I have no idea, we really should though as we did have an original agreemetn and I think we should stick to it. Is someone willing to try to figure it out or do you guys want me to do it? Couldn't we all just send a specified amount to one person's paypal account and then they could buy the book? As I said before if you guys can't figure it out I'm willing to just buy it, let me know what you buys want to do!

Tehol is Man Proofing this fellas. Now, while I love our Canadian Trini as much as the rest of y'all, we need to show her that we can get stuff done.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Do you have a paypal account TB? If not, we can do mine.
See, morons can get work done too. At least the talking about it part.

Yep I have a paypal account if you guys want we can use mine, although it might be easier to use yours SB as you're in the states. If you pre-ordered the book for HD from an american site shipping would probably be cheaper. Although I guess it doesn't matter where it's ordered from if I put it on my visa. I can order it on Amazon.com or from Randomhouse and have it shipped to HD. Either way I'm cool with it.
Oh and HD it's 10:30 in the morning, time to sober up my dear!

Really, look, I'll pm Hetan and ask that all of us involved can make a "donation" on the malazan empire account. They may be able to get an advanced copy and use the money to get it to you. I'll let you all know when I hear from Hetan. That way, you might get a kick ass copy.

Here is my and Hetan's convo.
Note: I really sent this like 14 times but the forum was going haywire.....
Also, I responded that we need an exact dollar amount so that we can devide that number between us. Also, I think it should be divided by 5...I don't think Slum should have to pay...hell he didn't even get to pick and might very well have won....so I think we divide the price by 5 (Me, TB, Bubba, Slow Ben, and Frook). I also suggest that we round up and let the site keep the rest as thanks for their help. Anyway, when the release date gets closer,I'll keep everyone updated etc.

Hi Bent,
Thank you for the 14 messages
Certainly we can use the paypal system to send a copy of DoD to Hoosier Daddy - we can work out the mechanics of it at a later date.
I haven't asked the publishers for advance copies yet, so I'd rather not promise what I don't currently have at this moment, to avoid disappointment.
Sorry to be a while getting back to you - was away for a few days

So, over in the sports section we started a March Madness thread and everyone agreed to pitch in and buy the winner Dust of Dreams. Well, thats over with and Hossierdaddy won. So I would like to ask a favor. We can't agree on how to get the money together and purchase the book, so I was wondering if it would be possible for each of us to use the "Donation" button and get you guys to maybe purchase and send the book to HD. Of course if this would be a problem we could always use one of our own paypal acounts, but I thought this might be easier. Plus it would be super cool if we could get an advanced copy or something special like that sent to him...and since you guys have connections, hey, its worth a shot...let me know what you think when you have the chance, Thanks in advance, either way.

PS, I am having trouble with my interwebs so sorry if you have already recieved this.

Thanks for coming up with a solution for us Bent! As soon as we get the dollar amount just let me know and I'll send my portion of the money. I agree it should probably be a five way thing, as Slum didn't actually play.

No worries 
I'll need Hoosier Daddy's mailing address so that I can pre-order, and it will probably be quicker to ship from England than Canada?
I'm assuming it will be out in England before Canada - but I don't know at this point if that is the case.
Once that's sorted it can be pre-ordered and the shipping cost will be quoted in the price and I'll get back to you to let you guys know the total figure.
Cheers - Hetan

Hey, sorry buot the multi-messages, webs went haywire and It never sent it according to my browser...so I kept sending it...and sending it...and sending it, lol. Finally got a message sent confirmation today. lol. Anyway, I appreciate your help in this. We need to get a dollar amount including shipping so that we can devide that number by 6 and know how much to put in...although I will suggest rounding up to the nearest 10 so that we can let you guys keep some for the site, for helping etc. Anyway, The advance copy thing was just a bonus hope. Just to sweeten the pot a little for HD, you know, so whatever on that front, he's just excted to have won a copy....anyway, thanks again for everything.
Some more from Hetan...HD pm her your info, when you get the chance. Also note that this is a huge thing Hetan is doing, she really is trusting us, by pre-ordering before she gets the donations so anyone who can't come up with the cash let me know and I'll spot you. Tehol can you check with Frook, he hasn't posted here in a while so may not know whats up...I know you guys are in the Inn alot together so....Anyway, more as I get it.

Frookie and I are in regular contact outside of the boards, he's in Wales for a family trip at the moment. I'll just pay his portion for now and he can pay me back at some point. Just let me know the cost per person, I also have no problem with covering for anyone else who may need it, just let me know. A big thanks to Hetan as well for doing this!
