Anyone got a rabbit and a weapon? I'm pretty sure strapping one to your back with the weapon might fall in the spirit of weaponized back hair, but with extra pun power!
yeah, I later on noticed :P my enthousiasm got the best of me!
Jeffrey T. Fritz 2015-02-08T15:18:05-05:00
Which achievements do we think we have accomplished?
* Tacocat pics
* Magical Enchiladas
* 50k twitter followers (confirmed on Twitter site)
* Weaponized back hair
* Goat selfies
* 50 cat ears?
* YouTube Songs
* BatMan Hot Tub
* Spiderman kayak (looks dubious to me...)
How can we help? Recruit twitter followers? Facebook fans? Can we get on local radio shows in the morning this week to push the funding and backer count?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-08T15:20:35-05:00
Ugh! so many people who don't know what a selfie is!
Looks like the Facebook likes and Twitter follows have stalled at 64k and 55k respectively. Guess we'll have to keep pushing those in the comments section in an attempt to convert more backers.
Jonathan Brown 2015-02-08T15:45:02-05:00
Not everyone (by a long shot) reads the comments. Need an update that goes to all backers that states exactly where we are on each achievement. This could then motivate a lot of people.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T15:47:20-05:00
Hmmm.... We need another 25-30K today in order to be within striking distance of Ronnie tomorrow.
Well, I'm not waiting for the update. Going to bed.

Would it be wrong to put together a google spreadsheet with links to "successful" challenge submissions as approved or awaiting approval? This way, we can all see the status and know how what needs our attention to contribute to?

Might be a good idea, better than flying blind!

We've seen what their definition of "soon" is. I'm not complaining much, but it seems like the grayed out goals would be easy to change.

@StevePhy. I have seen endless posts on thunderclapping this. You do know that the messages only get sent out on the 17th? Two days before the end of the EK kickstarter, right?
I say stop waiting around and do something about it now! 2 days before the end is too late. esp. when people are in different time zones or not prone to checking their messages that often. I ran into EK only after it was going for almost a week....
Some thoughts for you to ponder.
Clifford 2015-02-08T18:39:14-05:00
How will five Spider-Mans fit in a kayak? Could the five Spider-Mans be in more than one kayak?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T18:42:22-05:00
That one may already be covered, there have been a few attempts. Check Twitter, look for #Update9.
dns12999 2015-02-08T18:43:06-05:00
I was suprirsed that they got back to me about the count question. I am surprised at how many we still need. I think some we thought that were counting aren't for some reason :( Let's get those 15 MAGICAL ENCHILADAS and 10 goat selfies!!!
dns12999 2015-02-08T18:44:09-05:00
I've seen a few different spiderman in kyaks with toys or pictures of spiderman. but I doubt they're going to count those :(
dns12999 2015-02-08T18:45:22-05:00
as far as I'm concerned if it's not lit up yet keep doing it! Extras never hurt! especially the songs that you clearly more creative people are posting!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T18:45:23-05:00
If we can get another $10-15K today we'll be in good shape to beat Veronica Mars tomorrow.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-08T18:46:01-05:00
They're pretty good about responding on twitter. I think they're living there right now because of the achievement challenges
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T18:48:12-05:00
I saw their response to you LZ. Nice of you not to mention Poz by name.
dns12999 2015-02-08T18:48:19-05:00
It's frustrating that I'm sure we'd have enough goat selfies if more people had the #Update9 in the pic. I basically keep an eye on a feed with #explodingkittens and #update9 and ask people to reshoot with the #update9 in it. As an unemployed person it's the least i can do.
dns12999 2015-02-08T18:50:43-05:00
I think they like all the pics that they're counting so if it's not liked it doesn't count but I may be wrong.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-08T18:50:57-05:00
I thought it would be crass to mention him by name
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-08T18:53:46-05:00
@Clifford, it specifically states that all five Spider-mans must be in one kayak. I think the only way it will work with real people is to stuff five children or infants who are dressed as spidey into the kayak. The achievement doesn't say the kayak has to be on any water
Elan Lee 2015-02-08T18:54:23-05:00
Thank you so much for helping clarify the #update9 situation on Twitter. We have to be careful about making sure people are only submitting pictures that belong to them.
We're working to get through the Kickstarter inbox as quickly as possible, but this is a travel day for some of us, so we're not moving as fast as we'd like.
Maybe that's why it's not done yet... everyone thought it would be done by now...
Muss Puss. I don't know. I know a lot of songs have been posted, but I don't know how impressed EK has to be with them in order for them to count
I saw them say that the songs have to be real songs, so I've seen three that I think should count, but they might be a little harder to impress.
So, I had a short song that was an actual song, but I wrote two more verses to it. Should I try to do the full version? (see Nuclear Kitten)
Leah, that sounds amazing.
It's really good and you sing awesome. It was one of the first songs and one of the few I like.
@leah, why not :D
We want achievements unlocked! :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Anyone got a rabbit and a weapon? I'm pretty sure strapping one to your back with the weapon might fall in the spirit of weaponized back hair, but with extra pun power!
Well if a fan posts a reall made up sung song, then they should take it respectfully,
The Bathmen are so funny :)
Okay. Will see if I can get some musical accompaniment to go with it and get it posted this week.
Awesome, go Leah :D
Please do. And it should be the soundtrack of the mobile game if it ever comes out.
Reminds me of Worms Armageddon.
The enchiladas need to be more magical, I think. Lz' was floating. Mine had glitter and unicorns. I saw another unicorn one, and a Harry potter
would be handy to know what would not make the grade, enchiladawise.....
Mine was a disappearing one. With chili magic.
I agree, Miss Puss
Sarah donner posted a song just now
Ok, that HAS to count!
Thanks to @Elan I HAD to back another KS. *shakes head so smiling* Moonman reminds me of early lotsa things like Simon The Sorcerer
@LordZ: been wanting to do it, but if I don't know what will be accepted, it's kinda hard!
It's an awesome EK video...it must count!

There is a cat/kitten with her. God, epic entry!
It's a whole bunch.

Ok, Sarah Donner just won the internets for the day with that song.
I have done the impossible!
and that is?
@ Zombitten
You found a way for cats and dogs to live together?
You found your heart?
I tweeted the EK team with Poz's eternal question
You dog.
Oh no, my heart was never missing. It's right here! See?
which question was PoZ's again? :P
It... Has HOLES.
Well, of course it has! Blood couldn't get in or out without them. Also, there's been some scavenging
It has holes? A moth eaten suit? Swiss Cheese? Various political running platforms?
The things you could do with that... But I bet you did.
@Catz They're not called "running" for nothing.
Looks like the Facebook likes and Twitter follows have stalled at 64k and 55k respectively. Guess we'll have to keep pushing those in the comments section in an attempt to convert more backers.
