October, as some of you may or may not be aware is National Breast Cancer awareness month. I propose that for the month of September and October that half or all proceeds generated by buying the pink colors with MC be donated to www.nationalbreastcancer.org. Their mission is:
NBCF Mission The National Breast Cancer Foundation's mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms.

Maybe as a bonus, any user who has painted his mech pink and played a certain number of matches while pink could get a bonus of some sort. Like a 20% bonus every time you drop while pink.

I believe the game developers should adopt this idea, many of us have bought MC to use on paint, camo, mechs, etc. Let's buy MC this time for the good of women everywhere.

I for one will be rolling a pink mech (for the month of october), regardless of whether the community will or not.

I'd paint my mechs pink if the money went towards charity. As a pervert, jumblies are very important to me.

I'm more of a leukemia kind of cancer guy. Start my chemo in March. Mom had breast cancer 7 years ago, never came back. I donate a little towards it, but it is so well known its got all kinds of funding. I'd rather support lesser researched/known diseases personally. However, the idea premise I do like.

The reason i started this topic is because pink is a well recognized color in relation to breast cancer. i am not some hippie art major that will use any means necessary to promote my cause, that's facebook, not mechwarrior.

We should also get Snord's Highlander as the hero mech that month

After searching through the colors i have yet to see a "pink" color. the closest is light camo pink and we would need this:

The funny thing is gamers will automatically reject using pink, even though it's not THEM wearing pink. i really want this to happen. to see squads of mechs running around solid pink. shows you've got some balls too, pink blends in with NOTHING

Imagine if MWO made the news because of all the pink clad metal giants

Agreed. Hell I already have pink. Contemplated painting my 'pult pink. See if I could still stealth up behind mechs. The bright pink might give me an extra second as my pinkness fries their retinas...up close and personal.

As fpr the promoting awareness, FB is better. Besides they have real organizations on their for that kind of thing. I partly made the comment since I'm still reeling a bit, got diagnosed 10 days ago, heh. Talk about a slap in the face. At least I can go out gloriously in MWO *snickets*. Provided I could hit something.

I support this 100%. Great idea.

I'm moving this good idea to the Suggestions Forum. Strike that, the Suggstions section is more for game feedback and support... I don't know if this would be best there. I can ask some staff about it... and that might just so happen to ninja the idea into their heads

I suppose an MC-sale of some sort would generate donations...
