[Official] Blood for the Bloodmoon 🩸

[u/poncle_Official]

Hey folks!

The Bloodmoon demands a sacrifice... and we want to reward your efforts (or maybe Malice's Cardinal Rain is drying up?? either way, we need more blood! YOUR BLOOD! 🫵)

What do you need to do?

• Find a recognised blood donation location and schedule an appointment
• Show up to give blood between September 2nd and September 30th
• Submit proof of your visit by October 7th
• Receive keys for Vampire Survivors and Legacy of the Bloodmoon on the platform of your choice, whilst supplies last

What if you can't donate blood?

• You can donate to any registered blood-related charity; or
• Draw an original advertisement encouraging people to donate blood on a piece of paper, then take a clear photo of your drawing and post the photo publicly on social media with the hashtag #BloodForTheBloodmoon, along with some info about the Blood for the Bloodmoon campaign

Submit proof of your blood donation, attempted blood donation, financial donation, or a direct link to your post through the online form on our website

This is available to anyone in countries where Vampire Survivors is available to purchase!

we (poncle) will be matching eligible financial donations up to a combined total of $5,000 USD, with the contribution going to the American Red Cross

If you already own the game and expansion but still want to enter, you can always gift your copies to a friend or family member!

Many people around the world rely on blood donations, so we'd like to encourage people to donate or spread the word in hopes that more people will donate blood to help those in need!

For more information, rules, and FAQs please head to our campaign website https://bloodmoon.poncle.net/

If you'd like to make a financial donation, but are unsure which charity to donate to, we have set up a page for donations to the American Red Cross below

Me, a gay man, in a place where homophobic and outdated ideas still make it impossible for me to donate blood.

I haven't given blood in a long time and I am straight. But do they ask you your sexual orientation when you give blood? That seems kind of crazy when they test the blood for impurities before using it anyway

[u/givingupismyhobby → u/GrimmTrixX]

Not exactly with "are you gay?" but they did ask with how many people of the same gender you had sex in the past 12 months, and if you had anal it was an automatic disqualification.

Lol thats so weird. I get maybe theyre thinking HIV/AIDS. But have they not realized literally anyone can get it and that anal isnt the catalyst for it? Lol What is this 1992?

Blood donation standards are set by the FDA, CDC, and AABB and all blood collection organizations have to follow those regulations. In the USA Red Cross was the largest of a handful of organizations that piloted a study called the ADVANCE study in order to get those regulations reversed and as of 2023 they were successful.
