Over the weekend, I worked on my puzzle box design and successfully added a secret "spy" compartment to some of the boxes. It's too small for an SD card, but a microSD fits with room to spare.
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T17:40:50-04:00
@PoT, I tried contacting them when the contest was still going on, but I couldn't find any contact info. Did you find an email or phone number I can use?
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-07T17:44:02-04:00
All I have is in the link I sent you/ Are you Charlotte local? Can you call the place where it's supposed to be happening?
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T17:45:08-04:00
Yeah, I live in Charlotte. I can try to get around to contacting the venue, but I'll have to look it up because I've never been there.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-07T17:47:26-04:00
At least it isn't too far away to roll past on the day in question, just to see if it's going on.
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T17:54:53-04:00
Yeah.
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T17:56:25-04:00
I guess nobody's into secret puzzle box compartments. :-(
I think it's really cool though. Definitely not something you'd find unless you were looking for it.
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T17:57:52-04:00
Did anyone else get an email from some reporter in Toronto wanting to do a story on the Kitten Corps? He said the deadline is today, but he hasn't responded to my reply to his email.
WhoDatMoney 2015-04-07T18:05:39-04:00
In hindsight I should have submitted to be a KittenConsul, I passed it over thinking "I know I'm getting the game I don't really need to playtest it", but now I'm like "Damnit I could have gotten the game earlier and play with friends!" Lol le sigh
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T18:05:48-04:00
Wow, if @Creeper isn't on, nobody is here any more! I never know when to post to get any response. I miss everyone!
@Cheetah: If I wasn't wanting to bash my own brains out right now, I would probably be in here more...and I would be able to go home in the next 30min...looks like a late night again.
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T18:11:32-04:00
Sorry to hear that @GM. Sounds like "The Man" has your number.

Midnight all.
Ignore the caption on this one.
http://9gag.com/gag/am063Qj It looks like Exploding Kittens - the early years.
@Cheetah: No, people who half assed train you, or don't explain things in a clear way, have my number. I've had a headache that's exponentially gotten worse since 10am today.
My manager and I are both learning the US side of things. The person preceding us is technically still with the company, but getting info from her is like pulling teeth, with only your fingers, by going through the bottom of someone's foot.
i'm here i'm here!! I'm busy getting ready for tomorrow! Just made my iron on Cupkitten icon to add to teh back of my kitten corps shirt.
CB- I VERY much enjoy secret compartments. This sounds awesome. I did not receive any email about a story on the Kitten Corps... interesting....
And if WhoDat is still around- I know what you mean! That's why i submitted at the last minute. I had that feeling of, "I don't wanna be left out! i want to get the game early!" I gotta say-the cards are highly entertaning!!!
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T18:51:36-04:00
I finally got an email reply from that reporter. Apparently, the story is already "Live."
I just did a quick read of the article. The facts appear to be correct. Kitten Corps is not mentioned. It hints at a possible TV show. Can anyone confirm that rumor?
@Melissa I'm here! Lol Just keep flip flopping between comments from this KS and comments from the "A Chaotic Life!" KS that I'm also backing, I just need to convince them to do what Exploding Kittens did and send me a promo pack to indulge in lol

@WhoDatMoney- I have faith in you. STARE THEM DOWN! They'll crumble!!!
@CB - LOL....i'm sure we could. I would like Christina Hendricks to play me.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-07T19:12:44-04:00
I want to play myself!
Mike Kabala 2015-04-07T19:12:48-04:00
LOL, Good choice, @Creeper.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-07T19:14:59-04:00
I have decided to just show up at a random "game night" at a local bar with a deck of exploding kittens and see what the reaction is/ I'll report later tonight or, more likely, tomorrow morning.
If that doesn't work, change all letters to lowercase and try again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-07T20:07:38-04:00
I call Christopher Walken or Sean Connery. Neither are anything like me, but it'd be awesome all the same. Or maybe Gilbert Gottfried. No! Bryan Cranston!
I set my alarm for my nap to 5:00, but I just fell asleep until just past when the dining hall is open. Guess I could go to another open one, but I'm too lazy.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-07T20:11:16-04:00
Ok, it's down to Sean Connery, Liam Neeson, or Rowan Atkinson. I'm good with any, but maybe Mr. Bean should be saved for Derp.
I'm more of a Blackadder fan myself, but I still like the casting.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-07T20:26:21-04:00
I'm a rowan atkinson fan. Have you seen his live thing? Look up rowan atkinson live and prepare to be amazed. The last sketch is the best, but almost all of them are amazing.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-07T20:26:48-04:00
By that, I mean just a fan of rowan atkinson in general, not just for bean or blackadder.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-07T20:27:43-04:00
You know, my stomach is overriding laziness. I'm going to go eat in the other dining hall that's still open. Why does mine close so early?
Hey have we ever gotten around to compiling a list of kitten corps emails for our contact page? I remember suggesting/emailing about it but did we ever decide for it or against it?
I just say that because there has been a number of people asking for emails lately, we could just post them all in an easy to find spot for our members.
Anyone heard from LZ today?
Any word on that Charlotte party CB?

Training? You don't need no steenkin' training!
I'm learning everything, for payroll, through trial and error. Emphasis on the error.
Sounds like the person who preceded you left suddenly. I wonder if anyone knows how to do the payroll.
My manager and I are both learning the US side of things. The person preceding us is technically still with the company, but getting info from her is like pulling teeth, with only your fingers, by going through the bottom of someone's foot.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Keep calm and carry on.

Have not heard from LZ - I hope he's doing ok. Was his party today as well? Must be hard to plan that and deal with a sudden loss in your family. :(
And if WhoDat is still around- I know what you mean! That's why i submitted at the last minute. I had that feeling of, "I don't wanna be left out! i want to get the game early!" I gotta say-the cards are highly entertaning!!!

*raises eyebrow*.....can we see this story??
I found the link. I'm off to read the article.
http://metronews.ca/news/toronto/1333554/kickstarters-highest-grossing-game-lands-in-toronto-for-testing/
Man, i wish i was more organized! The other NYC party had a great idea and got some sponsors to donate items for a raffle! Good on them!
welp, that was quick.
I just did a quick read of the article. The facts appear to be correct. Kitten Corps is not mentioned. It hints at a possible TV show. Can anyone confirm that rumor?

I want to be played by Jeff Goldblum.
@WhoDatMoney- I have faith in you. STARE THEM DOWN! They'll crumble!!!
@CB - LOL....i'm sure we could. I would like Christina Hendricks to play me.
I want to play myself!
LOL, Good choice, @Creeper.

good idea PoT!
Thank you Creeper. Wish me luck. I'm out.
lol, I think if I had the ability to choose I want Johnny Deep to play me!
Depp!
I'm sure they'll love it PoT! Good luck!
I just had this thought of PoT at a bar, saying "Hey....hey... wanna play exploding kittens?" "That's not released until July! Stranger danger!!"
Does Geist have an email that we know of?
Geist@Kittencorps.com
thanks! wasn't sure if it was set up or not.

OMG Mr. Bean would totally have to be Derp!

Hey have we ever gotten around to compiling a list of kitten corps emails for our contact page? I remember suggesting/emailing about it but did we ever decide for it or against it?
Did someone say Derp?
Hey, it's Mr Bean himself!
I just say that because there has been a number of people asking for emails lately, we could just post them all in an easy to find spot for our members.
Good even Derp!
oh yes-we just got busy with all the kittencorps insanity.. but i do think a page with all the emails would be a good thing, if CB deems it so.
Preview/playtest party underway. Blackhawk is here
I'll get to work on it.
HURRAY! Have a great party man, certainly enjoy the evening LZ!
I know Creeper :) and I'm certainly not trying to create more work for you to do CB, I just genuinely think it's a good idea.
Take pictures ... and videos!
Have fun LZ! Give our love to Blackhawk!
Here GIMMIE a sec I'll be back soon.
See? I'm back! And as Zem-2!
Hiya Zem the Derp.
I wonder if we got anyone with this. Probably not. None. But it was fun to imagine.
Oh. Oh God, derp. Please no! ;)
I should just stay out of this one.
... or is it Derp the Mattress?
... Epiczemguy?
Huh? What's happening here?
... Zem the Epic Derp Mattress Guy???
... How about Zerp? It's nice and short.
DerpZeMattress.
Wait, is Derp confused?! Let's just sit back and enjoy the irony!
Dem the Zerp!
:-)
Who's confused?
lol CB, I've just taken to calling them Zem-1, Zem-d, and Zem-s
Zem-1 is not however Zem-d as he claims.
I think I'm here so then who's zem-D? I could become him tho.
Tadaa! Zem-D ftw.
Well looks like Zems gone. Time to fine a replacement. Hello goodwill...
Maybe if I throw comments in fast enough nobody will notice derp's profile didn't change!
The person pretending to be you Zem-d is Zem-1 himself.
See? Nobody's noticing! Muhuahaha, derp!
Gosh dang it. It's back
Sabotaging this guy derp who sounds awesome by spammming just like him! Perfect plan!
Nope, already called you out man... like three times now.
Oh wait, he doesn't spam. Crap. Oh well, it will still work!
This really shouldn't be very confusing considering I'm the real zem. I've just learned to talk like the Derp.
WHy didn't we do that for april fools, derp?!?!?!?!
We so should have switched profiles and nobody would have known!!!!!
Dang that would of been a great joke. Except it would have never ended muhahahahaha!
But what if we did switch and never told them.
