Everyone reading this--go right now to maxforpresident.org and click the donation button over and over again, it just diverts funds from other organizations!

If you excuse me, I have to get back to clicking...

    So you're the one!

    I have been refreshing the page occasionally, warm and fuzzy with the knowledge that someone out there is clicking like a madman.
  • edited March 2007
    I pressed it like 4 times around 60. I think it's really siphoning money from offshore accounts, and telltale itself is only an elaborate ruse for a very ingenious band of buccaneers!

    edit:
    What was the final? It rolled over on me after i hit 173

    Soon there will be an accounting of all of Max's expenditures. Also, some other pages will appear in the future :)

    The expenditures so far have been:

    • Creamsicles - $188
    • Bullets - $354
    • A Kitten - $234
    • Spinning Rims for the DeSoto - $387
    • Golden Ticket - $175

    • New White House Executive Chef - $100

    (In reverse order.)

    Directly embezzled from such wonderful places as

    Banco Lavadero.

    Oh, and Telltale's pensions, apparently... :eek:

    Max's also siphoning money from the D'ni Restoration Council. Let 'em pay!
    You can't just build a civilization! Even growing one is a bit flaky. It's best to give its people the power to create a civilization themselves, not just make it for the people yourself.
    Thus endeth the derail and possible Uru and Myst 5 spoiler.

    Does the total refresh daily?

    I seem to remember it being higher last night.
  • edited March 2007
    There is a different total for each fundraising goal.
  • edited March 2007
    Right now we're raising funds for a Jaunty Hat for Secretary of State!
  • edited March 2007
    I just "donated" $1 from:
    St. George's Books
    The Communist Party of Rubacava
    The Melee Island Bureau of Tourism
    The Phoney Bone Mayoral Campaign

    There are probably more video game references (like the Mario one), but I haven't seen or recognised them.

    But surely there's a mistake - shouldn't Soviet Russia donate you to the fund? (you do know about Russian Reversal, right?)
  • edited March 2007
    I was amused when the first time I clicked it, funds were diverted from the
    D'ni Restoration Council
    :D
    But surely there's a mistake - shouldn't Soviet Russia donate you to the fund? (you do know about Russian Reversal, right?)

    Nonono. In Soviet Russia, fund donates you!

    (always end a Russian Reversal with "you!")

    And speaking of which, why did Bosco deliver no Russian Reversals in Episode 4, Telltale? :mad:
    If there's one and I missed it, let me know. Otherwise shame on you all.
  • edited March 2007
    "Thank you. $1 has been "donated" to Max for President from
    Ted E. Bear's secret vault."

    Stealing from the presumably dead. That's harsh.

    edit: Woo! I got the last dollar in for the Hush Money.

    Indeed. Damn. :o

    Love the Colbert Report reference in the poll. I knew no one could go long without asking if Max was a great president or the greatest president.
  • edited March 2007
    Yes, there are more video game references.

    Darth Vader has donated 1$ to Max's re-election fund! :D

    Besides www.maxforpresident.org, Tell Tale Entertainment has also registered www.nauseatinglycute.com and www.bancolavadero.com ! :D

    Hey cool, I didn't know about the money-laundering service... is that tied into episode 5 somehow or...?
  • edited March 2007
    yeah i have seen a screenshot of episode 5 with the money laundering site featured on a virtual poster on the street in reality 2.0

    i think that telltale has plans for the max site............... remember the pirate... :rolleyes:

    Anyway, it's rather interesting to see Max take after his ancestor, Max Attucks.

    I know, that's why I like Max so much!

    My personal favorites are:
    Dyslexics Untied ;)
    and
    Computers for the Amish :rolleyes:

    And I didn't realize DOOP was a Futurama reference! I should know, I bought the 4 DVD season box sets! I want a Futurama adventure next!

    BTW, did I miss any funds?
