@Jeff: The main part(and pretty much the whole story) is that Square Enix was possibly going bankrupt, and they could only put out one final game, hence the "Final" in the title of the game.

The harp guy. He's magic. I now return to him, because the headache crawls back as I type this. Stupid YouTube not playing in background.
Jeff 2015-05-11T15:52:11-04:00
YaY for harp guy... I helpeded... I tend to like JLP more, but the higher pitches of the violin, could make headaches worse, depending on the type... so I added AVW.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T15:52:45-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T16:06:01-04:00
Geist, since when is bacon taboo for any meal, snack, non-meal, or bacon-eating-time? Wait, people don't have designated time every day to just sit down and enjoy the magic of bacon?
Would be good to be modifiable for some time. People are constantly !moving, it seems.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T16:36:00-04:00
See, Invoking the name of Bacon brought forth the creators with questions about surveys. Do not abuse this power.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T16:36:57-04:00
Wow, just playing a game I loved from a long time ago and suddenly Elan comes on! I've never had to go through this process yet, so I unfortunately can't be of any help for the surveys other than telling people to hold on to their new homes because there will be a way to change your address when it does come out. I guess with 200,000 backers some (quite a few) are bound to move.
Yeah, usually surveys mean answering the questions, not questioning the answers.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T16:38:12-04:00
Here's an idea for the survey: Bacon?! It seems to have worked this time.
Also, Hello TEP.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T16:41:19-04:00
Agreed with Idle. Also, some surveys are really annoying, some are fine and then we get damn good ones.
Main points:
Stay on topic.
If you need to go off topic keep it short.
If you ask me to rate things from 1 to 10 I might not like it if there are a lot of things to rate.
Rather ask yes/no questions? I realise that marketing forces frown on this old school behaviour.
This is why: "How LIKELY are you to refer this product to your spouse/friend/family/cat/dog/bear/russian/howler monkey etc????"
Really? and based on 1-10 score, marketing forces will either phone you up every second day or send an e-mail once a month. Bugger that.
Yes/No. MAYBE a place for comments/recommendation/words of thanks or simply somewhere to vent pent up aggression for having to wait so long and why isn't my package on my doorstep right now, I live next door to the shipping company/ your HQ.
Sorry, been browsing consumer comments recently. Got carried away.
Elan Lee 2015-05-11T16:42:00-04:00
Good points! We will be giving everyone an opportunity to provide their most up-to-date mailing addresses. There will be a time limit on the survey and changing the address details because we need to send the addresses to be stuck onto the boxes and put in the mail.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T16:43:02-04:00
With bacon!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T16:45:35-04:00
But those mostly hold true. Don't bombard the survey with questions, after all, you are normally doing someone a favour by filling them in. Possibly make the last half optional, as in entirely - do not click here unless you want to play 20 questions - optional, then focus the first half on confirming orders/amount and delivery location.
If I am stating the obvious, Good! then at least we are on the same page.
Ah yes. There are these surveys where all levels are listed, and it's put number of items you pledged for or put zero. I hate those. I always miss something, they are all the same. Rows of zeros with a one there somewhere.
Jeff 2015-05-11T16:51:04-04:00
Survey's are too much like tests... : (
Jeff 2015-05-11T16:51:41-04:00
10's for everyone... now get off my lawn. ; p
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T16:52:04-04:00
Ah! For normal survey type surveys of the survey type and not the marketing/product/corporate type survey: Keep it to the vital statistics and link any other surveys to the end of it.
So let me tell you where I live and confirm the order, possible sending you some pretty thoughts/comments as well. I think I said this before..... I believe it needed re-phrasing.
Then again, maybe my definition of a survey is not what you have in mind. Maybe forward a Template to the 'Corps for inspection prior to sending out to all?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:16:08-04:00
$3- thank
$5- bacon
$33- my oddly shaped, 4D printed, ultralight die because that's what everyone wants.
(hey, he'd get some money that way!)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:18:44-04:00
Wow, I'm looking through 17 pages of puzzle games to find one I remembered, but along the way, only on p. 13 now, I've found so many games I'd loved but forgotten about in the several years since they were made. I still haven't found that one though. And it was made just a couple months ago, not 2005 or something like some of these.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T17:18:58-04:00
ok. I'm out to get bacon at this time of night.
If I return before I get back, keep me here.
Silverfill. Needs polish. No good. Move along or you'll be held responsible for the law!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:24:47-04:00
I know, I thought that was hilarious. It would probably cost like a quarter of that anyways. I love how he just went back to using one of his older profiles.
If you kindly post a link, I'll get on to it first thing in the morning.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-11T17:31:25-04:00
I leave for a moment to plot the dead of my boss and Elan shows up. Dag nabbit! Screw bacon, I need a drink!
*heads off to find the nearest pub*
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T17:33:29-04:00
Well, who else is missing? Derp? you floundering about?
Elan Lee 2015-05-11T17:34:11-04:00
Bacon is on the notepad. Not sure I can promise it will be incorporated. The survey is primarily to get your shipping information and give you the chance to order more copies of the game (like the limited edition SECRET SURPRISE box). We won't ask you any hard, existential questions unless deciding if you want another copy of the game is a hard, existential question. In which case... sorry!
What if I just want the box? One can never have to many boxes...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:37:13-04:00
Creeper is missing out too.
But Elan, philosophy and existentialism can sometimes be the most intriguing of subjects! Pseudo-logic is fun like that. Cue the Jaden Smith tweets.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T17:37:39-04:00
Ah, Clarity.....
Maybe clarify the amounts needed per set, plus (or minus) shipping costs. A lot of backers took the $35 option, but then forgot to include shipping in as well. So they effectively backed at the $20 level plus shipping and are now worried that they won't get their NSFW decks. Although we have been trying to explain it to them during the funding campaign. Success was varied.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:38:22-04:00
Jeff, you're telling me. My brother forgot to bring boxes to help me move from my dorm, so I had to make do with the 3 small ones I had, my ramen and popcorn boxes, and a hamper.
Woah woah woah...if you can't guarantee the bacon, I may just have to back out of this....too late...money is already gone from my account.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:40:17-04:00
TEP, wait, what? I never heard anything about shipping. Alls I was told is pay 35 dollars, recieve NSFW funballs. I hope you're trying to clarify that that is the deal, because your phrasing was slightly confusing there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:40:51-04:00
Think of all the bacon you could get with $35, GM! Now was it worth backing?
Wonder if my pledge amount was enough to cover the shipping of all my NSFW desires...8 of them to be precise(presents...you know? >.>)
Jeff 2015-05-11T17:41:11-04:00
...put everything on your bed, then grab the corners of the sheets, and tie in a knot.
Elan Lee 2015-05-11T17:41:18-04:00
Good point, Ex-President! We'll separate out the Kickstarter pledged credit from the shipping fees so that people can allocate the dollars they pledged on Kickstarter and see how much shipping (if any) they owe.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-05-11T17:44:29-04:00
Did someone mention bacon?
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T17:45:33-04:00
Apologies Zem, Clarity escapes me at this time of night. Idle understands.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:47:10-04:00
So shipping is extra. Or sometihing. Oh well, that'll be easier to understand on the survey.
Jeff, my entire bedding and everything went into a 100+ gallon bag I got from working at the national jamboree. That alone was almost too much. Forgot about that idea though, it might've come in handy. Oh well, it's all here now and sitting in his car because we're too lazy to find room for everything I've ever owned.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:47:54-04:00
Wow, through the power of bacon we summoned Elan, TEP, and now Tchotchke! Bacon!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:48:50-04:00
Wonder how many of the other MIA people we can summon with the bacon.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-05-11T17:54:10-04:00
You know... some surveys have options to pay to be among the first out. That's stupid and elitist. We should be able to pay to have someone else's copy delayed.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:54:28-04:00
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-11T17:54:52-04:00
Well, we should get LZ out and about. Creeper requires cupcakes or mentions of the precious.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:55:59-04:00
I like that idea, tchotchke. I also like the idea of you having an easier name to type on the fly, so i'm just using eric now. You and trinkets are never on at the same time anyways, just like batman and bruce wayne, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-05-11T17:56:37-04:00
I think *too* much bacon may actually kill you.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:56:40-04:00
Quick, someone threaten to steal Creeper's precious! And something about a free space buffet for derp.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-11T17:57:01-04:00
And *eric*, heresy.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-05-11T17:57:41-04:00
Does Trinkets still visit? I only pop in and out (and sometimes don't even post) but I haven't seen him since before the campaign ended.
I'm in an x-world country. Gotta take advantage of that EU mess while it exists.
@ GM, nope, never played the game.
-
it hit me like a ten ton... heavy thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
My head hurts even without hip-hop metal. Dinner, where are you?
Head hurts music: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
..or maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
@Jeff: The main part(and pretty much the whole story) is that Square Enix was possibly going bankrupt, and they could only put out one final game, hence the "Final" in the title of the game.

I'm a Leo. I don't ask. You beg me to.
@ GM, I just like to poke fun... and keep up my Grumpy Old Dude image. Can't have people actually like me... ; p https://www.youtube.com/watch…
The harp guy. He's magic. I now return to him, because the headache crawls back as I type this. Stupid YouTube not playing in background.
YaY for harp guy... I helpeded... I tend to like JLP more, but the higher pitches of the violin, could make headaches worse, depending on the type... so I added AVW.
Idle, harp guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch…
definitely a "harp" guy.
You had to bring a prostrate into this Idle? :-P
Harp(oon) guy? : http://cadmiumred.deviantart.com/art/Harpoon-Man-Inafune-Art-209009486
And after the shit news I just got, I'm going to have bacon for dinner. Just let someone try to tell me I can't.
@Geist: Have some for me too!
Just remember, no matter how bad the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Geist, since when is bacon taboo for any meal, snack, non-meal, or bacon-eating-time? Wait, people don't have designated time every day to just sit down and enjoy the magic of bacon?
http://www.wattpad.com/13235146-taboo-chapter-10-bacon
You know bacon is good, when someone writes a whole chapter for it. ; p
-
I keep some bacon jerky, with maple flavoring, just in case...
Did I hear/smell/taste Bacon?
Awh. I'm dozing off in front of the TV. Good night.
Kevin Bacon, indeed.
Good night, idle.
dream bacon dreams.
Bacon!
And green eggs.
Sorry. still stuck on Bacon.
@Idle: That means your chickens are laying eggs in a toxic waste dump.
http://www.34thdimension.com/images/uploads/2012/kevin_bacon.jpg
I could use some bacon right now.
Nah. It's toxic waste coagulated with caragenan.
We're working on finalizing and testing the survey we built you guys!
Is there anything you love or hate about other surveys we should keep in mind?
mmm.... thinking on that..... prepare to be flooded by every one else and all the opinions on the internet. Thanks for asking!
Would be good to be modifiable for some time. People are constantly !moving, it seems.

We need trained homing pigeons to deliver to people who moved post-distribution. Any ideas for target beacons?
... bacons...
Surely homing pigeons are not yet needed? e-mail should be globally accessable to all, yes?
Target all bacon. Lock sights. Fire until crispy!!!
E-mail them print your own cards? 3D print your deck?
Wait.... What?
You know, Ex, apparently midnight doesn't help our brains. I, for one, intend to SNORE THE HELL OUT OF ALL BACON. Yup.
Swallows: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Email them and tell them they aren't allowed to move until AFTER they get their packages...or no bacon for them.
Nasally fitted Bacon should be tried at least once. Yes, Midnight on the internet is a fun time for all!
Happy Snores Idle!
Snore the HELL out of bacon?! HOLY BACON FOR ALL!!! Is that the surprise in the boxes when the decks come?
You cannot have them home in on Bacon, as everyone has bacon... and if they don't, they probably are not getting exploding kittens either.
Now you made me snort couch. Bravo, sirs.
Mission complete. Bacon awards to all participants

3D printed sterling silver...wait...is that even possible? I demand my bacon back!
