New perks for donators!

As you might have read in this topic we are constantly looking for ways to get people to donate so we can pay the rent for our Orange and VIP server (and even get another server soon ?).

As a result from these efforts we have come up with the following reward policy for donators:

$5 – get auto balance immunity and class limit immunity perk for 1 month
$10 – get auto balance immunity and class limit immunity perk for 3 months
$15 – get a custom hat of your choosing which no one else has + the immunity perks for 3 months

Note: Donating $5 two times in a row does not give you 3 months of perks, you have to donate $10 to get that.

So start donating people!

Adam, just donated $30! Thanks Adam

Lol what if I get the same hat as someone else, contradicting the $15 one.

Same hat? Can you give an example?

Gibbo/Greezy[forgetting who's who probably because of the G's] has a darthvader hat . If I get the darthvader hat then it is a hat that someone has ftw . Nonsense btw.

I think we need to advertise this more because most people don't check the forums or are too busy playing they don't see the text saying to type perks to see the perks or w/e . Idk how though , maybe put it as an announcement for the Steam Community group?

I might also mention that any donator cannot have a votekick, voteban, or votemute started on them by a player that is neither a donator nor admin.

You cannot get the a hat that someone else already is using or have i misunderstood you?

OK we can make a steam announcement but i don't have any idea who reads these...

I made a new ingame advertisement yesterday which says 'Want to know about auto balance or class limit immunity? Type 'perks' in chat.
When i saw that popping up the first time someone typed perks in chat immediately. This is the page they see if they do that:

I appreciate any feedback on this.

Eraser, I can make the announcement. Will it be announced in the Community? What do you want put in it? Normally I make my announcements long.

I don't know, it was Google's idea. Something about custom hats. But not use the word custom hats i think, doesn't sound sexy. What makes it special is that on our server each hat is unique. That should be the main message i think.

Maybe first report back in this thread what you want to communicate and why.

I want to communicate the reason for this new perk, what you have to do, what it does, etc. Why what we need the money for. That good enough?

I'll probably donate $10 soon.

yup. do it.

Just a quick question, why can't you sell hats separately like 2 hats a pop or 5 for $20 . Special deals like that.

Adding a hat to the server takes more work than is realized. Eraser spends a ton of time importing them and editing cfgs and testing etc. It also adds to the amount of time it takes for a new player to download everything to join the server for the first time. Because of this we had set a price of $15 a hat. The other perks are another way we say thank you for floating a little cash towards Pulp even if in smaller denominations than $15.
