@Professor F did you mean March?
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-02T15:25:28-05:00
nope, I meant the planet
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-02T15:25:30-05:00
To make automatic counting if diverse items/wishes etc we could establish some kind of hastags in here. To write a parser for that would then be rather trivial.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:25:36-05:00
A suitable date and location will have to be selected. Preferably being off season relative to where we select. Will need a person who lives local to gather information in person.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:25:46-05:00
SN, I'm pretty sure he meant Mars, because it's so close, everyone can get to it.
Keith "Virrgo" Goken 2015-02-02T15:28:16-05:00
I live in Vegas, that's one reason I said there. And we have over 140,000 hotel rooms, so enough room for all :)
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:28:28-05:00
The con can run simultaneously at 3 locations. US, Canada, and Greece
Jim Mosser 2015-02-02T15:29:44-05:00
We are flying past obvious landmark numbers and no update from Elan. We are at 125% of the last backer high and nothing. 130,000 backers, OMG….
I understand that this project has gone nuclear and that people are most likely running around screaming, but a quick update to at least acknowledging landmark numbers would be nice.
And having Elan leave a comment is useless when it will be buried under other comments in less then 5 minutes.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:30:14-05:00
I say we also get a video montage of people opening their EK packs once we get them. Get everyone to send all the videos to one person and edit them all together and send it to the EK team.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:30:30-05:00
Keith - Vegas is good during the non brutally hot summer months and no where near the CES or other trade shows. Any ideas on time of year?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-02T15:30:51-05:00
Not sure if there is A place accessible to all interested parties, since there are obviously so many EU friendly folk here. Perhaps multiple locations. One Euro-centric, one North American, and one Asia/Pacific. Perhaps even a South or Central American location, if there is interest. All around the same time. Las Vegas is a great location North America-wise because air fair is usually pretty cheap and there is an astounding amount of stuff to do there not to mention the abundance of hotel space.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:31:00-05:00
@Jim Mosser most of his comments are archived @ the kittencorps website.

We are having a con? Can I bring an exploding kitten?

@Jim - a link to Elans comments can be found on kittencorps.com
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:31:52-05:00
@POT an alternative would be for EK to take over another con by having a room at several cons that already exist.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:32:32-05:00
not the same as having our own con but it might be easier to organize,
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-02T15:32:34-05:00
Will there be liquor at this con?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-02T15:32:37-05:00
If the EU people came to Las Vegas (or other near California areas) they'd probably finally get that free shipping.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:32:50-05:00
I like the idea of mashing a bunch of unboxing videos together to send to the EK team. Or post on kittencorps.com or both
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-02T15:33:49-05:00
@Jim Mosser, so will the complaining ones... just saying!
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:33:51-05:00
I think it could be a great way to be able to say "Thank You" to the guys responsible.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-02T15:34:18-05:00
Gotta say, I know nothing from cons. Never been to one other than a trade show. I'm also in my mid 50's
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:34:55-05:00
It's basically just like a trade show but more people dress-up
Or they are very geeky meet ups with people of like mind.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:36:06-05:00
Eu friendly trinkets yes.
Keith "Virrgo" Goken 2015-02-02T15:36:20-05:00
October is a slower month for conventions here. But could find out the best non-face melting time.and all flights lead to Vegas!! But understand not all could make it
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-02T15:36:24-05:00
I'm aware of the way things are done, I've just never experienced one myself.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:36:35-05:00
What they oughtta do is have a con con at some point. Then I could go con the con con...
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:37:10-05:00
@Great Mountain I have never had "bad people" at any con i have been to. Smelly people, uncomfortable people, people wearing too little, but never bad people.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:37:19-05:00
I'm okay with Vegas. I'd probably drive, though.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:37:59-05:00
@SN, he was referring to the con artists when he said they're bad people.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:38:19-05:00
There are always weekend flight deals from here to Vegas.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:38:32-05:00

Personnal hygiene is required along with daily cleanings.

Oh suuuuurrrrre.... When I mentioned a EK championship days ago, I got a little "Cali would be nice" and the nothing. It's fine. Whatevs. CHECK THE RECORDS!!
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-02T15:39:29-05:00
May I suggest the last week in October for going to Vegas? The weather outside is perfect and you don't get the blistering heat. I went once for Halloween and it was wonderful.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T15:39:32-05:00
I might need to re-mention that sleep was not had last night.
Ooo...there's an idea for the end of the kickstarter....mail the team a kitten cake. Make it look like a kitten just starting to explode...or one chewing on a grenade(like the card picture)
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:42:44-05:00
Soap on the rope and a car hangy air freshner too
Keith "Virrgo" Goken 2015-02-02T15:42:53-05:00
Yes Oct. is great weather, that's why CCP has EvE Vegas in Oct. now. They have been here for 5 years now.
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-02T15:43:07-05:00
@Lord Zombitten, then how about the third week in October? Or the first week of November?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:43:43-05:00
@Geist, those are fine
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:43:43-05:00
LZ - how many soap kittencorp logos on a rope can you make by October?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:44:04-05:00
@Creeper, should I give you some Nope to protect you from the Roachens?
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:44:10-05:00
or the 14th of september so I can convince the wife it's for our anniversary.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T15:44:32-05:00
Erm... Mailing a cake isn't incredibly feasible. However, considered printing the deck on edible sugar paper and placing on cookies.
Jim Mosser 2015-02-02T15:44:44-05:00
@Rod, @Andre, thanks, I knew someone would have an answer. Good to know I can see Elans comments. My question was more rhetorical and I understand that it would be buried and that Elan most likely would never see it…
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-02T15:45:01-05:00
Not around the first weekend of November.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-02T15:45:08-05:00
A bunch. It doesn't take long to make soap. The biggest issue I would have is getting a mold for it, but I know people who do casting, and I know someone whose son has a 3D printer
How about sugar cookies in the shape of kittens and explosives?
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-02T15:45:19-05:00
No, but we are fairly active and would inform him or others.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-02T15:45:28-05:00
RELEASE THE NOPE! but let me go hide in the corner, far far away from
Them.
Sean McLaughlin 2015-02-02T15:45:43-05:00
@Rod: Since the game looks like it will be as EU friendly as US friendly, I would say yes, but I'm neither a rep of either this project or Kickstarter, so I can't be quoted on that.

@SIlver, nice one!

Keith "Virrgo" Goken 2015-02-02T15:53:29-05:00
Yes If I had a ruff number of who was interested, I could get a closer price and size of venue and number of rooms that would be needed. The more the cheaper everything is.

@The Creeper, cookie neither
Merchandise would include a swap bag with a kittencorps logo soap on a rope to help ensure this.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that use of the word. :-P
Should this break every Kickstarter record, I say they should make a Kickstarter Kitten to represent how explosive this was...
@Da Wolf, is that soap on a rope for the Con Con?
I do support soap on a rope.
Last week in October only works if it doesn't go over Halloween. That's kind of big at my house.
Should just be axe body spray on a rope.
@Sean, would this kickstarter kitten be EU freindly?
Yeap and is required to be worn around the neck to avoid any malodorous emissions.
