@Owen M,
If we got another 2k backers per day (on the low side from what we've been getting), with 22 days left, we'd end up with over 153,000. :)
There will also be a big jump over the last 2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 200k backers. Though that might be optimistic.

@Poz while economics is scary for some, I think you meant economies of scale.
As far as Bicycle, I've heard of major restaurant chains taking over canning facilities (think Heinz) to output product (tomato sauce) for a month or so. Of course, things like that are set up quite a bit in advance. But.. Money really helps expedite things.
my guess is that we will hit 200k backers by the end of the campaign. We have 22 days left with an average of 4k new backers per day, plus a 10k to 20k backer rush during the last 48 hours.
@BruceP: Fair enough...I haven't been following the backer count growth since we beat RR.
On a side note, I get to pay attention to the comments until email comes back up at work...hooray for doing a job that heavily relies on email and tight schedules when the email goes down with 1hour left until deadline(email has been down for 2.5hours already)

Let's see some other campaign try and beat THIS backer total! :)
Thewarstore.com 2015-01-28T14:02:01-05:00
It just hit a few major media outlets on the web.

@Owen M,
Yeah, it's like that here when our networks go down (which isn't very often, luckily).
You can't deny it would be delicious. With that fudge, cookie crumb, delicious soft serve ice cream(no need for extra milk it's already thin enough)
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-28T14:18:32-05:00
Kicktraq seems to be back (but slow). EK is No. 1 on the top ten again.

@Peer, are you out?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-28T14:20:48-05:00
Huh? Wha? Collectors deck?
Luis Fernando Córdova Anaya 2015-01-28T14:20:56-05:00
Actually in English mostestest might be a made up word, but people in Argentina say "Esto es lo más" that could be translated to "this is the mostestest" . �
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:21:21-05:00
did you increase your pledge and change the pledge level or just increase the pledge only ?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:24:47-05:00
Refresh the story page, it shows there. Or in your backer history.
Peer 2015-01-28T14:24:51-05:00
@ Rod: I think one copy of this game is more than enough and I am getting more Kingdom Death stuff.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:25:39-05:00
Well, I hit it on the front page a few times and it didn't do anything. So I went to manage pledge, then clicked the $100 one and it updated my total automatically.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-01-28T14:25:48-05:00
@Peer, no doubt! Can't have all of everything right? Spead the love!
Amount pledged
$100.00 USD
Reward
THE COLLECTOR'S DECK
Two copies of both decks from the previous reward but one of each will be signed by the creators of the game. (So you don't have to ruin the fancy signed decks with your filthy game playing hands.)
Estimated delivery
Jul 2015
Shipping to
United States
so maybe we both got it at the same time before it got locked out again ???
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:28:28-05:00
For future releases or if anyone ever makes their own game... a deck of legends level is great. They need a super legendary level where whatever BS card you come up with ends up in EVERY game as well. Maybe at $1,000. :)
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-28T14:29:43-05:00
Someone wake me up when the update is posted. I need a cat nap.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:30:04-05:00
I have nooo idea how this works. Wonder if KS will just lie to both of us and one of us gets screwed. Of course, we'll exist in a state where both got it and both get screwed until an observation... A Schrodinger's Kitten Backer. :)
spaztastic 2015-01-28T14:30:14-05:00
@peer why not sell on ebay after you got em? I would have paid more than 100 for just the signed decks.
@Eric that would be awesome not that I would have the money to get it, but I would be interested in seeing what was created because of it.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-28T14:31:01-05:00
I actually coulda had a Deck of Legends, but all I could think of is... My wife will freakin' kill me.
Jeremy D. Huntsinger 2015-01-28T14:31:02-05:00
I just watched the Cnet video and wanted to chime in on some ideas that are game related. I would love more theme decks. I know it would be super soon to give us theme decks this soon in the products life line, but it is an idea. Have a Sci-fi deck that offers a new mechanic that only a kitten could come up with.
I have no doubt that some of the signed decks will end up on ebay especially considering the NSFW signed decks will not be sold anywhere else after this campaign is over.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-28T14:31:58-05:00
How do you know that Joshua?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-01-28T14:32:08-05:00
I'd spring for it, and make it the most absolute horrid card of the deck just to mess with people. Come in the comments section looking for suggestions... 'Jibbers', 'Mantis Shrimp', 'Death Boners', etc etc... then just have him draw a blade of grass or something. :P
@Eric if you do that you will have PETA in a total uproar, that being said it would be a great gag project to do on KS after this campaign is over. I would back it just for the sheer fun i would have participating in the comments that would be flying all over by PETA fanatics.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-01-28T14:36:26-05:00
Well I'll be damned. So it does, I never even noticed. Extremely cool. I may have to increase my pledge amount to get another. Thank you Joshua.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-01-28T14:36:45-05:00
110k backers!

Viral? This thing is the plague!
@Jocelyn: Or the internet...and explosions...and combining any of those triples the interest.
@Rod
It's gone bacterial?
&Eric A, totally airborne!
my guess is that we will hit 200k backers by the end of the campaign. We have 22 days left with an average of 4k new backers per day, plus a 10k to 20k backer rush during the last 48 hours.
It must have hit the news again or something.
@BruceP: Fair enough...I haven't been following the backer count growth since we beat RR.

@Owen M,
Yeah, it's like that here when our networks go down (which isn't very often, luckily).
@BruceP: Much worse when it's peoples pay on the line. I really don't like the calls about not being paid.
I think we broke Kicktraq again. I can't get it to update the EK page.
shall we start another betting pool for what time today the next update will be posted ?
I'll bet Josh's lunch that it will be in 3hours.
Hmmm my guess is when we hit 111 111 backers
lol sorry but my lunch will be gone long before 3 hours are up. I think it will happen around 1 PM PST
I'll bet a penny that its around 2pm PST.
I would have bet mine...but all that's left is a half eaten apple...make that a 2/3 eaten apple.
Guys, I think we broke kicktraq.com
I will bet Elan's left-over cake the update is around 3pm PST. :)
@BruceP, as long as its not fruitcake!
@Rod,
That would mean probably the whole cake, so no. :)
Or ice cream cake that's been left out. Though it does make a good milkshake.
*Plans to buy a small ice cream cake just to make it into milkshakes*
@Owen, lol!
You can't deny it would be delicious. With that fudge, cookie crumb, delicious soft serve ice cream(no need for extra milk it's already thin enough)
Kicktraq seems to be back (but slow). EK is No. 1 on the top ten again.
Collector's spot opening up
@Peer, are you out?
Huh? Wha? Collectors deck?
Actually in English mostestest might be a made up word, but people in Argentina say "Esto es lo más" that could be translated to "this is the mostestest" . �
:D
Thanks!
Thank you @Peer
No, just don't want to pay 30 bugs for a signature
You are welcome Joshua
@Eric did you also try to get it ? It shows that I got the $100 spot.
Odd, shows I got it?
Just got a confirmation e-mail.
@Eric & @Joshua
FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
How do you know if you got the deck? Where would that show up?
Dammit, I had it, but the page horked. I guess I was leap frogged.
(And suddenly I am reminded about the ancient joke about the sign at the nudist resort: "All residents playing leap frog MUST complete their leaps.")
did you increase your pledge and change the pledge level or just increase the pledge only ?
Refresh the story page, it shows there. Or in your backer history.
@ Rod: I think one copy of this game is more than enough and I am getting more Kingdom Death stuff.

@Peer, no doubt! Can't have all of everything right? Spead the love!
Eric click on the Story tab and scroll down does it show a green shaded box around the 100 pledge level ? if so then you also got it
Huh. Okay. I already have one, so I wasn't trying, what I would LOVE to get my hands on is a Deck of Legends.
Come on, Kicktraq, you can do it! (still not fully updated on the EK page).
Yeah, me too. But I might have to break someone's knee caps.
I got the email as well.

well for their next themed deck, I would vote for an Exploding Dr Who deck :-)
+1 for dr who. Have to deal with licensing but they got money.
Ok, anyone want to do exploding puppies card game with me?
@Bob It says right on the front page that the NSFW decks are Kickstarter Exclusive.
Doctor Who would be awesome.
@Eric if you do that you will have PETA in a total uproar, that being said it would be a great gag project to do on KS after this campaign is over. I would back it just for the sheer fun i would have participating in the comments that would be flying all over by PETA fanatics.
Well I'll be damned. So it does, I never even noticed. Extremely cool. I may have to increase my pledge amount to get another. Thank you Joshua.
People Exploding Tiny Animals.
@Eric ohhhh Yes that should be the name of the project :-)
Reminds me of the card game, Unexploded Cow. :)
Unexploded cow is a great game too.
Playing fetch and he brings back a stick of dynamite?
If I had any artistic talent at all I would so be up for making a spoof campaign on here called People Exploding Tiny Animals.
@Joshua
I'd pledge.
I would also set the funding goal at 1,000,000
As long as I get my profit share, you have my blessing.
and knowing my luck it would probably back fire on me and actually reach the goal
@Josh
That'd be great! You'd make a million dollars in pure profit after just printing off a few $1 deck of cards!!
/sarcasm
There has to be stretch goals for every 2 backers and each $25.00.
@Eric B, that could be for each card in the deck, the ks could be for the box itself!
And the only comments that are allowed are for more stretch goals. ;)
@Eric B
Why so few SGs? Don't you value the people who are the only reason you even have a game?
And international shipping would have to be free since you are making so much profit
Decks for every language
Every. Single. Language.
@Eric B, except english!
oh and don't forget the brail version
Don't forget a print-at-home copy to use in the mean-time. Also we'll send you some card stock and ink for free.
In fact, every card should have its own language...
Definitely need decks in Esperanto and Klingon.
And a free trinket with every card
Aramaic only. ;-)
You'd screw it up if cards weren't printed on indestructible precious metals
A free puppy
Not one update either!!!
...and free high explosives...
Solid gold puppies
