It needs to be something southern. 
Or if they want to make a ton of money, a pet that can vender things when you click on it. Or something even sillier. A pet name Dorothy that will portal you back home. I must have drank from the goofy pot in the lounge.

A big bowl of grits. Or a grandmother-ly kind of thing that has moves like “Bless your heart,” “hush your mouth,” and “Hissy Fit.”

Unfortunately, Blizz doesn’t approve of that ability it seems. The one TWW pet (Coppers) that had that ability in Beta did not see such ability carry over to live.

If we can come up with interesting ideas, I’m sure Blizzard can. Hint hint.

My first question is - which charity do you think Blizzard should be donating to? Is there one that is well organized, well respected internationally, and directly involved in this particular disaster?
Right now it is a lot of National Guard, Federal, and State resources trying to just get the roads open and basic living conditions stabilized with water and power.

That is a good question.
The only charity that gives 100% around here is the Goodfellows. Also known as the old newsboys. They give 100% to make sure needing kids get a Christmas. I know because my dad was one.

The “Send Poct to Beer Camp” fund?
Seriously, though, that’s a tough one. International causes are “easier,” because there’s generally an aid group organizing things, etc. Mainly, for situations like this, it’s primarily the US government that’s doing (and funding) the work.
They do a monthly pasty sale here. Saves me having to drive up to the Straits to get them.

Don’t forget that the red cross takes donations and helps many, many people.

Never mind, I just made a thread for my questions…
If I were in charge, I would pick a charity that operates globally, is not connected to a specific Government, religion, or cause. That helps where ever there is a need.
World Central Kitchen https://wck.org/
Founded by Chef José Andrés
They have been among the first on the scene stepping up across the world in natural disasters, humanitarian crisis situations,etc. They just feed people. Whoever needs food. That includes feeding all the local first responders, volunteers, State, Federal, and out of state help. They keep the helpers going and they do it by supporting local businesses if I remember correctly.
They are already on the ground, because of course they were, in the disaster zones. Any funds leftover from a donation to a specific cause, would certainly go to good use elsewhere.
Food themed pet or transmog would be appropriate maybe.

all of this is moot if Microsoft won’t allow it.

True. Microsoft probably has their own corporate donation policy. I have no idea what that might be.

Oh hi Mira
I was doing some research on Japanese Patent Law and decided to segue into Microsoft corporate donation policy.
Because I’m weird like that but I know y’all like my weirdness.
TIL :
- Microsoft have Disaster response - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/philanthropies/disaster-response Not sure if they’re responding on this particular instance but I’m sure they would be
- Their donation policy for employees appears to very benevolent - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/philanthropies/employee-engagement
- Employees select a charity and Microsoft will match their donations dollar for dollar , up to $15,000 per employee per calendar year
- Employees can also donate their time
- Employees can also purchase items to donate from the Microsoft store or a company store.
Now that last point probably isn’t really relevant for this disaster as (a) It’s too early to tell which resources they need (b) I don’t think there’s an organized system to manage incoming aid resources (c) The products you would get from that store. You can’t rebuild towns with copies of Microsoft Excel no matter how copious their manuals are.
There doesn’t appear to be anything stopping Blizzard employees from selecting an appropriate charity and giving to it. Other then the usual that is.
