You guys have to look at the price of the most funded KS campaign products. Getting the actual product cost triple or more than getting the EK combo kitten card deck. That also impacts amount of funding reach

I wrapped my potato kitten in a tortilla with the note: "now with more magic", they liked it but I don't think it counted
I'm really feeling it 2015-02-09T22:05:16-05:00
Im really _____ it
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-09T22:05:27-05:00
Interesting. I just looked up the Cooler on Kicktraq. It was attempted first about eight or nine months before, and only got about 80% backing. They re-grouped, and then did the second attempt and only _then_ did the huge numbers.
@Potatten; I've got my fingers crossed for a big finish too. At the average backing rate of $39.58 we need about 108,641 more backers to hit $10 million. They should add another achievement for 250k backers since that's what we need!!
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T22:06:15-05:00
Wow! *laughs* you are awesome @LZ trying to figure out how to fake my enchilada so I can use my magical enchilada kit tonight
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T22:07:08-05:00
AAAAGGGHHHHH! There's a spiderman photo on Twitter, but it isn't going to count because of the #Update9! DAMMIT!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2015-02-09T22:07:09-05:00
@GCoD, are you saying everyone back out so it doesn't get funded, then in 8 months well get like $14 million? !!
Devious plan.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-09T22:07:30-05:00
@PoT you're kinda creeping me out...
Fizzziks "The Healer" 2015-02-09T22:07:57-05:00
haha, good plan Trinkets! Lets cancel the KS now and start over! More fun (and never, ever, ever going to get any work done!)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-09T22:08:17-05:00
@PoT, breathe, man!

@PoT; Quick, use your powers to change their ways!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-09T22:09:14-05:00
I just found it interesting, they had 269 backers and around $100K, over a one month campaign. 81% funded. Wait seven months, then do a 52 day campaign, and hit $13M.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-09T22:09:36-05:00
BTW, I got a screen capture of the 144K backer number.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-09T22:09:45-05:00
Just coming back to my wonderings from earlier on how best to analyze this epic crowd funding social media experiment. Where is @GeneralCalculus or any of you mathy wizards when one needs 'em. Like looking at timing of update through which medium until realization of update resuilting in increased comments and backers/funding. Sooo fascinating
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T22:09:56-05:00
It is so close though. So close.

I can't believe someone did the spiderman pic. They forgot the tag but they're going to fix it!!!!!!!?

Holy poop! Less than 3k to go!
Fizzziks "The Healer" 2015-02-09T22:10:31-05:00
@GCD; yeah, I thought it was interesting they had 2 go's at it too. Funny how the same thing with a slightly different approach/timing can change everything.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-09T22:11:00-05:00
I think it has to count, even the internet hasn't had THAT image in it before now...

@Potatten; That's what I thought too, but update #11 says "Wanna see what you get when you unlock 10 more achievements", but that would bring us to like 34 right? Confused I am
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-09T22:27:10-05:00
And prepare to unleash the unfed Pirate Kittens upon that scurvy dog, Veronica Mars!!

LadyZ of the house Vampitten 2015-02-09T22:31:41-05:00
@Fizzziks, that comment makes me think they'll be adding more fun achievements to accomplish! I love these guys. And Ashley Bradshaw for that amazing spiderman kayak pic!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-09T22:31:43-05:00
So... What's after Pono?
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-09T22:32:08-05:00
@Trinkets,
Not sure, then. If you can just go to the Exploding Kittens page on FB, it's their photo album
Jim Mosser 2015-02-09T22:32:12-05:00
Just passed Veronica Mars!!!!!!!!!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-09T22:32:20-05:00
After Pono is Ouya, then Pebble, then that blasted cooler.
Fizzziks "The Healer" 2015-02-09T22:32:21-05:00
@LadyZ, That's what I was hoping too, wasn't sure if I was reading into it too deeply
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-09T22:32:41-05:00
@BakHan, drinking mint juleps and rockin' on the porch.
You guys have to look at the price of the most funded KS campaign products. Getting the actual product cost triple or more than getting the EK combo kitten card deck. That also impacts amount of funding reach
We're right behind you Ronnie. Can you hear us breathing? We're right here.
I wrapped my potato kitten in a tortilla with the note: "now with more magic", they liked it but I don't think it counted
Im really _____ it
Interesting. I just looked up the Cooler on Kicktraq. It was attempted first about eight or nine months before, and only got about 80% backing. They re-grouped, and then did the second attempt and only _then_ did the huge numbers.
It might go towards taco cat....
@Potatten; I've got my fingers crossed for a big finish too. At the average backing rate of $39.58 we need about 108,641 more backers to hit $10 million. They should add another achievement for 250k backers since that's what we need!!
Wow! *laughs* you are awesome @LZ trying to figure out how to fake my enchilada so I can use my magical enchilada kit tonight
AAAAGGGHHHHH! There's a spiderman photo on Twitter, but it isn't going to count because of the #Update9! DAMMIT!

@GCD; Didn't realize coolest did a 52 day campaign though. That's loooooong.
It's like Social Media / Crowd Funding Logistics
Quack has already contacted them to inform them of the error. Maybe they can re-do it.
@PoT- was referring to the "can you hear us breathing?" I agree completely with your anger towards the sign...
That kayak photo is AWESOME!!!
EK also told them to add sign- they're going to retake tonight.
Will they accept 6 instead of 5 Spiderman?
Yes. They said is amazing, just add the sign in a new pic
But yes... Update #9, you need a sign... Better not get stuck in twine... you could hurt your spine...
Man, so darn close. Foo. If EK was generous, that'd be a 'gimme'.
Better luck next time...
btw, we're set to break $5.7 M any second now.
I think it has to count, even the internet hasn't had THAT image in it before now...

@Trinkets,
Does this link work for you?

Hey Bruce! Hurrah for fancy boxes, powered by the magic of science magnets
What's up with the "unlock 10 more achievements, isn't that like, more than 30?? Is this a new reward??
Whee, science magnets!
@Bruce P : LoL and Cutty-outty thumb thingie!!!
@Trinkets: https://www.facebook.com/explodingkittens/photos_stream…
All the albums are there containing all the pics that won the achievements... I liked that idea....
Wooot! Yay! Awesomest 6 Spiderman in a Kayak with #Update9!

That's it! Hull her through and through, send her to the bottom!
Whoot there it is!
