Mega-MLR Charity Album & Smile : A Christmas charity Fund

[SoGreatandPowerful]

Guys, is it just me or can anyone see the entries?

I was just logged out and I could still get to them!

[CaptainFluffatun]

I think we can view them now because the due date passed, or something. So, do we get to know who won? Or do we have to wait until Christmas to find out?

[bartekko]

So, do we get to know who won?

Everyone won, as long as he didn't make a troll entry.

[Navron]

Just a heads up guys... Meepsheep has taken her fight to Twitter. please disregard any messages she may send you; they are trying to build up an encyclopedia dramatica page.

Wait? An ED page of the MLR charity album issue, or an ED page of bronies?

If it's the latter, I'd be disappoint of the internet if there isn't one already.

[Rumpy]

What's with the Meepsheep fight and stuff? Some videos taken down, something to Twitter, why's that?

And, uh, I'll get you lossless, it'll be easier than 320mp3. Assuming my old computer isn't bonkers and will cooperate long enough... wish me luck as I battle malfunctioning technology!

I guess this was an oversight, we just used the Remix War coding. Please do not share it, it will be hidden as soon as Makkon comes back.

In other news, we just launched the event and "pre-order" donations, more information here : http://broniesforgood.org/?p=374

Thanks again to everyone !

Guys, if there's any other promotional links related to this album, just post it right away.

I'm ready to spam people and convince some non-bronies to donate.

2000th post GET

Guys, gotta say, y'all were incredible to take time to make such sweet soundz for these kids. Much of it was sweet and soothing and just right for the job. Thanks <3

I want to spread the word about this album, but I'm not sure where the download link is. How do ponies buy this charity album? Folks have asked me, and I'm not entirely sure.

[Circuitfry]

It's not released quite yet.

We are already taking "pre-orders", though : broniesforgood.org/?p=374

Merry Christmas to you all !

Here's the detailed info for the whole project http://broniesforgood.org/?page_id=302

And as we know, video teaser is sadly taken down.

We haven't got an official purchase link yet, but here's a pre-order link http://www.globalgiving.org/dy/fundrais ... regid=6545

Let's be patient and make this work. And what Fry said; Thank You for giving such beautiful entries. And thank you for the mods who made this work.

[InC]

Before I forget, spreading the word will help the kids greatly, but please share the link in my previous post instead of the globalgiving link, as there are special instructions to follow in order to get the album and the extra prizes !

Thanks again to everyone, I can't stay long myself, but everything I said in the BfG post is heartfelt. Really, thank you all ande have a very merry christmas !

Minimum donation of $10??

You're going to deter a lot of people. I'm going to buy this anyway, but was expecting minimum $5. And Volume 2 will be another minimum $10 presumably?

[MiuMiuChuu]

Guys, I'm really sorry to tell you this. I proposed the album to be promoted by my relatives who happen to have connections. As professional as they are, they asked me if the copyright claim is really a serious issue. I told them we were trolled and how many people out there don't like what we're doing just because we're bronies. (I hope) They agree to help out the promotion, but to convince people who knows nothing about internet, bronies and haters, flames, and such, our originality and integrity will be questioned.

I don't want this to happen for this project. I hope we can deal with promotional items without some parasprites getting in the way.

[InC]

Guys. We just broke $2000. Nope, not a typo. In less than a day, without even being on EqD yet, we all raised TWO. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. $2500, actually, as we already secured a 500$ prize for CCA (and the$1500 prize isn't too far away either).

$5 was the initial plan, but this isn't up to us : Global Giving only takes donations greater than $10.
I just realized I hadn't explained all of the technical details here, I'm so sorry ! Technically, we aren't really "selling" this album, but rather offering it to anyone donating to CCA. This way, 100% of the money goes direclty to the Children's Cancer Association (Bandcamp, PayPal and taxes would have ended up taking away a quarter of it), donors benefit from tax deduction and we have undeniable proof of the amount of money we raised. Moreover, we don't handle any of the money ourselves, we only give away free stuff, so this rids us from most legal concerns.

Please don't share the link to the GlobalGiving page, but rather this one : http://broniesforgood.org/?p=374
Without the full instructions, only donating will not get you the album nor the extra prizes. Speaking of it, the top donors will get some pretty awesome stuff : http://broniesforgood.org/?page_id=308

Thank you for doing this ! You can just send them the link to the video if they have doubts, Meepsheep Enterprises obviously doesn't exist. Because of the way we're handling it, they may have trouble helping us on this one, though. However, looking at how this is turning out to become a huge success, we could very well push back the second volume, find partners and do another event in a more professional way.

Just sent in my own donation, and also posted a status update about the album on my facebook page.

[Biff0r]

This is all so awesome. As I just said in IRC, I really wish I joined earlier so I could have tried to come up with something to help. Also, those Pinkie headphones are amazing.

[Biff0r]

I just thought about this: Can we (as in Manestream Games) offer a prominent place ("Special Thanks to") on our credit roll for top donators, when we actually finish the game? It's not like we're giving up on it, but still there IS a very small risk involved, obviously, if things go terribly wrong. But we would be happy to offer that

[MYCUTIEMARKISAGUN]

noooooo its still not out D:

CHRISTMAS IS RUINED!!! ;_;

Holy crap. Was not expecting that much!
So how did this turn out? Anyone know? I'm out of town and just checking in, I couldn't be there myself to make sure everything gets out the door. Did we get PPS's entry added to the album? Did we ever hear back from PsychedelicBrony? Just wanting to make sure we got everything taken care of in time.


Also, would it be fine to publish my song to youtube now? It's currently private. I can remove the download link if needed.

on a serious note, if I were you, I'd put it on youtube using 96 kbps mp3 file
