Buy Premium?

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone wanted to buy me another 12 months of Premium membership? :roll:

I would buy it myself but my finances are really tight right now and looks like they will be for the forseeable future. Not gonna give you the whole sad story but i've lost my job because I have a sexist boss, my girlfriend's left me, my nation is poverty stricken, I've got 5 kids to feed... you get the picture :lol: Just thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone responds.

I can't offer anything in return for anyone who buys me 12 months of premium, but it'll help me to keep up all the tourneys I'm running and stuff.

Thanks all, JB ;)

*EDIT*

Just to clear something up "I have a sexist boss, my girlfriend's left me, my nation is poverty stricken, I've got 5 kids to feed... you get the picture :lol:" the only part of that which is true is the thing about my ex boss. It was a joke. Get over it ronc and move on stop trolling me trying to get my thread locked!

I know but I play in a few and I'd run out of game spaces. Plus what about ordinary games?

I guess I'm too used to having 50 to 100 active games at once :lol:

P.S. I love you too OP

are we going to allow panhandlers? come on mods. put a stop to this.

panhandling on cc? next thing we are going to see avatars with "i will work for premium", and "god bless, please buy me premium".

this is ridiculous.

i also just got my reminder to pay for premium. i am just not sure i want to. i am not sure what i am getting. i thought in the past, i got flame wars. but i was sadly mistaken when upper management thought it was a good idea to hire hyasri.

what else will be taken? freedom of speech is already gone. you cant have a gameplan of getting the reputation of a suicider if someone breaks your bonus in escalating, cuz then you will get a c and a report.

what am i really paying for? is it just the gaming experience? where in 20 percent of all games there is a multi?

yes, but while this is all a problem for you, i see this as a solution for the rest of us... if you lose interest in cc then that will be one less person hi-jacking every single thread in gd to whine about flame-wars.

so basically, you say you meant no harm? but yet you are lying in order for people to buy you a premium? come on dude. will someone lock this thread, and add panhandling to the cc's list of no nos.

his entire thread is a lie. and makes cc look like a place for beggers to come and ask for money.

i think it sucks when you go to the gas station, and get hassled for a cigarette, or solicited for a dollar cuz someones tank is empty, and they are on their way to a "jesus retreat". i think panhandling is idiotic. i think that any act that makes people feel uncomfortable should be against the law.

oh wait, panhandling is against the law.

so were you lying about having the kids, or were you lying about lying having 5 kids?

Two things ronc8649.

1. I wasn't lying. Please stop being so pathetic.

2. If it bothers you so much, you shouldn't of read or posted in this thread.

btw, for those of you interested, "I've got 5 kids to feed" is a quote from the Arnold Schwarznegger film Total Recall :D

Avatars wouldn't be a bad idea. And there's nothing against the rules to ask for premium.

Well to be honest with you my current girlfriend lives about 120 miles away so she costs more than the average girlfriend.

it has been well established within the GD by the previous global mod and previous-previous community manager that asking for premium is well within the guidelines of the CC forums. the negative attitude is not needed or warranted. i say good luck to josh!!! i've been gifted each of my premiums, so don't give up hope! fight the good fight!! and if that fails, collect cans and earn the coins to buy it yourself! good luck!-0

Ya know, I always seem to forget that premium money is the main reason the forums exist, being that they are free to use and all regardless of one's membership.
