Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-11T11:23:38-05:00
@Edward, as far as I know, they have not. Best guess is they are leaving it ambiguous so they can keep that achievement an nail biter till the bitter end.
Grace Moylan 2015-02-11T11:24:25-05:00
@cheetahbutt what exactly is kittencorps for?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-11T11:24:47-05:00
@Prof F, thank you for the very informative tutorial.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T11:26:02-05:00
@Grace, we're all for trinkets!
Kyle McNeal 2015-02-11T11:26:20-05:00
Why haven't the youtube videos been counted, there are well over 5 posted, did the people need to drop the links in twitter?
Wilco Wietsma 2015-02-11T11:26:46-05:00
@Evan, I understand that. Though I'm sure with this amount of backers it is cheaper to send in all the Kitten games into Europe all at once and let a distribution center resend it from there to all the adresses of the countries in Europe. Also America is massive and they have free shipping which makes no sense in my opinion.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-11T11:26:52-05:00
@Grace, it's just a bunch of us crazy backers who decided to actually follow through an make a community out of Exploding Kittens. Plus it was better then coming to the comments section and only seeing comments that related to the demand for more stretch goals, EU Friendly shipping, Trinkets, and other demands.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-11T11:27:00-05:00
@Grace Moylan, KittenCorps was created by the fans of Exploding Kittens who hang out here in the Comments section. Anyone is invited to join. You can find out more by visiting www.KittenCorps.com and following the various links. I'm sure others here in the comments will be happy to elaborate. Welcome.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T11:28:09-05:00
The United States may be massive, but you can send this sized package anywhere for about $6 within the USA. Distance only matters to the people at FedEx or UPS -- the USPS has flat rate packages.
Thewarstore.com 2015-02-11T11:28:57-05:00
I am still mystified why I haven't been added somewhere to the site... it's discrimination I tell you! ROFL!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T11:29:31-05:00
Also, this will be made and shipped from the USA, so it's "home court advantage"

@Kyle McNeal I suspect that the YouTube links MUST be posted on Twitter with #update9 and @gameofkittens, and that #update9 must be visible in the video itself. Then again, maybe they're looking for original songs and not just parodies of existing material.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-11T11:31:13-05:00
@Thewarstore. I'd be happy to add you. Can you please shoot me an email to cheetahbutt@kittencorps.com with the information requested in my previous post? Thank you so much for your help.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T11:31:21-05:00
@Wilco: That cheaperness can come with a price though. Instead of the reliability of sending it straight to an individual, you now have a middle man that has to be dealt with. Any problems that could occur get multiplied and responsibility becomes harder to place for any issues.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T11:31:53-05:00
how are things going?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-11T11:33:07-05:00
Also, you can submit membership information for other people. The only requirement is that the new member must have posted at least one comment here in the Exploding Kittens comment section.
A portion of what we pay goes towards our shipping, additional shipping prices are added to make up for what makes up the differences. Being based in america makes it infinitely cheaper for them to ship within the states. International shipping charges are insane.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T11:34:40-05:00
Thank you Cheetah Butt.

AND, each trinket is customized to us, so mine would be a Cane ...

They should make a giant exploding kitten statue with any extra money from this campaign, like an epic huge kitten on a grenade for public display forever to commemorate how awesome and epic this campaign was :p
Also I think that would just beautify the world in general to have a giant exploding kitten statue in it somewhere XD

Historian, did you have a busy weekend?
Sorry Ctness but the title made me lose all kinds of interest to my weight.
@Catness, no beer and no fruit juice (I'll assume this includes wine) makes The Historian go ...something, something...
Marissa, what name did you pick? You know how to change it in Kickstarter?
Historian, I'm sure I could do better if I dropped the beer and wine.
But you know what I say?!?
@Mr. Seeker, welcome to the Corps!
@Marissa, awesome! What name will you be going by?
I say eff it!
@Catness, I tried to quit beer and wine once... it was the worst 15 minutes of my life!
An inert kitten grenade would be cool as shit....
@Catness, yeah, I had grad school homework to do, some family stuff to attend to, general house work, the usual.
Historian, hahaha. What are you studying?

Anyone interested in the "How the eff will Elan add a YouTube video album to Facebook" question?
@Blondie, welcome officially to the Corps. :)
I need to produce another 40 comments per day in order to hit 1,000 before the end of the campaign. This will be difficult. :/
I've given up reclaiming a spot in the top 5, I will yield that to the more experienced spammers. :P
@Idle, maybe they'll just dump links or perhaps they'll do screen caps of the videos?
Blondie, mine is tied, too, but it can still be changed.
@Catness: No beer? F**k that!
Maybe.
Historian, well, keep up the good work!
@Tchotchke, you could always go the Prof F route (though I implore you NOT to do so)...

@Tchotchke tell us about your childhood. One sentence in a post, please.
Evil idea #1, post tons of random ass "evil ideas" in a false pretense of contributing, but really just trying to boost post counts.
@Catness: I did. I've gone the broken heart route only I lost my appetite for 3 months. Lost lots of weight.
