If you don't have a credit card!

A few people have said to me that they would like to support us, but they don't have a credit card. This seems to be a common problem on the internet, but surprisingly enough, it does have a simple solution:

You can pay with a gift card. I sometimes use them on sites I am not sure about on the internet. You don't even have to use your real name or address.

I use Mastercard branded gift cards from Woolworth's supermarkets here in Australia (the green ones that say they are for online shopping). The card costs $4 and you can load them up with as much cash as you want. You use them as a normal debit card but with a fair degree of anonymity. I have used one at Offbeatr to back another's project successfully.

Caution: The Offbeatr folks tell me that some US issued gift cards do not work for purchases outside the US and Offbeatr's credit card processor is in Europe.

PS. Part 2 will have bad ends. Good thing you have checkpoints. :)

To misquote Python. "You don't so much fly as plummet."

PPS. For those who have not noticed, there is a new link on the right hand side to "A Servant of the Empire". This is the origin story for one of the main characters in the game. I wrote it for a story contest and well, the winner did note it as a story that he really liked. Maybe you will too. :)
