Donated.

The money doesn't get taken until the Kickstarter is completed so you can pledge now and not worry.

I wish they'd hurry up and stick up videos of the 2 days of broadcast for those that missed it live. I caught the Circuit final but missed all of Sunday's coverage.

It's not going to be on TV. It's going to be on the internet. Available everywhere except China possibly...

I wonder how much they'll make by the end. At this rate they might make enough to afford a MOPLE!

There are so many commentaried tournament videos of LOTR though that you get pretty much everything you would on one of Bowen's tutorials.

Well PAPA have managed to make the HQ very nice without this Kickstarter so far so I doubt that things like the TVs will never be upgraded just because that isn't specifically included as something to be funded.

Where did the PAPA guys get the money for everything so far anyway? How much is the PAPA facility worth right now?

I think another stretch goal should be to have a European PAPA facility built near my house in South London. EuroPAPA.

It's great to see all this effort being put into the community and Bowen Kerins has contributed a lot and I'm a big fan. His AC/DC rulesheet would be great too since he's good at dissecting, explaining and adds a humourous element too. However, I just don't like the idea of creating a mini Kickstarter for this. I'm sure Bowen doesn't have the time for this as he said but someone else will have the time to make this at some point down the line. I prefer the idea of donating AFTER someone has written a rulesheet or created a tutorial. Isn't that how it's always been? That said Bowen deserves to be rewarded for all his previous rulesheets and if he's willing to accept donations I'd love to show my thanks by bunging him a few quid.

I think the guys at Pinball News deserve a bit of cash too for their hugely detailed reviews of new Stern tables. Martin Ayub I think does them but I'm not 100% sure.

I only posted that in here because the discussion of raising $500 for you to write the AC/DC rulesheet was being discussed in this thread.. I think. Anyway it looks like the fund has been set up anyway so no doubt that money will be raised very quickly given how many people want that rulesheet. I see the money is going to the Pinball Outreach Programme too so that's great.

If I ever get to PAPA when you're there I'll be sure to buy you a drink.

No booze at PAPA? I just assumed...
