@Creeper: It definitely will be a rough week...being sick with tons of work dropping on you first thing Monday....not fun.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T11:01:38-05:00
Hello, Creeper!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-02T11:02:36-05:00
@Creeper, morning! Sorry you had a rough week.
I put a couple more updates on the doc this morning. I un-bolded the updates I found on the website so it should be easy to track. :)
@LZ, I had a feeling POZ would be most distressed by it. I'm pretty sure nothing would make that individual happy, including getting everything he/she wants.
Pretty much. Woke up yesterday with a bit of a sore throat(started popping pills at that point ) and progessed to worse through out the day. I blame it on the weather for going from +17 Celsius to -17 in like two to three days.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T11:07:24-05:00
Nope is/are spider-kitten hybrids. They're my latest and greatest new creation.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-02T11:08:46-05:00
@LZ, gotcha, nice addition. How did they get the name 'Nope'?
It's been something like 5 to 20 every single damn day. Plus a golfball hail. Still haven't fixed the car...
LZ, Nope is out of the question for me.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:13:49-05:00
@Great Mountain, yes, that weather turnaround sucked many buttholes! We got way too used to plus teens, did seem a bit erie in the winter to be so warm though! Hope you feel better soon!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-02T11:14:17-05:00
@GM, sorry you're feeling under the weather. :/
@LZ, that makes perfect sense. :)
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:14:45-05:00
BaKhan, last night, there was a legitimate request for EU Friendly. I'd say more, but most of it was in another language.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:15:35-05:00
@Creeper, I saw that, was somewhat sad you didn't remember my name though... ;)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T11:16:00-05:00
@Tsveta, that's why they're called Nope
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:16:29-05:00
did i mention the extreme lack of sleep? I keep walking into a room and staring at it before remembering what i needed to do. I'm lucky i remember my own name at this point. But i am sorry.
I used to do that all the time when I was working in kitchens. Go from one of the kitchens to the cooler, and forget why I went in there. Step out, get halfway to where I came from and remember.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:18:55-05:00
@Creeper, don't be, thats my job! It sounds like between this ks and your baking job, your taking more of a beating then your batter! ;)
I do love the bits of thoughtful commentary I see :D I'm unable to keep up with it so I miss Poz... Or not as repeat complainers in the "cheer the creator along" space gets old real fast.
Off for breakfast and packing. I'm hoping for a day without snow this week to drive home. Living with parents for a few weeks, even when you get along, can be difficult at 49.
In a sudden surge of hunger and due to a lack of caffeine and/or sugar, I decide to raid ProfF's cupboard. All I find is a 3l bottle of homemade ouzo. Mission is considered successful.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T11:19:52-05:00
Sorry, Creeper. I'll see if I can find a way to cure you
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:20:05-05:00
KS, baking business, and restaurant job. :(
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:22:02-05:00
@Creeper, oh yes the restaurant job! Sorry about missing that!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:23:58-05:00
But- the KS campaign is my happy place at the moment. Oh - I have a picture i took last night on the way home from work - we have a bunch of stray community cats in our hood. I had fresh kitty paw prints in the snow. d'awwww....

I'm off to the court house to sue the Professor for creating Roachen. I will log in this evening to see if the lawsuit (which I will win) took effect.
*vanishes in a cloud of kitten fur*
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:30:44-05:00
@Prof F- Did you get in touch with DDD about kittefying your Roachen?
@Hiep: With fewwer stretch goals there is more chance of shipping close to the original shipping date they stated. But with the numbers involved now, it will still likely be pushed back a bit to fulfill the printing/shipping obligations.
Lemme see... 700 l water, 100 kg chicken + other stuff.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:44:24-05:00
@Hiep, if Conan didn't have sg it would be no where right now. Look how successful this has been without them! Personally I'd rather have no sgs than listen to all the bitching about them.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-02T11:45:52-05:00
@Idle, I like your recipe... 'other stuff' that doesn't sound terrifying at all... ;)
And yeah, a nice home made chicken stock would be better than water. More flavour from it after all.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T11:47:55-05:00
@Owen, that's the beauty of it. Blame it on the "cold medication"!
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-02T11:48:02-05:00
I'm pretty sure games that add ten million stretch goals always intended to include all of them. They just keep spoon feeding their masses to keep their backers continually providing free advertising for them.
I'd rather them be up front.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T11:49:11-05:00
@Tchotchke, well said, sir, and good point
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T11:49:12-05:00
I've backed a couple of kick starters and have never heard of a stretch goal before. I just am happy to get what I originally backed.

Hiepnotiq 2015-02-02T11:58:50-05:00
Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be getting what I payed for. In regards to my Conan backing, all the stretch goal freebies are just icing on the cake. I only hope to get the non-stretch goals on time. Please don't forget I am already a Exploding Kittens backer.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-02T12:02:36-05:00
The problem with stretch goals and some higher tier pledges is that they also cost more and add complexity. The goal here was to keep it simple. Playing cards are existing technology, have been proven to work well in various environments and are understood by most people.
The kickstarter's appeal is that is low risk, relativley cheap and can be understood even by folks who don't know what wifi, iphones or clouds are.

"Kitten Corps is truly feared
Face it folks we're pretty weird."

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T12:14:47-05:00
Yes, Historian. Add it
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-02T12:14:49-05:00

Should I add the lines to the end of the Cadence or are we inserting them somewhere in the middle?
@Historian, it didn't seem to appease anyone. Poz was especially pissed.
@Creeper: It definitely will be a rough week...being sick with tons of work dropping on you first thing Monday....not fun.
Hello, Creeper!
@Creeper, morning! Sorry you had a rough week.
I put a couple more updates on the doc this morning. I un-bolded the updates I found on the website so it should be easy to track. :)
@LZ, I had a feeling POZ would be most distressed by it. I'm pretty sure nothing would make that individual happy, including getting everything he/she wants.
@chris/the historian - how would we know since the kitten corps have taken over?
All this talk of maple syrup is making me hungry. Good morning all.
The crime for inventing Crystal Pepsi is to be dipped in maple syrup and rolled around a fire ant homestead.
There's "Anonymous Nyan Cat" on the google doc right now, that's pretty awesome.
oooh, i want waffles. Thanks Historian. The last update I e-mailed to Cheetah Butt was about Shittens, Mermittens, and Manatittens, and Nope.
@Turner, Poz makes himself known when he comes to the Comments, despite our wonderful stream of thought commentary it's hard NOT to see his posts.
@Historian, I agree. Can you add Nope to the vittens on the doc so they can be added to the website later?
ALso- hello Great Mountain. Is that how your monday morning is shaping up to be?
Oh, nebermind. Creeper already told Cheetah Butt about Nope
@LZ, sure thing, what is The Nope?
@LZ, looks like Creeper already threw that one out for an update.
Pretty much. Woke up yesterday with a bit of a sore throat(started popping pills at that point ) and progessed to worse through out the day. I blame it on the weather for going from +17 Celsius to -17 in like two to three days.
Nope is/are spider-kitten hybrids. They're my latest and greatest new creation.
@LZ, gotcha, nice addition. How did they get the name 'Nope'?
Bad to hear that Great Mountain. We had no summer this year so not sick yet. Shitty weather does build your defenses up I guess :)
I thought about them and what I would do or say if I found them in real life. All I could think was "nope!"
Get well soon you hear?
Bleh, so sorry, Mountain
Well...normally me being sick lasts no more than a week. So I should be good by the weekend...maybe.
If you run into a nest of them, you can say, "Then I ran into a whole nest-full of Nope and I yellow-streaked it the other way."
Good luck, Great Mountain

It's been something like 5 to 20 every single damn day. Plus a golfball hail. Still haven't fixed the car...

So, you introduce yourself as The Creeper?
Well, I guess there's no use fighting anymore. I'm up, I might as well work on the comic
LZ- i think you've turned me into a zombie. I was up all night last night, finally went to sleep around 8 am-10:30 am.
I used to do that all the time when I was working in kitchens. Go from one of the kitchens to the cooler, and forget why I went in there. Step out, get halfway to where I came from and remember.

@Prof F- Did you get in touch with DDD about kittefying your Roachen?
Anyone have a vat(I'm talking 600+ litre vat) of chicken noodle soup I can dunk into to get rid of this cold?
no but I do have some Kitten noodle soup
I call it Chow mein
:(
@Great Mountain, chicken noodle is overrated! You're Canadian, go for the whiskey!
$5mil+ and we only got one stretch goal bonus =(
I am currently in the Conan Boardgame KS and getting spoiled by their stretch goal freebies though.
@Great Mountain Here you go, a 800-litre one, all chicken, most likely with noodles.
http://www.e-plovdiv.com/file.php…
@Hiep: With fewwer stretch goals there is more chance of shipping close to the original shipping date they stated. But with the numbers involved now, it will still likely be pushed back a bit to fulfill the printing/shipping obligations.

@Idle, I like your recipe... 'other stuff' that doesn't sound terrifying at all... ;)
Also, @BaKhan, if I could drink whiskwy at work I would...or a nice scotch. Those would be good for bolstering the immune system.
I would have used chicken stock for the base myself.
Well it was made for charity :) You cannot terrorize poor people.
And yeah, a nice home made chicken stock would be better than water. More flavour from it after all.
@Owen, that's the beauty of it. Blame it on the "cold medication"!
