GODSPEED TRINKETS!!!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T08:26:00-05:00
Unnggghhh.......... I need more coffee...... Having trouble getting the blood flowing this morning.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T08:27:32-05:00
I was about to go brew a pot myself
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T08:30:26-05:00
iI already have one brewed. but I'd have to stand all the way up. Then I'd have to walk 12 feet. Pour the coffee... It seems like so much effort right now.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T08:31:41-05:00
I have faith in you PoT think of that magical goodness that you'll get as a reward
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T08:33:27-05:00
Your faith inspires me DTQ. I shall attempt to retrieve the coffee. Wish me luck.
And now I have to go 4 storeys down with the heavy paper cup to smoke.
Mike Dragonpath 2015-02-13T08:36:24-05:00
How come no big companies have found this game yet?
If i was in a main office for some big store like toys'r'us, walmart or similar i would jump on the chance to sell a game that is already getting this big before its even released.
Imagine that pledge if a big chain just went in and said they want 30 games for every store.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-13T08:46:14-05:00
FB likes are moving in the right direction, but slowly. So slowly.

Thank you DTQ. You're alright.

So where are we as far as the 100 cat ears pic? Is someone facilitating that?
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-13T08:47:54-05:00
Just as a caveat, caffeinated beer, from a medical standpoint, is bad news bears. Mixing stimulants and depressants is not usually recommended.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T08:48:18-05:00
@Mike Dragonpath: Go to Youtube and type in "Business Rockstars". Elan does an interview there and the reason why no big companies have pounced on this game is because the EK crew are concentrating on getting the game to us when this is over. THEN they will field any offers by Hasbro and other companies.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T08:48:32-05:00

Hello everyone. Did we get any new members and/or minions last night?

Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T08:49:30-05:00
Good morning all! I took a very I'll advised nap yesterday and wound up waking up and midnight so I've been up all night killing time, almost 6am now, still bored >_<

@Geist - I'm with you, at this rate I may reach for a morning Hard Lemonade before a morning coffee after the long annoying night I had XD
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T08:52:06-05:00
I wonder what would happen if I started putting Bailey's in my coffee at work? I'd have to be sneaky about it since that kind of thing is frowned upon.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T08:53:41-05:00
Does your work require much attention to detail or interaction with others? If not- I say drink away! I'm about to start at 6am I'd love a drinking partner! Haha
Katie Pants Cheery Pie 2015-02-13T08:54:13-05:00
I have to head outside to work... but maybe you all can post this during the day a few times???
I not only had two of my own business oages BUT multiple silly nonsense pages that friends and I started... in totalI had 5 FB 'pages' that I managed that I had LIKE the Exploding Kittens page.
--------
A FB PAGE CAN LIKE ANOTHER FB PAGE!!!
WOOT WOOT!!!
For all of you that have pages you manage (don't get fired or anything if they are work related).
Wow that six day marker came up on us quick it seems. Hardly seems like it's been that long. Only a day or two and we should have another achievement, by the end we will probably nearly get all of them. They picked and paced that list very well.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T08:54:55-05:00

Wasn't Sarah D. getting one set up at her recent concert? Are we going to miss it by 1 goal? The FB likes one seems like it should have happened weeks ago. Too bad we cannot email all the backers ourselves. Heh heh...
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T08:56:50-05:00

Well if they made then all to easy we would have wanted more challenges!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T08:58:17-05:00
@lee, we only need 11k more FB likes.
Joe 2015-02-13T08:58:33-05:00
we only need 11k FB likes, not 21k. we should be able to get it.
Thewarstore.com 2015-02-13T08:58:51-05:00
If anyone is a teacher at a school, I am positive it would be very easy to get a few classes to have a project to make simple cat ears and then take a group picture. If anyone does this some people could chip in and buy the classes a few sets of the 'child' friendly version of the game.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T08:59:01-05:00
@Lee Your math is seriously off we only need a little over 11k likes to get the FB goal, and we're getting around 2-3k likes a day, not including the final 48 hour email blasts, so we'll be fine

dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T09:00:38-05:00
Damnit Blondie I really really need to proof read...I meant coffee drinker not coffee fruit
@Blondie: You tell them! We should nearly get everything. We're really going to blow up the last two days, if not the last 24hrs. The only one that bothers me is twitter, but only because it moves in such leaps and bounds rather than a steady pace.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T09:01:20-05:00
Oh, haha, it's supposed to be a smiley like laughing with it's eyes closed all squinty? Like this emoji kinda

Thanks @Blondie. I knew it was an emoticon, I just couldn't decipher it.
Jonathan Brown 2015-02-13T09:04:45-05:00
It would be good if they sent an update that said "you backers only need 11K more Facebook likes to get the surprise!" - that might get people who have backed but not liked to do the deed. It will be hard to get 11K more likes solely from new backers.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T09:05:12-05:00
Now I'll prolly have to get some cinnamon rolls at 7-11
Joe 2015-02-13T09:05:56-05:00
Is there a way for backers to communicate with each other, other than here in the comments section?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T09:06:25-05:00
In D.C. there is a restaurant called "Ted's Bulletin" that serves cinnamon rolls as big as your head on weekends only.

I had to get up, walk to the machine, put a capsule in, press the button... the wrong button.
And sugar... Too hard.
Oh Idle/Wild. I can't even imagine *Doing his Brando impression* The horror...... the horror....
And now I have to go 4 storeys down with the heavy paper cup to smoke.

Tsveta those pods aren't real coffee.
Well, this is a decent one.
Mike I think that'd be after they see how successful they are with the KS
We all know they are made by donkeys eating ants. Still better than some.
Decent coffee is like decent beer a waste of time
Btw it is now my opinion(read a fact) that everyone should get a coffee grinder...it's a game changer
I'd drink beer if it wakes me up. Alas, not so.
Tsveta there is caffeinated beer...
It's not only the coffee. It's the machine.
Fizz and alcohol prohibited by doc. Beer is both. If I decide to drink, it would be wine. Or something whiskey-like.
We are 1 achievement away from glory.
Alright. I got up and got more coffee. Now where's my medal? Where's my t-shirt? Where are my muthaf#@&ing accolades?!?! That was a hell of an effort.
And Baileys!
*Walks in eating a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich* Morning my fellow Kitten Corps!
