I shall edit it to "we" to address your concern, Timothy Williamson! That said, I really don't need your lecture, buddy. A lot of people sweat blood, money, and tears putting on a good show for folks, and those same people do a lot (including more money, blood, and tears) thanking the volunteers who actually make it happen. I would appreciate you trolling the places I've thanked my volunteers just as hard, and giving me props there, if your sole purpose for living is invading threads and derailing them with nitpicks fueled by ridiculosity.

Hey, was there a final dollar count on how much was raised for charity this year? I didn't make NOVA and didn't see it posted on the NOVA blog. Just something I remembered to ask.

**MVBrandt**

The worldwide community of gamers who contributed raised close to $20,000 across the charity armies, silent auction items, and charity lounge.

The army raffles alone raised:
Fisher House Foundation: $1,000
Child's Play Charity: $1,500
Wounded Warrior Project: $2,300
Breast Cancer Research Foundaton: $2,650
Doctors Without Borders: $7,300

Charity proceeds look excellent

. Now that that's settled, let's get back to the original topic, please.

I notice that attendance is down at some events and up at others. I also notice that there are way more events then ever before. I speculate that the nearly the same number of people are playing but it is spread out now. Due to calander dates and more to choose from.
