I foresee multiple $5 donations-$5 will get you 10, $15-20 steps and $25-30 steps

[fed-up]

for those that want the most bang for their bucks

Donate at least $5, and get 10 "steps" to move any candidate(s) forward or backward.
Donate at least $15, and get 20 "steps" to move any candidate(s) forward or backward.
Donate at least $25, and get 30 "steps" to move any candidate(s) forward or backward.

1. the "Hillary Wars" are flaring up. with posters putting their bucks where their mouths are

this should be a fun one to watch.
:popcorn:

[fed-up]

4. I think the game is a great idea! Just wish I could afford to play. nt

[MrSlayer]

2. I probably would have gotten more bang for my buck that way.

I got 28 for $15. Would have had at least 30 for three donations, wish I'd have thought of this.

[fed-up]

5. Lately I have had to learn to stretchhhhh a dollar as far as possible.. :) nt

[SoCalDem]

11. 5 $5s will get you 50 PLUS 5 chances for the bonus stuff

same $25 for one donation of 30 :)

[MrSlayer]

12. Yeah.

I just did another fiver and got 24 steps. I kind of feel ripped off on the first one. Heh.

[gateley]

16. Me too, but Biden had zero (the only candidate who didn't have ANY) so I

rushed in to help him! Next time I'll be wiser.

3. It's fun and all green. Would you rather count big bills?

[SoCalDem]

6. Yep. we sell tickets every week 18-$5

but at the end of our league when BIG bucks ar the norm, we up the ante to get the big money

$20----105
$15----75
$10----45
$5------18

7. How do you know it's not cumulative? (nm)

[karlrschneider]

9. I think the OP is supposing/hoping it IS cumulative!

???

[karlrschneider]

8. I think I wasted 10 steps.

:D

Oh well...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. I saw that and was wondering if we only get steps with our first donation?

If not, I'm breaking mine up into $5 donations for more steps. :P

[MrSlayer]

13. No, I did a second one and got more.

You can break em up.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Perfect!

That's what I wanted to get clear before I donated.

Thank you! :)

[Catchawave]

14. I donated 35 and thought I was getting 70 steps....!

I got 39.

Yikes, my math skills suck.

[Suich]

17. My math skills are pretty good,

but I can't for the life of me figure out how they came up with 39!

:shrug:

[fed-up]

18. Bonus steps?? nt

[Catchawave]

19. Yes, I forgot to include those.....

I'll probably be donating about $12,000 this cycle :rofl:

[babylonsister]

21. Well that's a nice round number!

:spray:

[SoCalDem]

22. $5 x 7 separate donations would have gotten you 70

plus 7 chances for a "bonus"..

[Catchawave]

25. Yes, just figured that out ...

Skinner's going to get to 1,000 donations pretty fast !

I misread thinking 10 steps for every $5. Maybe this will help someone,
:silly: me.

[Duer 157099]

20. I thought about this too, but then...

When I went to donate, I didn't even see $5 as an option, just $10 and up.

Also, there's a $1 surcharge for each donation, using Paypal (which I use).

I just did a $25 and got 49 steps, which I should have used one at a time (to increase odds of getting the hidden bonus things, right?) but I blew them all in a couple chunks.

[SoCalDem]

23. Did you see what I did??

:rofl:

[Duer 157099]

24. Heheh, it could have been worse I guess

So go buy more what are you waiting for? :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

26. To donate less than $10

You have to click the 'other' option at the bottom and fill it in manually.

[Duer 157099]

27. Ah thank you. If only I learned to read instructions completely

But that's just not my style, apparently.

[Duer 157099]

28. Now I'm thinking that this would have been more fun without the "twists"

It's too random now.

It would have been interesting if it had been a straightforward run (with backward steps as the only tricky option). imho. maybe.
