I've got a problem, I need to get my money for my chainsaw to the RS guys some time.

My parents won't let me go through with it knowingly.

SO, here's the question, anyone got any ideas how I can discreetly transfer money to South Africa?

How old are you? I'd think your parents would let you do something like this if you were spending your own money.

Edit: Holy crap! Your birthday is the same as mine!

Blessed feces, we do have the same birthday! Whoa...

But yeah, you'd think that, but things like that don't tend to work out when it should...

you know i bet its a scam to get other people ro pay for his weapons.

But if you ask people who want them to come out, then you might be on to something

Here's a reminder of what this thread's subject is.
Let's stick with that ok?

I seem to remember the devs were talking about direct bank to bank transfers or something along that. In theory (which has never helped me) if you (X) have a bank account you should be able to do a direct transfer, then again, this is in theory, and i'm probably mostly wrong.

That theory is true, but all transfers are logged. And that is not good when considering that Xav isn't 18 just yet.

Well he will be soon, if i remember his birthday.

So if this is true, which you have stated. I'm so doing this for my G36/XM8 3 gun pack.

Hmm. . .My parents own a buisness, and can process people's credit card info and whatnot. But I'm not sure that's any help.

Probably isn't. But how can i truly know.

we should really try this direct-transfer sometime.. will have to give you our details, and hopefully there is no unpleasant crap :)

other solutions, could be to smuggle it through, with a small mexican boy stowed-away on a plane :D

Doesn't a direct transfer require a checking account, or would a savings account work?

Now, about this smuggling...
Would a gnome work instead? ;)

Yeah... My plans are to give them the money soon after 2.0 becomes public, give you something to really try out the gore on. ;)

Dunno how likely that will be though, still need to work something out...

It depends on what bank service you use, I think mine supports international money transfer.

I REALLY hope that sponsoring work doesn't somehow violate Epic's trademarks and intellectual property rights. . .A lawsuit or cease-and-desist order on RS would NOT be a good thing. :(

But they haven't complained so far, so it's all good.

Have you checked out that MoneyGram service I mentioned a while back? Assuming there aren't any age restrictions, you could just take the cash to your local agent and they'll wire it to SA for you. No bank accounts etc. required.

I don't think it does, haven't people made maps for money?

Nope, since I doubt many people can afford lawyers.

A lawsuit... nah, very unlikely. Cease & desist... maybe, but it wouldn't have to stop sponsoring. Things would just have to be done a bit differently, that's all. ;)

No, it just means BW is still below their radar, and/or that they don't really care about UT2K4 anymore, 'cause commercially and otherwise it's practically dead. Things will almost certainly be a bit different if & when BW becomes a major UT3 mod, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For the time being, devs & bank account willing, I intend to continue sponsoring stuff.

Could be, though I'm guessing it would be somewhat expensive. However, I know for a fact that people have skinned for money. You can do pretty much anything as long as you're reasonably discreet about it. Lex mala, lex nulla.

I'd rather say impossible. Donating is far away from braking any laws or trademarks, RS aren't telling you to pay a few dollars for a download link, they are just offering the community to give them money if one wants a weapon into the mod.

I can't remember if I did check out MoneyGrams or not... hmm...

But there are local agents you bring the money too? I don't recall seeing any, and my parents probably would notice me bringing money in there and/or get suspicious...

Yeah, could be a bank or post office for example.

Well, it looks like there aren't any agents in Custer*, so you'd have to either sneak out of town, or mail the money to a friend/family member/acquaintance who lives near an agent location. But if you do somehow manage to get the money to an agent, the transfer itself should be pretty straightforward. Of course Cyberax, or whoever manages Runestorms accounts, would have to check first whether everything works ok @ his end, but according to the website MoneyGrams should be available in SA (through Standard Bank and Rennies Bank).

Sweet! There's an agent in Wal-Mart, I'm guessing in the bank I use there. This might make things easier. Thanks RedShift!

Now to find out if the guys in SA can work this out. :)

Time to do a bit more research.

There's one in Custer after all? Cool...

Hell no, we only have a population of about 300! :D

There's a nearby city, Ludington, that has the Wal Mart, my mom works there in fact. :)
