Hey guys.

I’m Muerte, a shitty excuse of a TF2 player.

I had this bright idea of doing a rather…large…uncrating spree…1000 crates (500 Robo, 500 ‘normal’) to be exact, which will of course be livestreamed.

Yeah, some of you might be thinking ‘Right, this guy is pretty fucking stupid for wasting all that money on a video game’. The majority of the money invested in this incredibly stupid uncrate spree is ‘profit’ from trading TF2 items over a substantial period of time. I considered simply cashing out but thought, ‘Why not have a little bit of fun?’

Now, I done some ridiculously hard mathematical calculations using Pythagoras and some other fancy shit and figured out that uncrating 1000 crates would take just over 4 hours (assuming the average time for each uncrate is 15 seconds; 7 seconds to navigate to each key, hit use, navigate to the crate, hit uncrate; 5 seconds for the uncrating animation/annoying as fuck noise; 3 seconds to admire the inevitable strange I obtain from the uncrate and click ok). For this reason, alongside downright laziness in attempting to obtain the remaining keys required, I am splitting this uncrate spree into 2 segments of 500 crates. The first half will occur sometime this weekend, most likely on Saturday (20/07/2013) at around 2pm GMT (Yeah, that’s London time) – I will keep this post updated with the time I intend to begin uncrating. The second half? Well, probably in a few weeks or so…who knows.

Moving on…

I have decided to do a raffle too. The first unusual I uncrate (if I even get one…you better give me one Valve -___-), no matter what it is (yes, even if it is a Burning Team Captain) will be the item which gets raffled.

A $5 donation will give you 1 entry into the raffle, $10 will give you 3 entries and $20 will give you 7. If, for example, you choose to donate $50, you will receive 17 (7 + 7 + 3) entries into the raffle.
This raffle begins NOW. Yep, right now. You can start getting your entries in and myself alongside czar will begin compiling a list of donors. The raffle will close at whatever time I finish uncrating.
Please ensure you put your Steam ID (in whatever format) when you donate. This is done after payment has been sent. A page will appear with the option to ‘Leave a message for Mohsin Ahmed (me)’. Enter your Steam ID there and tick ‘Make Private’.
Failure to provide you Steam ID will simply make your donation anonymous and make it impossible to actually add you to the raffle. Entries made AFTER the raffle has occurred will be considered donations (with obviously no actual entry into the raffle…since it’s already happened…). The Indiegogo page will be up until Monday (22/07/2013). The target has been set at $500, which is the minimum Indigogo will allow. I seriously have no idea how much interest there will be, if any at all.

Alongside this, the second random ID to be pulled will receive my own Power Surge Ol’ Geezer. This may not be in my backpack when you check it – currently with someone else who is attempting to sell it on my behalf (yes I’m a lazy shit).

Money from the raffle will be donated to ghos7ayama. For those of you who are unaware of his current circumstances, please read this thread; http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/10185. ghos7 is currently going through some troubling times and I feel donating to him as opposed to a ‘general’ charity better suits my personal ideals. He is fully aware of what I am doing. For the more skeptical of you, there has been plenty of proof/evidence provided within that thread, highlighting the legitimacy of ghos7’s current circumstances. Proof of payment to ghos7 will be provided upon receipt of moneys from Indiegogo.

So yeah. That about rounds this up. Below is a list of important links etc. As mentioned already, the exact time of this spree is still being worked out. I will update this post as often as possible.

Tl;dr
– 500 robo crates uncrated ~ 2pm (GMT) Saturday (19/07/2013) [TBC]
– Raffle for first unusual I uncrate and Power Surge Ol’ Geezer
– Raffle money being donated to ghos7ayama (Read – http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/10185 )
– Entry to Raffle here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/incredibly-stupid-uncrating-spree
o $5 = 1 entry
o $10 = 3 entries
o $20 = 7 entries

EDIT #1: Due to a lack of trust, I will be updating the payment stream on Indiegogo so that all donations go directly into ghos7’s own Paypal account. I will provide screenshots and a stream of the change being made for proof.

EDIT #2: The time for the raffle will 99.99% be at 2pm GMT (UK time) on Saturday (20/07/2013). Proof of transfer of funds to ghos7 is here – http://www.twitch.tv/mediocre_muerte/c/2602255 . Spreadsheet of current donations with raffle entries is here – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajr-_86e51DadG9TQ1AtaGZqWmdqZzM3bWREVFcyc0E#gid=0

EDIT #3: ANY DONATIONS MADE FROM NOW WIL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BUT WON’T PROVIDE ENTRY INTO THE RAFFLE; THE RAFFLE HAS ALREADY OCCURED.

Anything for Ghos7

Quoted from Night

You don’t need to hit use to unbox a crate, just double-click on the key and select the crate. It will save you even more time if you arrange your bp with 25 crates and 25 keys per page of 50 items.

Oh sweet. Appreciated :P

Why the fuck wouldn’t you cash out?

Alright guys.

First off, massive thanks to all the guys that have donated already. I seriously didn’t expect to get a response anywhere near to what I’ve had.

Now, there are a number of people that, for whatever reason, don’t seem to trust me. This is real and this WILL be happening on Saturday 20th at 2pm UK time. You will have until the end of the uncrate spree to ensure your donation provides you with entry into the raffle. Any donations made after will (obviously) not come with such entry.

I have just livestreamed myself attempting to change the payment stream on Indiegogo so donations are sent directly to ghos7 himself. Due to IGG’s terms however, Paypal accounts that aren’t yet Verified cannot be used to collect money. As a result, the payment stream will remain as it is, with funds being sent to me (which I will then pass on to ghos7).
Here is the video providing proof, which also shows me transferring the outstanding total via Paypal to ghos7; http://www.twitch.tv/mediocre_muerte/c/2602255

So yeah. That’s pretty much it. Thanks once again to all the donators. To the guys that are skeptical, hopefully this has (to an extent) proven the legitimacy of this donation/raffle. I will livestream every Paypal transfer I make to Kyle as further proof.

I’ll see you all on the stream tomorrow at 2pm ;)

EDIT:
Forgot to post this too – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajr-_86e51DadG9TQ1AtaGZqWmdqZzM3bWREVFcyc0E#gid=0
That’s a link to the current raffle entries. Keep in mind there are only 2 people updating this; myself and czar. It will be updated as often as possible, so don’t worry if you have donated but don’t see your name on the spreadsheet.

2pm is in 1 hours time o__o

Alright guys. Was good fun :D
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone; czar, the donators, the viewers, the guys on mumble and everyone that helped me get the crates and keys required. :)
Due to being rather lucky with my 2nd unusual, I will likely do the remaining 500 ‘normal’ crates sometime in the coming weeks with a similar sort of layout.
I should also add, a total of $326 was raised (thus far – donations are still open til Monday) for ghos7. =)
Thanks once again guys!

The guy in google hangout was the shit lol
