Golden Wrench Destruction for Charity

[steam_news]

On August 31st WiNGSPANTT and 7 other Golden Wrench owners will commit a nigh unutterable act of brazen item-aggression so egregious that we shudder to think of the implications should the Administrator herself catch wind of it.[br][br][br][br]On that day 8 Golden Wrenches (http://www.toptiertactics.com/golden-charity/) will be destroyed.[br][br][br][br]http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/golden_demo.png (http://www.toptiertactics.com/golden-charity/)[br][br][br][br]Somehow these few have found the strength of will to reject the lure of Australium to serve a greater cause.[br][br][br][br]Over the last month Jon "WiNGSPANTT" Tran has spent his personal time and energy promoting and collecting donations for the Child's Play (http://childsplaycharity.org/index.php) charity. The more donations received, the more Golden Wrenches to be destroyed on August 31st. As each Golden Wrench is destroyed a global message will be sent to everyone playing Team Fortress 2 announcing the sacrifice. Everyone who donates will receive a place on a special steam group to mark their generosity.[br][br][br][br]So far the event has managed to raise over $5,000 in donations. Further contributions may very well secure the destruction even more Golden Wrenches.[br][br][br]If you are interested in participating in the Golden Charity event please visit the website (http://www.toptiertactics.com/golden-charity/).[br][br][br][br]The TF2 team knew that the Golden Wrench event would be controversial -- an experiment in the distribution of an ultra-rare item. We never imagined that it would empower a small group of players to benefit a much vaster group of children in need. We are constantly shocked and impressed by the creativity of the Team Fortress 2 community, but today we are humbled.[br][br] [br][br]Дальше... (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4151)
