They are not accepting anything photoshopped in relation tot he cat ears. Yesterday a team at a con managed almost 80 people, then the event organizers told them to disperse.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T12:59:30-05:00
Which IMHO was a shitty thing for the event organizers to do. They certainly want attendees at their con, but they won't let them congregate for fan pics?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:00:07-05:00
Personally, that's a con I would never attend again, especially as reports say the are they met in was very large, didn't impede traffic flow, and was actually out of the main hall.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:00:39-05:00
oops ... "say that the area they met in "
Emma Louise Moore 2015-02-15T13:01:51-05:00
Didnt realise this was possible, so soz if folks already knew, but if anyone manages pages, you can like as that page too. More likey likey for the fast combustable felines!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:01:55-05:00
And my guess tot he thing of awesomeness (trinket) is some of Inman's pre-existing greeting cards with Oatmeal art. They are already made, and would be easy to slip into each out-going order in the box.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-15T13:02:00-05:00
Yeah, I'm really curious as to what their reasoning was for not letting them stay and gather there.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-15T13:02:16-05:00
This project could use another media blitz to give it that final boost in numbers.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:03:43-05:00
The theory presented was some convention underling was exerting his power ... Me? I would have continued to congregate in a public space and do the picture anyway. They did post up their effort, it varies as to count, 77, 78, 80 ...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-15T13:04:14-05:00
It aint over till the police show up with cuffs, dammit.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:06:20-05:00
LOL Creeper. One picture I saw on their Facebook page showed how and where to meet, they weren't even meeting on the main floor, but downstairs of the event in a kind of lobby/foyer area ...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-15T13:07:55-05:00
Yeah, I knew they were doing it outside of the actual floor of the convention so people in the area could go without having tickets to the event. So it was probably someone (security/underling) that worked for the Hall, not the convention, perhaps? Ugh. So annoying.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-15T13:09:19-05:00
Sarah Donner did say she was playing for a wedding this weekend, and it would be her last attempt at the cat ears. We can hope that it has 100+ guests and the bride and groom have a sense of humor. I mean, they're having Sarah play for the wedding - they've got to have happy good spirits. :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:10:10-05:00
Did Donner's Saturday or Friday night show attempt peter out?
Kevin 2015-02-15T13:10:23-05:00
115 likes in 45 minutes isn't too bad.. we just have to remind folks, every now and then. In the final hours we're going to sound like annoying little sticks. ;)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-15T13:16:28-05:00
And with that, I have to go to a jazz concert with the old folks and my kids ... later all, hold down the fort.
Jonathan Brown 2015-02-15T13:17:32-05:00
Maybe a chocolate-covered gummy kitten.

Edward J. Cunningham 2015-02-15T13:24:09-05:00
Don't think this campaign will reach the 100,000% ($10M) mark, but might we be able to hire Nick Saban ($7M salary) to coach our exploding kittens to the National Championship?

Well worth the 13+ minutes to watch, if you can stomach Ian Hecox and crew for that long.
Nope. I got to the 3 minute mark before I had to stop. I just thought I had a case of the olds as the reason why I couldn't watch it.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-02-15T13:26:55-05:00

Okay. Someone said we could "Like" the EK FB Page from other groups we manage (I think) but I cannot figure out how. I tried going to EK from two different groups I moderate and in both cases the page was already marked as "liked". What am I missing?
If you like any of the following...
- Card games
- Kittens
- Explosions
- Laser Beams
- Having fun with your friends
... then please do the following:
#1) Visit the Facebook page for Exploding Kittens. After you get there, please "Like" the page. (We are trying to get 100,000 Likes for an achievement. As to WHY, then here is...
#2) Take a look at the Kickstarter website for Exploding Kittens. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens)
Info: Kickstarter projects are where people say, "I have an Idea, but will anybody pledge money to my cause?" This particular Kickstarter is already going to be funded, so as they say: "No purchase necessary". The only reason to pledge at this point is if you want a copy of the game. BUT... There is still ONE stretch goal remaining. There are a couple of ways we could meet it, but the only way I think we will make it is if we break 100,000 Facebook Likes.
Info part 2: There are no Exploding Kittens here :P This game is about Kittens that CAUSE explosions - by doing the everyday things that Kittens do.
Please Like the page for Exploding Kittens. And then get your friends to do it. And tell them to tell THEIR friends to do it. And so on, and so forth :D
We're so close! We just passed 94,000 likes. We have until Wednesday. I think we can make it!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-15T13:36:42-05:00
@PoT - Maybe you had already done so and forgot? I go to facebook, then by my profile pic, The drop down arrow - "use facebook as" and click on my bakery page... once it clicks to that, i go to exploding kittens...
Tyson Senway 2015-02-15T13:37:03-05:00
They should just give us the last stretch goal out of the goodness of their hearts. We tried hard and failed lol.

Man, backing this project is really hurting my wallet. After backing this game, I looked at other games Elan has backed and backed two of those games... So much fun though!
(also hi! I've occasionally dropped by and read what people have been talking about in the comments but never got around to posting anything)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-15T13:49:36-05:00
@Caitlin: EK was the first KS I ever backed and now I've backed 20. I've decided to take a break from backing anymore as my credit card is getting a workout it doesn't need.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-15T13:52:19-05:00

Mike Kabala 2015-02-15T13:53:05-05:00
I actually like the tag at tke end of a message thing. It's a lot less annoying than the posts trying to guilt people into liking.
Geist- wow, 20 is so many! I have a few I've starred but keep looking at my bank account and forcing myself to not back them. And I've banned myself from searching for new projects since there's so many cool sounding ones out there

Oops, @Stéphane Landry just used the "e" word. People should just stop telling us how "easy" the 100,000 FB Likes should be. It's not, butbwe'll get there if everyone stays positive (read: not desparate.)

Only 20? Over the past year I've pledged for more than 70! KS is addictive.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-15T13:59:44-05:00
And not making it sound easy, because that sends the wrong message.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-15T14:03:37-05:00
@DtQ: I finally realized I went too far when my credit card locked up because 3 KS campaigns charged my card within 24 hours of each other. Plus I realized that just because a campaign is successful doesn't mean you get stuff right away. One campaign I saw was for hot sauce. Even though it ended in 2012, people were still posting as recently as a week ago saying they never got anything and when they tried contacting him, he doesn't answer. There was talk of a lawsuit but I don't think that got off the ground.

@PoT; I found you just near Palatine ...
Home of the once famous (?) Palatine, Lake Wauconda & Zurich Railway.
Oops, transposed the names. http://palatinehistoricalsociety.com/plzw-rr/
@Timothy or someone could post a picture of 200 cat ears...
6,250,000. :)
Post ALL of the cat ears! :)
+69$.
VOTE: http://strawpoll.me/3646837
Food for thought: The stretch goals on Update 9 do not have a deadline listed.
Just sayin...
Interesting... either we get the 100 this weekend, or we won't get it at all. 100k fb seems to be just out of reach.
We'll get the FB likes, just slowly. As the endgame ramps up, we'll be telling all the newbies to like on FB, and it will get done.
Interesting vote... either we get the 100 this weekend, or we won't get them at all.
The 100k fb are just out of reach.
@GCoD. Thanks.
Oops double post, I thought the internets swallowed my first one.
So who has a theory on what the surprise is?
EU FRIENDLY SLEEVED TRINKET!
Did anyone manage a 100 cat ears photo yet? I haven't been able to check in a day or so.
We need to do ALL OF THE THINGS , but a FaceBook like wouldn't come amiss.:
https://www.facebook.com/explodingkittens
Don't do Facebook, but made an account for my like! You're welcome hahaha! Can't wait for the game!!!
@ Kenneth, dont think someone did
We should photo-shoop 100 people with Cat Ears. *Shifty Eyes*
Thank you Bob.
@ Daniel, thought about the same.. not sure they'll accept that.
Sooo who wats guacamole
@Peter No prob. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if we came up one like short. Lol

I've been thinking about backing Unspeakable Words but budget says I shouldn't
Wish I could help out with the 100 person picture, but Boston got blasted with yet more snow and everyone is afraid to leave their houses...
I have backed two KSs before and got both them in a reasonable and expected time frame.
1K likes in the last 9 hours... Nice!
This is my first backed project but I hope we get it around the estimated time lol
I also want at least 1 more deck of EK
I just got my wife to "like" EK on faceyspace!
Doc, same here. I think we will, though. They've kept it simple enough.
