Or for any charity. I just like to support The Cystic Fibrosis foundation.
But The idea is this----
Basically make a supersized map with a lot of characters, Like prison supermax.
Then sell off naming rights, 10 bucks a name.
Like in DiMs pirates map... I jokingly told him I would buy my name as a pirate.... But I got to thinking about it... lets raise money for people that need it with some of your incredible artistic talents!
Thoughts?

yeah I'd like to see a penis holding my name on that map, but admin wouldn't let it happen, so I'm not gonna donate!

never doubt an artists ability to slide something in...
I was in SE asia, and one of my guys wanted a tattoo, he was a real hardass and wanted a large tattoo for 30 bucks though he could afford more... he talked, threatened, and conjoled that poor dude till he got a 80 dollar price to 30... but the guy said in Thai "Ill do it for that price but you will have a penis on your back in some small location" My guy didnt know thai well, I snickered.
Sure enough he got a huge dragon on his back and down by the legs there is a penis that is blended in with the design.
I am sure if you donate enough to charity that one of these genius mapmakers could hook you up

Funny.
Got more than one on Rorke's Drift, even though it was unintentional. But the dog was.

well if a mapmaker wants to try this, and we get permission, I dont mind helping you out for your time.
Also the charity isn't that important to me, I like make a wish, cff, and breast cancer society only because I have seen some of the stuff they do first hand. But as long as the charity is a proven source of good action, I am down. To be honest I donate probably 100 times more a year than this map idea could generate, but I think It would be cool to make a map with a purpose to help others that need it and it would set a good precedent.

if this had to go ahead it should be something that relates to the majority of players and gets little attention in rl such as mens health - be that depression or prostate cancer

The most important thing that this does, is awareness. That in my opinion is the greatest good a charity does.
Make people aware that there are folks in the world that need real help real fast.
So to me, the charity we pick is a minor thing, as long as its a proven class A legitimate charity.
The major thing is helping people and bringing awareness to frankly people that are currently like I use to be. I use to think of only myself and thought "Screw charity, its a racket". I learned. Human civilization is a huge village, and there are people in our village that need help badly.

All joking aside, I cannot see a reason why this could not be done. We already have maps with players names on, it would just need to be a good idea that is well executed. As for the charity, that would be up to the admin. I would find an idea that you think would work, not only for the map but also for the charity, grab a map maker that could do it and then send a quick PM to on of the admins to ask.

if the admins decided it was ok, and I respect the system so this is a big if, I would pay for a mapmakers time to do this. I live for charity now a days.
the exact charity, give it rdrs and a group f his 3 followers.. that is the most un biased and real life mod ive seen.

But remember, a map idea has to be suitable for the site but stays in keeping with the charity. You will never be allowed to make a titty map for breast cancer. But maybe a Where's Waldo type map set on a beach could be done for this. As for mods or anything else, getting the basic idea down needs to be finalised first.

exactly, I am not asking for anything special man, but maybe something extra that would cost the site nothing but add tons to credibility.
you guys bust your ass 200-400 hours for free... lets make it to people that need help.
