with a goal of $10K, and this year we are setting our sights high again with a goal of $20,000 for our local charity, UC Davis Children's Hospital, located in Sacramento, CA. With your help, we know this can be achieved and we can show how amazing our community is and what we can accomplish together! In the 5 years the team at Capital Games has been doing this, we have raised over $62,000 for children in need.
This year, we wanted to do something different! We have created some fundraising milestones, and for each milestone we hit, we will unlock an in-game reward:
$10,000 Current Reward!

What is Extra Life?”
"
Extra Life is a fundraising program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. The Extra Life community fundraises year-round to Change Kids’ Health to Change the Future.

Will there be any other streams outside of the main one?
Yes! Team members from Capital Games will be periodically streaming on the main channel leading up the event. Crumb will be streaming on his Twitch page once a week starting tomorrow at 6:30pm PT (Further schedule TBD) to support the charity fundraising.

There will be no donation matching as this event is being run by individuals from the Capital Games team.
While I agree with the datacon hate, I think that the thread about a charity event is the wrong place to do it, use the rest of the forum for that
i mean since its a bonus reward it should be a gimmi for most players
I very much dislike the datacrons and unfulfilled gear crunch promises, but I can at least support this team of employees trying to do good for a great cause.
Cg as a whole may be dishonest and not the greatest, but these ppl are trying to do some good with the position that they have.
Good on the devs participating for trying to help ppl. Period.
Yes, that is correct.
For example, if you go to the roster page and see someone named "Meathead" they'd be a prime candidate for donation towards their goal.
The overall team goal is 20K
Thank you I donated. I really like how you guys do this.
That's awesome! Thank you!
We're closing in on the 10K Mark
I started my campaign a few days ago and you awesome folks have got myself up to $500, which is awesome.
And not that it's a competition or anything, but hotdang, Crumb is killing it right now with donations! haha
That is because the company has nothing to do with it, it is organized by a part of the team. And they are probably donating too. And you dont give the money to the company, you give it to the hospital.
So while their call is not hypocritical, your move not to donate because you dont like the organisation (that is not even doing the event in the first place) putting in updates you dislike seems pretty stupid to me.
Why dont you ask McDonalds next how much they are contributing?
Way to go everyone!
probably on September 24th. its the only real date they mention in this
In other news, Crumb and Tusken Meathead will be streaming tonight at 7pm doing what they do best...I have no idea
Catch both streams here: https://www.multitwitch.tv/meatheadmilitia/sbcrumb
what happened to the bonus galactic challenges, I was looking forward to possible extra omicrons ? (I know they were on the list but idk if we reached that goal, still losing them is not good)
also IMO it would be nice if raddus or another newer charatcer was the bonus drop, over UURURURURU
I think they replaced it with rebel assault battles. I agree raddus would be better and ties in and further promotes their new capitol ship. But maybe they don't want to give us raddus shards yet. On the other hand we seem to be struggling with our goal maybe more people would donate if radduss or a new character was put in his place? Or even inquistors as we know how much they are needed.
It doesn't really matter to me as the real reward is helping out a good cause.
