Just watch your ass Zem. I don't know if he's a con man or not, it's entirely possible he isn't. But don't put yourself in a position to be taken financially or to have to answer questions about fraud if it falls to shit.
Well you shouldn't promise things YOU can't fulfill on your own Zem. You cannot make, nor expect, anyone to put forward for anything. Dice campaigns aren't my thing. If anything not experiencing his ire on the forum is a major step at that rate.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-06T22:45:41-04:00
Zem, he's lying to you. Go up to the "Search Projects" bar and type in "Russia". There are, and have been, campaigns run from Russia all along, Amazon Payments or no. Plain and simple, he's a scammer.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T22:48:44-04:00
Hmmm, yes. The Joker just wanted to make a phone call...
I went up to $30. I won't spend anymore, but their other games did sound interesting when I looked into them. I would spend at least $10 on each game on their own ANYWAY so I figured why not.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T22:56:51-04:00
LZ! Hi.
PoT, you don't trust me enough? I want to see how this one ends more than anything. If it fails, I'll probably laugh it off because I know who he is now, so there's so much more to do than just wait till he makes a new campaign.
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T22:57:47-04:00
Yay a sea cucumber farted in my face. Would not recommend 4/10.
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T22:59:37-04:00
Wait that should not be a yay.... Oh well
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-06T22:59:47-04:00
Zem, it has nothing to do with trust. Not trust of you, or trust of him. it has to do with protecting yourself from potentially damaging ramifications and human nature.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-06T23:01:33-04:00
It's what scammers do, Zem. They draw in the folks who want to help, or see good in everyone, then use them and spit them out. Scammers have no problems who they lie to, or when, as long as they win in the end.
What happened was that. This sea cucumber was roaming around looking for some food. I came over to scare it (bad idea on my part). It looked at me then it turned around and sprayed its guts all over my face.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:09:35-04:00
Sea cucumbers are the slowest animals on earth. How long did you wait for it to turn around and look up at you?! You haven't been back to earth long enough for that!
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T23:10:23-04:00
It took a couple of years but it was so worth it in the end. 8/10 with rice.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:13:25-04:00
The guts flying in your face you gave a 4/10 were worth 8/10?
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T23:13:30-04:00
I thought sponges were slower
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T23:16:37-04:00
Only with rice... Only
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:18:38-04:00
Hah, I looked it up and the internet still believes three toed sloths are slowest. Slowest land/tree animal, yeah, but I guess they think sea cucumbers and sponges are just... well, cucumbers and sponges.
Barnacle, you don't get slower than never actually moving.
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T23:20:29-04:00
I looked it up and turns out that when I'm no for extended periods of times here everything gets very far off topic.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:21:10-04:00
Yeah, technically to be the slowest MOVING animal you have to be an animal. Plus, before they attatch they move pretty fast, at least as fast as the water.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:21:39-04:00
yes, derp, that seems to be your talent.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T23:23:50-04:00
Barnacles are animals, but you're right, tthey're pretty speedy before attaching themselves to something.
Epicderpguy 2015-05-06T23:24:15-04:00
Derp powers activate!
If batman's parents died how was he born?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:24:32-04:00
That's where the term "quick as a barnacle" comes from, right? It'll catch on, don't you mind.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:24:58-04:00
So a worm with no legs or arms. That would be the slowest.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:28:30-04:00
so sea sponges move about 1-4 mm per day, but I can't find anything on sea cucumbers. I think you're right, though; pretty sure sponges are slower. At KittenCon let's set up a race!
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T23:28:57-04:00
Wrong, Derp, worms can move pretty quick when they want to
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T23:29:26-04:00
Sounds like a plan!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:29:32-04:00
Yes. Yes derp. A "worm" with no arms or legs would be very slow, but still not as slow as a sponge. Humans couldn't move that slow if they were dead!
It could be it's name, or a color for the uniform to differentiate it from other things. There will be a green, it only makes sense.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-06T23:38:32-04:00
Indeed, but for the purposes of the race....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:39:18-04:00
ψ. ψ is always the answer.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:41:08-04:00
Psshshshh. That professor didn't reply yet and he's a "the only leeway is in the rules" kind of guy. I could've taken the test otherwise if I'd signed up for a different date last week, but I didn't think I'd miss the exam completely. I really REALLY hope I don't have to retake Calc II because I screwed up one tiny goddam date. I already have to retake one class this summer.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:44:53-04:00
Hmm. I love standardized, scan-tron, fill in the bubble tests. I do so well. I went into that final yesterday, the one in the class I was failing anyways so I'd have to retake unless I could impossibly bump to a C, with literally no studying but the half hour before the exam started. 67%. The real sad thing is that's the best test I've had in that class all semester. My life is awesome!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:47:43-04:00
But how is a 67/100 a 33rd percentile on the national average? That class never ceases to blow my brains all over the wall in a rorshach test.
depressing mind=blown for ya.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:48:01-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:52:46-04:00
Good night.
Aah, 495.20/1,000 in that class! So close to 50% even!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:53:40-04:00
better than I thought I'd do. I had a 33% average on all exams.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-06T23:54:29-04:00
That's also not indicative of any other class grades, mind y'all. Don't judge lest ye taketh THAT hell of a class! (which I have the honor of retaking as it's specific to my major)
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-07T00:03:16-04:00
67/100 is 33rd percentile because 67% of the people who took it did better than 67
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-07T00:04:03-04:00
And you can keep your calculus nonsense
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-07T00:11:21-04:00
And physics. I'm glad I never had to take either of those
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T00:13:09-04:00
I don't want it, you take it! Just feed it to the cats or something.
just watching Weird Al classics like white and nerdy and Amish Paradise. So much fun.
Now, for my next act, I'll be AFK for some time now in the bathroom. Good luck without me! MUHUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-07T00:17:24-04:00
Meh, it's time for me to go to sleep, anyway
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-07T00:27:19-04:00
Kids nowadays. In my day, 67% was a good solid high "F" (70 and below was "F"). An "A" was anything 93 and above. I have this conversation with my college going SO#1 all the time.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T00:42:27-04:00
It was for us, too. I think that's the standard, really. But you need a C in this class and he said the average was around C+, meaning just slightly under half of people failed. There wasn't a direct letter grade, he shifted it around to fit the scale a little, but still, though I may be at the bottom or close of the class, probably around 45% of people need to retake it. I need to retake it before junior year, meaning I'd better pass soon.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-05-07T00:44:48-04:00
Kids nowadays. In my day, Weird Al classics were "Dare to Be Stupid" and "Eat it"
Sending bikini cat love to you all. May you wake up with fruitattens aplenty.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T01:09:40-04:00
DDD, I watched those too. Also, Hi everyone!
Haven't seen you in a few days, creeper. Also, do you still watch Chameleon's show? I'm still there supporting him. You should help me bring him back to these comments for at least a quick cameo.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T01:11:59-04:00
DDD and at the drivethrough, the saga begins, etc.
It all started with a youtube ccomment section on Al's channel's latest video of unboxing a grammy and someone started a chain of the Everything You Know is Wrong story. It's hilarious.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T01:53:38-04:00
Hmm. quiet again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-07T02:27:00-04:00
I think I'll take this opportunity to remind people that there IS a forum, remember?
Also, I think this is the dead time the europeans used to fill until all but like 3 people in that time zone left, one or two of which haven't been here in a couple days. Therefore if I don't post again, this is Good night!
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-05-07T02:41:46-04:00

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-07T10:17:09-04:00
So I wonder how long it will take before our illustrious Russian scammer tries again?
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-07T10:19:03-04:00
I've been looking at the Russian projects that claim to run from Russia. They all appear to be funded in Canadian dollars. I wonder how that works out?
Getting a non-resident Canadian account is much easier than getting a non-resident US account.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-07T10:23:25-04:00
I asked over on BGG, and apparently you cannot fund to or from Russia, but as long as you are honest, you can be in Russia -- just list a US address, and have a non-Russian bank account. One game running now lists the development team as being in Russia, but the firm is located in NYC for the purposes of KS, and the game is being run out of Florida.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-07T10:25:28-04:00
They have a thread going on over on BGG titled "Worst Kickstarter Ever" where folks post links to bad games and campaigns. Poorly run, scams, deficient designs, poor results ...
I picked a good time to come here, I see
Just watch your ass Zem. I don't know if he's a con man or not, it's entirely possible he isn't. But don't put yourself in a position to be taken financially or to have to answer questions about fraud if it falls to shit.

Hmmm, yes. The Joker just wanted to make a phone call...
How you doin' LZ?
How've you been LZ? Unraveled is back up too!
Pretty good. I sprained a rib early last week, but that's healing now
Yes, and I got one of the early bird packages!
I debated it, but decided I wanted a different option. The timing thing just doesn't really matter to me personally.
Oooh! And the most exciting news of all is that a friend of mine wants me to help him restore an '84 Honda CRX, at which point, it will be mine!
I'm number 52.
Nice!
Yay healing ribs! Yay, early bird package!
Very nice! Which option did you get?
Yay-est CRX!
I went up to $30. I won't spend anymore, but their other games did sound interesting when I looked into them. I would spend at least $10 on each game on their own ANYWAY so I figured why not.
LZ! Hi.

And with that I am off to bed. Goodnight ya'll.
Did you mean to say, pay a sea cucumber farted in my face? That isn't something I would spend money on.
Nuklearpower is back up!!! Yes! The server was down for so long and I was only in the early 600s
lol I almost forgot I got you stuck on that.
Oh, that $30 tier does look nice
What happened was that. This sea cucumber was roaming around looking for some food. I came over to scare it (bad idea on my part). It looked at me then it turned around and sprayed its guts all over my face.
That means it was trying to eat you
Have you been reading 8-bit theater Derp?
No what is it?
I was actually trying to eat it.
Sea cucumbers are the slowest animals on earth. How long did you wait for it to turn around and look up at you?! You haven't been back to earth long enough for that!

Derp: Cloning.
Dun dun DUNNN!!!!!
Barnacles ARE animals. They are arthropods. Also propulsion through water by water doesn't count as the movement of the barnacle.
But to be the slowest MOVING animal, you kinda have to by definition, y'know... MOVE!
Shenanigans.
So a worm with no legs or arms. That would be the slowest.
so sea sponges move about 1-4 mm per day, but I can't find anything on sea cucumbers. I think you're right, though; pretty sure sponges are slower. At KittenCon let's set up a race!

Yes. Yes derp. A "worm" with no arms or legs would be very slow, but still not as slow as a sponge. Humans couldn't move that slow if they were dead!
I'm going to hedge all my bets on green!
I did the math: sponges move a MAXIMUM of 1.035625x10^-8 miles per hour, written out is .00000001035625 mi/h
DrP, green?
There's bound to be some kind of color coordinated options to choose from.
That's why I always go with ψ. always a winner.
Sea cucumber is green
not always. https://www.google.com/search…
It could be it's name, or a color for the uniform to differentiate it from other things. There will be a green, it only makes sense.

Psi, the greek letter. One of the more fun ones.
I was being facetious.
Or, you know, þ, ŋ, æ, Ξ, ¤, or צ work if there's no better one.
