Vojtěch Ledvina 2015-02-10T18:02:43-05:00
Marie: There's almost 150k backers so why can't everyone just switch to his facebook/twitter page and like/follow. Thats the first thing I did when the achievements were revealed.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-10T18:02:45-05:00
Creeper, it's killing me. What comes next?!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-10T18:03:36-05:00
Vojtech, there's no reason everyone couldn't. But just because something can be done, doesn't mean it's easy to do.
Vojtech, plenty of people don't have Twitter, or aren't paying attention to this madness.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-10T18:04:39-05:00
Vojtech, it is also a great truth of our species that many of us will wait for other people to do the work. That's not something that works out for us in these types of challenges.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-10T18:05:16-05:00
Alright, everyone. It's quitting time for me. See you later!
I found out about it when my sister made a comment about it on FB. Not sure if she backed.
Amanda 2015-02-10T18:09:40-05:00
As much as I love all these stretch achievements, I feel like they didn't do them very well. There is no direction, and seemingly no rules....yet when we think we've unlocked something they come back with that's not good enough. Like they set up the 'terms' for an acceptable photo AFTER they gave us the challenges....and then they don't accept the batmans or Spider-Man's that weren't 'real' people even though nowhere on this kickstarter does it state that they needed to be actual humans. And now even though there are over 25 songs on a YouTube playlist they have another issue accepting this?....I don't mind having rules about what does and does not unlock something but effin give those up ahead of time.

Wow, only need 3 more. The 150K backers seems like a done deal and someone HAS to post the songs on YouTube. That leaves us needing one of the tough ones...
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-10T18:11:35-05:00
@Cheetah Butt. +1 Stretch goal dis-satisfaction.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-10T18:11:38-05:00
@Amanda- yeah, i think they were super excited to have the update and challanges, and then realized "oh crap--- we need some rules here" Unfortunate, but at least we're still managing to get the achievements.
Lord "Oblivitten" of Goatanus 2015-02-10T18:14:07-05:00
The 150k is a sure thing... later tonight or early tomorrow... someone open the irresistible maw of a Blackholitten to suck them all in...

Since the creative team is working with Cards Against Humanity and their printer, don't hope for plastic cards. Besides, plastic cards will add to the schedule in delays and costs.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-10T18:32:45-05:00
Well, to be honest. Pretty sure 29 achieves are done. There should be enough music vids done. So we should press for the Facebook or Twitter achieve.

They should have given us some IMPOSSIBLE social media tasks. Like 100 friends on MySpace or 5 GeoCities pages.
So I went to like EK on Facebook today and Facebook offered "Neil deGrasse Tyson" as the top similar page I might also like. From this I can infer: If you like Exploding Kittens, just wait until you've tried "Demoting Planets"

As a social media coach I find the idea that "it should be easy to get the likes/followers done" hysterical. I did remember today that I could like the FB page as my professional page as well as my personal profile, got my husband to like it, and shared the page asking friends to like/follow but I don't hold out much hope for many of my 3k+ followers to like/follow because stats say it won't happen and they match my experience.
Authors I work with tell me "all my friends will help me on launch date", I warn them "probably not", they don't believe me, and are devastated when less than 10% of friends and family share and/or retweet/like/follow on launch day - and less than 1% buy the book as promised.
Kabala, yes!! Someone just needs to get Weird Al to do it!
A degree of opaqueness benefits them. More posting, more press.
Tapering down to 140 new backers per hour currently. I'm going to guess that today was a blip, not a change in trend, the next few days will tell.
Oh joy...cleaning up cat barf...the nasty side of having cats
WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Alright, everyone. It's quitting time for me. See you later!
Also...sharing it doesn't guarantee more people. It means more people may see it. But no guarantee they will back it/support it.
Doesn't guarantee- but will help. I found out about the campaign because my friend shared when she backed it. And that was at the very beginning.
I found out about it when my sister made a comment about it on FB. Not sure if she backed.

As a social media coach I find the idea that "it should be easy to get the likes/followers done" hysterical. I did remember today that I could like the FB page as my professional page as well as my personal profile, got my husband to like it, and shared the page asking friends to like/follow but I don't hold out much hope for many of my 3k+ followers to like/follow because stats say it won't happen and they match my experience.
Authors I work with tell me "all my friends will help me on launch date", I warn them "probably not", they don't believe me, and are devastated when less than 10% of friends and family share and/or retweet/like/follow on launch day - and less than 1% buy the book as promised.
