making christmas merrier $1000 Stretch Goal - PiratePony will match MCM for one week (up to $1000)

[PiratePony 8,498]

We were able to reach $1000 towards our goal in only a week!

On behalf of my wife, daughter and myself, I would like to offer to match the total contributions for one week, up to a total of $1000.

So from now until next Wednesday, December 7th, at 11:59PM EST, consider each of your donations doubled, and on Thursday morning I will contribute my matching donation. Let's try and push for another $1000 week, so that we will automatically hit our goal of $3000 in only two weeks.

Thank you very much for all of your kind donations, showings of support, generous gifts to our donors, and a wonderful spirit that drew me into this community just about a year ago. It is this positiveness and kind spirit of this community which perfectly fits in with the Christmas season and has made Making Christmas Merrier such a success year after year.

So on behalf of the Pirate family, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for living the spirit of generosity in your everyday life and sharing that with us during this campaign.

See you guys in a week! Let's make this happen!

Holy generous ponies! This is SO SO SO generous and awesome, Pirate; You truly are the best! I'd say it is extra-confirmed now: Rarity would be proud of you.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention that you've already done A LOT by bringing MCM again and being the main manager of the event this time; so, thank you for being so generous!

[Jeric 46,890]

Ok. Consider my mind officially blown. I'm at a complete loss for words Pirate.

 

That won't last and when I find the words later I'll say them ... but I just want you to know I believe you may have picked the right Pony as your fav after all.

 

Amazing

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

Oh wow. Pirate, it's no wonder your favorite pone is the element of generosity! I'm also at a loss for words. All I can think of to say is, you're a great person, and a very generous one as well~ Thank you for all your contributions to the community, the charity and MCM, you rock! <3

[Dark Horse 12,976]

Woah, Pirate! I'm almost at a loss for words at this. I am always truly amazed at the level of generosity MCM brings out in our community, but you especially have helped emphasize that today. Rarity would be proud. :idea:

 

A festive heart goes out to you and your family. <3

 

Let's keep the donations coming!

[Rikifive 24,894]

Whoa, generosity is getting serious!  :-o

 

Shame on other elements of harmony.  :-P

 

jk

 

That's really amazing of you to offer this.  I wish I could do the same.

I wish you the best! 

[Snow 9,026]

As a treasurer and a pirate you are a fool for doing this.

But for doing this you are generous, kind hearted and a simply magnificent person

[Randimaxis 8,665]

I have been watching all of this unfold from the sidelines, and I have GOT to put my thoughts into words, here.

 

From the onset of this grand and worthy project, PiratePony has gone above and beyond the clarion call of duty, and has taken GRAND strides forward with this incredible and life-changing project.  This man has done all the hoofwork, and put in long hours toward making this happen; I have observed him (metaphysically) running around like a Manticore with a bad splinter, and keeping spirits high while STILL making calls, finalizing decisions, keeping tallies and basically being the incredible, active soldier in the war against stagnation that he's always shown to be.

 

The very second he became a part of the MCM team, I knew this project was in the best possible hooves - and he has done nothing but prove that point with each and every passing day.  The determination, follow-though, support and absolute CARE he's been putting into this has proved, beyond ANY shadow of possible doubt, that this man - this fine example of Rarity's representation in our own universe - has not only met the many expectations of this charity... but he has SURPASSED THEM ALL.

 

I, for one, find myself exceedingly blessed to have the opportunity to exchange words with such a miraculous example of what so many people in this world should strive to be:  an upstanding citizen of Equestria, a loyal fellow to these forums, and an all-out wonderful person.

 

PiratePony, you are - indeed - the finest and most well-loved Pirate to ever sail the Pony Seas; one and all, we thank you for sharing the light of your existence with us.  One is glad to be of service to such a great person.  *bows humbly*

[Mesme Rize 15,692]

 

That is amazing Pirate. You really take this generosity thing seriously.

 

And i am really happy on how exceptionally good we are going. Seems to become a very merry christmas for all of us.

[Hypn0ticD 1,214]

Woooooow, @PiratePony! There's generosity, and then there's your donation, which makes mine look like that much more of a joke!

 

You should get a badge for just a momentous act of generosity!

[Yoshi89 5,294]

PiratePony, there are no words to express the sacrifice you're willing to make for the sake of generosity. You are a wonderful human being.

 

Thank you.

[PiratePony 8,498]

Guys, thanks for all of your very kind words. I just hope we can drive this in. We actually have less than $750 to reach that matching goal!

@@GrimGrimoire, I love this *so* much, you have no idea. I made it my skype avatar!

 

So, we're about halfway through the week and almost halfway through my matching cap!  We stand at $1,429. We have four more days to reach $2,000 and to reach my max match!

 

We can do it, Poniverse & MLP Forums!

Eh, only until the 7th and no more donations accepted? Dang, I didn't want to burden you any more, PiratePony, but looks like I'll have to make my donation sooner than I intended and increase the sum you have to match. Speaking of, you are a great person, you deserve all of the praise! :idea:

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Now to figure out how to make a donation via PayPal...

Wut?! Then I shall wait!!

 

Nah well I don't know if I'll be able to donate before the matching deadline after all - and me no like burdening you. We'll see, but donate I shall.

[Snow 9,026]

[PiratePony 8,498]

Only about 27 hours left and only $201 to a full match!

[Ninjaed 532]

Not much time remaining now! We're not that far from a full match people!

 

I ended up burdening you PiratePony, pray forgive this sinner. Please no walking the plank!

[Snow 9,026]

Because of the desire to give more and really wanting to reach this goal... Also OCD XD I will be rounding the total up to the next hundred. meaning if we can get it to at least $1901 or more I'll cover the rest.

So get to it!!
