@General Cal - If more people signed up for the Thuderclap and even a fifth of the people who saw the massive shares it liked the page then I think we could easily get the FB likes, we got like 2-3k more likes yesterday alone! So at that rate just bugging people on here we'll get it in 5 days XD
That is one problem with most campaigns, people get their answer and vanish until it's over, then constantly ask "Where are my rewards...I want my rewards...you said they would be here by now"...while not accounting for weather/customs/shippers getting exhausted and calling it a day a little early due to high volumes to pack/send.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:23:59-05:00
I have a gaming group 170+ people strong and I posted this to their page, many backed and if they have not liked the page I'll have to hunt them down…I may go check on that…haha
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-12T14:24:01-05:00
Historian, I do what I can to help keep this crazy world in a moral balance!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-12T14:24:11-05:00
@tchotchke, we all must make sacrifices. Forget the job and sit a spell with us! ...of course, you could comment during work like I do, when I can at any rate.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:24:42-05:00
Oh 32k comments cool glad I was here for that ^_^ now I can know how many to scroll through if I have to do an errand XD
Mike Kabala 2015-02-12T14:25:07-05:00
EKLOL inductees list has been updated. Congrats all.
@Historian: As long as I don't have tons on the go, I comment. If I get slammed with work, I truck through it, and then come back(100+ comments later).
Well that's what we told him, but he seemed dead set on hearing it from Elan, Shane or Oatmeal.... I didn't want him to straight up vanish from the face of our community, I just wanted him to get what we were saying and that an has has and will again be given.
Hugh Raynor 2015-02-12T14:25:32-05:00
I would have commented earlier, but a kitten blew up my PC.
@Hugh: Careful, their crazy... who knows what will happen next!!!
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T14:26:27-05:00
@Historian
Oh, I do. But it greatly varies. Some days I never leave a comment, some days I'm in and out a couple of times an hour.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-12T14:26:40-05:00
@Blondie, you can read up at the same site the Top Commenters list is on. It updates every 30 minutes.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:27:24-05:00
@Mountain Goat - Aww that is lame indeed, sorry to hear that! At least you have the Kitten Corps to cheer you up and keep you entertained :D
@Catness - You have a rocking chair aka nap room in your office? I am jealous. You clearly work in an amazing environment haha
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T14:27:48-05:00
*mental note* If I ever start a kickstarter I'm going to put the fulfillment date as 'guaranteed before Jan. 1 2100 no matter the number of backers, but likely earlier than that.'
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:28:17-05:00
@General Cal - Oh, wow, that whole page is super spiffy thanks for all the info! I love the Kitten Corps :D
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T14:28:40-05:00
I think I need my own stretch goals to unlock my image achievements. Otherwise I'm gonna try and spend too much time getting chatty on here to stay in the top 20 :P
@Tchotchke: Is that going to be for the SAL cards you're talking about?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:29:02-05:00
I heard about someone who used to work in my department gathering up the fatigue mats and taking a nap on them. It's one of the nastiest things I've ever heard
The only reason I broke ten was because I've been here since the beginning.....
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T14:29:38-05:00
What SAL?
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:30:02-05:00
@Hugh - I have a kitten blowing up my ears right now with meows so I kinda sorta feel your pain lol
Rachel Baumann 2015-02-12T14:30:17-05:00
@Catness the rocking chair room may not be what it seems. If it has a lock, an electrical outlet, and a sink either in the room or nearby, it is probably intended to be a private place for nursing mothers to pump.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:30:44-05:00
The reason I'm on top is I've been here from the beginning and I have a lot of downtime at work
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-02-12T14:30:55-05:00
@blondie - You may have to cut out a nap or two if you want to break 1000 :P
I don't have as much down time.... that and I sleep.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:31:51-05:00
I sleep, as well
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:32:02-05:00
@DDD - Honestly I think you could make other backers do silly stretch goal ideas for images from you of their favorite kittens :P Just saying, use your powers wisely….haha
Just kidding LZ, you also put in a lot more actual work here than I do.... I'm mostly all talk and idea spinning. How;s the comic coming btw?
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:33:19-05:00
Oh god IT TAKES CUTTING NAPS OUT OF MY LIFE TO BREAK 1K?! T_T
….this will be a rough 7 days…lol, I am averaging about 150 comments a day though with a whole one day to average it out, hah, so if I keep this up I may be okay! :D
Nice, I don't know what all goes into it but you're clearly good at it just based on issue 1.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:36:06-05:00
Dammit if you don't know my one weakness Potatten!! No stoner can resist MAGIC COOKIES! XD
I also eagerly await LZ's next comic installment :D Loving it so far, and with the hint of evil in the next chapter I'm especially intrigued haha
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:36:07-05:00
I got inspiration last night for a future issue. I don't want to give too much away, but it involves complainers, Nope, and Lord Z proving that he's a villain
Hugh Raynor 2015-02-12T14:36:23-05:00
I remember losing my kitten in the Chernobyl area of Ukraine on April 26, 1986.
That sounds awesome LZ, we've certainly got a lot of material here in the comment section to use as fodder and a lot of it's pure gold. There should eventually be a poz and F episode....
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T14:37:34-05:00
I need to average 40 comments per day for the last week in order to break 1k before the end of the campaign. :/
We have 29! And are inching towards that final 30th one with every cat convention we can find and convince to take a mass photo in lol XD

Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:43:45-05:00
So safe to say, I'll be here all day, and all night, lurking…commenting…oh boy this makes my life sound wildly exciting…haha
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:45:33-05:00
I will remind you Potatten!! I know others are going to Cons and trying to convince people to take group shots I know someone will succeed eventually, and if not, once again, I say PARTY IN LA PEOPLE!!
BUT I need more LA area backers to exist though and express any interest for this to be a reality sadly…haha
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:45:54-05:00
I understand the sentiment, as I live here. I answer a lot of questions at night, I've noticed
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-12T14:46:40-05:00
I'm actually looking forward to the weekend so i can spend more time here :P
It would be amazing promotion for their FurCon.... and it will also give us a boost in backers with an increased interest.... Why didn't I think of furriies before... They must secretly be the answer to everything....
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:48:55-05:00
I just like adding to the "popularity" of a campaign by commenting as much as possible too, keeps it on kicktraq's "hot list" as well as top of the KS popularity section, so we're honestly HELPING our lurking! Really!
…I'm sure Batman said that too at some time, lol "I swear I lurk because I care!" XD
I would comment more over the weekends, but I tend to be oot and aboot rather than at my computer, and really not using my phone at all.
Thewarstore.com 2015-02-12T14:49:01-05:00
No that my friend is 42
Nilan Watmore 2015-02-12T14:49:39-05:00
Only one more achievement to reach 30 folks! Let's everyone head to Facebook and like the Exploding Kittens page to unlock the final stretch goal! We can do it!
42? You mean 34? What does rule 34 have to do with this? Don't go making this weird now warstore...
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-12T14:51:10-05:00
@Miss Puss - I totally know that feeling! I woke up today and checked these comments before doing anything else haha totally has become a highlight of my day :P
@Mountain Goat - Awww sadly just missing out on the cat ear party then :( You can be here in spirit though!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:51:56-05:00
Oh danm! Those potattens are too small. That means I have to redraw them
@Blondie: No worries, I'm 3/4 asleep inputting invoices/cross checking what was recently sent to us. You know there is something wrong with a job when you don't even need to pay attention to get things right.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-02-12T14:54:51-05:00
Oot and aboot would be preferable to not out and not about.
And the top comment about it is "So long and thank you for all the fish".
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-12T14:56:26-05:00
Potatten, because I drew them on the same layer as the box, any attempt the resize them woukd include elements of the box, which would be bad for continuity. It's okay though, I'm just about done with the redraw
@GM - Zombie job! Yay! Allows for you to spend time with your fellow corpsmen ;) sounds badass when you tell the buddies at work you're just chatting it up with the other guys who serve with you in the corps I bet…lol
There's a room in my office with nothing it but I rocking chair. Obviously, napping has to happen.
Poz got an answer from Elan saying the dilivery will basically hold.
@Dr. P, he apparently got his answer a few days ago and hasn't been seen since.
As this was his one and only question, I think he is staisfied now.
Geez, about time he send that email out..... I did send one out asking him to email the backer named Poz myself....
@Catness, naps are a moral imperative!
@GreatMountain
...and I used to be top 5!! Clearly I'm being punished for having a job. :(
He seemed like a good guy otherwise.....
He was always on late so I didn't know.
@General Cal - If more people signed up for the Thuderclap and even a fifth of the people who saw the massive shares it liked the page then I think we could easily get the FB likes, we got like 2-3k more likes yesterday alone! So at that rate just bugging people on here we'll get it in 5 days XD

She could go streaking too, though she looks more like a skinny-dipper.... (j/k)
Ugh! Not THAT again!
Just kidding LZ, you also put in a lot more actual work here than I do.... I'm mostly all talk and idea spinning. How;s the comic coming btw?
Oh god IT TAKES CUTTING NAPS OUT OF MY LIFE TO BREAK 1K?! T_T
….this will be a rough 7 days…lol, I am averaging about 150 comments a day though with a whole one day to average it out, hah, so if I keep this up I may be okay! :D
You get a special magical cookie though Blondie!!!
The first issue still makes me grin...
I have one more row of BG's to do, then it's a matter of putting in characters and text
I tried skinny dipping once. Found out I couldn't qualify, so I went chubby dunking.
Nice, I don't know what all goes into it but you're clearly good at it just based on issue 1.
Dammit if you don't know my one weakness Potatten!! No stoner can resist MAGIC COOKIES! XD
I also eagerly await LZ's next comic installment :D Loving it so far, and with the hint of evil in the next chapter I'm especially intrigued haha
I got inspiration last night for a future issue. I don't want to give too much away, but it involves complainers, Nope, and Lord Z proving that he's a villain
I remember losing my kitten in the Chernobyl area of Ukraine on April 26, 1986.
I hope he didn't cause any problems.
@Blondie: The site has all kinds of cool features too http://kittencorps.com/webcomic/webcomic.html @ www.kittencorps.com.
Thanks, Potatten and Blondie
@LZ - Nice! Can't wait to see the finished product ^_^
Psyched to see how Lord Z will deal with the complainers :P
That sounds awesome LZ, we've certainly got a lot of material here in the comment section to use as fodder and a lot of it's pure gold. There should eventually be a poz and F episode....
I need to average 40 comments per day for the last week in order to break 1k before the end of the campaign. :/
Are we still at 28 achievements?
@Trunkets: You could [swim nude at the beach], no one's done that yet either.
@Jason
29
@Jason: 29
We have 29! And are inching towards that final 30th one with every cat convention we can find and convince to take a mass photo in lol XD

Please check out our Thunder Clap for Exploding Kittens http://thndr.it/1CXhh0P and a big thank you to those of you that have already signed up.
@Blondie: If this campaign was still going to be going in early May...I would be down in the LA area.
It would be amazing promotion for their FurCon.... and it will also give us a boost in backers with an increased interest.... Why didn't I think of furriies before... They must secretly be the answer to everything....
I just like adding to the "popularity" of a campaign by commenting as much as possible too, keeps it on kicktraq's "hot list" as well as top of the KS popularity section, so we're honestly HELPING our lurking! Really!

@Mountain Goat - Awww sadly just missing out on the cat ear party then :( You can be here in spirit though!
Oh danm! Those potattens are too small. That means I have to redraw them
You have no means of altering their size?
So...I take it my new nickname is Mountain Goat? o.O
@Potatten no, he meant that the answer to (life the universe and) everything is 42 :P
Via Shrink-Ray, Photo-Shop, or MSPaint?
@GM - I just woke up, and I blame that, lol sorry XD
@Blondie: lol oh yeah, don't know how that one went over my head.
Man, I wanna go oot and aboot this weekend.
Must be nice. I've been at work for 6 hours already :(
@Blondie: No worries, I'm 3/4 asleep inputting invoices/cross checking what was recently sent to us. You know there is something wrong with a job when you don't even need to pay attention to get things right.
Oot and aboot would be preferable to not out and not about.
@DDD You want to have a fantastic ass weekend too then I take it.
The backup answer behind 42 is "Always make sure to bring a towel."
175K to Pono. We're coming Pono.. We'll be seeing you.... Soon.
@potatten - Yes! I'm sure I'll have some ass dreams about being oot and aboot on some kind of ass mountain.
I may have a fantastic ass, but not sure about a fantastic ass weekend.
And the top comment about it is "So long and thank you for all the fish".
Potatten, because I drew them on the same layer as the box, any attempt the resize them woukd include elements of the box, which would be bad for continuity. It's okay though, I'm just about done with the redraw
@PoT: Which is AMAZING given the backer level disparity....
oh ok LZ!
@GM - Zombie job! Yay! Allows for you to spend time with your fellow corpsmen ;) sounds badass when you tell the buddies at work you're just chatting it up with the other guys who serve with you in the corps I bet…lol
@DDD +1 @EricA: +5
Disparity?
