Hiya TEP! Long time. GM good to see you also.
Keri Bogardus 2015-08-11T14:05:14-04:00
Hi, I have repeatedly emailed you about not receiving my exploding kittens game. The only way I could find to contact you was to respond to emails I'd gotten from you, but I'm not sure if you check those. Please help!!!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-11T14:10:38-04:00
Good to be back for a change. Although I might need to go to bed soon.
Good News! The Jungle Gym has been assembled. Will get some pics onto the forum in the week.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T14:15:42-04:00
Hi again, TeP! Don't worry, no risk of spoilers anymore. It's safe to come back.
Oh, GM, I thought you meant one of the people famous for those incidents, not something from where you're from. That's more like how it's illegal to hunt whales in Nebraska. Seriously. It is. So don't you dare transport a whale all the way, more than 1,000 miles, to Nebraska hoping to get out of protection laws, we'll still hang your ass. Or whatever the penalty is, I forget.

Hey guys!
Over the past week we've shipped out hundreds of thousands of boxes. There's even more on the way, but with quantity like that comes issues that we need to get fixed so we're still working as hard as we can to help you!
If you're one of the people who is having a problem with your order, please write us at support@explodingkittens.com so we can take care of you.
Help us help you get your Exploding Kittens ASAP!
(Then I'm going to treat myself to a nap)

In other words, as long as you have emailed them, they are fixing your issue. Lots of emails are just slowing you getting your kittens down. Just sit back, relax, and wait for your box of goodness to arrive.

@GM, we're going to need a bigger boat! Wasn't that from a few years ago? Also for anyone else who doesn't know why its funny, the only rivers in Calgary are from glacial melt off (damn cold out of the tap, even in summer) , so unless there are some freshly thawed sharks out there, pretty sure we're shark free in Calgary... ;)
@LZ: Only when they don't get back to me with the information to pay the guys that earn the money that is used to pay them.
@BaKhan: I should go to the zoo sometime...eventually....maybe when I get a girlfriend.

LZ, what forum? You do realize I've been the most present both here and the forum? I see both every day-ish, and it turns red for a new comment anywhere in the forum... is there a new forum I should know about? Do you still need the blood of our enemies for a password?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T18:06:17-04:00
That's why I said it's a hidden thread. You have to bathe in the blood of a thousand virgin kittens before you can see the thread
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T18:36:08-04:00
Isn't that a requirement for the passwords? I'm pretty sure I would've seen it. Besides, how do you know on the forum when I won't be on here? That's the really confusing part. I've been on sometimes for hours straight with little or no company and then go somewhere for one or two and come back to pages of back-log.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T18:49:27-04:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T18:51:54-04:00
Well that's no fair. I had to search out the thousand virgin kittens. You could just summon some dead ones and see if they died recently enough to have blood still. Probably just stole some of all of our kills, too.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T18:59:32-04:00

ok, how about now?
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-11T19:13:51-04:00
I am about to deliver four full sets of Kittens to a game master who runs an open game night in the banquet room of a very large concert venue/bar. I don't want to let them go. I want them all for myself.
curious on everyone else's thoughts on the mass amounts of sets for sale on ebay
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-11T19:29:11-04:00
Huh. I think there are a lot of greedy a$$holes on eBay. I think a lot of them are going to be disappointed in how much money they get too.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-11T19:31:18-04:00
Alright I'm off to deliver Kittens to a very excited 40 something year old man. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T19:49:51-04:00
This would be the perfect time for someone known as "creeper" to come in. But she's not a 40 year old man receiving kittens. Also, nope, didn't work.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-11T20:16:28-04:00
Stupid ebayers. Sellers for trying to make a quick buck. Also the buyers for just throwing money at them
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T20:25:03-04:00
I say we start up that selling mountain air thing again. It was pretty successful.,
"there's a sucker born every minute." -not P.T. Barnum, but it was said.
I finally can...just finished sending out the last of the emails for approval...with a high importance, and if they don't get back to me before 10am tomorrow, I will get their site admins to hunt them down for me. Need them approvals to keep the guys who earn the money to pay them to approve things happy.

Hey, Alex.

T.T
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-11T22:40:14-04:00
Just back from "game night" at the local gamer hang out. Someone brought in his personal copy of EK to play. He had put both the Std. and NSFW decks together for play with five people. It took a while, but it worked and it was fun!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T23:07:21-04:00
3 games of EK is definitely less taxing than 3 games of bowling. I use a 15 lb ball. Ow.
Got an empty box today from Blackbox. :( I emailed them, is there anything else I should do? I'm even more anxious than I was when it shipped.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-11T23:49:23-04:00
@Rogue, I would feel the same way! If you emailed them then they will get on it. It may take a while, but they will, try not to worry. :) Good luck!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T23:52:10-04:00

Damn autocorrect!!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-11T23:53:38-04:00
Seriously! When the nuts have I ever typed Nikki on this phone? Never! (before now, anyway)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T23:57:07-04:00
Hi, Creeper! I mentioned earlier you should come on! It would've been funnier there, but hi nonetheless!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-11T23:57:21-04:00
Well, everyone, pulling another all-nighter just for fun, but this time I'll be on here hopefully until morning even if nobody else is. Riddle "Hour", anyone?! Just watching Titansgrave now, but I'll be doing online cards against humanity, Battle for Middle Earth, maybe some Omegle chats to mess with people and make a new friend, and ending it all early in the morning for a donut run with my brother to the place with literally the best donuts I've ever had in my wide and varied experience. Anyone want to stay up and accompany me on this adventure? I'm thinking a group Cards Against Humanity game! We should do it!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-12T00:27:52-04:00
@Zem, I would love to. But..... I just finished a 3 hour chunk of Diablo 3 followed by some MST3K Space Mutiny. Time for bed. Goodnight all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T00:28:40-04:00
Space Mutiny is one of my favorite MST3Ks!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T00:30:09-04:00
Though Overdrawn at the Memory Bank would give it a run for its money. As well as the one about the witches I forget the title of. And at least one more I can think of but not enough to describe.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-12T00:37:56-04:00
I would also enjoy that, Zem, but I have to go to work in the morning
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T00:44:56-04:00
Work is for pussies. And it's tomorrow whereas fun awaits tonight! You don't need sleep to go to work! Just nap over your lunch break or something. ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-12T01:30:33-04:00
Perhaps, but I'm in training for my new job. It's kind of important that I show up well rested and alert
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T01:41:19-04:00
nah, they'll understand. Plenty of coffee to help keep you awake! And the best donuts and mediocre coffee await those who withstand the heat of this dang room, jeez, I need a fan!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T01:41:57-04:00
On another note, come join my CAH game at pretendyoure.xyz ! The first server.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T01:42:46-04:00

Tim Rowe 2015-08-12T01:50:56-04:00
Hi guys,
I've tried posting here, I've also tried emailing support@explodingkittens.com - in both cases, no response whatsoever.
I've received no surveys, no updates via email after Update #21 (19/04), no shipping confirmation, and also haven't received any product yet.
Since email has fallen on dead ears, what can I do?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-12T01:54:37-04:00
Zem, I'm beinh promoted to laboratory manager at the clinic where I work
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-12T01:56:45-04:00
Tim, when did you email support? It has taken several people here ten or more days to get a response because of the crazy large number of emails the EK team is getting.
Tim Rowe 2015-08-12T02:05:06-04:00
A week ago; 5/08.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T02:16:24-04:00
Oh wow, congratulations, LZ!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T02:16:51-04:00
Yeah, Tim, 3 support people to handle tens of thousands of emails. Please be patient.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T02:17:29-04:00
LZ, my CAH game on pretendyoure.xyz is still open. Come join! You know you want to!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T02:39:58-04:00
well, my brother quit out on the allnighter, but I'm still here El Guapo!
Tim Rowe 2015-08-12T02:53:30-04:00
If it's going to take a week, I'd be happy with an autoreply! I don't mind waiting, but knowing it hasn't just been piped to /dev/null would be nice.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T03:08:24-04:00
that's a good idea, but it'd also be tough for them. Maybe they should have a "Hold on to your high horses' hats" would be nice just to warn of the wait.
MadJo 2015-08-12T04:00:06-04:00
But what if I had already sent an email to the support email address a week ago, and haven't received a word in reply yet?
Also, why didn't Elan post it as an Update instead of a comment here, which is so fast moving that people are bound to miss it? (In fact, if I hadn't scrolled back and seen Eric Baumgarten's comment near the bottom of the page, I'd never have known)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T04:56:50-04:00
They did say that in the updates, Jo. And just be patient; a good 98% estimated success rate still means possibly up to 5,000 people who didn't get theirs, and only 3 people working through their 10 emails a day asking why their other 10 emails weren't answered. It's an uphill both ways battle.
Elegia 2015-08-12T05:05:18-04:00
I still don't have my kittens. Have I failed to do something? I'm sure I answered all the questions I was asked. Please tell me what's missing. Looking forward to massive explosions!
Thomas Winnerl 2015-08-12T05:05:25-04:00
i was on vacation and my package was returned to the sender, im pretty sure it was this package.
could you send it to me again?
Nick Davey 2015-08-12T05:58:07-04:00
I came back from vacation to find my kittens waiting for me on my desk as work. I have to say that they are fantastic and I love them. Can't wait to play with them.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T06:25:18-04:00
elegia and thomas, contact explodingkittens@support.blackbox . And allow for like 10 days for an answer; they have tens of thousands of comments and 3 people to go through them all.
Also, don't keep emailing them why you haven't gotten a response email. That just makes it worse. If you don't get a response in like 2 weeks, then panic.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-12T07:08:10-04:00
Mission accomplished: Night conquered with nothing more than a pot and a half of coffee, at least one large theater cup of water, 3 wintergreen lifesavers, a small handfull of m&ms, and a bag of popcorn since about 12 hours ago. Now for coffee and donuts!
I was hoping to finish the second pot of coffee and then have more at the donut shop, but I think due to lack of actual food, I couldn't handle much more coffee without feeling sick. Now today I'm going to want to play strategic games like Battle for Middle Earth, but am going to be dead from tonight. Oh well, that's what it was like when we got the game to work, it's only alot harder now.

Isn't that a requirement for the passwords? I'm pretty sure I would've seen it. Besides, how do you know on the forum when I won't be on here? That's the really confusing part. I've been on sometimes for hours straight with little or no company and then go somewhere for one or two and come back to pages of back-log.
It's all magic, dude. Remember: I'm a necromancer
Well that's no fair. I had to search out the thousand virgin kittens. You could just summon some dead ones and see if they died recently enough to have blood still. Probably just stole some of all of our kills, too.
That's right! Mwaaahaaahaaahahahahaha!
Zem. If you're looking for fair you picked the wrong plane of existence.
shit, lemme try again.
...
ok, how about now?
I am about to deliver four full sets of Kittens to a game master who runs an open game night in the banquet room of a very large concert venue/bar. I don't want to let them go. I want them all for myself.
Do you see the thread Zem? If not it didn't work.
curious on everyone else's thoughts on the mass amounts of sets for sale on ebay
Huh. I think there are a lot of greedy a$$holes on eBay. I think a lot of them are going to be disappointed in how much money they get too.
Alright I'm off to deliver Kittens to a very excited 40 something year old man. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
This would be the perfect time for someone known as "creeper" to come in. But she's not a 40 year old man receiving kittens. Also, nope, didn't work.
Stupid ebayers. Sellers for trying to make a quick buck. Also the buyers for just throwing money at them
I say we start up that selling mountain air thing again. It was pretty successful.,
"there's a sucker born every minute." -not P.T. Barnum, but it was said.
Can I go home yet? T.T
@GM, go home already!
I finally can...just finished sending out the last of the emails for approval...with a high importance, and if they don't get back to me before 10am tomorrow, I will get their site admins to hunt them down for me. Need them approvals to keep the guys who earn the money to pay them to approve things happy.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Received in Jamaica (I shipped to Miami and used a courier)! Can't wait to play! My friends are so psyched :D.
Way to go Romar
GM, I never said you could! Get back there now!
I got a reply from Blackbox about international shipping (i'm from malaysia)
Hey, Alex.
We don't have tracking for international orders. Sorry! If you don't see your package by the end of the month, let us know and we'll get you sorted ASAP.
T.T
Just back from "game night" at the local gamer hang out. Someone brought in his personal copy of EK to play. He had put both the Std. and NSFW decks together for play with five people. It took a while, but it worked and it was fun!
3 games of EK is definitely less taxing than 3 games of bowling. I use a 15 lb ball. Ow.
Hiiii kittens!
Got an empty box today from Blackbox. :( I emailed them, is there anything else I should do? I'm even more anxious than I was when it shipped.
@Rogue, I would feel the same way! If you emailed them then they will get on it. It may take a while, but they will, try not to worry. :) Good luck!
Nikki Creeper!
Damn autocorrect!!
Seriously! When the nuts have I ever typed Nikki on this phone? Never! (before now, anyway)
Hi, Creeper! I mentioned earlier you should come on! It would've been funnier there, but hi nonetheless!
Well, everyone, pulling another all-nighter just for fun, but this time I'll be on here hopefully until morning even if nobody else is. Riddle "Hour", anyone?! Just watching Titansgrave now, but I'll be doing online cards against humanity, Battle for Middle Earth, maybe some Omegle chats to mess with people and make a new friend, and ending it all early in the morning for a donut run with my brother to the place with literally the best donuts I've ever had in my wide and varied experience. Anyone want to stay up and accompany me on this adventure? I'm thinking a group Cards Against Humanity game! We should do it!
@Zem, I would love to. But..... I just finished a 3 hour chunk of Diablo 3 followed by some MST3K Space Mutiny. Time for bed. Goodnight all.
Space Mutiny is one of my favorite MST3Ks!
Though Overdrawn at the Memory Bank would give it a run for its money. As well as the one about the witches I forget the title of. And at least one more I can think of but not enough to describe.
I would also enjoy that, Zem, but I have to go to work in the morning
Work is for pussies. And it's tomorrow whereas fun awaits tonight! You don't need sleep to go to work! Just nap over your lunch break or something. ;)
Perhaps, but I'm in training for my new job. It's kind of important that I show up well rested and alert
nah, they'll understand. Plenty of coffee to help keep you awake! And the best donuts and mediocre coffee await those who withstand the heat of this dang room, jeez, I need a fan!
On another note, come join my CAH game at pretendyoure.xyz ! The first server.
Wait, new job? What's that?
Hi guys,
I've tried posting here, I've also tried emailing support@explodingkittens.com - in both cases, no response whatsoever.
I've received no surveys, no updates via email after Update #21 (19/04), no shipping confirmation, and also haven't received any product yet.
Since email has fallen on dead ears, what can I do?
Zem, I'm beinh promoted to laboratory manager at the clinic where I work
Tim, when did you email support? It has taken several people here ten or more days to get a response because of the crazy large number of emails the EK team is getting.
A week ago; 5/08.
Oh wow, congratulations, LZ!
Yeah, Tim, 3 support people to handle tens of thousands of emails. Please be patient.
LZ, my CAH game on pretendyoure.xyz is still open. Come join! You know you want to!
well, my brother quit out on the allnighter, but I'm still here El Guapo!
If it's going to take a week, I'd be happy with an autoreply! I don't mind waiting, but knowing it hasn't just been piped to /dev/null would be nice.
that's a good idea, but it'd also be tough for them. Maybe they should have a "Hold on to your high horses' hats" would be nice just to warn of the wait.
But what if I had already sent an email to the support email address a week ago, and haven't received a word in reply yet?
Also, why didn't Elan post it as an Update instead of a comment here, which is so fast moving that people are bound to miss it? (In fact, if I hadn't scrolled back and seen Eric Baumgarten's comment near the bottom of the page, I'd never have known)
They did say that in the updates, Jo. And just be patient; a good 98% estimated success rate still means possibly up to 5,000 people who didn't get theirs, and only 3 people working through their 10 emails a day asking why their other 10 emails weren't answered. It's an uphill both ways battle.
I still don't have my kittens. Have I failed to do something? I'm sure I answered all the questions I was asked. Please tell me what's missing. Looking forward to massive explosions!
i was on vacation and my package was returned to the sender, im pretty sure it was this package.
could you send it to me again?
I came back from vacation to find my kittens waiting for me on my desk as work. I have to say that they are fantastic and I love them. Can't wait to play with them.
elegia and thomas, contact explodingkittens@support.blackbox . And allow for like 10 days for an answer; they have tens of thousands of comments and 3 people to go through them all.
Also, don't keep emailing them why you haven't gotten a response email. That just makes it worse. If you don't get a response in like 2 weeks, then panic.
Mission accomplished: Night conquered with nothing more than a pot and a half of coffee, at least one large theater cup of water, 3 wintergreen lifesavers, a small handfull of m&ms, and a bag of popcorn since about 12 hours ago. Now for coffee and donuts!
I was hoping to finish the second pot of coffee and then have more at the donut shop, but I think due to lack of actual food, I couldn't handle much more coffee without feeling sick. Now today I'm going to want to play strategic games like Battle for Middle Earth, but am going to be dead from tonight. Oh well, that's what it was like when we got the game to work, it's only alot harder now.

G' Morning Kittens.
Feels like just 12 hours ago I left the office....and now I'm back. Even though it has been just under 13 hours since I left.
Also, good morning kittens.
