@CB: Unfortunately, if people wanted to not offend anyone, ever, there would be no talking, messaging, or any form of communication anywhere for fear of offending one person out of billions with a small slip.
@Cheetah: I'm also very blunt, and to the point...so I tend to offend lots of people because there is no filter on my brain, and I tend to say what I think, when I think it. And because I don't follow any religions, though MANY people have tried to convert me(and ended up losing a friend in the process), I tend to take a IDGAF(I don't give a...) approach to most religious debates/mentioning.
It would be amazing Creeper. But it will probably only happen when cats everywhere choose to reveal their plan for world domination and the slavery of man-kind to our then new kitty overlords in turn.

Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-16T12:29:44-04:00
You know what's weird? We cat people do realize we're slaves, but dog people don't. They are supposed to be the masters of the kissy-butty mutts, yet they still have much more work to do, walkies and stuff. Our masters are very benevolent on the shitty jobs and don't want us to follow them for hours while they visit every single tree instead of dumping it all out. So, do you want to pee or not? Apparently you don't. You're masochists, doggies. And sadists.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-16T12:48:57-04:00
Hello Warstore!
And yes... I prefer a more independent relationship. I do not need constant attention (or drool) from someone who aims to please. . . . although i really love bulldogs. a big fat ass with an underbite.
Nobody beats my yawning powers. I learned from the best and built up on that. Thanks, Suzie and Mistigris.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T12:54:36-04:00
My doggie doesn't drool, he faints. It looks like a seizure because he falls down and starts making whimpering noises, but the vet says that he's fainting. He has more trouble breathing now than when he was younger. I hope it doesn't get to the point where he's always in respiratory distress because I'm not ready to let him go yet.
My wife picks me up after work so that we don't have to park a car in uptown Charlotte. He likes to come along and ride on my knee.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T13:03:42-04:00
Dammit. I'm stuck at a miserable 15 likes since early last night. I know it isn't the most creative video that has been entered, but I thought it might be worthy of a few more likes than that. I have no idea how to improve my chances with this, I do not have a large social media presence. Any thoughts?
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T13:04:26-04:00
I've owned cats before too. I guess I'm ambi-pet-strous.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T13:06:54-04:00
@PoT, Twitter, Facebook, any social media you can think of. Revruit your friends to post about it too. Walk along Lake Shore Drive wearing a sandwich board and ... (what?!) ... (really?) ... um, never mind that last one.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-16T13:07:32-04:00
@PoT - Just asking people you know to like it. Social media, unfortunately, is the best way to go. :( but if you have a lot of friends, call them up and ask for help! Or post different places online if you're active anywhere else.
You can smell the fumes as I set my shoes on fire. Hunger is my engine.
Al Cox 2015-03-16T13:26:56-04:00
This might be a bit early, but what's the best way to update our shipping info for the game when it's ready?
Thanks,
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T13:27:53-04:00
Thank you all for your support. I am only active on FB, and I don't have a lot of "Friends" there. The friends I do have are mostly not any more social media savvy than I am, unfortunately. I doubt more than a handful have YouTube accounts and they won't be signing up for one.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T13:29:26-04:00
@Al... Shortly before shipping a survey will be emailed to you, confirming things like how many decks you wanted and your shipping address.
Shaun Fergus 2015-03-16T13:38:28-04:00
Morning... you guys haven't passed 80k comments yet... slackers...
You can post your video to facebook! Other than that there is certainly the [guilt your friends and family] option. My presence as far as people that would be interested in EK is limited too. You could make a post on Reddit. That could REALLY pour some fuel on your fire if you can find a local gaming forum. BRB
Maybe we could get them to agree to combine efforts and split rewards. One has a HUGE advantage though....
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T14:04:45-04:00
Yes, yes, and please like my video as well. Because I'm sad. And can't walk. Because my new knee is painful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:05:39-04:00
They'd be a shoe-in if they could just get together. They all have a lot of likes, so maybe people in Vancouver are voting for all three. I'm pretty sure that only one of them will get into the KC though.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:07:10-04:00
New knee huh? That explains why I haven't seen you on Lake Shore Drive then. Maybe they'll let you hang out in front of the McDonald's on Addison and Clark.
@PoT: Fastest solution to your problem, is chop it off, at the knee.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T14:13:07-04:00
@Tsveta... LOL.
@Cheetah Butt....It is a lot better than it was. I'm able to get around on a cane now instead of the damn walker. And for short trips I can even go without the cane. Balance is coming back, strength is improving, but sometimes it gets achy, like now. I'm icing it and hoping it's improving. ::Sigh::
Vote for PoT, he's pathetic, but he's trying.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:14:58-04:00
I am a bit at a loss concerning my list... I understand that the location information (country, state) should be searchable or at least visible, but I have no good idea how to integrate it into the design in an intuitive and aesthetic way. (Also it should be fairly quick to code as well.) Any suggestions?
post the link so I can see what you've got so far.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-16T14:16:12-04:00
Not to mention the EK team is excited about my video, judging by their remarks after I posted it. They did say they'll pick a few that "tickle their fancy," after all. I'm hoping to get enough thumbs that they can feel good about picking the other corps members' videos, though. I think I may have already done that; but I'm still going to try to get as many as I can.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-16T14:18:37-04:00
BTW, for any of you older KC folk with joint aches. I highly recommend the total knee replacement procedure. The first few days were no fun, but due to better living through modern chemistry they weren't nearly as bad as most of the times I've injured my knees. My recovery has been astonishing to me, remarkable daily progress. It is far better than the constant pain I was living with. (Plus they gave me MORE good drugs to bring home)
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:19:33-04:00
LZ, but you may know about webbrowsing... where would you expect/like to see that kind of information on the page?
@PoT: I should get my knees/back/whole body checked...always have an ache or pain somewhere on my body...like my lower back right now. And I'm not even that old(will be 28 later this year), I've just been hard on my body.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:21:07-04:00
@CB, I do have this information as well... it is only a question of how and where to display it in an informative and yet not distracting manner. Grouping/sorting etc. is not an issue, my template engine covers that.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:21:35-04:00
Could you make it so they auto sort via state/province location, maybe have bolded separations like CB, or have a small dropdown box on the [location] title box that has a (sort option)? Alphabetically/reverse alphabetically via country/state(province)/city.
Ah ok, I can try to think of other stuff. I'm great at idea spinning, but I'm certainly not a techie.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-16T14:25:09-04:00
Back from the nail place. I got a sparkly dark brown color for my feet plus got all the hard crap scrapped off my heels. I feel so much better now.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-16T14:25:44-04:00
I could use a stiff drink right about now
The weather is so damn nice, I could go for a Fuzzy Navel and a nice sit in the park.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-16T14:26:20-04:00
@General C,You have the location information organized pretty well already. I would add the city name below the national and State/Provincial flags. That goes from the general to the specific.
Try being double-jointed. And sitting all day. Horror story.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-16T14:27:14-04:00
I'm not sure exactly who Edwin is, or if he's actually officially a member, but he has been active with things on the FB page almost from its beginning, so I assumed he was. Even if he isn't, it's a good video.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-03-16T14:28:06-04:00
That would be a good idea, CB, thanks... will be implementing now, hope to make the next update at half an hour...
@Creeper: We had a rather warm weekend in D.C. It was so nice that I enjoyed my ride back home for the first time in months.
@CB: Unfortunately, if people wanted to not offend anyone, ever, there would be no talking, messaging, or any form of communication anywhere for fear of offending one person out of billions with a small slip.

PoT for Governor: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Juha for Mayor: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Thank you for the hype Dr. P.
@GM, true. I hesitated before even posting. Thanks for understanding.
I'm happy not to use that phrase CB out of respect for you. How about "nailing to the the bed" instead?
@Cheetah: I'm also very blunt, and to the point...so I tend to offend lots of people because there is no filter on my brain, and I tend to say what I think, when I think it. And because I don't follow any religions, though MANY people have tried to convert me(and ended up losing a friend in the process), I tend to take a IDGAF(I don't give a...) approach to most religious debates/mentioning.
... And this guy for City Council! https://www.youtube.com/watch…
I need a party in Charlotte to go to.
Geist you're so kinky.
We could always nail it to the fire log, then we can burn it at the same time too.
I'm OK with that as long as it isn't MY Pebble time. :-)
can I just say that I really really think EK needs to do something at Cat Island in Japan?
@Creeper: They could probably fly people out there too...just sayin.
my friend has offered a one way ticket...but i'm pretty sure he meant it as a threat. :P
It would be amazing Creeper. But it will probably only happen when cats everywhere choose to reveal their plan for world domination and the slavery of man-kind to our then new kitty overlords in turn.
@Idle: Only my hair is kinky.
some of these cats look quite evil.... http://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahjewell/photos-of-a-cat-island-that-will-remind-you-how-to-dream…
Uncle Bruce has a new story time up, btw!!
I would just like to say that I welcome out new kitty overlords.
As do I, CB. They've pretty much already enslaved me as it is.
@Creeper: I don't know if I could live on an island full of kitties. The litter box smell must be awful.
Just don't use me as a scratching post and/or kitty litter.
The world is our litter box! . . . yeah..i need to get up and make some coffee.
I could use a stiff drink right about now. -.-
You guys have been staring at my butt long enough.
What you did there CB, I see it.
You know what's weird? We cat people do realize we're slaves, but dog people don't. They are supposed to be the masters of the kissy-butty mutts, yet they still have much more work to do, walkies and stuff. Our masters are very benevolent on the shitty jobs and don't want us to follow them for hours while they visit every single tree instead of dumping it all out. So, do you want to pee or not? Apparently you don't. You're masochists, doggies. And sadists.
So what are you now, Kittah Head?
Dogs are really smart. They just act stupid to get us to do things for them.
Catz rule dogz drool..... end of story.
Careful Tsveta, he has yawning powers now.....
Hello Warstore!
And yes... I prefer a more independent relationship. I do not need constant attention (or drool) from someone who aims to please. . . . although i really love bulldogs. a big fat ass with an underbite.
No, still CB

He has more trouble breathing now than when he was younger. I hope it doesn't get to the point where he's always in respiratory distress because I'm not ready to let him go yet.
How old is he?
awh, poor doggie. that has to be stressful to see. :(
He's thirteen. You should have seen him in his puppy days. He used to zig-zag around the lawn whenever someone would chase him. He's had a good life.
well, that's good, then. What kind of dog?
Chihuaha. Children still call him a puppy. He likes it best when both of us are around and he's in someone's lap.
A grandpa chi. Nice :)
My wife picks me up after work so that we don't have to park a car in uptown Charlotte. He likes to come along and ride on my knee.

The video is hilarious.
... Recruit
What, do I smell? How come everyone stopped talking?
(sniff, sniff) ... nope.
(sniff, sniff) ... nope.
(sniff, sniff) ... ewww!!! ... BRB ...

I tried to make shameless plugs via social media, well see if they pay off.

Both my knees hurt and my back and all my muscles and I crapped a tendon this morning. If only I had a video right now.
You could use a chair. Sorry about your knee. I hope it's better by the playtest party. You deserve it.
Here are links for all four of the Kitten Corps videos that I'm aware of:

Going by votes Portland, OR and Vancouver, BC are shoo ins one way or another. LZ is placing quite high as well, so he's an EK play tester select.
@PoT: Fastest solution to your problem, is chop it off, at the knee.
@Tsveta... LOL.

Sorry, GC, I don't know enough about coding or web design to be of any help with that question.
Potatten, I agree. His should win simply because of how awesome it is!
@General C, you can use the info in the database. I have Country, State (optional) and City in there now. Here's how I have it sorted for display:

@PoT: I still feel the total knee thing is a bit extreme for the moment.
Dr. P. I could do that, but that would envolve some javascript and I try to avoid that.
http://kittencorps.com/ works for me.
I have to get up and get dressed for work. But I'm just staring at the wall. I'm too tired. Oh lord... I don't not want to go.
Other question. Which of us is Edwin (and/or Lydia)?
