Announcing the next in a series of monthly charity fund raising events at Club Neverdie, this Friday, October 6. All proceeds from ticket sales as well as some sponsor, promoter and individual donations from this event will benefit the charity called AICR (Association for International Cancer Research).

I realize there are issues in game that are having an effect on events (bugs, higher flight costs, etc) that made me consider postponing this one, but in the last two months through these events we have raised $1151 for the chosen charities, so I feel it important we keep up this momentum, so I would like to ask you all to please try to attend and to spread the word, full steam ahead!

About the charity:

Sometimes the diversity of not-for-profit organisations can be confusing. It is not always obvious what type of work each carries out. Which ones focus on care as opposed to research? Which operate in a specific geographical region and which are global?

AICR is unique in that:

We have no geographical boundaries - we fund the best science, no matter where it takes place
With 2 funding rounds per year, we can react quickly to new developments
We do not employ scientists nor run labs. By not being encumbered by financial overheads we can maximise the funds going towards cancer research
As we are not tied to specific programmes, AICR has the freedom to support innovative research into less well funded areas of cancer
Projects are carried out in collaboration with top class institutions - this ensures that overheads are minimised and duplication avoided
All projects are peer reviewed by world experts in their field
AICR makes a point of inviting applications from recently qualified researchers, thus investing in the future of cancer research by allowing tomorrow's leading researchers to establish themselves

For further information please see the website:

Now to the event:

All of the charity events will be simple hunt events in domes 1-5 on CND, so that all levels of players can participate. The date is Friday, October 6, from 20:00 MA time until 22:00 MA time. For details on numbers and maturity levels in the domes please look at the excellant chart on EntropiaDirectory here: http://www.entropiadirectory.com/wiki/index.php?title=Club_NEVERDIE_biodomes_DNA_setting s

The rules are simple, highest total loot wins, and all levels of players and weapons are welcome. The most important rule is to have fun, win loot and prizes, and make a difference in the real world, all at the same time.

Prizes:
Our sponsors have once again been very generous, and some details are still coming in about ped and items/services offered, so I will update the prize catagories if needed once details are confirmed, but the prizes will all be worth trying for I promise

1st place prize: a hunt with Neomaven, plus an A-3 Justifier Mk.II and 300 ped for ammo.The hunt will be planned and agreed between Neo and the winner, it could be right after the event or at some other date and time.

2nd place prize: 200 ped plus an EnMatAmp MA-103 (L)

3rd place prize: 100 ped plusa free beauty treatment from Leeloo (who will have her chairs and equipment on CND to take care of you)

Random Prize:50 ped to be used in Freyr's shop on CND

After the event is of course the infamous CND afterparty, in the main disco and VIP area. Make sure you have enabled the music stream in your options, or tune in to CND Live Radio on the web. There may be some additional small prizes for the dancers at the party as well, and Pinky has offered 50 ped to the person judged to have the best haircut at the party .

A very limited number of discount tickets are available for the charity events (price of 16 ped), and can be bought from Urso or other members of his soc the Entropia Green Tours, Mathayus, and some pilots and others (I will update this info as well once the sellers have tickets in hands).

Because the event is for charity, the goal is to have the majority of tickets purchased at full price (20ped) directly from the dome 1-5 land marker terminal on CND. This allows a greater amount of ped from ticket sales to go to the charity.

To purchase and register tickets (register as early as you can but no later than 15 minutes before event starts to be able to enter the event) from the terminal, go to the fertilizer room just West of the Control Room. You will find the terminal for Domes 1-5 on your right. Click on the blue landowner's marker screen, when the window pops up, click on the running man in the upper right corner of the box to open the event schedule window. Click (or double click) on the title of the event (on the left) to open up yet another window. Click on "register" and drag your ped card to the window to purchase a ticket, or your ticket to register. Clicking on confirm will indicate that you are indeed registered.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to pm me here and I will do my best to answer. Please spread the word and hope to see the domes full of fun people on Friday. Individual and group donations outside of the event are also very welcome, just pass to myself or Psycho Al, or pm me here if we are not on your fl but you want to help out.

Special thanks to our sponsors: ND, Neo, CPH, LeeLoo, Freyr, and Pinky.
