I did get to snuggle with most of them. Kirby is one of my favorites- he's the white and tan sitting so tall and stoic. Beautiful eyes. The kitty that was sleeping has been in the shelter for a year and a half. :( the vets say people always overlook him.

weight, pictures? What am I missing? WHERE DEM KITTEHS?!
Derek Hatfield 2015-04-18T00:19:34-04:00
Played some Kittens in a Blender tonight, just made me think of how much I want to play this one!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T00:49:26-04:00
It has certainly become very quiet in here the last few days ... I pop in and read up on the back posts, but never really see folks chatting.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-18T00:53:44-04:00
I know. I can read back to where I left off before going to bed or playing a game. But where dem kittehs? I wanna see creeper pics that aren't apparently on the forum where they should be.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-18T02:01:07-04:00
Aah, that'd be it. See, I don't have twitter. I believe it's the peephole to hell and avoid it at all costs lest satan find me and drag me down there with him. Or it could be that I'm lazy, wouldn't follow anyone or ever check it, and just don't need it. I'll have to go search some out then.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-18T10:57:52-04:00
Hiya cats! Just wanted to check in before I head out to my last official Exploding Kittens play test party in the Chi. Have a spectacular day everyone!
Epicderpguy 2015-04-18T13:10:22-04:00
En urpdate came! Er mer gud.
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-18T13:26:41-04:00
Quiet here at Maximum Distractions. The calm before the storm? Lets hope...
Poz 2015-04-18T13:37:49-04:00
Can someone explain the weird naming convention that seems to only exists on this kickstarter project? The whole "*first name* 'arbitrary slogan' *last name*", thing.
Hi poz- how are you? It's happened on a couple of campaigns with active members. But it just started with some regulars giving each other or themselves nicknames, mainly people in the kittencorps.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T13:46:36-04:00
We're all just nerds, giving ourselves silly nicknames ...
OMG POZ It's been SOOOOO long! So why'd you ditch us? Just get what you wanted from us and leave was it? Comment section player! Also the middle thing was the nickname or character names we picked for our Kitten Corps. fan club. You WERE invited a at one point long ago, in a time before you used us like a one use douche and tossed us aside! But I digress Mr. Hit-it-and-quit-it, How have you been? :P
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T15:29:40-04:00
This has been an exceedingly good week. Found several hard to find books off my wish-list in quick succession, and managed to snag them all other than one in Germany where I am waiting for a reply from the seller as to postage costs.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T15:30:36-04:00
The weekend looks to be a lazy one, just catching up on cleaning, laundry, etc. I should mow the lawn, but screw that. I like my grass a bit more lush than all the neighbors it appears.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T15:32:28-04:00
The Aza Dice campaign ends in under 24 hours, and it would seem the concerns we voiced have scared off any of his backers ... The Ovi Dice guy still claims to be totally innocent ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T15:32:53-04:00
Geist has been ragging on the Ovi guy though ... holding his feet to the fire as it were.
I know how that goes. I did a small thing for lodge, but other than that and hitting the gym it's all little tasks that need done. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry, ect. Our grass hasn't come in too think just yet here.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-18T16:03:00-04:00
It may just be I have a soft spot for Tron (the original). I saw it opening day at a smallish theatre, and got interviewed by the local NBC station as I came out ... so I got on the news. Whoopee.
Wait.... I'm a cat!?! What happened to me last night.
Epicderpguy 2015-04-19T11:25:17-04:00
Also just fun fact for anyone who reads this. This is my last day Hereford a while. I'm going to be gone for a week. I'll try to be on as much as possible today. I'm saying this cuz when I come back I may see no real reason to come back.
@ Derp
If you go to the USS Alabama Museum, you will also see the USS Drum. It is a Submarine.., not a whale. ; p
Epicderpguy 2015-04-19T19:38:47-04:00
Well I best call this a good bye. I may or may not be back.
William 2015-04-19T20:09:34-04:00
Will there be a survey sent out to confirm shipping addresses?
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-19T20:14:57-04:00
@William. Yes. Closer to the shipping date.

Hi
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-20T08:47:04-04:00
G' morning kittens. Now is the winter of our discontent, all the Kitten Consul parties have concluded and we must now wait for the coming of July and the shipping of our final games. Sadness overwhelms.
Lucky for me I still have 1 deck, so I can still get a game together if I want.
As I have nothing better to do on weekends, I intend to get a bike. Mountains are not really my thing (I think), but sitting at home in such a nice weather should be punishable by law. So... here you go.
What's up, kits?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-20T09:40:21-04:00
Good morning (for me) Tsveta ... nothing new here, other than trying to wrangle a book from Amazon.de.
Hooray for waiting for a program update...then having to restart your computer 2 times in 30 minutes...Mondays, oh so much fun. -.-
Nonie 2015-04-20T12:16:32-04:00
Question, Maybe someone can help here: If I wanted to change my order and just get a second copy of *whatever* it may have been I ordered, will I be able to actually purchase a second copy of the same thing before the order goes out fully? Or do I just need to wait until the game goes live? [I saw something in the last update about being able to change things so I wanted to ask]
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-20T13:36:36-04:00
AFAIK, if you pledged for "X" then you get "X" -- I don't think the creative team is going to allow additional add-on orders after the campaign has ended. Otherwise the Kickstarter exclusive NSFW deck could be ordered after the fact and not really be a KS exclusive any more.
They have noted that if you pledged, and for whatever reason your funds weren't properly collected by KS, they will work with those people and still get them what they pledged for via other means.
Well...I have decided that we need to start labeling all the food we put into the freezer...in particular, all the meals we do up for lunches with the leftovers. Allergy to seafood, check. Picking something from the freezer, unknowingly, that is a seafood dish, check. Noticing before eating any of it, priceless(and painless/reaction free).
Hi Dr.P! Last night was first official shift at new job. I missed a step, twisted my ankle and fell on my knee at the start of the shift!! But was too mortified to say anything. Hahaha... Worked on it all night and now icing it till work tonight. What a wreck!
@Potatten: I thought I smelled something fishy when I was heating it up in the microwave, so that was my first indication, then found scallop before I even put the fork into it. I will need to end up finding something to eat a little later...but for now the veggies and apple and granola bars will have to do.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-04-20T14:30:18-04:00
Hello everyone! Sorry I didn't even dive-bomb you guys yesterday, it was Worlds of Fun day. And it was whole worlds of fun! (I couldn't resist. Well, yes I could, but I didn't want to.)
Lord Zombitten 2015-04-20T14:44:49-04:00
Finally had a chance to count the leftover KC pens. I have 50 left
Apparently you have to post something to see something.... it's being a jerk this KS is! I feel you LZ, but alas such is the daily grind and so and so forth and such like.
I am so glad there is an Italian deli on the floor below my office. Since bringing that poison(seafood dish) for lunch, I've been starving. Got myself a nice spaghetti with mini-meatballs and tomato sauce, extra cheese. Even got chocolate milk with it. Now, maybe I will be able to focus...if I can get the rest of the information/approvals I need. -.-
I used to hate the stuff. Now, it's not so bad. Prefer all the nice home made sauces over those canned/jarred things(can't really call them a sauce).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-04-20T17:39:59-04:00
Spaghetti is great, given that you have home made noodles and sauce! Not too keen on boxed pasta or store bought "sauce".... I actually like to take a pot roast, pull it apart like pulled pork and add it to the sauce, let that simmer for a couple of hours, boo yeah! So good...
No. Far from ok. I need a vacation...or a new position. So much BS. My manager knows I've only been doing payroll for 8months(since I started here in fact) and expects me to KNOW everything at a glance. This might drive me insane, or to be so stressed it severely impacts my health.
@GM, I'm sorry to hear that about your work. I've known you weren't happy, just not how much. I hope either it gets better soon or you get a new job. No point in beating a dead horse you know?
Hi there, I am from Singapore and I have pledged money for one deck during the kickstarter period. May I know is there any way to check when is my order arriving?
Powers of Tesla 2015-04-21T07:46:19-04:00
@Jeremy. Sorry you had to wait so long for this. No. There is no way to know precisely when the decks will ship at this time. Keep an eye on the "Updates" section. Before the decks ship a link to a survey will be emailed to the email address you have registered.
Yeah, who does that? Everyone knows it is KS tradition to delay at LEAST once!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-04-21T09:57:14-04:00
@Potatten, even the best one to date for me was delayed around a month, which by ks terms is at least 2 months early! I have a few that are over one year late... You pays your money and you takes your chances! These EK guys are just a bunch of rebel rousing, ne'er do wellers that break all of ks conventions! Breaking records, having a fun and interactive campaign, and now they're probably going to ship it on time! The audacity!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-21T10:08:27-04:00
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Billet Dice guy has already been delivering his project, even though he hadn't yet received his funds from KS! Some folks are already getting their dice. He claims he will have all orders shipped with three weeks of campaign ending.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-04-21T10:10:59-04:00
@GCoD, what is wrong with these people! Man! Don't they know its and unwritten rule to be late on delivery? Who are these over achievers and where do they come from! This could start some sort of a trend where creators actually had to be accountable for delivery dates or something!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-04-21T10:18:56-04:00
I suspect we just hear about all the bad eggs, and not the mundane jobs that get done fast and efficiently. The Billet Dice guys owns the machines he uses, had the idea, and was essentially using KS to advertise his product. He has a second campaign now for a Top (spinning kind).
@Kaz: They haven't sent out the survey yet, so you can update it when they send the survey.
Awh man... Just left the shelter. My heart is just so sad and fuzzy right now. So many sweet babies.
Just saw your pics Creeper. Heartbreaking, I know.
I did get to snuggle with most of them. Kirby is one of my favorites- he's the white and tan sitting so tall and stoic. Beautiful eyes. The kitty that was sleeping has been in the shelter for a year and a half. :( the vets say people always overlook him.

We're all just nerds, giving ourselves silly nicknames ...
How's your day going, cane?
LOL I only just now signed back in, I've been doing household chores up til now.
OMG POZ It's been SOOOOO long! So why'd you ditch us? Just get what you wanted from us and leave was it? Comment section player! Also the middle thing was the nickname or character names we picked for our Kitten Corps. fan club. You WERE invited a at one point long ago, in a time before you used us like a one use douche and tossed us aside! But I digress Mr. Hit-it-and-quit-it, How have you been? :P
So how is the start of everyone's weekends?
This has been an exceedingly good week. Found several hard to find books off my wish-list in quick succession, and managed to snag them all other than one in Germany where I am waiting for a reply from the seller as to postage costs.
The weekend looks to be a lazy one, just catching up on cleaning, laundry, etc. I should mow the lawn, but screw that. I like my grass a bit more lush than all the neighbors it appears.

I'm glad to hear she's in high spirits! I haven't seen her on this forum much lately.
I'm also trying to avoid buying this board game I found online: http://www.nestorgames.com/#arcade_detail I doubt I'd ever play it, but the design is just so cool.
Special this week at 105 Euro ... which is really pricey ...
Roughly $125 after shipping. Ouch. No, even if it does look like a cool game.
Ouch that is pricey.
And really, I just want the parts ...tanks, etc. ... the design looks nice, who knows what the game play is like.
lol I guess I can understand that.
It may just be I have a soft spot for Tron (the original). I saw it opening day at a smallish theatre, and got interviewed by the local NBC station as I came out ... so I got on the news. Whoopee.
I really did love the original
Home at last. The play test went well. About 15 people all told, but they all had fun.
Good night, sweet kittens.
Good morning, kittens!
Morning to you to
Wait.... I'm a cat!?! What happened to me last night.
Also just fun fact for anyone who reads this. This is my last day Hereford a while. I'm going to be gone for a week. I'll try to be on as much as possible today. I'm saying this cuz when I come back I may see no real reason to come back.

Good morning corps!
Good morning everyone! How have you been Tsveta?
Morning troops. I won't be checking in here too much today. Lots to do. I'll try and pop in around lunch, but no promises.
Ok, talk to you when you're around GM!
Hooray for waiting for a program update...then having to restart your computer 2 times in 30 minutes...Mondays, oh so much fun. -.-

Ah, I hate it when that kind of thing happens. Keep it on ice and get it looked at if it doesn't get better.

Finally had a chance to count the leftover KC pens. I have 50 left
I want one just to have one but it really isn't worth it enough to send it via postage, just have to grab one at the next kitten con.
zem- I'm so jealous! I miss worlds of fun so much!
How's it going LZ?
I haven't been to Cedar Point in a while. The last amusement park I went to was Carowinds, sometime in 2010.
I'm doing fine. I don't want to go back to work today, though
I'm doing fine. I don't want to go back to work today, though
Why isn't Kickstarter letting me comment?

Apparently you have to post something to see something.... it's being a jerk this KS is! I feel you LZ, but alas such is the daily grind and so and so forth and such like.
Did pebbles break KS again?
Probably, those damn kids!
lol, it certainly is laggy one way or another.
I am so glad there is an Italian deli on the floor below my office. Since bringing that poison(seafood dish) for lunch, I've been starving. Got myself a nice spaghetti with mini-meatballs and tomato sauce, extra cheese. Even got chocolate milk with it.

I love spaghetti, I would eat it every meal of every day if I wouldn't get sick of it.
I used to hate the stuff. Now, it's not so bad. Prefer all the nice home made sauces over those canned/jarred things(can't really call them a sauce).
Spaghetti is great, given that you have home made noodles and sauce! Not too keen on boxed pasta or store bought "sauce".... I actually like to take a pot roast, pull it apart like pulled pork and add it to the sauce, let that simmer for a couple of hours, boo yeah! So good...

They're probably going to mess with everyone's head and ship this one on time! I wouldn't put it past them! Bunch o' savages!
Yeah, who does that? Everyone knows it is KS tradition to delay at LEAST once!

Hi, and probably bye until late this afternoon.
@GM, hope your day goes better for you than yesterday! Good luck!
Hi everyone.
