First of all, I’d like to congratulate both Ascent and TLR for reaching their fundraiser goals, and to thank everyone in the community for making it happen. If you haven't heard, the production crew is also running a fundraiser that you should all go check out as well. With all this coming together, i55 is quickly shaping up to be the best TF2 LAN tournament we’ve ever seen.
Until recently, we too believed that we had met our fundraiser goal. However, after recent developments it has come to our attention that over $1300 donated to our i55 fundraiser is going to be refunded. At this point, it’s no secret that the funds in question were donated by MedRed, who, after we picked up ash as our pocket, is no longer comfortable supporting our team due to ash’s repeated immature and offensive comments made on stream. The refund is understandable, justified, and I give you all my word that it will be done. I’d also like to apologize to everyone and anyone who has been hurt by any hateful comments made by myself and the rest of the team. As the team leader I will be taking full responsibility for this situation, the aftermath, and the search for a solution. I promise that from now on we will strive to maintain professional conduct without losing the personality of the team that many of you guys have come to know and love.
Obviously this is coming very late in the game, and we admittedly have known about it for a few days, but we decided to wait until the other donation drives were finished as to not distract from them getting paid up as well. Now that that’s happened, we will be starting another fundraiser in order to try to get ourselves back up to the initial $6000 goal. We will no longer be promoting the IndieGoGo campaign, but until the campaign actually closes on July 1st, you can still donate there and claim the perks associated.

"OMG clockwork touched my scattergun!" - Weapon signing from a Froyotech member of your choice. (Item and gift wrap must be provided)
According to recent forum posts there are still donators from i52 fundraiser that never had their item(s) signed. Might want to sort that out before you start taking more money from the community.

that's through no fault of their own. item signing/trading is a fickle process that gets worse when you're dealing with 300+ at a time; some are bound to slip through the cracks.

So how does this item signing work? Are we supposed to include something in the donation with our steam account or what?

you'll have to ask banny, but the process I followed for i52 worked something like this:
- send out emails asking donators to submit a trade request with item/gift wrap to a dedicated trade account, along with following info: steam community link, personal trade offer URL, and the name of the player to sign the weapon
- wait for reply and trade offers
- attempt to accept trades, mark down donator info and status (error accepting/accepted)
- if successful, offer the items to the signer and change status to 'sent to sign'. if not (steam error 50% of the time), go back to step one and ask donator to resubmit the trade request with the item unequipped.
- wait to receive items back from signer
- receive items back from signer and send out trade offers to donators, change status to 'delivery attempted'
- if trade's accepted, change status to 'completed.' if trade expires or can't be accepted (or some other error), contact donator and add to steam friends to manually transfer item
repeat all steps above every 2 weeks for months

Understood about the above run-around with virtual items and expiring offers. I just don't believe item signing should be offered as a reward when the promised reward can't be guaranteed. For the sake of the kids and for Enigma's sanity.

can confirm, Tip of the Hats 2013 was like 90% trying to handle the signed stranges; between trying to catch people online and having Steam work, it was pure masochism
edit: the fact that it's solely Froyotech signing and not a ton of other invite players too means that it should be more than reasonable (especially since it's his own team)
