Thank you very much, Djensen and A&A.org, and FMG too, for hosting this donation drive for TripleA.

Make sure to post below so that Djensen can give you a Tag.  :evil:

I have held off on any kind of donation drive for TripleA because I wanted to have something to show for all the effort.  People have been expecting, ever since the first 1940 game was released, that we would support it.  Now, that day has finally come, and I feel myself and the other devs can feel proud to have made it happen.

The donation will be primarily done by PayPal, but if you do not have PayPal let me know and we can accept other ways like a check or direct deposit, etc.

These funds will go towards the following:
  *  Time spent already on developing the Engine
  -  -  TripleA is no longer just about A&A.  I have spent hundreds of hours making TripleA a general game engine that allows far more customized maps.
  -  -  TripleA now plays all three 1940 maps.

*  Future work and development on the Engine
  -  -  Continue to improve support for 1940 maps until they are perfect.
  -  -  Support future A&A maps.
  -  -  Continue to make TripleA able to support any kind of game we want to play.
  -  -  Get TripleA to play Risk! and other boardgames.

*  Time spent on Promoting and Advertising of TripleA
  -  -  We are now on Desura and also on CNET among many other websites.
  -  -  I will apply for us to be on Steam and/or Origin. 
  -  -  I maintain all these website accounts and keep their copies updated.

To give some idea of the amount of work that has happened since TripleA 1.2.5.4 was released 2 years ago, consider the following:
  *  I have for more than 2 years maintained the TripleA Maps repository of all known maps and games, as well as art and all other material related to TripleA.  This repository allows people to easily download any map they want.
  *  Having joined the development team in 2009, I was the main developer and only developer for about a year while ComradeKev and Sean quit after 1.2.5.5.  In total I have been developing TripleA’s engine for about 2 years.
  *  Since 1.2.5.4 was released, there have been over 800 code commits to the engine.  Approximately half of all changes in the changelog have occurred after 1.2.5.4 was released.
  *  For the past year, I have spent, on average, around 20-30 hours per week, sometimes more, working on the TripleA engine (and that is just me, we have 2-3 other devs too).  In addition, I have created many of the maps in the download list.

The last two days when I go to post my move or my turn I get an unknown error bug and nothing is going to A & A . org. Any Ideas on how to be rid of this bug?
“Suprise Attack”

this has absolutely nothing to do with triplea

a&a.org has run out of hard drive space

noone can attach any files to their posts, not just triplea savegames

djensen should buy a lot more space so that this does not happen again

i think he is working on it

Hi guys, there is a donation drive currently for the TripleA server costs.

Donations pay for the server which hosts the TripleA lobby for live play, this tripleawarclub.org website (ladder and forums), the PBEM “MARTI” dice server, and of course the domain name. We use http://www.linode.com for our hosting provider, the service and up-time are great, and it provides us with the special features we need :)

To keep all this going, we’re asking for anything you can send, 10-15-20 or more would really be appreciated. As usual, we use Paypal to handle our donations but you don’t need a paypal account to donate , just a credit card :)

Correct, thanks for pointing this out.

Every year, Bung (the guy who runs the TripleAWarClub.org website) pays around $400 to have our live Lobby hosted.  (we host with linode)

I would encourage anyone who uses the live lobby to donate a little to keep it running for the next year.
