Popular Post The Mad Titan Posted May 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hello everyone, This post is entirely OOC, and regardless of ones' thoughts on BK or myself I come to you hoping that the P&W community can come together and support one of their own. Many of you may know @Biel, and his signature line "Disband X and join BK". What you may not know is he is a student in Caracas, Venezuela, and the situation around him has been getting progressively worse. The news stories we read in our news papers are unfortunately tru and Biel is a living, breathing example of how bad it has gotten down there. The true catalyst for this post was Biel recently being injured in the protests, and needing money to help pay for his medical bills. He is likely to need surgery, and given the current events that is a risky proposition. Any bit of foreign money is useful in acquiring the needed aid, as well as providing food for his family. For context, fifty American dollars can provide a meal for his family of four for a month. With this in mind we come before the P&W community to look for help. While I would make a full gofundme, pay pal is ultimately the only way for Biel to actually receive anything as go fund me is not available in Venezuela. If he was to have a gofundme established it would require a BK member establishing one and sending him the money. With that in mind we decided sending any money received directly to Biel is ultimately better for all involved. I have verified his identity and injury personally, and I have also attached pictures to this post to prove the legitimacy of this. If you have further questions regarding this feel free to contact myself or Biel on discord. His PayPal is: [email protected] Thank you for your help and generosity. Any amount truly makes a difference. Picture taken of Guaido during protests. Anti-Maduro soldiers taking the streets.

Administrators Popular Post Alex Posted May 8, 2019 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 I am just going to state now, for the record: I have not been notified of this, and I have not verified anything stated in the OP myself. I would caution everyone to be skeptical and wary of the situation before donating money as a matter of pragmatism and common sense. I am going to inquire further about this, as if this situation is true, I am open to allowing this type of post; however, in general we do not allow solicitation on the forum (or in-game, or on Discord.) 14 Quote Is there a bug?

Fluffy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 We also have a member from Venezuela so I can understand how awful it's getting there, I'll probably throw some money their way. Take care 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Popular Post Alex Posted May 8, 2019 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 At this time, I have still not heard from Biel. While based on IP history of Biel's account in-game, it does suggest to me that the story is true (and thus I've left this thread open so far) I just want to again reiterate that I am not condoning the original post as factual, nor can I confirm that the PayPal e-mail address given is actually Biel's PayPal account. Basically, you are donating at your own risk. I really have no way of knowing whether this is a big fraud or a real story, therefore you should take everything with a grain of salt. And again, I am not opposed to helping, and should I find more convincing evidence that the above story is true, I will be donating myself. However, I believe it is wise to advise caution at this point about sending money to strangers on the internet. 12 1 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Hiroshima Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Does he support Maduro? Also, would be great if he could post some pictures proving that he’s injured. I have a friend with a wife stuck in Venezuela, so I know that the medical situation there is dire. For those of you that don’t know, if you go to a hospital, you have to pretty much bring your own medical supplies for the Doctor to use or pay in advance so the Doctor can afford to purchase medical supplies. Something as necessary as running water is not available at a lot of medical facilities. 1 Quote “I'm cheap and enjoy butchering” - Manthrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Popular Post Alex Posted May 8, 2019 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 Biel has provided me with an image of him and his injury, as well a photo of his ID card so that I can verify it is him. I still can't promise everything is 100% true, but from all the information I have been able to gather, @Biel's story checks out. I'll be donating some money, and likely tomorrow I'll make a larger announcement to the whole community to spread awareness. 28 4 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Popular Post Biel Posted May 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 HiHo. Biel here, this is some of what i said to Alex, excluding my DNI and the picture of myself because i don't know how the community will react (remember that i'm such an idiot/troll in-game, well i don't know how people will treat me after knowing how i am irl). So i come to you as a Diego, the guy behind the mask, behind Biel. I think everything is explained in the pictures, if you want to ask me anything, you can PM me in discord. As i've been telling BK, i really don't like to do a thing like this, literally begging for money, but this time it's an impasse to me. I want to apologize to all Orbis for this. 29 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gaius Julius Caesar Posted May 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 You aren't begging, mate. You are a man asking for help, there is no shame in that. There is never shame in asking for help, I only wish I had the ability to help you, mate. I'm sorry that I can't help you when you need help, Biel. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mad Titan Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Im getting a couple questions on why we used direct PayPal and not GoFundMe. Essentially GoFundMe isn't available in Venezuela, and would require it going to an American bank account first. Most of the GoFundMe's you see for Venezuelans are family who then send it over. This would mean giving the money to someone else in BK to then send to Biel, which for obvious reasons we weren't comfortable with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artifex Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You're not the only one with Venezuelan friends in precarious situations. I have two buddies in Venezuela, and I haven't heard from either in months, going from talking with them every day. They didn't beg for money, nor did I ever beg on their behalf, and they were/are starving and/or injured at various times. Send what you can, that's what I did, but don't ask others to carry a burden you won't yourself, especially not strangers... It's simply unbecoming. That being said, Biel has my sympathy, as I've been told for many hours how bad it is there, and how terrible the socialists have made the situation, and I hope Venezuela frees itself from the tyranny it currently faces, but as it stands now, I have my own little Venezuelans to worry about and no time or money to give to a stranger. 1 23 Quote Love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xonera Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 We have our own Venezuelan citizen in our alliance, so I can understand the situation. Best of luck to Biel, and I hope he is able to receive the care he needs. I'll keep him in my thoughts in the days to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
