With the launch of version 1.5 and several new game worlds, 2010
has been an exciting year for AirlineSim. Our usual modus operandi for
the looming Christmas season would be to run some games and giveaways
for our loyal playerbase. And although we still want to give something
back to the community, this year we thought we’d go about it in a
slightly different way.
More specifically, we got to thinking: simply giving away credits is a
nice gesture, but it’s not really anything more than that. While we all
play the day away on the Internet, from the comfort of our homes, there
are people who can’t be sure where their next meal is coming from; while
we direct our airline empires from the ground, the real world’s air and
seas are menaced by pollution and climate change; while we grumble about
hidden costs when booking a flight, many others are only too aware of
the hidden costs of political dissent. So, while we want to reward our
players, we’d also love to encourage everyone to help out a little over
Christmas.
For this reason, we’re going to be running a special AirlineSim
fundraiser: Anyone making a donation to a charitable organisation
working in the fields of human rights, environmental and climate
protection or humanitarian assistance between the 1st and 24th of
December may forward us a copy of their receipt (to
). In return, we will reimburse the donor with
AirlineSim game credits worth 5x the amount donated. Whether it’s a
small neighbourhood project or a global organisation doesn’t matter:
every donation counts!
We look forward to your commitments, and we hope we can give away plenty
of credits!
