Wow, it's really starting to look like we can reach 30 achievements after all. We currently have 25. As I see it the 150K backers achievement is a lock, as is the 5 youtube songs and 25 magic enchiladas. So, to paraphrase the wacky US presidential elections, there are several paths to 30, as we just need 2 of the remaining 5 goals, probably in the following orders of probability:
50 cat ears: People have already gotten close to 50, so this could just be a matter of another weekend to pull it off.
100K FarceBook Likes: Just under 22K to go! Seriously, I dislike FB as much as any, but surely 22K of us could create a FB account to just like this one thing, right?
100 Cat ears: I've seen some noises about flashmobbing a walmart Parking lot off of 580 in Pleasanton, CA this weekend. If pulled off this might beat the FB likes.
100K Twitter followers: I was surprised that this is only at 60K, as I would have expected Twitter to be more popular with this crowd than FB. As with FB there's no reason we can't get about 2/3's of the backers to get tweeting.
100K% funded: The long shot. Yet, not as impossible as it seems; if all the NSFW backers each bought ONE deck at 35 bucks (only 316 days until X-mas!) it would boost the total by $4,787,300. (I've already bought two extra decks, because I plan on giving the NSFW version to my daughter many, MANY years from now :P).
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T14:53:17-05:00
@ Idle I'm just suggesting it for those who may not have shared it yet accross facebook. Sometimes presenting it to people in a format where all they have to do is click will get us 4 more likes per person who already liked....
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T14:53:19-05:00
Very unlikely Thunderclap. Tomorrow. Maybe Thursday.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-10T14:53:27-05:00
So... just noticed there are 9 days to go. That means we've already been screwing around in this chat for three full weeks. Time flies.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T14:53:55-05:00
Cold Fusion, a 50 cat ear photo has already been posted
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-10T14:53:56-05:00
@Yohannon I think we already conquered the 50 cat ear goal. Just hasn't been updated.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T14:54:13-05:00
50 cat ears was covered last night I believe
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-10T14:54:52-05:00
Just for reference: we need about 2.5k backers, which translates to about $100k with the current average pledge of $40. No problem you say. Easy as pie, you say. Will be done in no time at all, you say.
And right you are. But consider this: Those 2.5k backers will pledge enough to fullfill the original goal of the project by 1,000%! Such is the scale of this thing we already grew accostumed to.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-10T14:54:57-05:00
Squittens have been officially claimed by @Flarphlinsnoogle.
An updated Fact Sheet has been posted.
Kara Lee 2015-02-10T14:55:06-05:00
took a look at the screenshot from the twitter feed, 106,222 backers. Today has 147,544 backers (when I looked and did the math).
Using cross multiplication, in 14 days, the project grew by 41,322 backers. In 9 days, we can estimate that it will grow by 26,564 backers, which will put us above the 150,000 backers. So that one should be possible (I estimate it should end at 174,108 backers if it holds at the same rate of growth). :)
Kara Lee 2015-02-10T14:55:46-05:00
The 106,222 backers was from Jan 27th.
Jeffrey T. Fritz 2015-02-10T14:57:26-05:00
Question: If I backed the project for $55 (1 NSFW, 1 standard) how many boxes do I get?
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-10T14:58:17-05:00
@Fritz, around 15 boxes and two t-shirts
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-10T14:58:35-05:00
@Jeffrey, three decks total. 2 SFK and 1 NSFW
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T14:58:47-05:00
So you bought three decks? You should get two boxes then
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T14:59:27-05:00
@Jeffrey. That would be 2 Fam Friendly decks and 1 NSFW deck so most likely 2 boxes.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-10T14:59:32-05:00
I am not sure how many boxes, the text is a bit ambiguos, but I also tend to two.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-10T14:59:53-05:00
@Jeffery, LZ has it right, I misread your question!
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:00:42-05:00
Each tier gets you one box.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-10T15:02:01-05:00
It might just be one box per backer.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-10T15:02:07-05:00
Currently adding 180 backers/hr. If this keeps up (which it won't) we will have 150k backers in about 14 hrs.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:04:37-05:00
Nope. Read the update it clearly says 1 box per tier pledge.
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-10T15:05:53-05:00
it appears that boxes are important to a bunch of backers as if a spare one is what they always wanted
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:06:55-05:00
or rather "All tiers will receive this box"

I read the stretch goal: "Awarded to all backers at all tier levels" as 1 box per backer, and not 1 box per deck ordered. Just looking for clarification...
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:08:15-05:00
how does Προφέσσορ Φ not have the most posts?
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:09:04-05:00
@Jeffrey. I guess it depends how the boxes come packaged. If the decks come in the boxes or if they are added to the decks after as part of fulfillment.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T15:09:25-05:00
General C. I concur.
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-10T15:09:37-05:00
@Ninjatten, because there are worse spammers than me in here
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:09:53-05:00
They did state 1 box per tier pledged, and not per backer though...
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:10:22-05:00
@Προφέσσορ Φ I support you ascension to the number 1 spot for posts.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:11:04-05:00
Pottaten shouldn't post for the rest of the campaign. 1111 posts is just too cool
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-10T15:11:16-05:00
Your support is appreciated, but why?
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:11:53-05:00
because if you are off chasing that then you aren't causing nastiness with villainy updates.

this?

@Ninjatten, I spam because it is evil. I post villainy updates to verify my evilness, I'm building Pron, technically, you are, to claim my rightful throne. The rest of the Vittens in here are just Kittens with yarn balls.
Andre "Silver Ninjatten" Bernier 2015-02-10T15:16:25-05:00
So I ordered the Kindle 8.9 inch 64GB tablet yesterday since its on sale for $299 right now and I chose the slow shipping method to get another $1 video credit and surprisingly it arrived today :-)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-10T15:18:15-05:00
You csn get as high ad you like. Question is whether you'll OD
@Potatten, I second your statement about social media.
We might just reach 150k backers today :-)
Is that ProfF? Sure looks like him. Crazy as a bat.
Marie,
the only benefit is that the NSFW set will not be sold outside of the KS campaign so you either buy a second set now or you lose out.

because if you are off chasing that then you aren't causing nastiness with villainy updates.
Because you're the top loonatic around here and deserve it.
@Silver, I think Dr. P should go for a comment count of 2222
Nay Ninjatten.... I must aim for 1234 posts!!
14th? Seriously. This whole friggin' thing is rigged
lol agreed.
Then 2222!!!!
@Silver, if he's chasing the top spot wouldn't that mean there are MORE villainy updates?
I say we all just spam posts until we are on top.
Well not all of my updates are villainy as I'm only evil because [science]
@Historian Perhaps, but im a glass half full kind of guy.
@Dr. P, I amend my previous statement, 1234 would be much cooler.
From the updates page. At 20 achievements reached.. We upgrade all boxes so they hold two decks....
3.2.1 sham and speese.
@Silver, it's always good to have some dreamers out there :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P_O_T_A_T_T_E_N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 1 1 2
@Ninajtten, I ain't chasing top commenting numbers, I loath such useless trinkets
YOU BROKE THE PERFECT POST COUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then set a new goal of posting every other post.
I need to post more as I am at spot # 17 perhaps I should spam one or two hundred posts at 1 am when this chat is dead
My
new
goal
is
to
post
@Josh I'm with you. I say we just do it now.
two
one
word
can
at
three
a
play
time.
that
game
Eric :-)
why
are
you
doing
this?
@Ninjatten, I spam because it is evil. I post villainy updates to verify my evilness, I'm building Pron, technically, you are, to claim my rightful throne. The rest of the Vittens in here are just Kittens with yarn balls.
lol This just became unreadable
F, go find a diaper or something. Your lack of balls is disturbing.
lol
Really children?
+1 Thunderclap
@Idle/Wild, you can be more original than that. Please come back with a better comeback
I say we just start counting and see how high we can get
but you cant post consecutive numbers
Spam & Cheese will make you sleaze
So I ordered the Kindle 8.9 inch 64GB tablet yesterday since its on sale for $299 right now and I chose the slow shipping method to get another $1 video credit and surprisingly it arrived today :-)
You csn get as high ad you like. Question is whether you'll OD
Trinkets!
Trinkets!
It was pretty good. And you did it to yourself. Your yarn balls were not there until I posted.
Trinkets!
Trinkets!
Trinkets!
