They also sent out a notice 40 minutes ahead of launch to backers of their previous projects. Now THAT's good marketing!

First Dr. Potatten, high master of Reddit, please do one for me too..
Second I agree on idea that they shouldn't give more than 1 per city/state
It would totally raise my chances..
@CB - look at the stages of the stare down on the kitten corps image upload forum. I get this every morning. Orrrr.. I get "nothing in window" ...i get something out of fridge "magically appears at window and scares the crap out of me" ... but lately, kittykitty's been doing a lot of stare down.
Juha-Pekka Ahonen 2015-03-18T16:45:58-04:00
For me it's confusing our little dog will stare if,
1 She wants to go out
2 She wants me to play with her
3 She wants the food I'm eating at moment.
Hard to tell whoch one it is sometimes
I'll have to get some pictures of our cat...he will CONSTANTLY be in the kitchen if anyone so much as walks near it...expecting to be fed...he also "plays dead" for food.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-18T16:51:09-04:00
My dog has four main reasons for staring:
1. "I wanna go outside."
2. "Feed me."
3. "My water dish is empty."
4. "I want you to pick me up."
I ask hem these four questions in turn and when I get to the right one, he's supposed to dance around a little to let me know. Most of the time this works, but sometimes he dances for the wrong thing or he doesn't dance at all.
Oh yeah our little dog also stares if she wants to be lifted up.
Well luckily she knows something when she wants food or water she will claw the bottom of the cup. When she wants to go out ahe claw the door. When she wants to be picked up she will go on two legs and for example lean against the sofa where she wants to be picked up to.
Our cat is also very...vocal...in the morning before anyone has even had a shower about wanting to be fed.

@CB: Is that why you say I remind you of a dog? Although, I do dance around for booze.....
Mike Kabala 2015-03-18T17:01:14-04:00
@Geist, did you get in on the Killer Clowns campaign? That's the best horror deck I own and was my first entry into the genre.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-18T17:03:39-04:00
You only remind me of a dog when you lie in wait for the UPS guy.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-18T17:03:56-04:00
Killer Clowns? I'm gonna check them out now. (My bank account hates you btw)

I just send my Application to KittenCorps :D Lydia would like to join as well but she does not have an account for Kickstarter, we backed together trough my account. We're both working on our minions ect. I know she won't be able to reach here but can she still join and get her minion on the page?
In the mean time please Like and Share our Video, on our way to #3 in the #KittenConsul Charts https://www.youtube.com/watch…

One of the other people in Payroll brought Samosas in. So much delicious spiciness.

@Juha.. I know, but it's matter of time before I'm overtaken by others. Of this I am certain. I need to continue to add to my ranking just to stay in one place.
Let's exchange some Votes here, let's just post our Links (I just did somewhere down there) and Vote on each other. I voted for a few already so I can promise anything.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T18:01:07-04:00
Good afternoon All. Well. Illuminati the Board Game did not meet funding ... it had dropped to $1 -- and ended at $3. The creator never replied to my direct mail, nor my comments ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T18:02:19-04:00
And my neighbor to the east, I found his cat dead in the yard of the neighbor to the west ... looks like it had been gashed by something ... he's upset, but he let it run around the neighborhood ...
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-18T18:03:52-04:00
Poor kitty. :(
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T18:58:34-04:00
Hmmm, not sure if KS died again, or if I'm just alone ....
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T19:10:05-04:00
There's a rather interesting discussion going on over on BGG about whether KS is good or bad for board games in general, and wargames in specific. Apparently there have been some major screw-ups in the wargame field on KS -- but I haven't followed them.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-18T19:20:34-04:00
I'd say definitely good for board games. It gets them in front of more people, and exposes many smaller/indie publishers to people that otherwise wouldn't be seen
I'm not really that big into wargames. KS is good for everyone as long as it's done right. It is really on the heads of project creators. That might sound a little harsh but it's true. Look at EK. We had a wonderful campaign, but a lot of beggars and whiners pleading for extras. They do that because they have learned to expect that. Not every campaign should even consider some of the stuff others do, but they do it any way and get themselves buried. Everyone wants to make it, but no one wants to do the research.
End of rant for now, don't feel like treading into Mars territory right now.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T19:23:13-04:00
It would seem that the projects with the largest problems, already had the problems before they came to KS -- licensing rights, shady copyright agreements, etc.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-03-18T19:24:49-04:00
Again, that is another problem with people not doing the research and locking things down! Creators need to stop and think before rushing to KS! Also multiple people CAN possess the right to the same copyright, that is possible. It's fairly likely in the gaming industry, but that doesn't mean people want to share a similar product either.... that is another very broad area of discussion. ..
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-18T19:25:58-04:00
Why does the 2-reagent dipstick have the same insert as the 10-reagent dipstick?!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-18T19:29:31-04:00
I spent 30 minutes hunting down a package insert for urine dipsticks. When I finally got it, I discovered it's exactly the same as the one I already had three copies of
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-18T19:33:03-04:00
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-18T19:35:45-04:00
They are slightly different. The two reagents from the 2 strip are included in the 10 strip, though. So, not entirely different. The insert for the 2 reagent strips just has a lot of irrelevant information, which makes the relevant information more difficult to find
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-18T19:44:51-04:00
They're all for testing urine chemistry. The 2 reagent strips just lookvat glucose and total protein. The 10 reagent strips look at those, plus white blood cells, red blood cells, pH, specific gravity, bilirubin, ketones, urobilinogen, and nitrites

No, Doc. I work in a medical lab, and I'm working on putting together a system to monitor the point of care testing done at the clinic
They've been over there, took you long enough to find them Derp :P. What's new with you Doc?
@LZ: Oh ok, that's kind of what I figured given what I understood about what it is you do from before (the crystals thing from earlier). But I didn't want to assume anything.
Well.... this time the dice are actually plasuible AND functional. Both traits that were completely absent from his last campaign. He should post a video of him playing with a prototype (though it's not exactly rocket science to make wooden dice it's not really against KS rules...... no points for originality though.) I also don't see his non-sense 3,000 year old recipe non sense....
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-18T20:28:58-04:00
@GCoD,
Oh jeez.
"Valuable breeds of wood". Like Oak?
And this doesn't even translate "3) Goltovka"
I'm not actually sure about if she can or not, that's more on KS's end, and I've never tried. We certainly welcome her here if she can though! Like the guardian of rabbit-cat thing by the way !
Edwin "Guardian of Usagineko" Wiersma 2015-03-18T20:29:44-04:00

@Edwin, look at the Billet Dice here on KS ... they need a boost.
Well if you were expecting greatness C. Prime, that was NOT the place to look for it.

Your lady friend can only comment on a kickstarter campaign that she has backed, unfortunately. Those are the kickstarter rules. Once funding is complete no new kickstarters my join the comment thread of that project. The comments then become a channel for backers to share info and for creators to send and receive feedback. Outsiders can read and follow but not interrupt. We do have a kitten corps forum set up and she is welcome to initiate conversations there as are you.
If you want we can put you on the Kitten Corps map as well. Just send the following to theexpresident@kittencorps.com :

@GCoD I really like that concept but I'ts not really what I need. @BruceP Yea something like that, mixed together with the Billet Dice would be something nice. I don't like the wood dice either...
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-18T20:39:48-04:00
@Edwin,
I think the precious stone dice people are going to do another Kickstarter soon-ish. Not sure when, though. But they fulfilled their last project quickly and on time. I was impressed.
@Geist, +1.
Also, it's All ORIGINAL ARTWORK!
They also sent out a notice 40 minutes ahead of launch to backers of their previous projects. Now THAT's good marketing!
First Dr. Potatten, high master of Reddit, please do one for me too..
Second I agree on idea that they shouldn't give more than 1 per city/state
It would totally raise my chances..
well, this is fantastic. The gas is turned off in my apartment until Friday. Super awesome. yay.
@Creeper
No need for gas here, it's in the 70's and sunny all week.
I had beans for lunch Creeper! How much gas do you need?
@CB: That is one well run campaign. I'm seriously thinking of getting that deck since I'm a horror fan.
i have a gas stove and oven, y'all....
and cakes that need baking and KITTYKITTY I ALREADY FED YOU STOP STARING!
Wow, cats do that too? I thought it was just my dog.
@Creeper: Did the evil landlord not pay his bills on time?
Tell Kittykitty that if he wants more food, he has to come inside.
@CB - look at the stages of the stare down on the kitten corps image upload forum. I get this every morning. Orrrr.. I get "nothing in window" ...i get something out of fridge "magically appears at window and scares the crap out of me" ... but lately, kittykitty's been doing a lot of stare down.

plays dead for food? that's adorable. I just took a little video of his stare down. pretty entertaining.
That's really cute, CB!
Oh yeah our little dog also stares if she wants to be lifted up.
Well luckily she knows something when she wants food or water she will claw the bottom of the cup. When she wants to go out ahe claw the door. When she wants to be picked up she will go on two legs and for example lean against the sofa where she wants to be picked up to.
So no dancing just clawing
Our cat is also very...vocal...in the morning before anyone has even had a shower about wanting to be fed.

Why does the 2-reagent dipstick have the same insert as the 10-reagent dipstick?!
KS also needs to get it's damn act together... [pebble, lix, EP]
Say what LZ? You lost me....
I spent 30 minutes hunting down a package insert for urine dipsticks. When I finally got it, I discovered it's exactly the same as the one I already had three copies of
I have no comeback for that. None at all.
Oh om that makes sense then.... but also doesn't make sense if their supposedly different somehow. If you discover how, let me know....
Oh ok*
They are slightly different. The two reagents from the 2 strip are included in the 10 strip, though. So, not entirely different. The insert for the 2 reagent strips just has a lot of irrelevant information, which makes the relevant information more difficult to find

Doc should know if one would be prego right?
Could I start using my Kitten Corps name here from the application I did earlier today?
You could have put it in your name as soon as you said "I want to be in kitten corps." man! The same goes for your wife as well.

Hey, our good friend from Lix dice is back and has created a new set of dice here ...

I'm not sure, but the plain wood dice he is showing off sure looks like pine to me ... simple hardware store pine planks ...
@GCoD,
Yeah, the ones he has pictures of are pretty crappy. And big.
Whoa, and he wants $25 for 2 crappy dice, or $33 for 1 "nice" one?! That's insane
What is it with dice though? I have way more than I will ever use ...
Well if you were expecting greatness C. Prime, that was NOT the place to look for it.

I like those. But I just don't need more 6-sided dice. :( Those are so pretty, though...

I really like the FF6 dice too, but they are just too pricey.
I still need to do the CAD file so I can laser etch some custom dice for Ogre for the CRT table ...
