Lauren, we haven't yet. We're not at the money goal, the backer goal, or the 100k Facebook or Twitter goals.
Lauren Moinet Wiersema 2015-02-09T17:49:36-05:00
and the 100,000 twitter followers
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:49:43-05:00
Sorry @Lauren. Not a chance. WE need too much money, too many FB and Twitter followers and 5 spidermen in a kayak..
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T17:49:57-05:00
We can only miss 3, and there are 4 we haven't hit yet, so even if all the others have been met, we would still only be at 29.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:50:55-05:00
more than 4 we haven't hit yet at last count.
Lauren Moinet Wiersema 2015-02-09T17:51:38-05:00
Hopefully the thunderclap will help
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T17:52:28-05:00
PoT, I just mean that there are four that we can confirm by looking at the objective numbers as having not been met. There are other goals that are hazier and harder to know because it requires the Exploding Kittens team to decide when they're met. But, even if all of those were met, which they probably aren't, we would still be short of 30.
Brandon Barlow 2015-02-09T17:52:49-05:00
Will the deluxe box be big enough to hold all the cards sleeved?
Amanda, unfortunately, they want real people in/on a kayak.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:53:48-05:00
We'll get the enchiladas, and the YouTube videos soon. We probably won't get to 10Mil. The Spidermen in a kayak is a lot harder than it sounds unless you have a bunch of really small spiderman wanna-bes around.
Amanda 2015-02-09T17:54:22-05:00
They didn't actually say that....so totes not cool then
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:55:11-05:00
Ahhh... I understand Catness.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T17:55:21-05:00
They did tell Dave that all five people don't have to be in the kayak. Can be on top off, etc.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T17:55:31-05:00
If someone had access to five kids, they could knock it out. The only time I've had any feelings of regret to not be a mom of five kids.
Kara Lee 2015-02-09T17:56:31-05:00
Does the kayak have to be in the water? I have a kayak, and some people are coming over tomorrow that I may be able to talk into getting into it, But it won't be in water...
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:56:47-05:00
@Creeper. I hadn't heard that. It'll be much easier then.
James Valenti-Jordan 2015-02-09T17:57:09-05:00
wait, i thought spiderman was fiction; and even then, don't we have to go to golden age multiverse to find 5 spidermen? that seems like a tall order.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:57:52-05:00
There is no water requirement listed, so my guess is no. Besides, that would be dangerous. I don't think they want us to risk drowning for a goal fulfillment.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T17:58:02-05:00
Kara- shouldn't have to be in water. Near water? Print off 5 spiderman masks, or get cheap one from party supply store and have everyone wear red shirts
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T17:58:40-05:00
PoT, there's no water requirement, and it seems like as long as there are 5 people in or on top of the kayak it'll count.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T17:58:53-05:00
You missed the ten batmen in a hot tub picture didn't you James?
Amanda 2015-02-09T17:58:53-05:00
Kara I'd just do it if you can...worst case it doesn't count....
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T17:59:19-05:00
Kara, you can do it!!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T17:59:28-05:00
Stick their feet in it, someone small lay on top, etc? All touching it, in it or on it
James Valenti-Jordan 2015-02-09T17:59:33-05:00
i got it! 5 spidermen holding a kayak, but flip the picture before posting!
James Valenti-Jordan 2015-02-09T18:00:24-05:00
if they all hold it above their head, and then you flip the picture, it looks like they are all doing handstands on it?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T18:00:43-05:00
James, that's really funny! But Kayaks have openings for where the person is meant to go and most only hold one or two people. The EK team might accept a canoe, but who knows... maybe not.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:00:46-05:00
And DO NOT FORGET to have a sign that's has #Update9 on it.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:01:14-05:00
It must be legible in the photo.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:01:16-05:00
And Kara for the love of all kittens- DONT FORGET THE SIGN
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T18:01:30-05:00
PoT, great point! Please no one go through all the trouble of getting the Spiderman photo only to forget the sign!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T18:02:08-05:00
Alright, cats and kittens. It's quitting time. Chat later!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:03:02-05:00
@Catness, g'night!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:03:07-05:00
And then, as long as your up... could ya get say a hundred of your closest friends to show up and wear cat ears while you snap a pic?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:03:34-05:00
G' Night Catness
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:04:04-05:00
With a sign...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:05:36-05:00
PoT- I think a few people are organizing 100 cat photo ops this week
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:06:12-05:00
Okay. But the more the more.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:06:40-05:00
With a sign...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:06:49-05:00
Agreed
Kara Lee 2015-02-09T18:11:45-05:00
Cross my heart, and I swear never to play with another ball of yarn again if I forget the sign.
Josh Kimbell 2015-02-09T18:12:28-05:00
So where are we at exactly with the stretch goals? It's really hard to keep up. Also are we anywhere close to most comments for a kickstarter ever?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:12:42-05:00
Thank you Kara.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:13:43-05:00
@kara- we will come and find you if that happens. And smack you on the head with signs.
@josh no where near most commented- 350,000+on another campaign
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-09T18:14:23-05:00
I think I've figured out why I keep drawing everything in the lab as if looking down at everything that's going on. I'm tall so that's how I see everything in the lab
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:14:25-05:00
@josh- hopefully Kara can get the kayak one taken care of. Then it's mainly followers on fb, Twitter, backers, and amount raised
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:14:41-05:00
I've heard we'll never get close to most comments, there's some about No. 9 that has bazillions. They have updated the FB page with accepted photos so we know where we're at.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-09T18:19:03-05:00
Was there some sort of comment war on one of the KS projects for it to get 350k in comments? Or did it run for like 6 months?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T18:20:27-05:00
15K. That's 3K in just one hour. We're coming Veronica.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T18:25:35-05:00
@catz- I think the campaign ended 1-2 years ago
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-09T18:29:51-05:00
Okay. Just figured for something to get that many comments there must have been fanboy war in the comments section.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:32:56-05:00
@Catz, I wouldn't doubt it...
Keith Fleming 2015-02-09T18:35:17-05:00
I have a hard time believing that the other silly achievements haven't been unlocked yet, given there are 140K+ people backing.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T18:37:29-05:00
Anything new going on?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-09T18:39:32-05:00
Keith, several of them have, they just haven't updated anything yet. The big problem, though, is that they took to long to put rules on KS, or anywhere else for that matter. The first place they posted rules was on Twitter, but a lot of people don't have Twitter and a lot of people who do didn't see the rules, so a ton of pictures didn't qualify
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:39:53-05:00
@Catness, not really... It's been rather quiet.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:40:20-05:00
@Catzalcoatal ...congratulation on your Fruitcake Shield Card Submission & Consideration by EK Team!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-09T18:40:35-05:00
OK. Maybe it's nap time then.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:41:32-05:00
@Cha, I didn't know you were on, congrats on the consideration!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:45:13-05:00
Oops, that should have been @Catz, congrats!
@Cha, didn't know you were on, hi!
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:45:31-05:00
@Historian...I am dipping into the chat pool at the utmost strange times. I'm mostly always close to the chat pool, watching and observing the mood tides and sometimes I throw some songs in to see if they resonate :)
The congratz should go to @Catzalcoatal
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:46:19-05:00
@Historian...did you read the Dragitten Saga yet?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:47:38-05:00
@Cha, fair enough. I've only been able to randomly pop in and out as well due to workwork and other obligations.
After I posted the congrats message I realized my mistake. Mucho apologies @Catz!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:48:11-05:00
@Cha, no, is that on the website?
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:49:33-05:00
@Historian...work and workwork seriously detract from chatpool time ;)
I'm very much enjoying the "Evening Chill" Playlist on Spotify right now
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:53:47-05:00
Music, cats, books, art, dragons, exploding kittens card games...what more does one need
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:54:07-05:00
@Cha, it sure does, what's up with that? Doesn't my boss know I have commenting to do so I can hit the 1k mark??
Just read the history, that is quite the epic tale, glad your claim was upheld. I put it on the Google doc but it must not have been noticed right away. I've got Cheetah butt's email now so i just send any pertinent updates directly to him. I love the gargittens :)
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:54:55-05:00
*laughs*...aehm perhaps I have the power of chat deflect...I guess it's all in my mind anyways
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:55:04-05:00
@Cha. Nothing I say, that is ask we need!
I'm currently watching Breaking Bad.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:56:26-05:00
@Historian...thanks *smiles* Dragittens and Gargittens, my precious hoard
I asked a friend to create images of them and Cha! and then I finally get around to a bio too
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:57:31-05:00
@Historian...I've already watched ALL of Breaking Bad...it was interesting how it could be a show on TV
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:58:11-05:00
@Cha, nice! I'm happy with my timitten league :)
John "Collar Stay" Kelly 2015-02-09T18:58:40-05:00
Apparently I'm rich since I am only getting back $600 from the $6000 I paid in state/federal taxes. Ramen is on me tonight everyone. Enjoy!
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T18:59:19-05:00
@Historian...I'm contemplating getting Hulu Plus for more access to current TV shows. I rid myself of cable 5 years ago and just have Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video but they ain't so fast with my fav Sci Fi Channel and other SciFi shows
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T18:59:30-05:00
@Cha, I'm watching for the fifth time (it's one of the few sites I've found that I can watch and not get tired of it). In guessing that to be on TV there must have been an awful lot of blurred images and bleeped words.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-09T18:59:46-05:00
I'm about half way done with Kitten Wars #2. But I need to go make a soufflé now
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T19:00:44-05:00
@CollarStay...hi and I'm sorry about your taxing enforced Ramen diet
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-09T19:01:02-05:00
No, it was on cable. They can get away with a lot on cable.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T19:01:29-05:00
@Cha, I cut the cable about 8 years ago and use Huluplus, Netflix and Amazon to fill my viewing needs. Hulu plus is good for getting most newer content which helps out a ton.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T19:02:02-05:00
@Historian...that's commitment! I often need years between re-watching movies or shows if ever
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T19:02:25-05:00
@LZ...fantastic and good air pressure on the souffle
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T19:02:47-05:00

@LZ, have fun making the souffle!

Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T19:03:53-05:00
@Cha, movies I find more easily reviewable as they aren't as much of an investment... TV show definitely take much more commitment. This one I feel is worth it.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T19:04:21-05:00
Dang...I need to do my taxes!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T19:04:40-05:00
@Cha, Hulu plus has stepped up is game. It's not perfect but it helps.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T19:06:35-05:00
@Historian...there's just so MANY I'd want to watch. I have a strong preference for SciFi & Fantasy with quirky shows thrown in, some more commercial ones. Then again, my fav quirky shows mostly didn't last more than 1 or 2 seasons. It's really always about the right compilation and mesh of characters and of course story.
objective* :-P
what if circular time existed? could god use it as a frisbee? would we all fly outside of time?
I once threw a flat rock like a Frisbee and it want far
i wonder if it would have gone as far if there was a duck sitting on your flat rock.
James, I'm going to go with no, unless the duck were attached to the rock and flying more than sitting...
what about very large values of rock and very small values of duck?
@James circular time exists. I posted an hour-old text again. It replaced my new message.
Nice talk. I'm now disappearing, because book time is over and it's madness time.
I wonder if we have fulfilled the 30 backer achievements to get the awesome backer award
I know we have not hit the 100,000% one and the 150,000 backers
I'll just throw a hammer into this conversation
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Lauren, we haven't yet. We're not at the money goal, the backer goal, or the 100k Facebook or Twitter goals.
and the 100,000 twitter followers
Sorry @Lauren. Not a chance. WE need too much money, too many FB and Twitter followers and 5 spidermen in a kayak..
We can only miss 3, and there are 4 we haven't hit yet, so even if all the others have been met, we would still only be at 29.

@Historian...there's just so MANY I'd want to watch. I have a strong preference for SciFi & Fantasy with quirky shows thrown in, some more commercial ones. Then again, my fav quirky shows mostly didn't last more than 1 or 2 seasons. It's really always about the right compilation and mesh of characters and of course story.
