Well it doesn't really matter one way of the other, we have to go through one goal to get to another.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-04T12:02:44-05:00
RR is going to die before he finishes his books. I have abandoned all hope. That or HBO will ruin his series before he finishes.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-04T12:03:01-05:00
I think alot of people are missreading the stretch goals too.
Karl Hjalmarsson 2015-02-04T12:03:32-05:00
SO we need some photos on petticoats right? I can make one
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-04T12:03:34-05:00
for instance the 10x cat ears is not 10 photos of individuals with cat ears. It's 100 people in one photo.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-04T12:03:49-05:00
I fully believe Ellen would post the butt tuba tweet if asked nicely.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-04T12:04:28-05:00
@ Andre
I read those achievements the same way.
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-04T12:05:08-05:00
@BaKahn & The Creeper, I might get another cat someday. If I do, the first month will be hard as I will be going through a flood of memories about Neko & Inspector. (My other cat. He was a short hair tuxedo and such a gentleman)
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-04T12:06:13-05:00
They never said the people wearing cat ears had to be real you know..................
Too bad you can't thumbnail video Skype and do a Hollywood Squares style photo of 100 people wearing cat ears.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-04T12:11:54-05:00
@HarleyQuinn...Guten Tag, für mich ist es schon Nachmittag hier :)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-04T12:13:28-05:00
@DDD and Harley, good morning!
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:14:23-05:00
Good morning, and welcome to any and all new people! :)
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-04T12:14:28-05:00
@Robert, I concur with you except one point: There are 32 achievements. So we can skipp two and still get the stretch goal.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-04T12:15:04-05:00
@The Chameleon, good morning sir!
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-04T12:15:08-05:00
Any votes on whether/when Poz will be back? New goals added, but I'm sure there's now there's more concern about delivery. :P
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-04T12:16:24-05:00
@DDD, sure he will be back. The creators haven't adressed to problem of the shipping date which they are unable to fullfill.
Mesa Jetton 2015-02-04T12:16:50-05:00
Just joined Twitter just to make this happen :)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-04T12:17:15-05:00
@Mesa, thank you!
Karl Hjalmarsson 2015-02-04T12:17:46-05:00
What if everyone here mad a potatocat then that achievement should be done
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:17:46-05:00
Haha DDD. Great question.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-04T12:18:46-05:00
Mad potatocat, sounds like a potatten!

@Rod - no problem! I've been silently slinking around this comment feed for quite some time now :) ... the thanks goes out to all of you who are creating all this enthusiasm! Here's to unlocking achievements!!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-04T12:20:49-05:00
@DDD, Poz was back last night specifically asking about a shipping update...
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:20:51-05:00

Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:20:59-05:00
Is that product placement in CATS? Is nothing sacred anymore??
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-04T12:21:10-05:00
Maybe we could imply to Poz that the creators have said they will respond directly about shipping inquiries, but only if you also Tweet a magical enchilada pic to @gameofkittens
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-04T12:21:34-05:00
Someone posted a photo of fifty "Cats" dancers on FB a while back. We just need to get to 100 somehow.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-04T12:23:16-05:00
I've gotta go blow snow. See ya'll in a little while.
Dave Monteforte 2015-02-04T12:23:37-05:00
The photos will be easy, How are we gonna get ellen and george r martin? Wil Wheaton is a boardgaming fan, so his will be the easiest to accomplish
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-04T12:23:50-05:00

Ellen is a big animal lover...maybe she'll need some convincing that Exploding Kittens isn't something horrible. :/
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:25:31-05:00
I'm hoping both Ellen and George at least remark on all the people tweeting them. That would bring people to the campaign. :)
Nicole 2015-02-04T12:26:37-05:00
@Cha! I may have read too quickly, but you posted the link (so I assumed you put the site together) and it says "Again, just ask him to do it. His Twitter ID is @GRRMspeaking but be careful not to get him angry. We want him to keep writing Game of Thrones." I'm just being that detailed picky annoying person is all haha
I wonder if there's an Exploding Kitten backer in a live studio audience right now... getting her to say on TV would HAVE to count!
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:28:57-05:00
I would hazard a guess that Will would be easier than Ellen, but only if he checks his phone. I can't imagine him waiting more than 5 seconds to send that.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-04T12:29:30-05:00
are there any lesbittens yet? y'know lesbian kittens...
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:30:21-05:00
Oh man... we need to stop asking Ellen to tweet that right now. We need to START asking her to both tweet it and give out cat ears to everyone in the audience one day.
If we could start a campaign for extra funding that would go to a charitable animal cause, if Ellen would send the tweet...
But it couldn't be through kickstarter
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-04T12:35:28-05:00
@Nicole..aww ok, I'm just doing my lil part by providing a snapshot from time to time. There's a lot of people here contributing to this KittenCorps movement and creating/keeping updated the website, FB page, Twitter, and overflowing this comment section with much explosive kittens shenanigans & love.
Here's the Top 20 commentators and the ones keeping this afloat. I'm mostly here just for the music ;)
Peter 'General Calculus' W. about 2 hours ago
And here we go with the first Top20 for this exciting afternoon, smoking hot from the scraper:
2015-02-04 15:08:29 UTC

A. hipster 2015-02-04T12:36:10-05:00
we are never going to make 30 achivements.,, one of them is too dam impossible
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:36:45-05:00
Adolf, there are 32 achievements. Can skip two. (probably $10M is one...)
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:36:46-05:00
@A Hipster,
That's what people said about all the other records we broke. ;)
@A.: There are 32 achievements, and there is no such thing as impossible.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-04T12:37:14-05:00
@Tchotchke ...that's a most excellent idea about putting cat ears on all of Ellen's guests!!!
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-04T12:37:30-05:00
welcome back Adolf Hipster, thanks for cheery optimism!
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:38:57-05:00
of course, I don't know. If Will, Ellen, and George tweet out to their 50M+ followers, and we trend on FB and Twitter... could REALLY spur some new sales.
@Cha Oh honey you've just hit my limit of German, seriously... good morning, good night and I love you are all I know. I really need to take German. <3
Ok people I just spent an hour searching for my selfie with a goat, where are we posting these photos to get the achievements? Here, on their facebook wall?
A. hipster 2015-02-04T12:39:18-05:00
but i counted 30 achievements... and the one im talking about is the 100k twitter followers
About $100k to go to pass Reading Rainbow. That's amazing! :)
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-04T12:48:57-05:00
100k to Reading Rainbow... wow!
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:49:13-05:00
just under $100k. My Saturday guesstimate was seriously trashed over the last half day.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-04T12:49:14-05:00
I just realized there should be some kind of award for reaching 1k individual comments like @LordZombitten did and @Creeper & @Chameleon will surely pass soon enough.
@Tchotchke,
Yeah, mine, too. Looks like we'll hit it tomorrow, most likely. :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-04T12:50:30-05:00
We all know Mr. Inman is a smart guy, but does anyone else get the sense that this is also a subtle and well crafted social experiment? I mean, if they _offer_ a SG, that means they have looked into whether it is actually _feasible_, and likely already decided to do it, so now they're having some fun with it.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:51:10-05:00
We're a chatty bunch, Cha. :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-04T12:51:40-05:00
Out of morbid curiosity, what is my comment count?
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-04T12:52:56-05:00
Oh, I've said many times that SGs now are often used to generate excitement and free advertising more than a cost reduction.
Guess with a campaign this big the free advertising needs to see 50M people, not just your friends list. ;)
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-04T12:53:08-05:00
@GCoD,
Not sure. I believe General C posted a Top 100 list yesterday, though. I'm sure you're on there. :)
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-04T12:53:35-05:00
The real question is: are all those likes on facebook EU friendly?
@Silver, they had better comes with ambidextrous sleeves as well!
do you think they'll update as we unlock each achievement or do you think they'll update only once we unlock the next SG level?
They were unlocking as they went last night. I think it's more of an "as they notice" kind of thing.
#Cha! We want him to keep writing s/Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire <3.

Well it doesn't really matter one way of the other, we have to go through one goal to get to another.

They never said the people wearing cat ears had to be real you know..................
At that rate though we could create a photo collage of 100 total people wearing cat ears, and they would have to count it! #itstillcounts.
@Nicole... ? Did I say or do anything to make him not want to continue that ?
@ Evan
That or take advantage of the flashmob craze.
Yo.
How about a picture of a Google Hangout with 100 people in cat ears on it?
Howdy Dan
lol that could work.
We could do a video of some sort to.... maybe
Guten Morgen KittenCorps. :)
Too bad you can't thumbnail video Skype and do a Hollywood Squares style photo of 100 people wearing cat ears.
@HarleyQuinn...Guten Tag, für mich ist es schon Nachmittag hier :)

There was this 200 cat-ear photo floating around today... I wonder if it counts? It was for a Guinness record I think.
I wonder if Ellen actually runs that Twitter feed or if it's day-to-day is run by the staffers.
However, '"A butt tuba" is a palindrome,' IS a fun thing to say at face value...
@Dave: I think @TheEllenShow's would be the easiest, because I think it very much falls in line with her sense of humor.
Ooh, maybe Ellen will have Matthew Inman on her show! :)
I wonder if there's an Exploding Kitten backer in a live studio audience right now... getting her to say on TV would HAVE to count!
I would hazard a guess that Will would be easier than Ellen, but only if he checks his phone. I can't imagine him waiting more than 5 seconds to send that.
are there any lesbittens yet? y'know lesbian kittens...
@Ninjatten NSFW man.
@EricA: Fair enough...
Oh man... we need to stop asking Ellen to tweet that right now. We need to START asking her to both tweet it and give out cat ears to everyone in the audience one day.
@Andre: Yes, but a lesbian cat is just a lesbian cat. We take pride in whatever sexually our mutattens choose!
@EricA: OMG YES!!! She HAS the power!!
hello
If we could start a campaign for extra funding that would go to a charitable animal cause, if Ellen would send the tweet...

There are 32 total. Count again. :)
Post to Twitter or FB. Or both.
Also Twitter went from like 4K followers to 20K in half a day. At 200K backers, only 50% have to follow.
@HarleyQuinn...careful with your Guten Morgens then ;) Alles klar! :)
@Cha yes dear. ;)
Crikey, I see I'm going to have to hack my own twitter account to post it there as I can't remember my password to save my soul.
