The amount of shit that had to happen for this conversation to be as confusing as it was for b4nny is incredible to me.

Unfortunately we could not get anything signed by Batman but we were able to get the next best thing.

1 Loose Cannon (Gift from Robin Walker)

Hi guys.

The event schedule is finalized and we've started taking donations. For more info see here:
http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7091-tip-of-the-hats-starting-tomorrow

If you guys would like to play or participate in any of the events there are a couple options:
1.) Donor spots full thanks!
2.) Idle in our mumble server. There are going to be specific channels for some of the events, but there is a channel for reserve players in case I need people to fill holes. Join the "Green Room" Channel and just chill until I summon you :P

Mumble info:(There will NOT be a mumble cast for this event - watch the stream! This is only for players.)
Mumble IP: chi.tragicservers.com
Mumble Port: 64738

3.) Watch the stream! Certain activities like Pubbing, Prophunt, Pyro Dodgeball, and some viewer lobbies will be announced in chat and info will be given there.

I appreciate all the donations we received, and the majority of the content has some pretty impressive lineups. I would really like if I had some people I recognized available in this mumble in case I need emergency replacements.

Thanks a lot guys!

Tip of the Hats has officially started accepting donations! The stream is live starting Saturday at noon. For more info see here: http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7091-tip-of-the-hats-starting-tomorrow

There are a few specific items that we had players sign that we didn't feel fit into the other categories and need some special treatment. To generate donations with these we are holding silent auctions. Each auction will have a separate thread. The first post in each thread will detail the entire contents of what the top bidder will receive for that particular auction.

Bidding:
Bidding starts at $10, MAXIMUM bid increment of $20, MINIMUM bid increment is $1. The auctions end on Sunday at 11PM EST and we will announce the winners during the last hour of the stream. Threads will be locked at exactly 11PM EST. If the highest bidder declines to donate that amount we will go to the next highest bidder until a donation is received.

Items "signed" are gift wrapped and will be traded to you after donating, and will be show "Gift from: <current steam alias>"

Items "crafted" will simply say "Crafted by: <current steam alias>"
