This is expanding on my idea in the original tourny thread, and Pat said he'd allow it if more people say yes (HINT HINT).
Basically, every now and then we could set up a tournament, either ingame or on tf2 or something, that you pay like $3 for to enter (and get the perks with it, up to $15 or something) for a chance to win a Steam game, either of the newer games out or a game of your choosing. Depending on how many people we get the prize could have a wider range of prices, like if 10 people entered the prize could be $20, then we'd keep the rest as per normal donations go.
This way, people who want to donate to help but think it's pointless to or just don't think it's worth it at the lower levels have something worthwhile to invest in, because lets face it, tournaments are bloody fun. To make it fair aswell, staff would have to pay to enter (that includes you Pat, though not as if you'd win anyway ;P).
We could stage one of these every month or two with varying games so everyone gets something to suit their interests at some point or another. This would be on top of weekly free tournaments that you could win in game stuff in.
If you don't have Steam however, we can still work something out. Hell it doesn't even need to be a game, could just get Pat to order something from amazon to your house or whatever (if you'd trust him with the address, that and if he could be arsed >_>) if not... get Steam xD.
I also feel that something like this would greatly boost server happiness and would be some good advertisement, as well as help pay the monthly server bills so we don't have to rely on new people paying like $20 each every month.
The question is though, would you pay around $3 for a chance to win a game worth $15 or more? It's probably legal (well they get the money at the end of the day <_<).
Can't be arsed to proof read.
