BTW as for the super special surprise we earned I think we should not post about it until we know for sure that everyone has it so we don't ruin the element of surprise for anyone

a cat riding a moose in space that shits rainbows. There is an alien in a UFO in the background folding a girl from earth. I think that would be a pretty cool drawing, just saying.

@PoT, It's late afternoon here. Day was very busy. Need to do some change controls and a take live of systems for production. Then I will fall into the blissful sleep known as exploding kittens dreamland. Thanks for asking.

I foresee the story of Exploding Kittens going down in marketing history as one of those cautionary tales with a happy ending of what happens when you underestimate both your market (the internet) and your product (things involving cats, lasers, and boobs).

I bought in at the very beginning with the $35 NSFW "booster" pack (it wasn't a standard deck at the time). How do I get a second set so I can give it as a gift? Do I just double my contribution, or do I throw in $20 since they are getting the upgraded everything now?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-18T11:11:23-05:00
I'm thinking these fellows knew _exactly_ what they were doing going in to this. Assuming they'd only sell 10K decks when The Oatmeal is so popular? No ... and the rest of the campaign was very well planned and enacted.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-18T11:12:17-05:00
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-18T11:12:47-05:00
Perhaps they didn't expect to have to make a half million decks in the end, but they knew they'd be selling a ton of them anyway. The dollar numbers are probably wowing them too.
Jason Roberts 2015-02-18T11:12:51-05:00
33 more hours to go!!! Yippee! I just hope there is a final countdown to shipment!
@GCoD: Sometimes chaos looks better organized than the best laid plans, and that's far more often than not I assure you. They do have business savy yes, but I'm above giving them that much credit. NO ONE is that good.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-18T11:13:01-05:00
@John It should come with the standard deck, as I understand it.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-18T11:13:19-05:00
@John Osborn. If you want another NSFW pack, up your pledge by $35, and you will get a KF and an NSFW deck, if you only want KF, just up by $20.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-18T11:13:24-05:00
@Josh - Well if you want another PAIR of decks, which is most cost effective and would be nicest for a friend I can only assume as the NSFW deck is a KS exclusive you just double your pledge of $35 to get two pairs
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-18T11:13:42-05:00
John add another $35 for a SFW/NSFW combo or another $20 for just a SFW

@DTQ - No I was late to the twitter party so I made up my own drinking game when I got home to drink every time someone shows up insanely late asking for drawings still- safe to say I was rather tipsy last night lol
I'm not really going to be able to do the pizza party :*( Someone eat my share! One whole pizza with pizzazz.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-18T11:19:05-05:00
Why haven't the exploding comments been updated in over 16 hours?
Since I just thought it was an automated counter that updated on the half hour I'm confused at it being stuck- unless I'm just being super blonde and missed that someone has been updating it themselves?

How freakin' cool are these guys? You gotta know they're lookin' at 20 to 26 bucks a pizza. With no real return on the investment other than good will.
@PoT: I don't know about you but I WOULD be using coupons and mass order discounts..... either way it's still not cheap and I doubt they'll cheap out unless they don't have a choice in the matter.
Brandon Lieu 2015-02-18T11:24:04-05:00
Wish pizza parties were in your neighbours to the south (aka Canada) I would ride my polar bear out of my igloo to get to one, everyone eat tons of pizza and celebrate this ridiculous game!
@Blondie: The EKLOL Awards are given to any individual that passes 1k comments during the Exploding Kittens Kickstarter Campaign 2015. The award is a gold-plated kitten-shaped cookie (with kitten ears) made out of stale fruitcake which was kept in a flannel sleeve, made of hairy dragon boob hair, under the lake guarded by Octokitten. One side of the award has the imprint Lots of Love and the other side shows Lack of Life. It is, of course, 101% EU Friendly including the Ziploc bag preserving maximum staleness and presented tastefully in a new old maybe super special KS exclusive collector's tin box with paw clasp. There may or may not be a red velvet mite surprise included ... and maybe glitter. The Award is delivered paw to paw by Lord ZomBitten. Take this award in advance as you would surely, NAY!!, certainly have earned it if you have not already done so. I award you this cookie in good faith of your continued effort to be the top jabberwockie there even done was!!!!
It was crazy in here KitKat
Oh heck yeah, I saw. I had to space myself
Now we're back to just our plain boring old selves. Oh, for at least one EU friendly comment, or a plastic cards request.
It was like a hurricane of madness....

That looked more insulting than I meant it to in reference to the pic from yesterday...

Kit-Kat... comparatively....
So, it appears my estimate was off by roughly 1k yesterday to have reached 50k comments. Oh well, still got ~6k from all that crazy.

Million dollars that is.
@DtQ: It is? I was hoping it was Friday
haha @PoT compared to yesterday, I agree.
@DtQ: I was off for the holiday and an extra snow day=weekend. Don't try to throw me off because I'm sleepy.
it seems like yesterday was a big recruitment day for the Kitten Corps.

@John if you want to give a set to a friend add another $35 on. If you want to give the friend just the kid/safe for work version add $20 on.
At this point, if everyone ordered only one deck, they need to print 353,911 decks.
no problem sorry we all bombarded you with the same answer...to bad these comments don't update in real time
It's why we're here John. That and we have no actual lives of our own.
Just doubled my NSFW deck as well. Great idea @ John.
Blondie how are you alive???
@GCoD And that is a very unreal "if".
speak for yourself POT...who am i kidding i have no life :(
I have my work and my dinner time.

People are still posting picture request over on #Update13 LOL It really is too bad they don't read the 1st comment before posting. :(
@Jason - suggest a place
B-b-but if the counter is broken...HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I GET MY COOKIE?! D:
I was almost to half a cookie when it broke T_T *sobs*
