Idea for us fools

[Bigcracker]

So I was reading the star citizen subreddit and apparently if you got fooled on April 1st you will be getting a $5 gift card tomorrow or so Ben says..

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/4et269/psa_5_dollar_gift_card_for_being_fooled_will_be/

So maybe if everyone wants.. we could pool our $5 dollar gift cards up to one of the staff for a totally rigged! I mean not rigged give away of some sorts for a big fancy ship?

Also to check if you are a fool and don't know it.
My RSI -> My Account -> Profile. Change your flair under "Display Title".

Yay! Finally I make money off of being stupid.... willing to offer mine up

I thought it was a coupon, so you can't transfer it to someone else. I could be wrong though, but it seems like they would discourage being able to pool a bunch of $5 vouchers into a large ship. They want to buy a new $150 ship, but you justify it with $5 off

The way I saw it was CIG apologizing for teasing us with the Benny skin, so gave us $5 to buy our own skin.

Indeed, it's a coupon. Unfortunate.

I got fooled, but I didn't try to buy it...
because I was all "Hey... haw haw haw.... they fooled me" and left the page... without trying to buy nothing..
cause I have no money...

sucks for me

 

[JeffCraig]

Haha, yes, I've been fooled!

I'm totally willing to gift my $5 to the cause.

Step 1: Buy ship skin with $5 gift card
Step 2: Gift ship skin to @Bigcracker
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Melt all the ship skins down for store credits and use the credits to buy a ship for a giveaway.

Would not gift to me would need someone like Black Sunder, SeungRyul or even the great and glorious Montoya. But if its a coupon might be difficult.

They have sent out the coupon codes!

Check your email.

 

[Black Sunder]

Got my coupon code!

I got mine and would be willing to donate to get a really big ship. It would need to be called the Nimbus and have the sexy Zapp Brannigan in a sensual command position.

Can skins be melted? My best guess is that we all buy skins and gift them to one guy. But Idk if it works like that.

I have no idea... Someone who knows how all that works would need to coordinate it. Maybe get in touch with one of the Org leaders to start a poll and thread so it is more official?

Melt value of $0.00 if bought with coupon.

I'd just pool codes and CCU straight up in $5 increments for bigger ships.

Only one code per account. They have their ducks in a row.
