@GM, I just got rid of all my camping gear (well most of it anyways), had a sweet Coleman 12 person (read as two person) was 6' 10 at the peak so you could stand up in it! I'm too damn old for crawling! I had a queen size bed in a bag in there and lots of room for all the coolers, games, etc. It even had a little flap to use as a dog door! I haven't been camping in 4 years, and doubt that I'll ever go again. My wife wouldn't even consider camping if its not in a K.O.A. type scenario, and to me, that isn't camping.
@BaKhan: I haven't been camping in years either. But most of the people I know go camping using huge luxury trailers...and that isn't camping. Camping is supposed to be cutting yourself off from all these electronics for a few days, and just enjoying nature. Sure, an old trailer camper, where you just have beds and a table, are the limit to what I will consider camping. Just so that if it is raining out, you have somewhere dry to spend the day(or make tarp city like we did once, 5 trailers as mentioned before connected with tarps because it was raining that much).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T18:07:41-04:00
my favorite way of camping is hiking out about 5-10 miles on a trail and setting up tents in the only open place near a lake or canyon or something and spending half a week in the mountains or desert or something. My family does it about once a year if we can. My favorite place ever was Mee Canyon. Look it up; it's amazing. And Mee Alcove in it. On google images some people took a narrower path we didn't, but our path down wasn't exactly a 2-lane highway either.
So are all the KC members getting decks? That's awesome!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T18:31:44-04:00
THE coral reef? Wow, must've been amazing. I always thought there were a lot more than just one though.
@potatten I'm one of those people who, unless I'm with a big group like a ton of friends or my old scout troop, even the leaky kitchen faucet is too much. I like just carrying clothes, food, tools, and other maybe not necessities but very handy things. I really don't understand how campers, campgrounds, or even 5-star hotels are camping.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T18:32:42-04:00
wait, LZ, getting them early like I've heard people saying? I wish. Can someone put in a good word for me?
Lord Zombitten 2015-04-13T18:35:36-04:00
Well, I don't know, Zem. I don't know if the couple that I've seen are actually getting their stuff early, or if they're getting the same decks the Kitten Consuls got.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T18:36:50-04:00
I thought it was extra consul decks or something, which is even better to me because I still get the finished decks this summer as well. Even one good word? Please?
I wonder how they're deciding who gets one. Did they send you an email asking for your address?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T18:54:07-04:00
Well it happened again. Supposed to write a first draft of an essay for class but had no time to work on something so in-depth this entire last week or weekend so I have nothing to bring. Do you think I could write 5 or so pages in about 20 minutes before I have to go? ;)
Well, only a few people had all 5 pages last time, so I think I could do 3 if I really try.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:03:54-04:00
I would love a good word as well because I'm going on a trip next week and I would love one for the trip.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:04:51-04:00
Heck I would pay a full 10 sea dollars for just shipping.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T19:08:31-04:00
Perfect, GM! Send that on to the EK team so's I can git me one o' them there decks.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:09:32-04:00
I would do almost anything for a deck. Almost anything.... Almost...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T19:18:05-04:00
...Anything...
Yup, bye for a few hours guys. Time to go hide the fact that for the second time I have no draft for peer-reviewing again. Not that it's important or worth maybe more than 5 points if I'm unlucky. Heck, last time I got almost 90% with everything that went wrong compared to most people I talked to having an average of maybe 80-85%.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:25:54-04:00

Is there a login to the email. I know there could be but is it set up?
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:44:21-04:00
Meh actually I don't really care. I most likely didn't get an emil for an early bird account.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T19:44:31-04:00
I mean cards not account
Lord Zombitten 2015-04-13T19:57:56-04:00
Outlook is an email client. It doesn't have any email capabilities by itself; you have to give it the information for where it needs to pull the emails from.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T20:07:09-04:00
Is there any quicker way to just see what email are in my account. I don't care about responding to them.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-13T20:07:50-04:00
The link is to a 5 minute video of game play from my Beta test party. Let me know what you think.
Nope. You either have to set it up through another email like Gmail, or set it up through a client like outlook or Windows Mail (which didn't work for me). I don't remember how to do those, though. I had someone walk me through the process.

Derp, from what I understand, Cheetah Butt and Dr Potatten have already received decks.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T20:43:44-04:00
As gifts. Right?
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T20:45:41-04:00
From other people not the creators
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T20:51:34-04:00
I know it sounds like I'm being pushy. I'm just curious since @zem mentioned it.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-13T20:53:23-04:00
Yes Derp, as gifts for past efforts. Creating and running a website for CB, Creating the Kitten Corps for Potatten.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-13T20:54:24-04:00
We do not know if the gifts were made at the behest of the creative team or if Bella was acting on her own.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T20:54:35-04:00
Oh so it's not a Normal thing that kittencorp members get a deck early
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-13T21:04:51-04:00
Yeah... Not so much. Sorry Derp.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T21:09:33-04:00
Dang. I'm going on a trip with done friends next week and I wanted to bring a fun family friendly game along.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T21:10:22-04:00
Oh well not much I can do about that. So what's new around here?
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-13T21:22:25-04:00
Take a look at the video link I posted. Tell me what you think.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T22:35:12-04:00
Sorry, just got back from class, found out the review drafts are due next week (hell yea!), get a coffee (hells to the yea), and find out GTA V on steam is now released (HEILS TO THE F****** YES, B******-ish. maybe not that amazing, but I have to get on to find out)
Thus, goodbye for tonight.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-13T22:59:05-04:00
Why, Steam, why?!?! Why can't you just load the game? Why do you have to have problems connecting, loading, and bringing up the game? I just want to play!
Epicderpguy 2015-04-13T23:43:27-04:00
Sound like you need help. And I can't do that for you
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-14T00:01:33-04:00
I've even tried disabling several programs like antivirus and firewall and reprogramming parts of my computer, but I can't even run a new program in cmd.exe . I tried editing my permissions for my admin user but it wouldn't even let me do that. I couldn't figure out how to disable nvidia graphics which apparently worked if you restarted it as soon as the game launched. Rockstar had better fix this before I get a chance to try again. Tonight I'm giving up on it. My roommate is playing though. But thankfully hundreds if not thousands of other people have had this problem and had advice. Unfortunately none of it worked. Not even creating a new admin using only certain characters for the name, running the program as it, changing the permissions still didn't work as the new guy, just the same problem over and over. Why?!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-14T00:11:19-04:00

That's why he used that psychic stare when he came on. I, on the other hand, am signing off. Rockstar gaming better get their stuff together because thousands of people are pissed about some glitch while loading GTA V. Oh well, see you all later.
I really like it so far PoT, haven't gotten much of a chance to play with it just yet though.
I'm doing well Derp. Thank you for asking.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-14T09:47:57-04:00
Sarcasm alert. For those who ran the playtests, what condition are the decks in AFTER the event? Are they all destroyed from the grubby hands of players, or do you wish they were sleeve friendly?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-14T09:51:48-04:00
Also, for those who haven't been watching, the Billet Dice guy says he will likely have shipped all his orders within a month of campaign ending, so he has launched his next campaign, the "Billet Spin" top ... I'm looking at you, Cheetah Butt.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-14T09:52:45-04:00
They are standard playing card size, you could put them in sleeves if you want without a problem much like MtG or anything else. That would do damage in and of itself in the long run though.
Cane- after a night of beer, German food, fries, cupcakes- the decks are still in great condition! Maybe one corner of a card has a faint crease in it. But much better than expected.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-14T10:19:06-04:00
@GCoD. Excellent question about the decks, I hadn't thought to look until you asked. I just checked my three remaining decks and after dozens of rounds of play, by people who had been eating greasy pizza. I'd have to say all three deck are in good shape. They haven't lost their finish, some have been worn slightly on edges or corners from tapping on the tables, but none appear to be bent. Overall I'm impressed, I would accept cards of this quality as finished items released to the backers.
@Creeper: Mine got finished last week sometime...still waiting for my refund.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-14T11:01:03-04:00
Yes, woke up last night thinking -- hmmm, multiple playtests where messy food was present -- I wonder how the cards actually fared in the long term. So quality is good, and no worries there -- those as noted one could sleeve if they were sufficiently retentive. I'd guess most playtesters weren't the most forgiving of how they treated the cards, either.
Cane- I kept mentioning that one deck would be raffled off, so that helped them keep it nice. Also- people seemed to be very much in awe of getting to play- so they treated them with love.

It's okay to take some things and it's not a big deal, but you should leave the kitchen sink at home if you really plan to camp out.
I'm doing fine. How about you?
I once went camping by my self to the coral reef. It was really wonderful.

What dimensions will have the cards in millimeters ?
It's about sleeving the cards... just in case there are bacon pizza greasy hands playing... :)
I'm looking to buy the kmc perfect size. Will they fit ?
http://kmcsleeves.com/gallery/KMCPerfectSize.png
And when do you expect to be in production and ship those shiny cards?
Thanks!
I don't have them on me but can check later. They were the size of a standard playing card.
The dimensions are 2.5" (62mm) by 3.5" (89mm), so they'll fit the 66x91 mm sleeves.
Good ol' flannel ambidextrous EU friendly sleeves.
Indeed Trinkets!
