UPDATE: postponed. Post if you are still interested

Okay guys, I've run a LOT of roms on four different phones. From my experience I can see that not only is Turge one of the most talented rom devs at xda, but also one of the hardest working.

We all owe him! And he lives in my town ;)

Here's my idea...but first...

Turge: I can totally understand that someone might not feel comfortable doing this, and if so, that's totally cool. Meeting people from the internet is always a gamble. But if you are down, I think it would be fun. (I'm not a psycho, fyi)

K, here's the idea: we pitch in a little bit of cash and basically I take him out for a night on the town. It can be whatever he wants, whether it be a couple of pints and wings, movie, friggin laser tag, paintball, whatever.

The way I figure it, donations are great! but often money just gets gobbled up by bills or whatever. This way we are basically ensuring him to have a good time with our gifts because we are grateful for all his hard work!

What do you all think? Is it too weird, or is it a good idea?

We can figure out the details later if we are all on board.

Re: Turge appreciation day.

lol.. I appreciate the gesture but the real dev when it comes to Viper roms is m0narx (the lead dev for the international one x+ device). I mean, we all do our share but he's the brains behind this operation and without him, we probably wouldn't exist.

Fair enough, my man of humility. I'm sure this still takes a pretty decent chunk of your time, so its not like that info changes my mind.

Can you really turn down free wings and beer? Laser tag?! Lol

I wish I owed him, my lol piece of bullcrap xl doesnt like his roms for one reason or another, I've tried every version of viper going back to the OG days when it was first released and my phone acks lika lil chicken head beeyatch on it. I'm jealous of all you getting to enjoy his highly customizable goodness ala awesome cause I'm a flash slut and as you know one xl development is limited.. I hate this phone and the fact that the screen won't let me go to a different device, HTC has the hooks in me for now but dammit my day is coming to up up up to equivalent piece.... Turge, id make the Opie give you a handie... :D also can't wait to use some of your stuff when I go to one of the 2 devices I'm contemplating, I'm sure they're rad awesome tabular!

Personally I think this is an amazing idea :D. First of all team venom is an inspiration to me & the fact that he lives in Hamilton a city away, is just mind blowing. Thanks to him I've showed my friends the endless possibilities of a custom ROM. Being 18 and learning all about linux, and android has made me want to learn even more and maybe one day try my hand at a custom Rom. Personally I really appreciate turges& team venoms work and have always been happy with all his releases. I know he has to deal with a lot of vs but thank you for providing an amazing Rom with amazing functionality. It actually be cool to meet you one day turge :good:

Re: Turge appreciation day.

Set it up and I'll show up ;)

Sweet!

No trying to be a downer, but I'm not really down with a strip joint...hope you guys understand...lol

Any other ideas? I'm down with hitting Augusta for pints and nachos or whatever, or something sillier like bowling or go carts or something.

Also, my daughter is due to be born in two days, so I'm thinking this would be fun maybe right at the end of Feb or start of march.

    I would have enjoyed meeting a few of you guys for a few drinks and laughs because I live in Buffalo New york in the US only about an hour drive away but I don't have a enhanced liscense or a passport so I can't cross the bridge. Hope you guys have fun and maybe there will be another time in the future that I'll be able to make it.
