Jackson- what subject did they teach?
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:07:19-05:00
It's actually rather scary how the comments haven't stopped here. Even the Reaper Bones Kickstarters didn't have their comments continue with this kind of volume more than a day or two after the Kickstarters ended. I can only conclude that exploding kittens are more awesome than plastic miniatures. :-)
If you want to join kitten corps simply send CB an email with your [nickname/character name], any special powers, what kind of mutatten you want, and what alignment you are. CheetahButt@kittencorps.com
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:10:54-05:00
@Dr. Potatten: Thank you. I joined the campaign about halfway through, and just reading the flood of comments was so entertaining that I felt no need to participate. But now that there's no pledge count and backer count to be distracted by, the comments have become something to get involved in. :-)
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:11:04-05:00
Jackson - aww. Queens english or American?
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:12:31-05:00
Queen's, of course. I'm in the snow-deprived part of Canada, on the West Coast near the 49th.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:13:42-05:00
The only good thing I can say about my region's climate is that we don't have to shovel rain.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-23T21:20:10-05:00
Welcome Jackson!!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T21:23:35-05:00
Good evening All. Anything newsworthy?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-23T21:24:43-05:00
Oh sure. It's 9 degrees out, hardly any tables, kitchen closes in 1 1/2 hours, but let's have a party of 22 come in. Not in the mood. I miss my case of wine already.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-23T21:25:07-05:00
@cane- I got a date!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T21:26:39-05:00
Woot! A real date, with a person?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T21:28:33-05:00
My only news is that Café Press sent a shipment notification for my KC T-shirt.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:29:06-05:00
The Creeper - Can we check him out for you? To make sure he will be a gentleman and get you home before 10pm?
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:29:42-05:00
Ice all over, worked from home and same story for tomorrow.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:32:03-05:00
Jackon - Aww. No French but the Queens english. That is rough. I have worked with folks who grew up on the Queens english and it is funny how many words are different.
Sean Dawson 2015-02-23T21:42:33-05:00
I just wanted to say hi to everyone! and
goodnight from Michigan. �
Hi and sweet dreams! Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:43:44-05:00
Hi Sean. Good night Sean.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:44:16-05:00
Experiencing - It's weird, I agree. I think it's time we normalized the spelling across all dialects. I personally prefer the "-ize" ending of such words, because the letter Z is underused enough.
I was distracted by the Exploding Kittens play demo videos. This game is going to be a blast... literally. :-)
Nathan Barnes 2015-02-23T21:45:52-05:00
What the hell, I just checked my bank statement and it took out $72 for the $35 tier (Am in Australia so had to tack on the absurd $20 postage). Jeez!
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:45:52-05:00
Jackson - Flavour, colour, etc. I even use a mixture of the two englishes when I write and document reviewers at work disagree on which word is the correct word to use. I stick with what makes sense to me.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-23T21:46:14-05:00
Bed bugs don't bite me. I bite them...
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-23T21:47:19-05:00
Nathan, did you also take into account that the listed prices were US dollars?
Nathan Barnes 2015-02-23T21:48:07-05:00
@Kevin. I did. But I wasn't expecting it to be that damn much.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:48:42-05:00
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised to hear such a comment about bed bugs coming from one who calls himself "Lord Zombitten"... :-)
Experiencing: I prefer the -our spellings too. They're more substantial. Whatever that means.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-23T21:50:16-05:00
My preference is to do away with extraneous letters.
Humor is also good and just as, if not more, important.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T21:55:31-05:00
To mess with people, I then further pronounce them Hum-ow-er, col-ow-er and falv-ow-er (using our as the template).
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:55:38-05:00
Please advice on more Jackson.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:56:58-05:00
Reminds me of people from the midwest that prounce dawn and don the same way.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:57:43-05:00
Well, when it comes down to the fundamentals, I think we should just go back to the days before standardized spelling, and just let everyone spell words how they think they sound. We'd have to be a lot smarter as a society, though, and the powers that be have put enough effort into dumbing us all down that they might not like that idea.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T21:57:47-05:00
Tally Ho! Cheers! Brilliant! are some of the expression I like.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T21:59:18-05:00
I like those too, but Brilliant! is the only one of the three that I use regularly.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-23T22:00:32-05:00
I do fine with flavor, color, and humor in my life, and when I game, my armor provides me plenty of protection.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:02:08-05:00
Evan: I agree completely re: spelling and communication. Spelling is the last thing you need to know in order to speak a language. Hence my earlier comment about doing away with spelling standards altogether; I wasn't joking. Really. :-)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:02:38-05:00
True, and Armour sounds like you are sheathed in meat products.
Take a deep breath and breathe it out slowly everyone, language is not solid or tangible but fluid and abstract.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:03:09-05:00
And I approve of the pun on "humor"... being humorous about our humors is important. :-)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:04:33-05:00
All this language talk is giving me a case of the vapours.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:05:25-05:00
Evan: True, but mathematics and formal logic are also abstract, yet have definite truth and falsehood. However, that only applies to language as far as using the same term for the same idea; spelling is an artificial system devoid of logic in the first place, so expecting logical rules to apply to it is silly.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:06:36-05:00
And the Great Cane of Doom has requested a topic change. I concur. Someone pick a topic randomly.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:08:29-05:00
Oh, I'm fine with the topic, I was just trying to inject another 'our' spelling to the mix.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:09:49-05:00
Well played, sir. Well played. I'm a bit sleep-deprived today; I guess it's showing. :-(
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:10:08-05:00
Yet the only truth in math and formal logic is the truth we've forced to be there to explain our own existence. No number has value without an application. Time for instance is simply a made up measurement created to fulfill our understanding of a fourth dimension, a direction in which we all constantly travel temporally. A 'second' is only what we've dictated it to be after all.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:10:46-05:00
Because we don't want finely ground grains all over the carpet.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:10:49-05:00
Harbour ... etc. I have a friend who says "I spell pier: "quay"
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:11:35-05:00
Ah, but time does exist outside of human perception. atomic decay is timed precisely.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:13:22-05:00
Evan: I'm referring to the basic concept of quantity. There would still be (more or less) a hundred billion stars in each of a billion billion galaxies, whether there were minds around to try to count them or not. And what GCoD said about time.
Yes that is the case, I was referring to the labeling of it with [units] and that even numbers are fluid. A 'second' on the other hand is rather insignificant to that concept compared to the river of time.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:14:38-05:00
And math exists as well. We call the quantities one, two, three, but they still exist as quantities no matter what we call them. Eins, zwei, drei ... uno, dos, tres ...
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T22:15:36-05:00
New Topic - should people attending Oscar after parties wear underwear? If so, should it be a kitten corps thong?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:16:36-05:00
In fact, defining math as a scientific problem would allow us to converse with other races on similar terms, once we define the math we use to their math terms. Hydrogen , oxygen, etc would become absolutes for building new languages.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:17:29-05:00
It should be nothing but Kitten Corps everything. Thongs, t-shirts, hats, everything. Use the stickers as pasties for the women, too.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:17:57-05:00
GCoD: Precisely. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" did the same thing with music.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T22:20:43-05:00
GCoD - the stickers could cover them as big as oreos.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:22:16-05:00
We need to recruit someone to do that. Some hottie wearing nothing but a KC thong and two stickers ....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-23T22:22:56-05:00
I think you're both rather missing my point... We're not doing any more than explaining what it is we know in one way or another. In order to quantify something must be quantified first. Seconds exist as a unit of time, but the label and the length is actually irrelevant. It could have been named anything else, and been shorter or longer as long as it remained consistent.
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-23T22:25:02-05:00
GCoD - Wonder what The Creeper will wear under her clothes for her hot date?
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:25:11-05:00
Evan: Agreed. Units of measurement are entirely arbitrary; all that matters is their consistency. Which is why we don't use the cubit any more, because people's forearms are different lengths.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:26:17-05:00
True, that's going to be an observer error anywhere. The second we use is 1/60th of our minute, which is 1/60th of our hour, which is 1/24th of our day as observed from here due to our own orbit and spin.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:27:31-05:00
And even then, it's an average based on the day not being actually 24 hours, which is why we need leap seconds every so often to maintain precision.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:28:12-05:00
So any new games of note on KS? I see the AKO dice is moving along towards 100K nicely ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:29:50-05:00
So I was doing some painting, came upstairs, and am still wearing one latex glove. I feel like a comic book super-villain with this purple hand while typing.

Tahira looks pretty interesting...
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:30:19-05:00
I'm trying very hard *not* to look at any new projects until I have a new job. Part of me was regretting finding this one... until I read about the game. Instant backer. This game is quite simply too much silly fun not to have... and it was affordable for my pauper's budget too, even with shipping to Canada.
Jackson Starky 2015-02-23T22:36:26-05:00
My friends in my tabletop RP gaming groups were... I think "shocked" is an understatement... by how well this project did. And after seeing the videos of the demo games, I think they'll wish they'd backed the project themselves.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:38:48-05:00
There have been some similar discussions over on BGG -- and several very vocal a-holes claiming this was just fluff, there was no game, it was all just social media frenzy. Harumph. One could say the same thing about any new, unreleased game.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:47:17-05:00
The strangest one is some Polish guy uploaded a file there at BGG, with "his" version of the game. Using the released images that Oatmeal first showed, and the rest with his own cruddy artwork. This was even before rules were known, and pre-dates the inclusion of the Nope cards. How this fellow thought his game would be viable is even more relevant than whether the 'real' game is to me.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-23T22:48:15-05:00
This whole campaign has been insanely well-run and has taken kickstarter to a whole new level. They built a community of fans before its release- and that community will only continue to build. Also managed to give back-#rsvpizza. Haters gonna hate.

Hi, back again again. I came on, checked the last 3 hours of stuff, caught up on a few things, now I can pay some attention again. Did you miss the deluge of mattress advertisements while I was gone?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:50:05-05:00
And there is certainly a faction there on BGG who sees this as "just a card game" - and since there aren't dice, minis, zombies, Star Wars, etc. it can't possibly be a real game.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-23T22:56:21-05:00
@Dr.P watch this. He's about the best game theorist I've ever seen, and this gets really indepth about the binding of isaac. He goes through all the allusions and symbolism.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-23T22:56:47-05:00
Oh, that sounds like a dull game. LOL I use the "War Room" app that Steve Jackson Games developed for Ogre as part of their KS; but that also gives you the CRT results, modifiers for terrain, etc.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-23T22:57:06-05:00
Although I figured you'd seen it, just did it to be safe.
It's actually not dull at all, it's design to play like a rogue-like version of Zelda. The items you get are just completely random.... among other things. It can range from incredibly fun to incredibly frustrating.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-23T23:01:02-05:00
Isaac? It also ranges to incredibly disturbing. Usually when you learn about the hidden symbolism in a game it makes more sense and isn't as creepy or weird, but the binding of isaac went above and beyond.

Well, when it comes down to the fundamentals, I think we should just go back to the days before standardized spelling, and just let everyone spell words how they think they sound.

That game is creepy as hell. The game theories just make it even creepier.
RNG?
lol what Isaac? It's not as creepy as it is demented. It has a LOT of biblical references in it too.

@Dr.P watch this. He's about the best game theorist I've ever seen, and this gets really indepth about the binding of isaac. He goes through all the allusions and symbolism.

Goddam!
At the same freaking time!
Oh, that sounds like a dull game. LOL I use the "War Room" app that Steve Jackson Games developed for Ogre as part of their KS; but that also gives you the CRT results, modifiers for terrain, etc.
Although I figured you'd seen it, just did it to be safe.
OMG ZEM THAT's THE VIDEO I LINKED XD
Dice have their place, but certainly a game that relies solely on dice is pretty dull. Might as well play Monopoly then.
It's actually not dull at all, it's design to play like a rogue-like version of Zelda. The items you get are just completely random.... among other things. It can range from incredibly fun to incredibly frustrating.
Isaac? It also ranges to incredibly disturbing. Usually when you learn about the hidden symbolism in a game it makes more sense and isn't as creepy or weird, but the binding of isaac went above and beyond.
