Ze's Consolation Prize

Kingpatzer has started a new pledge to raise enough money to buy Ze a 'booby prize.' (I guess it's more of a 'sugartits' prize, we being who we are).

If you're in, then start the new:

PLEDGE

• US $10.00 - But only to buy a consolation prize when we win. I never thought we'd lose :) Kingpatzer 18:00, 3 August 2006 (PDT)
• US $1.00 - I think I mentioned I was a cheap bastard, but the truth is I'd just feel silly paying the same as if I'd lost. bobby_mac^{rap at me} 21:01, 3 August 2006 (PDT)
• US $1.00 - I'm with Bobby on this one. It doesn't seem quite right if I end up paying the same amount as if we lost. PTWhipplebang 15:11, 4 August 2006 (PDT)
• US $10.00 - I certainly feel like I got my money's worth of fun on this. Ze deserves some love. Snark 15:48, 4 August 2006 (PDT)
• US $5.00 - It's what I was in for if we lost, so I'm good for it if we lose, too. This has been really entertaining and I've learned a LOT about chess. Gotta dust off my board. Win or lose, I'm almost as excited to tune in to see Ze's move as to see 'The Show'. SaintPeter 20:00, 4 August 2006 (PDT)
• US $5.00 - Half of my pledge for the win. [bkeyport] See main pledge.
• US $ 5.00 - I think it should be "Chess For Dummies" by Graymon 07:18, 14 August 2006 (PDT)

TOTAL: US $ 32.00

Prize Suggestions

Also, we need some suggestions for the prize.

• One that doesn't rub the game in...one of the less expensive books from his list?bobby_mac^{rap at me}

How we get it to him?

Option 1) Send our pledge amount to Ze's Paypal account?

We could instruct him what to buy once he has the money.

Option 2) Send our pledge to one Fabuloso?

This has the benefit of surprise (assuming he's not reading this part of the wiki). If the gift is from Amazon, we can ship it to directly to his address without the hassle of finding out what his address is.

Option 3)???? Any other suggestions?
