carry on folks. The sugar cannot caramalize itself.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:20:30-05:00
My credit card has the tentative amount charged, pending final clearance, so that looks like it went through ... now the long tedious wait until July ...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:20:34-05:00
@Cheetah - When i have time to sit, ill try to get it switched over.
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-20T12:20:44-05:00
@Cheetah Butt, at work I've exculisvely set-up Gmail/Thunderbird on IMAP, haven;t had issues for 3 years+
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-20T12:21:00-05:00
@Creeper...it will not be easier to get and compile as well as sent emails with large picture attachments to Elan. You won't be able to email more than a handful at a time anyways due to attachment and size restrictions if you are sending best quality.
It will be best to create a Drop Box...sent people the link to drop their pics into and then share that with Elan
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:21:08-05:00
So again - All is well, All emails received! Continue to send screen shots to thecreeper@kittencorps.com
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:21:29-05:00
For future reference: email is not immediate. Sometimes there is a delay between sending and receiving, especially if it contains a lot of big attachments.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:21:36-05:00
I tried linking the Gmail to my AOL account -- Gmail wiped my AOL inbox clean, so I had to delink the two.
Judd Wheatley 2015-02-20T12:21:53-05:00
OK, so I backed $55. That'll get me the NSFW two-pack AND another regular deck, correct?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:22:06-05:00
@Cham Prime, I can imagine! I don't claim to be an expert but I'm assuming you essentially had to go back into the file and re-render each frame from a parallax camera view to create the 3D effect. While that sounds easy on paper I'm guessing getting the camera angels correct on each frame is enough to drive anyone crazy.
Oooh are we discussing setting up our kitten corps emails? I should do that probably...hah, was waiting for a techie friend to help but I'm sure I can probably do it...maybe...hah
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:22:41-05:00
I keep the AOL for various business and hobby reasons, people still contact me after 20 years there.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:22:57-05:00
@Cha! Ok, i understand what you're saying. While I did start a drop box account, I haven't used it yet. I know not everyone uses it- They can email all to me, and then i'll try the drop box and send that to Elan.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:23:24-05:00
@GCoD -I still have my old aol email too! Same one I had since i was 14.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:24:01-05:00
I just know from personal experience, it's so much easier to email a pic from my phone, etc.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:24:19-05:00
@Blondie, don't use Gmail client for your KC email.
BLONDIE: you made it spam kitty! You took the top 20 spot!
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-20T12:24:33-05:00
@Cheetah Butt, can you give me particulars for ingoing/outgoing to setup in tandem with my gmail account? thanks
professor_f@kittencorps.com
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:24:35-05:00
@CB, fair enough. I don't use anything other than gmail at this point (well Outlook at work, but that's for work). like I said, so far I haven't had any issues so I'll just force a refresh from time to time as needed.
Anja "Cha!" Allen 2015-02-20T12:24:47-05:00
@Creeper...yes I was going to suggest that next if you have a drop box to just get all the pics that you receive via email into a folder (you can even create sub folders to group different pics) and then just share the main folder link with Elan...voila all in one place :)
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-02-20T12:24:53-05:00
@Historian,
Way more complex than that, actually. Since the original was stop-motion, there were no files for us to rerender. There was A LOT of hand rotoscoping, and us rendering things to create the 'right eye'. It was terribly hard and painful.
Speedy 2015-02-20T12:25:06-05:00
So same email since 14?! - must be a hard year Creeper :P
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-20T12:25:09-05:00
@Dr P!! That's one imporessive memory you got. I already forgot about it. BAAAD PROF
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-20T12:25:59-05:00
@CB, why not use the gmail client? It just takes a bit longer to retrieve, but I;ve connected several other accounts from domains and had no issues (again...)
@Whoever it was that asked: I'm the trainer. Though next week, or whenever the manager gets back from Houston, I become the trainee learning how to process the US side of the payroll.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:26:39-05:00
@Cha! Will do. Still have people send them to me, since we've got a great list going already. Later this afternoon/evening, I"ll compile them into drop box.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:26:47-05:00
@Cham Prime, oh my, I didn't think about that... that's much, MUCH worse.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-02-20T12:27:31-05:00
@Historian,
The one saving grace for us was there wasn't any motion blur to deal with since it was stop-motion. :)
@Blondie: I had something to say to you...but now that it is the next day...I honestly can't remember what it was....it will come back to me. Probably when I'm out to lunch with HR, IT, and our receptionist...going to be an interesting lunch.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:27:51-05:00
Hey, POZ made #57 on the comments list ...
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:28:14-05:00
@Prof. F, send an email to cheetahbutt@kittencorps.com so I can set up your KittenCorps email and send you the setup instructions. Thanks.
Marianne Arnesen 2015-02-20T12:28:53-05:00
While the speed has slowed down a tad - I would just say thank you for all the fun I've had (trying to) read all the comments here as well as all the stuff everyone has done to reach the strechy (and crazy) goals so we all can enjoy the results so from me to you
A BIG THANK YOU :)
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:29:19-05:00
@Cham Prime, thank god for small favors huh?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:29:24-05:00
@Prof. F, you can use a Gmail client, but I don't recommend it because it's so slow. A direct mail client is just more efficient.
@CB - I'm not I'm trying to set it up on my phones mail client but having some issues as it's asking for a username and PW for the incoming mail server, which I don't have unless it's the same as my email and password...?
@Potatten - I know! I saw when I finally got home with food! So psyched ^_^
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-02-20T12:29:59-05:00
@Historian,
heh Yeah. I did, at least, get to go to the premiere in Hollywood. That was fun. :)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:30:49-05:00
So question? If Elan has said we can up our backing amount, will the $$ total on the header here rise as well?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:30:56-05:00
@Cham Prime, that must have been a blast. :)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-20T12:31:17-05:00
CB, how do I go in and change the password once it's set up?
@Cheetah Butt: I sent an email to you as well, figure I should ask to get mine started.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-20T12:31:41-05:00
As i go to bake, just remind people about the screen shots and emailing them to me.
@GCoD - interesting thought. We should keep an eye on that.
Προφέσσορ Φ 2015-02-20T12:31:43-05:00
@Cheetah Butt, noited will send the email.
I use 3 computers in total + 2 mobile devices, can't be super bothered to setup a gazillion clients around, hence my decision
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:31:53-05:00
@Blondie, Incoming client, outgoing client, etc. are all in the confirmation email I sent you. Do you still have that?
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-02-20T12:32:18-05:00
@Historian,
Yeah, was. That's the only time I've been able to do that, so was fun. :) Walked the red carpet, saw some stars. Those were the days.... lol
@CB - I have the email you sent but my client is asking for things not in your email including requiring a username and password for the incoming mail server which I don't have in the email you sent- I have my email and password, is that the same?
Finlay 2015-02-20T12:33:48-05:00
So now that the game supports 5 players does the NSFW deck also support 5 players so you can play with ten or just 9?
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:33:52-05:00
@LZ, it's different for different mail clients. Check the documentation that came with your mail client.

I would love to see a wold map of where all the cards will end up
Brian Garlick 2015-02-20T12:36:14-05:00
@jeff, to answer your question about the number on the Kickstarter campaign, no we won't see anymore increases here. Funds will now be given through "backer kit" which don't reflect on the numbers through kickstarter. Once the campaign ends, that's the final number that kickstarter will report.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-20T12:36:22-05:00
@Cham Prime, have fun!
@Corps, I'm out for a bit too, need to get some work done around here!
Mike Kabala 2015-02-20T12:36:38-05:00
@Blondie, use your email address and password for both incoming and outgoing servers.
We could always ask them, if they are up to the challenge...and have the spare time...to create one themselves, they have all the info needed(or will when backer kit finishes) to create one, and we can post it to Kitten Corps site.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-20T12:41:03-05:00
I think the highlight of the AMA last night was when someone asked:
Are you guys floating any particular ideas for expansions? I'm really excited for my decks, and would love to see some crazy editions.
and Elan replied with:
We have a notebook full of expansion ideas. But first we gotta get this game in all your hands!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:41:17-05:00
I don't think anyone was intentionally trying to ruin the Google Map, the little "hand" you used to move your pin could grab anyone's if you tried to slide the map, or zoom.
@Blondie: I'm just talking about a Google map thingy, with just pins that show where people are. No personal info, just the city/town/hamlet/farm-in-the-middle-of-butt-f***-nowhere.
@GCoD- I don't think the hatred of Munchkin is just about the expansions, some people just don't like playing a potentially endless game of "sabotage the other guy" which is all munchkin is really
Also I'm getting emails! Huzzah! I can't reply to any though as my client says that all my mail recipients are being "rejected by the server" :(
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-20T12:50:36-05:00
A few years ago on BGG, Steve Jackson games took legal action against some fool who was pirating Ogre. The outcry to support the copyright infringing Ba****d was amazing.

Also I did say goodbye to you yesterday but you missed it so that's not my fault...lol

@Blondie, also be sure to use IMAP and not POP3.
Oh... I did get the third cookie! I proudly except my title as [one of the gabbiest]!
@Creeper... :) Thank you!
@Cham Prime, Even getting to do it once is an amazing opportunity, not many get that experience. :)

Good morning all!
@Finlay: Reddit user comment stated NSFW is only 4 player.
Off to make the donuts! Back later....
Finlay, no, just the regular deck
@Blondie: Actually, it was about sharing my spot as #17 if you got cold down there in #20. ;)
K thanx cb
I would love to see a wold map of where all the cards will end up

@Cham Prime, have fun!
@Corps, I'm out for a bit too, need to get some work done around here!
@Blondie, use your email address and password for both incoming and outgoing servers.
We are Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, and Shane Small, creators of the card game "Exploding Kittens." Ask us anything. by elanlee in IAmA
[–]elanlee[S] 93 points 16 hours ago
Yup, a fourth kitten! That also means by combining two decks, you can play with up to 9 players!
@Historian: Have fun. I get to wait for this damned government website to work again, then mail stuff off to a guy.
@Blondie, if that doesn't work, can you email me a screenshot?
They tried a Google Map of where everyone was -- but anyone could edit it, and everyone ended up being moved all over the world, or even deleted.
Okay I think I finally got it set up! Maybe! We'll see!
Email blondie@kittencorps.com and I'll find out soon enough I guess lol :p
@Marianne that's a great idea. Maybe Oats can do this for us to see how much of the would will be seeing exploding kittens
I'm back for a bit anyway
If there are any more email setup questions from any of you, please contact cheetahbutt@kittencorps.com so that I can help you.
@GCoD - yeah I saw it - put mine in anyway but disapointing that a few can ruin the fun for som many
I might get one later CB, just not for right now.
@CB - Yeah using the email and password worked when I tried it a second time not sure why it was being picky about the first time
@GM - Haha well I see you still are working on your 1k cookie, I'll share mine if you are hungry ;) lol
We could always ask them, if they are up to the challenge...and have the spare time...to create one themselves, they have all the info needed(or will when backer kit finishes) to create one, and we can post it to Kitten Corps site.

I don't think anyone was intentionally trying to ruin the Google Map, the little "hand" you used to move your pin could grab anyone's if you tried to slide the map, or zoom.
I feel like they may be breaking some privacy rules on KS if they post 200k+ backers personal info online lol
if there are going to be expansions that could mean MOAR KICKSTARTERS!
Yeah I'm pretty sure the first expansion will be THE MOST QUICKLY FUNDED KS EVER lol
@GCoD - maybe (I love that you don't think evil first :)
They wouldn't necessarily need a KS for the expansions.
@Blondie: I'm just talking about a Google map thingy, with just pins that show where people are. No personal info, just the city/town/hamlet/farm-in-the-middle-of-butt-f***-nowhere.
They could do a holiday themed one Quack! (Christmas, Halloween, and maybe even something else!)
Yay - your pledge has been collected (final stage - allready checked my card earlier)
I haven't checked my pin in awhile to see if it moved.
They do too many expansions, and this could become another Munchkin -- and most of you know there are gamers who just hate that game with a passion.
...Speaking of privacy law thingies...Cheetah...you sent me the wrong information for it. :P
I'm not Beantoes. xD
@GCoD: That's not the fault of the game people that people want to keep buying new content.
@Evan, yes, the whole "I hate successful games" movement seems counter-intuitive to me.
But you HAVE bean toes, it's an easy mistake to make GM.
People hate Munchkin? I love Munchkin.
@GCoD- I don't think the hatred of Munchkin is just about the expansions, some people just don't like playing a potentially endless game of "sabotage the other guy" which is all munchkin is really
Depending on the Munchkin, it could be good...with the right sauce that is. ;)
Some of it is also, some folks just don't like Steve Jackson Games. 35 years of on-going success makes you a target.
Mmmm....munchkins....
Also I'm getting emails! Huzzah! I can't reply to any though as my client says that all my mail recipients are being "rejected by the server" :(
A few years ago on BGG, Steve Jackson games took legal action against some fool who was pirating Ogre. The outcry to support the copyright infringing Ba****d was amazing.
Munchkin? Children… it is all about children… so don't forget the children!
I got your response Blondie.
