DU fund drive: do donations move a particular candidate's glove?
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 12:06 AM by orangepeel68
Or do the gloves move in sync?

The last time we had a fund drive it was a race and donors got to move their candidate ahead. This time, I didn't see anywhere where I could choose a candidate, but I'm wondering because the gloves don't seem to be even.

on edit: well, now they are even, so maybe it's just me.

:shrug:

2. I think they move in sync
If you click on either glove, or anywhere else that links to the donation page, it goes to the same place.

5. That's what I thought. If I was asked which glove I wanted to move, I missed it.
Thanks! :D

3. Have you tried donating in 100 $ bills five minutes apart to see if the gloves move? If you
do that ten times and nothing happens, probably not !

I'm gonna run now !! Altho Skinner would probably like my experiment :freak:

9. Your donations don't affect the position of the gloves
They're just going to occasionally change places back and forth as the fund drive goes on.

As tense as things are in GD: P, it was probably a good idea not to make it a competition. (but you might have raised more money that way!)

:D

10. I'm kinda sad in a way about the heart thing...
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 12:11 AM by FlyingSquirrel
The first time I donated I thought it was a wonderful coincidence when I got a note saying someone had sent me a heart. Then I donated again 'cause I wanted to give away some more hearts, and got another heart at the same time. (Slapping forehead) Ok, I get it - if I donate, you give me a heart. So now I'm sad realizing that in fact nobody gave me a heart. And I don't really want to disillusion anyone else out there, but it bothers me because I know a lot of people are probably like me and are giving hearts to people who don't have any - so that means since I have two (both because I donated) the chances of someone giving me one are that much lower. I'd actually have preferred to not receive any hearts when I donated. Well, I hope not too many people who THINK someone gave them a heart but really nobody did, will be reading this 'cause I don't want to dash their excitement. I guess there's more to life than little hearts below your name.

:nopity:

11. I haven't donated and I got a heart
Maybe 2 people really did give you a heart. :shrug: If I had money to donate I would.

12. No, because the hearts came at the exact same time as the confirmation
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 12:16 AM by FlyingSquirrel
that I had just donated. Once might be coincidence, twice is definitely not.

because he likes you!
