Telltale Games

NatsFan · 03/26/2007, 12:59 pm

Everyone reading this--go right now to maxforpresident.org and click the donation button over and over again, it just diverts funds from other organizations!

If you excuse me, I have to get back to clicking...

Emily · 03/26/2007, 01:00 pm

So you're the one!

I have been refreshing the page occasionally, warm and fuzzy with the knowledge that someone out there is clicking like a madman.

pixelat3d · 03/26/2007, 01:01 pm

I pressed it like 4 times around 60. I think it's really siphoning money from offshore accounts, and telltale itself is only an elaborate ruse for a very ingenious band of buccaneers!

edit:
What was the final? It rolled over on me after i hit 173

Soon there will be an accounting of all of Max's expenditures. Also, some other pages will appear in the future

Emily · 03/26/2007, 04:20 pm

The expenditures so far have been:

• Creamsicles - $188
• Bullets - $354
• A Kitten - $234
• Spinning Rims for the DeSoto - $387
• Golden Ticket - $175
• Acme Rocket Launcher - $150
• New White House Executive Chef - $100

(In reverse order.)

Maratanos · 03/26/2007, 05:53 pm

Directly embezzled from such wonderful places as

Banco Lavadero.

Oh, and Telltale's pensions, apparently...

Just like All Along the Watchtower ... oh god BSG was so good yesterday until they played that horrible cover. er ... carry on, no thread hijacking intended = )

we've now bought a girlfriend for mr spatula!

BiggerJ · 03/27/2007, 03:01 am

Max's also siphoning money from the D'ni Restoration Council. Let 'em pay! You can't just build a civilization! Even growing one is a bit flaky. It's best to give its people the power to create a civilization themselves, not just make it for the people yourself. Thus endeth the derail and possible Uru and Myst 5 spoiler.

Sp0tted · 03/27/2007, 09:50 am

Does the total refresh daily?

I seem to remember it being higher last night.

tabacco · 03/27/2007, 10:02 am

There is a different total for each fundraising goal.

octochan · 03/27/2007, 10:33 pm

Right now we're raising funds for a Jaunty Hat for Secretary of State!

Planeforger · 03/28/2007, 12:23 am

I just "donated" $1 from:
St. George's Books
The Communist Party of Rubacava
The Melee Island Bureau of Tourism
The Phoney Bone Mayoral Campaign

There are probably more video game references (like the Mario one), but I haven't seen or recognised them.

But surely there's a mistake - shouldn't Soviet Russia donate you to the fund? (you do know about Russian Reversal, right?)

LuigiHann · 03/28/2007, 12:24 am

I was amused when the first time I clicked it, funds were diverted from the D'ni Restoration Council

Nonono. In Soviet Russia, fund donates you!

(always end a Russian Reversal with "you!")

And speaking of which, why did Bosco deliver no Russian Reversals in Episode 4, Telltale?

If there's one and I missed it, let me know. Otherwise shame on you all.

Badwolf · 03/28/2007, 12:51 am

"Thank you. $1 has been "donated" to Max for President from
Ted E. Bear's secret vault."

Stealing from the presumably dead. That's harsh.

edit: Woo! I got the last dollar in for the Hush Money.

Indeed. Damn.

Cyberlink420 · 03/28/2007, 04:12 am

Love the Colbert Report reference in the poll. I knew no one could go long without asking if Max was a great president or the greatest president.

Maratanos · 03/28/2007, 08:23 am

Yes, there are more video game references.

The D'ni Restoration Council

Captain Bingo · 03/28/2007, 03:51 pm

haha!!! sapphire encrusted bullets!!!

Badwolf · 03/28/2007, 04:03 pm

Saving up for a dragon now.

Heh, the War song just started playing on Winamp at the exact same moment I opened the Maxforpresident site and noticed it's up there as well now.
