I have posted a screenshot of 150,000 backers on the KittenCorps News page.
B 2015-02-11T13:06:26-05:00
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but if we take 100 photos of individuals wearing cat ears and stitch them together to make one photo.....shouldn't that counts as a photo with 100 people wearing cat ears?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:07:03-05:00
B, it's questionable whether that would count.
Derek Toro 2015-02-11T13:07:12-05:00
Just doubled my pledge as I said I would when we hit 150k!
I went to the bathroom sure that would solve the stalled problem & when I came back you'd done it. Way to go. Another goal checked off. We are going to be a campaign to beat. :D
Charles Ulveling 2015-02-11T13:07:33-05:00
Yeah, that was my bad. We're at 28. So that means we just need the songs from YouTube and 100 people crazy enough to be in one picture all wearing cat ears!!!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:07:35-05:00
The EK Twitter account wished someone the best with that strategy, but it wasn't clear to me that the EK account had understood the suggestion. . . maybe?
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-11T13:07:53-05:00
We technically have 28 achieves done. But I'm 99% positive the song achieve is done, so we have an unconfirmed 29 done.
Charles Ulveling 2015-02-11T13:07:57-05:00
@B: Genius, pure and simple.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T13:08:07-05:00
@B. They've been pretty clear about what they're accepting on the cat ears photos. We need 100 people, all together, with cat ears AND a sign that says #Update9.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-11T13:08:24-05:00
@B,
Yeah, that wouldn't count. Has to all be in 1 photo, no photoshopping.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-11T13:08:24-05:00
Now for the $6mio.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:08:26-05:00
@Lordoftheslugs - Look at the image of achievements again, half the things you listed as greyed out are not anymore, and we can't count achievements as done until they are officially said so by the creators sadly, though the 150K backers is obviously a safe bet lol
I am sure it has been suggested, but it should be easy to tell the difference between the NSFW deck and the Family Friendly deck so you can separate them.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:09:14-05:00
Someone need to herd these cats!
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-11T13:09:34-05:00

Kent, I'm sure they'll have some kind of mark on them.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T13:09:52-05:00
@kent. You are correct sir. You about the 567th to mention it : )
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-11T13:09:53-05:00
Well, that $6 million mark is in the corner cowering in fear at it's impending demise.
@Blondie: No we keep the running total and make sure the creators are honest... not that we have to. We just officially unlocked 150,000!!!! W00T
Dana Zachary Tatum Land 2015-02-11T13:10:06-05:00
They updated the achievements list!!!
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-11T13:10:07-05:00
@Kent K,
Yes, the faces of the 2 decks will be different so it'll be easy to separate them.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-11T13:10:14-05:00
Get ready for the interview, she says. Go take a shower, she says. Don't wait around to watch a number, she says... Stupid self.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:10:32-05:00
@B- Sadly they specified it has to be 100 people all together with cat ears on in one single photo with the #update9 hashtag in it….but, how many of you guys are in the LA area and have cat ears? Lets make this happen!!!
B 2015-02-11T13:10:40-05:00
@BruceP then how about printing out 100 photos of people wearing cat ears, gluing them onto another piece of paper and taking a photo of that. No photoshopping.....
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:10:53-05:00
Woot!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:10:59-05:00
Woot! Woot!
Charles Ulveling 2015-02-11T13:11:00-05:00
Interesting... They just confirmed the 150,000 back or achievement on the page, but the YouTube songs are still greyed out.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-11T13:11:09-05:00
I vote Prof F be removed from the top 10. After watching his single letter "streaking" fit, he's all bleached carbs when it comes to content!
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-11T13:11:14-05:00
@B,
They won't accept that. IT HAS TO BE IN ONE PHOTO. 100 people, in 1 photo. They are sticklers for these goals.
@Kent they are going to do something on the front of the cards to make it easy to separate the NSFW from the family friendly deck - stated that in one of the last 2 updates & it may be in an FAQ.
Charles Ulveling 2015-02-11T13:11:27-05:00
That was supposed to say backer, not back or.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T13:12:05-05:00
@Elan... Tell us please. What must we do to meet your expectations for the YouTube song videos?
We ask in humble supplication.
Andrew 2015-02-11T13:12:08-05:00
So we don't have the you-tube achievement unlocked? They just updated the achievement 150,000 backers...
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-11T13:12:18-05:00
I've actually been posting today for once and PoT still overtakes me? Man.... Whose kitten do I have to blow up around here?
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-11T13:12:18-05:00
So many people here right now.
Tara 2015-02-11T13:12:24-05:00
If EVERYONE who has backed this project would like Exploding Kittens on Facebook and Follow on Twitter we would get those 2 ACHIEVEMENTS!
I suspect they want original songs (not songs which exist with words exploding kittens), it to be real singing, #update9 in the video, it to look "fun", tweeted with #update9 & #explodingkittens, twitted to @gameofkittens, and they are being picky/finicky on "good" and applying it to the words, singing, and overall video
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:19:34-05:00
@BaKhan- I have a Facebook, and had Myspace, and Livejournal, all that stuff, now theres vine, instagram and twitter and all this crap, it's just too much, I'm only 24 but I say NO MORE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ME, so I don't have twitter, and I will never get one, not even for this, sorry :(
BUT others can tweet it at them for me I hope! ….otherwise I just won't make the video hah as that would be pointless..
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-11T13:20:29-05:00
Song #5.....There are two videos that are basically acapella that pain me to link them.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-11T13:20:31-05:00
Haven't watched all the videos yet. Anyone have one that just goes on stanza after stanza of different ways kittens have exploded?
@Blondie, seriously, trinkets! Just get the damn Twitter already! (Trinkets trinkets)
John Warren 2015-02-11T13:22:21-05:00
Someone, somewhere, has to have 100 cat ears!
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:22:35-05:00
I have had 12 years of vocal training, a solid decade of choir, and years of private voice lessons, I have already written a song, and I can record it today, and upload it to youtube!
BUT I cannot tweet it at them so hoping someone else at least has that ability since I'll be throwing all I have at this lol
Edward J. Cunningham 2015-02-11T13:22:53-05:00
If parodies were allowed, "Memory" from "Cats" is BEGGING to be turned into a song about exploding kittens!
Jonathan Brown 2015-02-11T13:23:04-05:00
Can the KittenCorps somehow keep a running total of Facebook likes and Twitter followers on its website so that it can be easily monitored?
Cya people it's not normal to lock the office at half past eight.
BruceP - The Chameleon 2015-02-11T13:23:13-05:00
@Blondie,
If you make it, it will be tweeted. Don't worry. :)
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-11T13:23:18-05:00
Dunno, song #2's original lyrics rival Donner's song in time spent working out the lyrics.
It's along the same vein as my suggestion that someone do a spoof of C&C Music Factory's "Things that make you go hmmm.." Instead making it "Things that make you go Boom..."
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:23:45-05:00
@John - I'm sure someone does, but do they ALSO have 100 friends who are willing to put them on and pose with said ears as that person takes a photo? lol
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-11T13:23:53-05:00
It takes 30 seconds to sign up for twitter, and gets us another step closer to that one. :)
Edward J. Cunningham 2015-02-11T13:24:02-05:00
@Marissa "Blondie" Brice If you don't have a twitter account, could somebody ELSE tweet it for you on your behalf?
Sarah Donnor has really taken reaching the goals for this seriously. Fantastic video. She's also trying to get people for a cat ear photo at her show in L.A.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T13:25:25-05:00
@Edward - I believe the creators did specifically say it was okay for someone else to tweet your submissions for you, I checked, just wanted to make sure some kitten corps members were available to do so ^_^
Dang. I only dare to sing when I'm cooking and the craziness bestows me. I also do some dancing.
Jeremy Fitch 2015-02-11T13:26:03-05:00
Dear fellow 150k+ backers - please like Exploding Kittens on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/explodingkittens) and follow them on Twitter (https://twitter.com/gameofkittens). If you don't have a Twitter, make an account just to follow it and never do anything with again. It's pretty goddamn easy!
I have posted a screenshot of 150,000 backers on the KittenCorps News page.

If EVERYONE who has backed this project would like Exploding Kittens on Facebook and Follow on Twitter we would get those 2 ACHIEVEMENTS!
Is #Update9 in the youtube songs?
Everyone needs to go like them on Face book.. just need a little over 18,000 more to unlock the last Facebook achievement.
If 2/3's of the pledgers liked the fb site, we'd be 1 more closer D:
I think they just want more cute girls to send in videos of themselves singing for their amusement
@Potatten,
Are all the songs posted somewhere?
Well if they still aren't acknowledging songs I feel like they just are ENJOYING the vids too much to tell us we unlocked that XD
...which is kinda forcing me to record mine -_- evil geniuses!!
don;t be too hard on yourself Melissa, it wasn't an awesome, life changing moment
*twitch*
How many achievements do we need in order to get braile on the cards?
*twitch twitch*
@Silver - Yes I am 100% sure you are right, and I'm totally going to give them what they want, those brilliant bastards, lol XD
Are the songs even actually posted to twitter: didi any of the song people follow the directions at all?
@eric that sounds dirty
@EricA: Two.
The madness.
It's coming for me again.
@Potatten,
I've only see one song and it was perfect. Not sure about any others.
I'd love to see the expression on the face of a person reading boob wizard in braille!
*sigh* I'll have to do some kind of cacophony on my synth. Still don't know where my fingers are.
That's clearly the secret thing we unlock after all, now that you've said that it's all clear. it's the only thing that makes sense.
@Potatten. Yes. There have been quite a few. But if they are requiring all original songs, with a story arc I could see why it hasn't been met yet.
I'm going to rig up a phrase-activated bomb.
35 songs eh? come oooon.
I don't have a twitter so…if I record my youtube song and have the hashtag will someone else please tweet it appropriately for me?
I'm backer 150,070!!!
This is what everyone should be striving for for a song about Exploding Kittens. Do it like this!
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
#1 song: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
#2 song: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Next time someone suggests that we just need all the backers to like the Facebook/Twitter pages, it's going to blow... Boom!
@Blondie, no excuses! Get Twitter and follow! Trinkets!
@Catzalcoatal, it's a web spider doing the count, so like it or not the spammers are at the top of the list.
@Blondi. Several of us have joined Twitter just for this campaign. It's free and you don't ever have to touch it again if you don't want to.
Song #3: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Update 9 in title, but not in video. (still counts I think)
@Catzalcoatal,
I'm not sure that #2 song counts because it's not original music.
song #4: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
update 9 in title and spoken of in video.
I don't spam :(, I do rant and ramble but I try very hard to draw the line.
I suspect they want original songs (not songs which exist with words exploding kittens), it to be real singing, #update9 in the video, it to look "fun", tweeted with #update9 & #explodingkittens, twitted to @gameofkittens, and they are being picky/finicky on "good" and applying it to the words, singing, and overall video

I just think they're being sticklers and require original music as well as lyrics. ;)
... and 2.
@Chameleon - Huzzah! I'll be working on my masterpiece today then, you'll all see it soon!
Parody should totally be allowed under the terms of fair use doctrine!!! ....though they did SAY they had to be original numbers....
