[quote="Dianne":2c4vf367]I kind of agree with Chicago here. I don't like the idea of one-upsmanship with donations, but surely if people want to give money we should neither disallow it nor make it hard for them to do so.

A long time ago (and for another purpose), there used to be a donations thingie in the fountain. I suggest that like most fountains in most town squares, it should be set up so that people can toss pennies or some such equivalent into it. If the donations were anonymous, there is no bragging involved.

How about a script that churns out some kind of chinese fortune cookie like saying in chat for every linden that is tossed in? (Perhaps with an appropriate sound effect of a penny dropping into a pond)

If every casual visitor to the town square that we get was curious enough to drop in a linden, like the pennies in a real fountain it would certainly add up over time.[/quote:2c4vf367]

That is an ingenious idea! Although the text should be for every [i:2c4vf367]donation[/i:2c4vf367], rather than every [i:2c4vf367]Linden Dollar[/i:2c4vf367], as people making large donations might find that their screen is full of text for quite some time!

If someone wants to run with this I will volunteer to get the appropriate "plonk" and "clink" sounds though and work with whomever wants to try it.

I will make the script, if someone can get me the sound.

Script is done, I just need sounds and what it should say.
