How do?

Loot Sharing Group, in the next few weeks, is going to be doing a Charity Raffle in aid of Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.

Single prize of the Warhammer Store Rebrand Terminator Captain with Grenadefist and the plastic ‘spend £100 and we’ll let you buy one’ Terminator Chaplain. Not exactly expensive, but pretty damned hard to come by.

Would it be ok to promote it on Dakka? Membership of the Group isn’t compulsory, and we’re looking at £1 or £2 per ticket. Naturally, the more we sell the better.

Figured it’s best to seek permission first!

We do not have any hard and fast rules about promoting charitable endeavors here. However, if its tied to a specific location (that someone has to go to collect their prize) then you'd be limited to posting it in the local gaming forum. If its a prize that gets mailed out, then you can post about it in the news & rumors forum.

But a word of warning: The problem with online charitable activities is that often people have little or no way of being able to verify that the contest is legitimately charitable, and therefore people will often scrutinize in great detail the people/company running the endeavor for any lapses in past judgments for signs that the current event is not on the up and up. By choosing to post about in on Dakka, you have to recognize that this may happen (people may question the validity of the endeavor) and this alone is not against our site rules. People have a right to be suspicious about people asking for charitable donations and they have the right to make those suspicions public. And of course, in the off chance that there does seem to be a reasonably valid concern about how the contest is being run or how the funds are being used, etc, then we reserve the right to shut down the thread.

So as long as you're okay with that all potentially being a part of the online discussion, then its fine to post away.

All fine with me

Not going to start it until I have the plastic Chaplain actually in hand, so I can do a ‘today’s newspaper’ type shot to prove the items actually exist.

In terms of Goodwill? I’m open to scrutiny. The Loot Sharing Group has built up a decent reputation for being willing and able to deliver.
