@Catness - LOL I just love imagining you using this, like the HR woman backs away all like "Woah, woah, I didn't know you two were so serious! Despite that wedding ceremony I was invited to and the ring on your finger I hadn't the faintest idea, by all means GO WOMAN GO!"
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T13:13:46-05:00
After the Civil War, lots of Northerners moved South to take advantage of the opportunities. They would pack all of their belongings in a big carpet bag. Hence the name "Carpetbaggers"
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:14:24-05:00
Interesting.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T13:14:36-05:00
@CB Shouldn't Historian should be the one giving history lessons? :P I joke, but as a history major A+ sir
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:15:16-05:00
Blondie, she was just like, "Oh. *understanding nod* Ok."

Geist, well done!
Jonathan Brown 2015-02-13T13:16:03-05:00
So, if 10,000 of us created Facebook pages for our cats / other pets and had them "Like" the Kickstarter...
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:16:22-05:00
That's true.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:16:38-05:00
Jonathan, this is the kind of actionable suggestion that doesn't get you blown up. I approve.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:17:03-05:00
Jonathan, well, not the 10k part, but I do have a cat and I can make her a page.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T13:18:04-05:00
"I will not be Thunderclapping as I practice safe sexy times, every time." Congrats. This was comment #34K
Make sure you create Pages NOT profiles or your in violation of FB TOS... They can permanently ban you from FB for having more than 1 profile if they find out.
Wow I'm getting a workout on explaining today. LOL
@Geist because there just aren't enough clothes in the world for all our moods and we are in a different mood when we shop than when we want to go out. Hope that helped. :D
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:24:55-05:00
DtQ, yes, but now my cat likes Exploding Kittens.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T13:25:00-05:00
That $105K is about three days at the current backing rate.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T13:25:16-05:00
I think we will pass the pono doubtful for the Ouya though :-(
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:25:17-05:00
DtQ, you can't take that away from her. And I don't know why you would want to. :-(
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T13:26:19-05:00
@Blondie, my name came from me providing information regarding future history in the EK universe we were creating such as this little tidbit: transformittens won't make an appearance until 2243. That's when kittetron blows up.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T13:26:37-05:00
If you have FB pages for your pets or want to anyway by all means do so but my point was only that it's not necessary
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-13T13:26:37-05:00
In fact, with some luck, we could pass Pono tomorrow (Saturday). With greater exposure, we could pass Ouya, but it will be a real stretch.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T13:26:55-05:00
@Explaitten: That is actually a pretty good explanation. I'm impressed.
@catness I'll bet your cat is constantly staring at your monitor and gets agitated every time you look at anything but exploding kittens. My Grumpy Cat insists we stare at EK instead of doing anything else.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T13:27:51-05:00
Please tell your car that we appreciate her help... Though I think it's strange for a car to endorser a game about kittens exploding but a I've said before I'm not a cat person so what do I know
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:30:07-05:00
:-)
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:31:13-05:00
Oh, my gosh, everyone. In a half hour, I get to take a nap!
@Geist thanks. I've given it some thought. Being bedridden for several years gives you lots of time to think about all sorts of things. I've not solved the problems with the world - don't know how we can get to world peace, food for everyone, no more disease, no poverty. But some questions... Well I've got the time and with the brain working funky I'm much more out of the box which helps lead to "oh what about..."
OK, my pet Chihuahua has his own page. Now how do I get this page to Like Exploding Kittens? Whenever I go to the Exploding Kittens, it thinks I'm me instead of my pet.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-13T13:37:05-05:00
@Explaitten: I think Elan as the whole world peace thing on lock. If he can invent games that get people to form communities, I think he can bring peace to everyone.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T13:38:13-05:00
I must leave on another VDay quest. The quest for filet Mignon, heavy cream, mushrooms, and asparagus
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:39:09-05:00
In the top right you'll have an icon with a drop down menu that lets you act like a different page. Do that, then go to the EK page and like it.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-13T13:39:57-05:00
I must leave on another VDay quest for filet mignon, heavy cream, mushrooms, and asparagus!
@LZ: We just need 5,000 people to create a page to like EK with!!! Because math!!!
Mr. PACG 2015-02-13T13:54:00-05:00
No way EK will 'audit' facebook and twitter followers to determine which are real, fake, duplicate. Not an easy task, way too time consuming for them to care. I'd say they have accomplished their objective of creating a TON of social media engagement w/ all the #update9 posts, new followers and general activity on their social pages.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-13T13:54:32-05:00
@LZ, you're a funny guy... Who's gonna get done blowed up by Catness if you aren't careful...
Potatten, we just need 5 people to create 2,000 pages and like EK on Facebook!
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:56:54-05:00
Potatten, I can have my cat unlike the page, but my dog page is totally legit. It has followers and has existed for over 18 months.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T13:57:32-05:00
Well, I've done my part. Kitten Corps has like them, and so has the dummy account I set up for games. That's as far as I'm willing to cheat the system. Unless my wife happens to walk away from the computer while logged in....
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T13:57:56-05:00
I don't care. I still think it's cool for a dog to like Exploding Kittens, just not while he's chasing them. He's older now though and probably wouldn't be able to keep up like he used to.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:58:05-05:00
LZ, it'll be easy to explain, too.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:58:20-05:00
If she asks you about it, you just say, "We are MARRIED."
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-13T13:58:28-05:00
Meh, Facebook is fine as it is. It's marching towards 100k at a steady pace. All we have to do is remind the community here, for when they check in at the end. That will push the Facebook over 100k if it's not there by the last two days.
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T13:59:14-05:00
Facebook is coming along and I have to think the cat ears will happen.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-13T13:59:23-05:00
Hell, it added 500 likes in the last 3 hours.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T14:00:00-05:00
Oh wait, I just remembered something... she had the computer remember her password! Muahahahahahahahaaaaaah!
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-13T14:00:28-05:00
If it does half that pace then they'll break 100k.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T14:00:37-05:00
I also think it's cool for my dog to have hout annoying my is own Facebook page. It's a good way to post a TON of photos without annoying my regular Facebook friends.
I wish some of my friends would do this with their baby pictures. Who wants to see 1,000 photos of some kid wearing nothing but a diaper?
CB, one of my friends did do this with his kid. So good!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-13T14:02:21-05:00
I wish there was some way to disable this damn touch pad. I never use it. I always use a mouse.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-13T14:02:59-05:00
Disappeared for a little bit, catching up on some shows, scrolling through some comments though I feel the need to share that I am deeply jealous of the following:
1. @DTQ's AMAZING sounding fillet mignon and other valentines goodies
2. @Catness's upcoming nap time. I want a nap, but cannot take one for some time still :( ENJOY IT FOR US BOTH!
3. How easy it is for everyone else to set up social media for their pets, mine have been pestering me for hours about the right profile picture...
Mr. PACG 2015-02-13T14:04:12-05:00
@Mike Kabala - Google for "touchfreeze" = free,safe utility that disables mouse pad while typing, etc. works great for what you want to do
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T14:04:56-05:00
CB, there's definitely a way to disable it. What kind of machine and OS are you on?
Shaun "Oblivitten of Goatanus" Fergus 2015-02-13T14:05:35-05:00
I shared this KS with most of my friends on Fb so the EK page shows up on their feeds to be visible to all of their contacts. I even shared it with a gaming group I am a part of so that broadened the exposure... maybe sending the info to boardvgame sites like boardgamegeek.com would increase potential support...
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T14:07:19-05:00
Blondie, I try to be generous, but I can't share naps. Mostly because it's not possible, but also because I needs it!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-13T14:07:33-05:00
I just push a button on my laptop, and it disables the touchpad
Marie "Catness" C 2015-02-13T14:08:45-05:00

It says it was comment 34,006 on my screen GCoD.
@GCoD: LOL! :-P
No, Geiste's comment was #34K, not mine ... LOL
Hmm... I seem to have created a group instead of a page...
GCoD was referring to the comment six places below his.
@Explaitten: Would you be able to explain why no matter how many clothes I buy, I never have anything to wear?
My border collie, Sally, highly approves of exploding kittens. You can check her Facebook at Sally Rose Border Collie.
The count is currently at $6.1 million. We might make it pass Pono yet.
My cat now likes Exploding Kittens
I am highly confident that we will get the FB likes without our pets liking on FB... We have plenty of time plus the end of project surge
We're $105K from Pono, and the averages indicate we can pass it.
@Geist because there just aren't enough clothes in the world for all our moods and we are in a different mood when we shop than when we want to go out. Hope that helped. :D
DtQ, yes, but now my cat likes Exploding Kittens.

@Catness: Nap when you are dead. Party with us now.
Thanks @Catness. My dog Scoobee Dew just Liked Exploding Kittens.
CB, nice!
That's it! Those of us who have already liked it just need to create another page through which we like it again! Bing bang boom! It's done
Hmmmmm....I might go and create a page for my beloved cats. I don't want to resurrect my old personal FB account.
btw guys, if Elan reads this, do you think he will not count the new likes knowing that its the same person?
Geist, I don't know how we would calculate how many likes to not count.
Geist, anyway, it's legit. If the pages have followers, they'll see the update.
Geist is right guys, each time people try to find a loophole the EK team closes it.
@Historian, I think Elan and the team look at these comments more often then we realize. They just don't post stuff.
@Geist, it wouldn't surprise me.
But I mean, come on! This is an easy one! It should have been done a long time ago! Like, last year! ;-P
LZ, immediately upon the achievement being announced!

@LZ, you're a funny guy... Who's gonna get done blowed up by Catness if you aren't careful...
It's cheating, I refuse to play the system. we haven't needed to so far, we don't need to now.
No, Dr P, it has to be ALL of them!
Something about moonbeas?

We would just have to post it on one of the bigger boards in the right way.
