91st OOC Sponsorship

A. Tribute accounts will be set up on a thread. Everyone starts at zero.
B. Once training scores are revealed, people may start sponsoring.
C. To sponsor a tribute, post a reply to the designated sponsorship thread.

1. You may donate anonymously by PMng the staff member in charge of the thread. Please note that with the new sponsorship system, you will be assigned an alias, e.g. "Sponsor A" in the list, so we can track your donation level.
2. The money comes from your own games funds, so make sure you have enough. When you sponsor, we will remove that much from your money.
3. The money then is posted in the tributes accounts.
4. A Sponsor may contribute funds to a tribute but may NOT specify how they are to be used.

D. Day 1 prices will be set for every item. A formula will be provided for calculations of prices each successive day. If members need help figuring out how much something costs, they should ask the current GMs.
E. If a tributes wishes to be sponsored something not on the list, they must ask the GMs for approval. Please note the following items are ineligible for sponsorship:

1. Medicinal and Edible plants
2. Firewood
3. Improved weapons that are better than that which exist in the arena

F. There must be a minimum of $20 for each sponsorship.
G. Limits to Sponsorship: Choose from among the three options listed below. You must state which option you are choosing in your first sponsorship post. If you decline to state, it will be assumed you are sponsoring according to the #1 restriction below.

1. Sponsor up to 10k to any number of tributes.
2. Sponsor up to 20k to a maximum of 8 tributes.
3. Sponsor up to 50k to a maximum of 3 tributes.

Tributes : The following items are available for tributes to purchase with sponsorship money. You may only buy items for your tribute; if you wish to pay for items for someone else, you may donate money on this thread. The money for any items you buy will be deducted from your tribute account (below). Please make sure you have enough. Once you acquired an item, you are also responsible for updating Tribute Maintenance with the acquisition.

Sponsors : If you wish to sponsor a tribute, please post a response to this thread stating which tribute you would like to sponsor and how much money you would like to donate. Please be sure that you have enough money for sponsorships. If you try to donate more money than you have, your entire donation will not be counted.

Prices follow the following formula:
f(x) = 0.1(d - 1)x + x; where x is the day one price and d is the Games Day number. In layman's terms, it's plus 10% per day.
