@Potatten: Kickstarter needs to go on hiatus for me to not find something interesting...chances of that happening -500%. I just star projects for now(unless I think it will be awesome and can't resist...hence Tokyo Dark and Bloodstained).
Okay. Was going to say only people in the US get free shipping, and only for the first pledge amount. Make sure you select the NSFW package for $35 if you want to keep shipping low INSTEAD of selecting the SFW one and NSFW one separately. The package WILL contain everything. Though it is obvious, make sure your order is correct.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-01T15:12:56-04:00
@GM: I was only pointing out that it could be worse. Plus this job helps keep knee deep in KS campaigns. I'm bouncing between KS and finding good free stuff on Craig's List.
@Geist: I'm bouncing back and forth between finding information for stuff that happened 2-3 months ago, KS, and actually doing my job(still waiting on information/people to be set up in the payroll program).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-01T15:24:17-04:00
And while you are waiting, surf the net. I figure if people aren't getting me the stuff that I need on time, then they are wasting the company's money, not me.
@Geist: Not to mention when I don't get the information to do my job, like proper communication of how to do some of the stuff...it makes a little more murderous.
I did play the Unraveled demo - not the whole one. It's intriguing and I'd like to see how the story goes, but it's pretty melancholic and slow and you have to trace back too many times. Not a fan of the boss fights either. Interesting battle system but does it have place in this world? I'd choose something different for the encounters. Overall a nice game and the quirky graphics get used to, but apart from my curiosity about the story it's not my game. I may hate myself, story-wise.
I'd take a plushie though :) He's awfully cute.
Question: If you select the FIRST EDITION DECK plus the STANDALONE NSFW DECK, does that mean that you get more stuff than selecting the NSFW DECK PACKAGE... because the STANDALONE NSFW DECK comes in its own unique box, but the deck package puts SFW and NSFW in the same special edition box?
Nope, the package includes EVERYTHING. All the awards for both individual items are in the one selection. You can ask for them separately, but that is kind of silly and could increase shipping.
Tokyo dark, the tiers have approximate values below :)
Sharon Clark 2015-06-01T16:11:18-04:00
Okay, then. I just wondered since the Deck package makes ZERO mention of the shiny NSFW box but does mention the Secret Surprise box. The omission in a listing usually leads me to think it's done for a reason... because it's not included.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-01T16:11:33-04:00
@GM: This is what frustrates me working in offices: The uneven work that people do and the lack of communication. I just got off the phone with a co-worker and she was telling me that she has trained someone else 3 times and STILL they don't know what they are doing when it comes to setting up the invoice in the system. It drives me crazy because it holds me up and then I get crap from the vendor asking where their payment is at.
I know Tsveta, but I didn't realize that until later because I didn't realize what that meant. Due to the fact that it shows me literally everything as $USD except for that one thing....
The digi-pack sounds reasonable. Artbook and soundtrack. No shipping. Shweet.
Gonna be some looong credits though... And I need to fix my laptop to play. Mobile versions aren't that popular yet.
damajor 2015-06-01T16:35:40-04:00
I cant wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-01T16:37:47-04:00
Why is said person still being trained?
Good question Idle. This burns my chaps for several reasons.
1. This person is getting full time benefits and I'm not
2. I was fired from a job last year because they said I didn't pick up the material fast enough (I was only there for 3 weeks) Yet this person has been here for months and still hasn't picked it up.
@Geist: I worked with a guy, back when I worked at a Boston Pizza, that didn't understand how to make most of the pizzas for 4-5months...he only got fired for smoking pot on the job.
@Sharon: Sad thing is, at the same location, they fired someone for hitting on one of the bussers(granted, she was only 16 at the time, and he was 25, so it was definitely something I would have fired him for).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-01T20:54:47-04:00
It could be worse. You could be the new kids that is coming out of Kim Kardashian in the next 7 months.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-06-01T20:56:51-04:00
So I ordered a book "blind" from a Japanese dealer in rare books, using Google Translate to do most of the process. I knew the title would be the correct one, but I had no idea on the condition of the book or such. It just arrived in the mail and I am elated. It was published in 1985 in a limited edition of only 1500 numbered copies. Mine is #2. I wonder whose it was? At that low a number, it had to be one of the people who is listed as either the authors or photographers involved in the production of the book.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-06-01T20:58:01-04:00
Tipped inside the back cover are some hand-made maps, the originals of which are in the book in a separate folder as pull-outs.
sacha 2015-06-01T21:27:53-04:00
I feel a bit stupid to ask. But how and when will I get my copy of exploding kittens?
I live in Montreal, Canada.
Thank you
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-06-01T21:33:27-04:00
Shipping is supposed to occur in July, but with almost 220,000 orders to ship, it could take a bit of time to physically process all the orders.
Kathy Ma 2015-06-01T22:46:00-04:00
so excited to get my decks in July!
Dave 2015-06-01T23:27:39-04:00
Still no survey
Martin Dambacher 2015-06-01T23:54:14-04:00
still no survey, too.
Matthew Kraut 2015-06-02T00:31:13-04:00
I have tried every option (ask for new invite, submit to the FAQ, contacted Elan) to try and receive my survey but nothing has worked. How can I get the survey before the June 7th deadline and be able to get my game and not be locked out?
Dave 2015-06-02T01:42:34-04:00
Wouldn't it be funny if this turned out to be a scam. Lol
Boris Kaminski 2015-06-02T05:05:29-04:00
Shipping is now $5 extra? Why? I paid already $15 for shipping to germany.
Jefferson Soh 2015-06-02T05:19:18-04:00
Hello I didn't get the survey
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-02T07:23:18-04:00
@Dave: Not really. Scams are never funny and I highly doubt The Oatmeal would risk the goodwill of his fan base to pull off one. Plus with a couple of best selling books, I doubt if he is hurting for money.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-06-02T08:04:08-04:00
To all backers who have not yet received surveys, you can try the following:
If the request doesn't give you what you're looking for, and the search doesn't turn up anything, contact Support@explodingkittens.com for help. If they receive your email you will get an email saying they received it and will get back to you. If you do not get THAT you may want to contact your ISP and ask them about not receiving an expected email because they are probably the problem. They could be blocking it on their side as well.
Also tweet at them on twitter as well and see what can be done there. Some email addresses have gotten truncated with the export/import from/to Kickstarter to PledgeManager. This would help you there, and be a problem on the PledgeManager side of things."
We have until the 7th to complete the surveys, so there is still time. Your patience is appreciated.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-06-02T08:06:25-04:00
Hi Kitten Corps!
Not yet swimming in the rain, but it is decidedly wet out here this afternoon. Tomorrow we will be needing boats and rubber dinghies to navigate the waterways.
Well it's not like they get all the money. A VERY large portion of that goes to other things. Taxes being the first thing most people don't seem to realize that they have to pay.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-02T10:14:43-04:00
Why is it that thunder storms happen just when I'm trying to get home from work? The good news: I got to avoid 90% of the down pour thanks to a lengthy bus ride home.
Jeff 2015-06-02T10:23:34-04:00
It was a joke reply to it being a scam, and about losing a fan base.
@Boris and Sabina: The shipping that was originally stated in the pledges is usually an estimate of the rates when they started the campaign, and includes the amounts as of that time.
On a side note...I love when people send an email with an attachment(excel file) that has parts highlighted, but the email says nothing. Just has their signature. Expecting you to KNOW what they mean...makes life SOOOOOOOOO much more fun......................................................
All shipping prices were estimates in the first place, they said that much. That means they were subject to change. People, EK Team isn't god-incarnate. They have no control over how much the post office tells them they have to pay.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-02T13:21:40-04:00
The Oatmeal isn't a god? But what about toast miracle?
Hi Kittens! Sorry I stepped in and out. Summer going well so far. had a little BBQ with some new coworkers, bu forgot to introduce them to exploding kittens! Next time.
No Precious miracle yet. But! Remember that bus ticket fiasco?? Got the notification today that I am not guilty and dont have to pay anything. Huzzah!
@Creeper: We haven't heard much from about 70-80% of the Corp. Or anyone else(aside from questions about survey, jubilations about having submitted survey, and that's about it). Kind of depressing how the campaign ended, and people just went poof. I miss my kittens. T.T
They pop in and out when they can GM. Last I heard LZ was doing well, it wasn't too long ago. And glad to hear that ticket got tossed! No worries on the survey front. I'm just keeping all the things that work in the one block and reposting it. Ex did it earlier.
It's tough to maintain being here and other stuff. At least with me it has been - working a ton at new gig, and cannot be on phone at all (will be fired!) and baking has been crazy! But i think if y'all a lot, and check in even if i can't quite say hello! FRUITATTENS FOR ALL
Good to hear! I hope everyone ends up finding a way to get their survey response to them. I know the support staff will match up who's still missing and find a way to reach out. Sad that some people can't seem to get one just yet. I didn't receive an initial one, but once I sent the request through the website, it showed right up.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-02T13:56:15-04:00
I'm sure some of the gang will come back when we start getting the cards and the surprise trinket that comes with it. I'll still try to recruit new followers whenever I play the game with new people. Maybe it will help if/when the EK gang launches a new game. Might help break even more records.
Epicderpguy 2015-06-02T13:57:05-04:00
Dang I only with @derp was still here. :(
Epicderpguy 2015-06-02T13:57:30-04:00
It's just not as enjoyable any more
Epicderpguy 2015-06-02T13:58:21-04:00
I'm not sure I can live without him. Heck I might leave as well. :(
@Potatten: I understand life gets busy for people...doesn't mean I can't miss them.
@Creeper: I hate jobs like that where you can't even check your phone(it could be an emergency!). I worked at one for a few weeks and left because there was potential for that one phone call, and I even mentioned it to my boss, he said no exceptions.
@Geist: Hopefully...I just know it will be fun to open the box when I get it and see all those shiny wrapped boxes with the little surprises in them.
@Derp: You're always welcome to chat with us, that derp guy doesn't come around much these days.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-06-02T14:12:17-04:00
Wait a tick. You mean there is still time for me to purloin the precious? *rubbing hands together and thinks thoughts of fresh buttered toast*
And yes Geist, you still have time! Ooh! I need to check the trackig number. At the time it just said "label created"
@GM - Yeah, its tough. We can check it on our break, and i can sneak into the bathroom and check if necessary. They also said if you *are* expecting an important call, let them know ahead of time and if you're not busy, you can take it. But the important people in my life know to just call the front desk and ask for me.
ANd I understand...i miss the peoples too. I wonder how Professor F is holding up!
@Potatten/Creeper/Derp: I think he is also still fuming over EvilU revoking his professor status. But you never know, he could be trying to reconnect his power, which is rather hard to do in the dark...on the moon.
Last chances for unraveled coming up, three hours remaining.
Bloodstained did quite seem to be my thing, I'll have to give it another look... damn you KS and your addictiveness...
@Potatten: Kickstarter needs to go on hiatus for me to not find something interesting...chances of that happening -500%. I just star projects for now(unless I think it will be awesome and can't resist...hence Tokyo Dark and Bloodstained).
I'm similar. I can be really picky though, hence only the 10 things I've backed.
Survey problem : My pledge was 35$ but now it says I owe $15 when selecting my $35 NSFW deck package.
Where are located geographically Jesse?
Ope, wait nm. found the problem myself.
Okay. Was going to say only people in the US get free shipping, and only for the first pledge amount. Make sure you select the NSFW package for $35 if you want to keep shipping low INSTEAD of selecting the SFW one and NSFW one separately. The package WILL contain everything.

Not everything is for everyone Tsveta! Glad you gave it a look though. I found a new thing too: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/114971883/tokyo-dark/comments
Yeses. Much better.
Question: If you select the FIRST EDITION DECK plus the STANDALONE NSFW DECK, does that mean that you get more stuff than selecting the NSFW DECK PACKAGE... because the STANDALONE NSFW DECK comes in its own unique box, but the deck package puts SFW and NSFW in the same special edition box?
Nope, the package includes EVERYTHING. All the awards for both individual items are in the one selection. You can ask for them separately, but that is kind of silly and could increase shipping.
Comment
There's the issue with the prices? What's that approximation of dollars to dollars?
*waves at Idle* How are the smoking kitties today?
¿Say again?
Tokyo dark, the tiers have approximate values below :)
Okay, then. I just wondered since the Deck package makes ZERO mention of the shiny NSFW box but does mention the Secret Surprise box. The omission in a listing usually leads me to think it's done for a reason... because it's not included.

It drives me crazy because it holds me up and then I get crap from the vendor asking where their payment is at.
They realized that, and said they would change it. Looks like that proved to be harder to do than anticipated.
Hey Geist. Believe it or not, amoebas are pretty smart. But then again, it has a cell.
Why is said person still being trained?
I know Tsveta, but I didn't realize that until later because I didn't realize what that meant. Due to the fact that it shows me literally everything as $USD except for that one thing....
Ahh now I see, Canadian dollars. Even better.
The digi-pack sounds reasonable. Artbook and soundtrack. No shipping. Shweet.
Gonna be some looong credits though... And I need to fix my laptop to play. Mobile versions aren't that popular yet.

Pft. You can smoke garlic if you do your job for what I care.
We're starting to get some stupidization US-style :) tell on a friend shit. Yeah right.
I'd rather eat garlic...bread. Or some garlic mixed into a soup. Some garlic sauted with a little olive oil and string beans. Mmmmmmm.
I hate you.
@Owen I've seen that. It's like being back in middle school, except this time (strategic) popularity rather than your academic performance determines if and how you graduate.
http://edition.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/worklife/11/06/not.fired/
@Idle: You love me. *grins*
How about some garlic flavored popcorn? Mmmmmmm.
@Sharon: Sad thing is, at the same location, they fired someone for hitting on one of the bussers(granted, she was only 16 at the time, and he was 25, so it was definitely something I would have fired him for).
Yuck.
Zucchini with garlic. Mmmm.
Nighty :)
@Tsveta: G'night, hopefully you had enough garlic today to keep Vampires away. ;)
Night Tsveta!
Remember everyone, it could be worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Hi Ex!
Hi Dr P! How is your JibberJabber?
It's jibjabby. How's your day going so faR?
So far, so wet. Drizzling at the moment. Office is quiet for a change, no major projects going on.
Well some of the Thunder Storm blew through, the last remnants of it haven't decided if they are going to move on or do something.
Yeah, with a 3 way split on $8.7M... I wouldn't be to worried about (or need) any fan base... ; p
Well it's not like they get all the money. A VERY large portion of that goes to other things. Taxes being the first thing most people don't seem to realize that they have to pay.

HELLO KITTENS!
Hey Creeper! How've you been? Enjoying summer for what you can?
Creeper! Where have you been hiding?
Does though have thy precious yert?
yet*.... or you know what, I like yert better!
@boris: That extra shipping is tripping me up as well, especially since the pay button doesn't work and support isn't replying.
@Boris and Sabina: The shipping that was originally stated in the pledges is usually an estimate of the rates when they started the campaign, and includes the amounts as of that time.

"Miracles" happen everyday, all the time.
Not toast miracles.
Fair enough...

No Precious miracle yet. But! Remember that bus ticket fiasco?? Got the notification today that I am not guilty and dont have to pay anything. Huzzah!
Thanks for holding down the survey fort. I feel bad for not being able to participate as much.
How is Lord Zombitten? Have we heard much from him?
@Creeper: We haven't heard much from about 70-80% of the Corp. Or anyone else(aside from questions about survey, jubilations about having submitted survey, and that's about it). Kind of depressing how the campaign ended, and people just went poof. I miss my kittens. T.T

ANd I understand...i miss the peoples too. I wonder how Professor F is holding up!
Now that is someone I would love to drop in and say hi. Wonder how F is doing....
We will never know. He seems to be in his base with no power.
Or no internet
I want to know where Goldie disappeared to.
I think her and F eloped and just didn't want to tell us.
@Potatten/Creeper/Derp: I think he is also still fuming over EvilU revoking his professor status. But you never know, he could be trying to reconnect his power, which is rather hard to do in the dark...on the moon.
EvilU who the what? I clearly missed something... Blondie and F must be living it up on the dark side of the prawns.
