Help send me Tokyo!

Hi, I am Mack 'Petraeus' Smith.
Recently I won the NZ/PH Tokyo Game Show Qualifiers and am going to Tokyo in 6 days

As part of the prize, they provided $1000 USD. So far I have raised $350 NZD from Family/Barcraft NZ but I'm still short $750 NZD.
Rogue has kindly made a ChipIn page for me in the hope of raising some of the funds needed. Any donations would be much appreciated

Thanks.

is this a normal thing for tournaments people qualify for?
that you have to pay for your own flight + accommodation?

yes, this is why there are teams and why those teams need sponsors

No, I'll still be going. My mum has already paid for the flights but I have limited time to pay her back.

Re: Help send me Tokyo!

This doesn't sit right with me.

In my opinion, by signing up & competing in the qualifier you should be accepting that you have the means to get to the next stage of the event. If that means your mum pays for it and you have to pay her back - so be it, earn the money to get your reward. However you've decided you'll sign up and accept any benefits whilst trying to lump the costs on the community (ie. dipping into both sides for yourself).

I know I sound like a dick by saying this, but needed to get it off my chest.

Re: Help send me Tokyo!

I'll donate some money next week on wednesday to help pet but am poor til then. This was the main reason i didn't compete after doing the sums the night before. Having said that though i hope you have fun and a good time

Re: Help send me Tokyo!

Yeah I understand what Stallion and UHF are saying. However when I signed up for the tournament, I thought I would be able to get funding from either a team or individual sponsors. Unfortunately that isn't working out too well for me which is the reason I am asking the community. Sorry if this seems selfish/not thought out, I didn't anticipate this outcome.

Re: Help send me Tokyo!

Hmmm..
I'm just going to step in and say that the attacks at Pet are pretty unfair. The kid is asking, if you want to help him out - then he would really appreciate it.

UHF, while I agree, people shouldn't sign up for qualifiers if they have no way of getting to the finals. No one said anything about this request for support. Now while it can be argued that PiG had a bigger opportunity to gain exposure at the event, the bracket for TGS is probably alot easier for Pet and he will likely be aiming for a top 3 finish.

In short, if you don't agree or don't like this - don't donate. It's very unfair that people point the finger at Pet constantly while others do the same things and get all the support they need.

Reading is a good skill to have, Jamie. "No, I'll still be going. My mum has already paid for the flights but I have limited time to pay her back."

Re: Help send me Tokyo!

Maybe you should reword the original post to say that your flights have already been paid for, and we aren't paying to send you over, we are paying off your loan to your mother.

This is kind of my point - you decided to sign up and qualify, therefore should take responsibility for the costs involved, not throw it over to community and make it sound like you urgently need assistance getting over there. If you are going regardless, I feel you should work to pay off your mother, rather than expect the community to front up the money.

I know it'll sound cliche but when i was younger, $700 was a lot of money. If i wanted that kind of money I would have to work my ass off for it. I'm all for supporting the community, but there has to be a line somewhere.

I'm not having a go at you personally, I have nothing against you. I just don't like the situation and I believe you are approaching it the wrong way. Anyway, I've already stated my opinion more than I should have.
