1611 Fellowship Fund - [OPEN] to all Quest for The Ten Commandments

[1611 Bank]

Following our successful appeal to buy the 1611 KJV Bible from the armoury, we have now decided to continue and try and raise 5 million blessings to purchase a set of the Ten Commandments.

The basis will be the same as previously. Anyone who wishes to donate to the fund may do so by giving blessings to the 1611 character.

As before, a list of donations will be posted regualarly in the thread, and blessings banked on a weekly basis, when interest will also be collected.

So, thank you in anticipation of another successful appeal, and lets hope that this appeal makes us even more new friends than the last one did.

[Timothy]

How's that for a signature?

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

OK, we off and running on our way to the Commandments.

First of all thanks to Tim for making this a sticky and also making it an open thread, because i forgot about that bit.

Nice touvh BTW Tim.

The [open] to all....

Like it.

Nice touch

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

I'll sort my sig line out in a minute.

 

[Timothy]

Nice touch BTW Tim.

Thanks. This is an ecumenical effort, after all...

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

Thanks. This is an ecumenical effort, after all...

Quite so.

I was in a rush and just forgot to put the [open] in.

Changed my sig line.

Just copied yours Tim

 

[Timothy]

Nicking my sig-line, honestly... what can we do with you, Mr Andy?

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

4,994,640 to go....

Piece of cake

 

[Timothy]

Din't we have some left over from the interest of our final bank with all the blessings? I did wonder if we should've held onto the blessings for a few weeks to give us a bit of a head-start... or would that have been cheating?

 

[Timothy]

Another 1,250 blessings in the pot!

Not sure of the exact figures without going and checking (which I will do later), but I believe we have around 10,000 left in the bank.

As for leaving the 2.5million to gather interest, it simply wasn't needed.

We set out to get the Bible, and after all the work that people put in, it was right and proper that we should get it ASAP once we had the required blessings

I agree. But there's a little bit of me inside that just 'wonders'

Anyway, heres 10,000 to be going on with.

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

That will have to do for the next few days.

However, on Sunday I get my bank interest and then I'll be able to raid my account.

And I promised that I would make sure that we got off to a good start on this appeal. During the last couple of weeks of the Bible appeal I deliberately cut right back on my donations. However, some may have noticed that I was still racking up arcade wins during that time.

I wanted to make sure that we could get this appeal off to a good start and the bank appeal was going so well by then that my donations were hardly missed.

So here's ther deal.

On Sunday morning (about 10am UK time) I will donate 250,000 blessings to the fund.

Then for the following 10 weeks I will pledge 25,000 blessings each week.

That will get us a platform to build upon.

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

brb

 

[JoshuaCh1v9]

Just been over to see how the Semper guys are getting on.

They are on 625,000 blessings. (I gave 'em 3k)

So we have some catching up to do.
