I agree that EK (thanks to its simplicity) will ship on or near to on time. I have backed projects that shipped early, some on-time, most ship late, and I have also backed projects that imploded and will never ship rewards, as well as projects that have been in limbo for years now ...

If they switch to the plastic scratch n sniff cards, we could be in for a long wait... ;-O

Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-15T14:23:41-05:00
Does anyone other than me realize, that on the worst funding day this project has had to date, they made more than 5 TIMES their stated goal amount?
This campaign continues to explode my head. Genius.
Andrew Knowlton 2015-02-15T14:25:09-05:00
Any Chance Elan that if we do not make that 100k likes on Facebook that you guys will give us that last stretch goal? We are so close 29/30 achievements and 94k+ likes on Facebook! It sounds like you guys are excited to give it to us as well. We do not all want to miss out!!!!!
Emma Louise Moore 2015-02-15T14:25:29-05:00
@Bob when you look at EK's page, you see the bar on the cover photo with 'Liked' 'Following' and there you'll see a '...' hover over that and theres a drop down list where it'll say 'Like as Exploding Kittens Supporters' - that should do it...
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-15T14:26:39-05:00
Oh Elan! If you're still here. There was a request that the cards be "plastic". Just the one request though. I promised I'd pass it along if you popped in.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-15T14:27:30-05:00
@Emma Louise. Thank you! I'll try that.
Edward J. Cunningham 2015-02-15T14:27:30-05:00

It won't be 'easy' but we will get the 100k likes on fecesbook. We need something like 1500 a day to get them all, and there have been 1k in the last nine hours

@DtQ: You have more patience than I do. Two years is a long time to wait for some dice. Maybe this dude should have thought this out a little more. I don't mind waiting half a year past the deadline but 2 years (actually it's coming up on 3 years for that project) is a bit much. Why not just admit defeat and refund folks?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-15T14:57:19-05:00
Is $Blondie still planning an attempt today in LA, or has that already happened?
Woah, wait what? Just got back. What projects is 2 years past delivering dice?????

Catzalcoatal 2015-02-15T15:04:31-05:00
Ohhhhh...some dude posted that the dice dude just had a heart attack.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-15T15:06:10-05:00
Although, at 3 years running and only 534 backers he could have made the dice himself by now.
Catzalcoatal 2015-02-15T15:09:21-05:00
Also, looking at his updates as of 2014 he's still working on the molds..........his updates remind me of what happened to the Duke Nukem creator. He was never satisfied and kept revising Duke Nukem 2 over and over until he ran out of funds and the project died.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-15T15:10:17-05:00
@Catz: he could have farmed out the work to someone else. He is a single parent of a young child, plus he has a full time job. I don't see that as having much time to get a project like that off the ground.
Anna 2015-02-15T15:11:50-05:00
Try a KS approaching three years to deliver the base good: Kittens in a Blender (card game). Read the comments section if you want to see how bad it is. I own the base game. The KS reprinted the base as a bonus, but the KS was for the expansion that still has not been produced.
5,500 more facebook likes until we have this..... Eep. It's going to be tight
Michael Haukaas 2015-02-15T15:15:46-05:00
Yeah, KiaB has been a complete fiasco. I should have known that I shouldn't have supported it once I found out who was running the thing.

We are trying to improve the visibility of the FB page by adding the following tag to ALL of our posts. Please feel free to copy and paste it to your own posts here.
Just signed up with Twitter specifically to help towards the achievements. I know Twitter is a long shot, but I'd already liked FaceBook, so I thought I'd go ahead and do what I could. So, did that picture ever come together?

At the rate this is going the final outcome will not be more then 6.5 million. I REALLY want to see this pass to the 3rd place of most funded campaigns ever... or more !!! I dare every backer to post this on their facebook walls (again?) and get their friends onboard !!!
Nicholas Atwell 2015-02-15T16:44:51-05:00
You know, I'm fairly certain we could reach the necessary number of facebook likes in under a half an hour if Matthew Inman/The Oatmeal just linked to the page and asked everyone to like. It'd jolt awake all the backers who haven't been paying attention.

Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-15T16:53:04-05:00
Not yet. It's starting to look like that one might be unobtainium.
Love you guys for trying to move mountains on the most trying of days. Sundays are always slow, third Sundays being the slowest of these, this far in. You are chipping away at the average of backers per hour we need to meet our stretch goal, making the difficult plausable.
At this point, we're down to a needed average of around 1400 per hour vs. 1500 per hour several hours back. Typically there is an upswing at the end of KS campaigns, but as this is already the most-saturated KS campaign in terms of number of backers, who knows what the future brings. We are in unexplored territory. Onward, through the unknown. Together, we can do this!
Elan promises we'll get it in the original projected time frame. Also I've gotten all my other projects in a sensible time

@Geist, I've gotten about 40, but most projects miss their goal by a couple of months, so patience helps a lot.
@ Satoru - what happened with that? I thought someone organised something for it.
