Aaaand PayPal no doubt took every single cent in transaction fees. Really, large lump payments are less likely to be sucked dry by wandering accountant vampires.

2.9% of $3.12 works out to .09048 cents, plus the 30 cents I believe they might charge on top of that. That's 39 cents off, which is 2.73. More than it should be charged, but hardly "every single cent".

I don't want to be that guy (or something), but every little bit helps, no?

hehe the first time I donated, it was $13.37 .  I'll be more 1337 if I donated $14.08 though.   The sad thing is, if a Final Retail DF was released in stores by Bay12, I'd probably buy that too.

How is that sad?

DF is like the first game that I would be happy to pay for.

If not an integer why not 2 more cents, make it $3.14? (pi)

Tooney, I am really surprised that you donated $3.12.....I thought that you will donate $6.66 to be honest!   :D ;)

I just bought a bunch of stuff yesterday and had $3.12 left on the $40 credit card thing (debt card?) I don't know.  There's nothing you can buy with $3.12 so I sent it to Toady!!





EDIT:  Yes he got the left overs, but he got the good left overs!  ;D

That was a good idea.

If everyone who ever played donated $3.12, I'm sure we'd have a happier Toad.

We'd have a richer Toad.
That comes to at least $18,000 dollars, if my numbers are right.

30 + 0.09 does not equal 39.
2.9% of $3.12 does not equal 0.09 cents, it's dollars.

$3.12 * 0.3 = $0.09 + $0.30 = $0.39
