U/DEEEEETTTTRRROIIITTT was the original person who conceived the idea of placing a bet for charity rather than with myself specifically.
I want to take this opportunity to specifically acknowledge that they were right and I was wrong. U/LocalPizzaDelivery is the one who inspired me to challenge this subreddit to this bet in the first place. Without your continuous memeing, I doubt this would have ever been possible.įinally I want give a special thanks to two users in particular: Once more, congratulations are in order for all 79 users who participated, and an even bigger congratulations for everyone in the Paradox community who held out hope for Victoria 3.
Victoria 3 forums verification#
I only ask that, wherever you send your donation, that you send me some kind of verification (perhaps through a screenshot of the confirmation on Imgur) so that I can add your name and total to the charity donation tally here for recognition. For those people I'll say that, had I won the bet, I would have asked that all donations go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR). Additionally, there were a few people who wanted to make charity bets in conjunction with myself. On the off chance that anyone here is Dutch (or otherwise has a Dutch bank account), let me know, and we can work something out that's even easier for us specifically.įinally, there have been a few people who have chosen to forgo their winnings, and I will not argue with these people, so long as they did not place a charity bet. Once I've done that, I'll link a Imgur screenshot of the payment confirmation next to the name on this list.įor the flat bets, please send me a chat message so we can exchange PayPal information. I want to prioritize the charity payments if I can, so please, everyone who hasn't told me your charity of choice yet, please send me a chat message or something to let me know where I need to send the money. I'll leave it here to keep track of my payments, and will ninja edit name strikethroughs to visualize how many people have been paid.
Below is the same list of usernames and bets from my previous post.
I want to congratulate all the true believers who had more faith than I did, and reassure everyone that I fully intend to fulfil my promises.

Paradox’s news release did not say when Victoria 3 would launch, but did say it would be available for Windows PC via Steam, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and the Paradox Store.It finally happened! Victoria 3 has officially been announced, and is scheduled to arrive at a yet -to-be-determined date. In the game, players take one of “dozens of nations,” not just the U.K., and lead it through a time of societal change, technological innovation, economic turmoil, and geopolitical rivalries. “ Victoria 3 is instantly one of the most highly anticipated grand strategy games in Paradox’s history,” the company said in a statement, obliquely acknowledging its meme status. A Paradox Interactive community manager took to the official forums this weekend to start a meme contest for the game, posting this picture of game director Martin Anward (which Anward himself tweeted out on Friday.) Image: Martin Anward via Twitter In the decade since, Victoria fans had beaten news or rumor of a sequel into a meme somewhat like the well-known Half-Life 3 meme. The most recent title was 2010’s Victoria 2 for PC.
