I would hope by act of miraculous shipping, EK was received a few days early by everyone at the exact same time as to avoid a barrage of "where is mine?!?!?"
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-19T12:50:33-04:00
Ordered my Kitten Corps t-shirt yesterday. If I get to host the Beta test party I will wear it with pride.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-19T12:51:48-04:00
@PoT: For a scammer? Sure. I'd rather do that then have someone lose out on their hard earned cash.
Free Drinks! (Ships no where; offer eligible in Philadelphia, PA only; Offer for limited amount of beverage per member; offer available for a limited time)
I thought you ordered a KC for the unboxing ceremony LZ?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T12:56:35-04:00
Are they expensive breeds of drinks? Will they be tumble polished?
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-19T12:56:51-04:00
@Creeper,
Micah/Zem finally answered the trivia question on my video. :)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T12:57:01-04:00
I hadn't ordered it yet
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T12:58:02-04:00
What fresh Hell is this? Littler LZ is playing with Mrs LZ's Kindle Fire, and he stumbled upon a Jason Mraz song!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T12:58:22-04:00
My goodness! I had to scroll f - o - r - e - v - e - r before I found out what you people have been talking about for the last 2 hours while I've been slaving over new member applications! I'm going to have to check it out now.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T12:59:35-04:00
I thought someone was going to wear a KC thong for unboxing.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:00:06-04:00
@Usagineko, please call me "Cheetah Butt." You're in the Corps now.
@Cheetah: You're not the only one. I'm going over termination paperwork, and trying to decipher how they were even initially set up in the in house software, with codes that don't exist...or link to a proper profile that exists. Good thing I'm going out for lunch with my friend in a little.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T13:02:00-04:00
Although, probably shouldn't wear just the thong for the preview party.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T13:02:57-04:00
No offense LZ. I'm sure you'd look great and all, but...
Also, welcome to all the fresh recruits. The Evil University is over to the East, and the Hero University is situated slightly West of the Mountain Fortress(also known as my base of operations, patrolled by my minions - above and below ground) which is under the Rocky Mountains. Feel free to check them out, just don't touch the big red gems.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:04:27-04:00
I don't think I'd be able to do the thong. I don't like wedgies
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:14:45-04:00
Hi creeper!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:15:15-04:00
Lix guy thinks he has a friend
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-19T13:17:52-04:00
I like how the Corps are the only people commenting on the Elite Dice. lol
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-19T13:18:30-04:00
@Dr.P. No they haven't indicated how many parties they are looking to provide decks for, nor have they said exactly how many decks anyone will get. They simply said a "few" decks would be provided, so I presume a minimum of three decks per party. I have no idea what their criteria are other than YT "Likes" and I'm hoping it will be at least the top ten videos (from unique locations). Whatever happens it's going to be a blast for whoever gets to do the parties. I may have made a mistake in telling the Gaming Goat not to make a fuss about the party until I know we have it. I'm sure I could get a ton of likes if the guys who fequent that store knew it was a possibility.
@Creeper: We've been over this stuff before...so we are just revisiting the old levels of weird.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:21:01-04:00
Seriously, I could offer better wooden dice in exotic woods WITH a decent finish applied for what he's charging. Plum is nothing but a domestic fruitwood, This guy definitely doesn't know what he's doing!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:23:54-04:00
CB, he'll consider your offer. What offer? I don't know
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-19T13:24:20-04:00
@CB,
Yeah, he has no concept of what expensive woods really. Oak? Give me a break. And he's trying to charge WAY to much.
BruceP - Chameleon Prime 2015-03-19T13:24:47-04:00
*woods really are
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-19T13:25:02-04:00
@CB
OMG, totally go make a KS for that. We'll all chip in a few hundred, get you over $1K in 10 minutes, and then post a link on his about how much better this other campaign is.
Jim Stevens 2015-03-19T13:25:31-04:00
I've been watching this unfold for the last couple hours and trying to stifle laughter so hard my coworkers think I'm having a seizure. Dice guy seriously just said his cherry wood was more expensive because he got it from a smaller tree? This is classic. You all have made my day.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T13:29:20-04:00
I mean...if you love dice and wood and want to make these things anyway...why not just make some and sell them online. Kickstarter for that?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:29:26-04:00
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:33:22-04:00
Thank you!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:33:47-04:00
Yeah, the hard part is precisely positioning the pips, but once I have a jig made, that wouldn't be so hard. I could use the same jig for all six faces simply by superimposing a 1 and a 6. It would take me about a week, including finish to come up with a prototype that would blow his out of the water!
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:34:50-04:00
I really shouldn't be talking about this. Makes me want to do it now!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:35:37-04:00
I didn't know my narrow-trunk black cherries were so valuable! And there I was, using it to smoke meat
Jim Stevens 2015-03-19T13:36:06-04:00
But Mike, would it take 5 years for us to get the sincere gratitude? Or can you beat that deal too. The gauntlet has been thrown.
Yeah, Jim has a point. I'm not hearing anything about gratitude CB. Or any indication that guarantee its sincerity...
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:40:05-04:00
... It has indeed. This would be a perfect project for my precision hobby saw and I have over a month to do the prototype since he chose such a ridiculously long funding period. I could scoop in, choose a 14 day funding period and have a successful project before his project even ends!
Or was it just not at all funny. *sigh* *rolls back under the covers*
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:42:47-04:00
This is business, man. If you want gratitude, go see a fake Russian priest!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:44:06-04:00
Creeper, I hadn't seen it. That was good
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T13:45:37-04:00
Which leads me to my next KS campaign: GRATITUDE!
A cutting edge appreciation system developed for the fast paced digital age.
How it works is, you give me money, and you receive my gratitude. The higher the backing tier the more sincere it will be.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:47:32-04:00
@DDD, you should create that project just to see if it could get past the KS "approval" process! LOL
Jim Stevens 2015-03-19T13:47:35-04:00
I propose a KS campaign for this to become a thing... a group of hacker detectives outing and baiting scammers. KickStoppers? Someone get Jerry Bruckheimer on the phone.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:48:14-04:00
Let me in on the action, DDD, and I will hand deliver the gratitude for the highest backer tier. Mid level will get signed gratitude from both of us
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T13:48:30-04:00
... I do have some exotic pen blanks in storage. I should go out there this weekend and get them.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:50:34-04:00
Baaahahahaha... I would love to back the gratitude campaign!! How much for a 5 second video of you saying thank you with my name?!?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T13:55:31-04:00
I don't know what DDD thinks about that, but I'm thinking $15-20 or so
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T13:59:04-04:00
Yeah, maybe $15-20. Haven't worked out the logistics. I mean, I would like to leave enough lower level tiers for backers who would like some gratitude, but aren't necessarily wanting to commit to it needing to be sincere.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T14:00:35-04:00
So maybe lower levels receive a thank you video, but it really looks like we're just kinda phoning it in, you know? Like the thank you cards your mom MADE you write when you were little.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-19T14:01:55-04:00
Dear so and so, thank you so much for your generous pledge of insert dollar amount. We want you to know that it is *yawn* greatly appreciated.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T14:03:18-04:00
You could offer a tier where someone with a cell phone would hold it up in Times Square for 5 seconds saying thank you with the backer's name.
Sorry Potatten. It looked interesting but not something I would play.
I hope they try again. So many folks seem to want the game.
Bummer
Well here's another one that might be good.... and has more hope....
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/696564/unraveled-a-nostalgic-80s-adventure-rpg-and-platfo
I got the last early bird!
My book arrived!
Which book is it LZ?
...Anyone read the highest tier for Elite Dice? "Pre-order for $199 + free shipping", that's on a $120 tier....
The Unraveled project got Green Lit too! I'm all a twitter and far less worried now.
He did another discount apparently :P
It's called Point of Care Testing for Policy Makers and Managers
Yawn?

Yeah, but I need it
I already explained everything. No argument? Goodbye. Point))))))))))))
Haaahahah :)
No worries CB! We knew you were busy! (Just fyi Derp sent a request for email creation, and I said I would remind you)
So LZ, what is your next step in being the only gullible no-comment-reading moron?
@DrP, I took care of derp too. He should have received his info via email.
It's one-way, right? :P
Okay! I was just obligated to say something, he has really been looking forward to it.
I don't know what the next step is...
The next step is world domination!
I mean, I could up the pledge, but I already said I can't afford more
Oh, in that case world domination is much too large a step. Have you tried the tell all your friends angle?
I haven't
@LZ: Getting his hopes up like that is just mean
I just looked at the dice comments. Wow. You people can be attack dogs can't you?
@LZ You can really shine a man on. Well done bro.
@Mike Thank you Sir, I shall proudly wear the uniform. A hearty welcome to all other new recruits as well.
I would hope by act of miraculous shipping, EK was received a few days early by everyone at the exact same time as to avoid a barrage of "where is mine?!?!?"
Ordered my Kitten Corps t-shirt yesterday. If I get to host the Beta test party I will wear it with pride.
@PoT: For a scammer? Sure. I'd rather do that then have someone lose out on their hard earned cash.
Did they ever say how many people would be eligible for the beta test selection?
I have no patience for impatient people.
GM, I know, but I figure scammers deserve to have the wool pulled over their eyes from time to time
Welcome all new KC members! Free drinks on Potatten!
Oh yeah! I should get a KC shirt so I can wear it to the preview party if I'm chosen
Free Drinks! (Ships no where; offer eligible in Philadelphia, PA only; Offer for limited amount of beverage per member; offer available for a limited time)

I don't think I'd be able to do the thong. I don't like wedgies
@LZ: Could always wear it as a mask?
No, the the logo would be upside down
Have the hip straps over your ears, then the logo wouldn't be upside down.
Okay...it's a really boring day at work apparently since I'm suggesting wearing a thong as a mask.
What, you want me to offer a thong mask with an upside-down logo?
No, I need to keep some dignity
This all just got to a new level of weird
Hi creeper!

Jim, have you liked my video? Lord Zombitten for #KittenConsul: https://youtu.be/Du7rRE0aUKk
Video has now been liked. Thanks for the link.
Thank you!

Hello LZ- or should I say... "Lix liker"!!! Hehehe
Too bad all of my exotic stock is only 1/8 inch thick.
Awh, a sincere gratitude in 2020. I can see it so clearly.
It sounds so dirty when you put it like that!
Cb- That's what she said.
Yeah, Jim has a point. I'm not hearing anything about gratitude CB. Or any indication that guarantee its sincerity...
... It has indeed. This would be a perfect project for my precision hobby saw and I have over a month to do the prototype since he chose such a ridiculously long funding period. I could scoop in, choose a 14 day funding period and have a successful project before his project even ends!
Oh good- stipulations got funded! They seemed like a nice creator.
Yes! Do it!
Really... Did anyone get my 2020 joke?
Or was it just not at all funny. *sigh* *rolls back under the covers*
This is business, man. If you want gratitude, go see a fake Russian priest!
