@Creeper: No bodies we need to deny knowledge of, right?
@BaKhan: I'm only taking a certain amount, and taking my one credit card I have set aside for travel/emergencies that has a much lower limit. One of my friends paid for the hotel, we are each paying for our own flights, and we are splitting(probably going to tell him to put his money away if he tries this) the food.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-18T12:39:28-04:00
Creeper and LZ. Elan mentioned you both specifically last Saturday and thanks you both for your efforts and assistance.
@GM - i might go missing after the fight we had this morning. I'm super cranky pants.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T12:49:22-04:00
Aaw, and here I was feeling warm and fuzzy from PoT's compliment, but you guys got fuzzed up by Elan himself! Oh well, I made my mark on this world after the campaign by accident, but I'm here regardless.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T12:52:23-04:00
Creeper, just remember the secret to happiness: Bottle of wine, at least 2 cats/kittens, dozens of batches of home-made popcorn, and a movie marathon.
Oh wait, that's (minus the wine, obviously) just a good day in general. Crap, where'd I put the one specifically labeled "Happiness"? Ah, here it is! Bacon, cats, and coffee.
man, i wish i had time for a good movie marathon. And i wish all the kitties would actually come inside and cuddle!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T13:31:02-04:00
Man, I wish I had another kitty, but mine keeps scaring them all away. I'll bring a cat that loves people and time for as many movies as you can stand if you take care of the rest! (including flight fees from Omaha to New York City).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T13:55:32-04:00
Should I... take that as a no? Come on, it's only a few hundred bucks! *CoughCoughEachWayCoughCough* . Hey, I know a ton of great movies!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T14:47:14-04:00
You just saw that? Been all over the nerd newses. I didn't know they had a kickstarter for it though! I can't wait, though I know the Japanese will win because they have way better weaponry.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-18T14:48:05-04:00
@Zem, I don't even care who wins the actual battle. Giant robots fighting ftw!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T14:49:30-04:00
Oh, I didn't know it was only melee now; the japanese one was way better before, but that opens up way more possibilities. Can't wait to see how these things turn out! I actually hope very geekily that this becomes a regular thing with national teams!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-18T14:57:13-04:00
@Zem, I don't think its only hand to hand, I just think that was a component that Japan wanted to have. I whole heartedly agree. Hand to hand, and weapons! Whoo hoo! I've been waiting for something like this my whole life!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T14:59:41-04:00
After seeing the American team I think that we have a major advantage given unlimited funding, especially if they can get certain technologies I have in mind into it. However, the Japanese have some of the most advanced robotics research headed by people who grew up with stuff like the Gundam series, which explains why their bots looked like that while ours looked like the one from the famous 80s post-apocalyptic robot movie that I can't find now, but you know what I mean.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T15:00:37-04:00
Well I think they mean melee as in the battle bots sense that they can add weapons, but miniguns like they had before are out, probably mainly because they have a real person inside the robot.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-18T15:12:08-04:00
I was wondering about that. They would need some sort of remote kill switch in case of craziness. I'm thinking that chain sword they're showing could really cut down on the life span of the pilot... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T15:14:52-04:00
I'm pretty sure the waivers usually cover "accidental death", not "targeted by a 120 mm cannon" kind of death. I think they already worked that part out though. I hope.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-18T15:20:04-04:00
I'm kind of wondering how they will be able to keep that much moving mass stable enough not to fall over, taking, or giving a punch. The version they have now is 12000 lbs! Now they're going to add a bigger power source and heavy armour... crazy!
These ones aren't that bad actually....only a little tight where they will stretch a bit. But other than that, they are nice and comfortable.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T16:06:32-04:00
BaKhan, that's where those stabilizers come in, in addition to the new treads and strength. They know what they're doing.
Also, because dress. Someone decided that the better you look, the more you pay, even if it costs more to make some tennis shoes than some dress shoes.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-18T16:19:39-04:00
@GM, I was just joking. My most expensive pair of dress shoes (Christian Audiger) are also the least comfortable... at least they look cool...
@BaKhan: Oh, I know, most dress shoes aren't exactly comfortable. But I can tell these ones will be, for a while at least. And as long as they last me, it was money well spent. More than I wanted to spend, but I needed replacements(my other ones were falling off my feet as I walk).
@Zem: These were probably more expensive than most tennis shoes cost to make.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-18T16:59:08-04:00
I know really good shoes are expensive, fashionable, and extremely comfortable, but they cost a ton, as you found out. I'm sticking with a t-shirt, cargo shorts, and tennis shoes though. I'd like to avoid anything at all fancier and less comfortable than that for as long as possible.
@Zem: We have a business casual dress code here at work, with casual Friday. So nice slacks, a button up shirt, and nice shoes is the standard for the guys here, unless the board of directors is in, or the CEO(who works out of our Houston office most of the time). When they are in, we are supposed to wear more business like clothing(though we get almost no notice).

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T11:53:27-04:00
Ahoy. Bunches O' Work to do today, starting with mowing and not even ending with loading the cars with my stuff because I move back out tomorrow, so I may not be on for awhile today. I think it's too early to go back; my brother just started high school yesterday and last year we started like the second week of September. Or maybe I'm just cranky about my classes and schedule. Gonna be a tough semester/year. At least my roommate is good with coffee, made sure to check that out with him before going back.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-19T11:58:29-04:00
It'll be okay, Zem
Nadia Hicks 2015-08-19T12:20:02-04:00
I need help! My box shows delivered but I never received it, what can be done? Thanks!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-19T12:22:10-04:00
Nadia,
The following is direct from the EK team:
As always, people can reach out to us via support@explodingkittens.com. The more clear the subject line of the email, the easier it is to resolve the issue quickly.
If the issues are related to SHIPPING/FULFILLMENT (wrong address, wrong/incomplete order, wrong packing slip, etc.) backers can get more immediate help by reaching out to our fulfillment help team directly: explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-19T12:44:58-04:00
Actually LZ and Nadia, I think the better route to take here would be to contact the delivery service (USPS in the United States) and see if they can help first. Since it has been marked as "Delivered" you should start with whoever delivered it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-19T13:03:08-04:00
Good point, PoT
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:00:40-04:00
Harrumph!
Lunch time! Finished mowing our whole huge-$@@ yard and started baking a pizza. Not just any pizza though, Diablo pizza, with chorizo, jalapenos, and sriracha tomato sauce! This is gonna suck so good!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:03:27-04:00
LZ, I'm not sure it'll be so ok because this whole year is the infamous O-chem! Lookin' forward to that. :P
::::[ <==== spider smile!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-19T14:10:00-04:00
I thought bio chem was worse than o chem
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:28:44-04:00
O-chem is infamous. I guess it depends on what you're good at, and I think I'll be ok with organic, but it's well known to be a hellhole of a class. Wow, apparently hellhole is a word on this word processing program! Anyways, what more specifically is it that you do again?
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T14:33:04-04:00
@LZ,
I must've missed that one then.
In any event......
I forgot what I was going to say....
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T14:36:45-04:00
But it was most likely something good... and funny.....
On another Note: Zem! YOU! You my friend are the foundational rock of these comments! Well Done! (for those not in the loop, go back a few hundred pages worth of comments. ZEM! is everywhere. and helpfull 99% of the time as well. Not to mention insightful, brilliant, dashing, handsome and a wonderful Mattressy Being!)
Wow its a feel good day! Well just so all the other equally awesome members don't feel left out, three cheers for the KC! This board would never have had half the presence without all of you! Those stand out members that have been publicly honoured would most likely have only posted a couple of times and been out. It took the whole corps to make that happen. When one of us is recognized in name, we all are in spirit!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T14:45:41-04:00
Yes GM, but I leave that one "as an exercise for the reader"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:47:24-04:00
TeP, you forgot supportive and springy. In fact, you can set a wine glass at my feet and jump on my head and all that will happen is I will scream and get seriously injured!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T14:47:28-04:00
and a last one for Creeper: (how to bathe kittens)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:50:09-04:00
Also, has anyone seen Derp? This was the most recent comment on his profile:
Wow I haven't seen these many people since... Well since the campaign was still running.
Jul 31 2015 on Exploding Kittens
1) I missed that one, and B) I miss when he and I dominated the comments like those lions who walked around their cage in that really old cartoon repeating "Bread and butter".
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:51:08-04:00
You spend way too much time there, TeP, and I thank you for all of those you post!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T14:54:27-04:00
As ZZ top almost said, "You didn't have to thank me, but you did, but you did... and I thank you." which is pretty much what the comments have been like for intervals of the last day. Kinda fun, really.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:00:08-04:00
I haven't spent nearly us much time as others.
I usually pop in during the graveyard shift (daytime my side) so my comments seems to stand out a bit more. Check CB's Top 20 board, I'm somewhere down in the high 20's.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:01:16-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:02:54-04:00
And I worked my way up to just under 900 away from LZ, only for him to be able to be here all day every day during the delivery fiasco and I could only cameo, so now look how far I am! He put be back to like 1500 away from him for awhile. Now it's my turn! I play a slower, more patient game!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-19T15:11:13-04:00
Okay, it looks like I need to STFU.
I'm number 9 on a list I never had any intention of making.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:17:40-04:00
No, you're 10, PoT. CB is 9, but he doesn't comment, so in like 10 more comments you'll pass him.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:21:43-04:00
I think I need to go and have a look at that data file again.
I see graphing and possibly mapping potential.
Nice to know i've jumped a few spots.
@TeP: I know we had a map being worked on a while ago for the general(usually just the city) location of backers...can't remember how far it got.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:30:39-04:00
GM, the map was a google one I created. It is still on the todo list to hack it into Java so that you can center the icons on the anchor points, instead of the middle of the image. Plus I have to put Prof F on the moon still. There is a way apparrently, I just need to finish it in the off season after the campaign is over.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:31:54-04:00
It did pretty well, GM. The map turned out well, and I think you get to it through the corps page, right? I haven't been there in awhile.
TeP, need to call up CB and Calculus again? Just like old times.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:31:54-04:00
And some backers are still assigned to island locations because we couldn't find good address zones for them. Hopefully that can be fixed as well.
Working on timeframe for comment thread.... post results soon.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:32:45-04:00
TeP, the campaign is over. It's been over for some time now. You should get on that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:34:34-04:00
Hey, mine needs to be moved! I'm not in that part of lincoln, I'm in the one specifically titled "University of Nebraska Lincoln". Neihardt on 16th street to be specific. Well, after tomorrow I will be again.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:35:09-04:00
Ok, so the comments have been going for (from the first comment on the first day):
211 DAYS
7 HOURS
4 MINUTES and counting
with over 92 945 posts!
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:40:24-04:00
Zem, the campaign is over once all Kittens have been delivered. All backers deserve their kittens, whether they actively commented (in whatever fashion) or not.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:41:26-04:00
We'll have to plan out an anniversary party on the 365th day and 0 hours of the project's launch and first comment. Like, each of us in our own houses has a little personal celebration, pat on the back, maybe a drink and some popcorn or something...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:42:37-04:00
The "campaign" itself is over. The project is still on because some people didn't receive theirs. I wonder if there'll be an update saying when the very last person finally got theirs.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:43:33-04:00
The comments average is a smidge over 7 comments a minute.
This includes the hectic days in the beginning where we were doing about 20-50 comments in one page refresh, as well as the quiet periods between updates and shipping.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-08-19T15:47:18-04:00

sorry, it was Chameleon's third comment, not the third comment in total.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:50:56-04:00
Biochem is biggest in the medical science area, LZ. I'd think you'd at least have to know some of that, though O-chem plays at least as big a part in the medical field as biology.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-19T15:52:13-04:00
TeP, I've gone back and looked at the 'ol kicktraq page sometimes. Though I wish we could've had one keep going and following us. And I bet 3 of those 7 comments per second are mine!
@Creeper, good morning m'lady!
@BaKhan: No, I haven't and neither have either of my friends who are going as well.
@Creeper: HI CREEPER! Long time no see.
Good morning Creeper! Sorry I missed you last night.
Hello All! Sorry - just got in a fight with a landlord, hence the quick disappearance.
Showing your landlord who's in charge is more important that this, we understand.
@GM, two things. Be smart! Watch your money and credit cards, like a hawk! Second thing, have fun!
@Creeper: No bodies we need to deny knowledge of, right?
@BaKhan: I'm only taking a certain amount, and taking my one credit card I have set aside for travel/emergencies that has a much lower limit. One of my friends paid for the hotel, we are each paying for our own flights, and we are splitting(probably going to tell him to put his money away if he tries this) the food.
Creeper and LZ. Elan mentioned you both specifically last Saturday and thanks you both for your efforts and assistance.
awh, that's very sweet of them. Thank you for sharing that.

Why are good quality dress shoes so damned expensive?
@GM, cause it costs money to feel so damn uncomfortable! You think that level of discomfort comes for free? ;)
These ones aren't that bad actually....only a little tight where they will stretch a bit. But other than that, they are nice and comfortable.
BaKhan, that's where those stabilizers come in, in addition to the new treads and strength. They know what they're doing.

I was too busy to come here yesterday, so I just saw that PoT said that Elan specifically mentioned Creeper and me. That's so cool!
Definitely jealous...one day I will get recognized.
That's right, GM. Just be positive. Good things will come
Well...I get recognized at work almost all the time(even by the CEO, he comes by and chats when he's in town...I actually pay him though xD), so it definitely is a matter of time before I am here(KittenCon is probably where it will happen).

LZ, I'm not sure it'll be so ok because this whole year is the infamous O-chem! Lookin' forward to that. :P
::::[ <==== spider smile!
I thought bio chem was worse than o chem
O-chem is infamous. I guess it depends on what you're good at, and I think I'll be ok with organic, but it's well known to be a hellhole of a class. Wow, apparently hellhole is a word on this word processing program! Anyways, what more specifically is it that you do again?
@LZ,
I must've missed that one then.
In any event......
I forgot what I was going to say....
But it was most likely something good... and funny.....
On another Note: Zem! YOU! You my friend are the foundational rock of these comments! Well Done! (for those not in the loop, go back a few hundred pages worth of comments. ZEM! is everywhere. and helpfull 99% of the time as well. Not to mention insightful, brilliant, dashing, handsome and a wonderful Mattressy Being!)
@TeP: You forgot sometimes hilarious when using his sarcasm.
also, for Creeper:

Wow its a feel good day! Well just so all the other equally awesome members don't feel left out, three cheers for the KC! This board would never have had half the presence without all of you! Those stand out members that have been publicly honoured would most likely have only posted a couple of times and been out. It took the whole corps to make that happen. When one of us is recognized in name, we all are in spirit!
Yes GM, but I leave that one "as an exercise for the reader"
TeP, you forgot supportive and springy. In fact, you can set a wine glass at my feet and jump on my head and all that will happen is I will scream and get seriously injured!
and a last one for Creeper: (how to bathe kittens)

Also, has anyone seen Derp? This was the most recent comment on his profile:
Wow I haven't seen these many people since... Well since the campaign was still running.

1) I missed that one, and B) I miss when he and I dominated the comments like those lions who walked around their cage in that really old cartoon repeating "Bread and butter".
You spend way too much time there, TeP, and I thank you for all of those you post!
As ZZ top almost said, "You didn't have to thank me, but you did, but you did... and I thank you." which is pretty much what the comments have been like for intervals of the last day. Kinda fun, really.
I haven't spent nearly us much time as others.
I usually pop in during the graveyard shift (daytime my side) so my comments seems to stand out a bit more. Check CB's Top 20 board, I'm somewhere down in the high 20's.
You're #22. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23263053/EK/topcommenters.html
surprised I still have that? ;)
And I worked my way up to just under 900 away from LZ, only for him to be able to be here all day every day during the delivery fiasco and I could only cameo, so now look how far I am! He put be back to like 1500 away from him for awhile. Now it's my turn! I play a slower, more patient game!
Okay, it looks like I need to STFU.
I'm number 9 on a list I never had any intention of making.
No, you're 10, PoT. CB is 9, but he doesn't comment, so in like 10 more comments you'll pass him.
I think I need to go and have a look at that data file again.
I see graphing and possibly mapping potential.
Nice to know i've jumped a few spots.
@TeP: I know we had a map being worked on a while ago for the general(usually just the city) location of backers...can't remember how far it got.
GM, the map was a google one I created. It is still on the todo list to hack it into Java so that you can center the icons on the anchor points, instead of the middle of the image. Plus I have to put Prof F on the moon still. There is a way apparrently, I just need to finish it in the off season after the campaign is over.

It did pretty well, GM. The map turned out well, and I think you get to it through the corps page, right? I haven't been there in awhile.
TeP, need to call up CB and Calculus again? Just like old times.
And some backers are still assigned to island locations because we couldn't find good address zones for them. Hopefully that can be fixed as well.
Working on timeframe for comment thread.... post results soon.
TeP, the campaign is over. It's been over for some time now. You should get on that.
Hey, mine needs to be moved! I'm not in that part of lincoln, I'm in the one specifically titled "University of Nebraska Lincoln". Neihardt on 16th street to be specific. Well, after tomorrow I will be again.
Ok, so the comments have been going for (from the first comment on the first day):
211 DAYS
7 HOURS
4 MINUTES and counting
with over 92 945 posts!
Zem, the campaign is over once all Kittens have been delivered. All backers deserve their kittens, whether they actively commented (in whatever fashion) or not.
We'll have to plan out an anniversary party on the 365th day and 0 hours of the project's launch and first comment. Like, each of us in our own houses has a little personal celebration, pat on the back, maybe a drink and some popcorn or something...
The "campaign" itself is over. The project is still on because some people didn't receive theirs. I wonder if there'll be an update saying when the very last person finally got theirs.
The comments average is a smidge over 7 comments a minute.
This includes the hectic days in the beginning where we were doing about 20-50 comments in one page refresh, as well as the quiet periods between updates and shipping.

This was my first Kickstarter pledge. Not even reading Rainbow got money from me, you majestic bastards.
and the third comment by Chameleon:

Ooh, yes, adding more players would be great. Moar please!
Zem, I do medical laboratory science
And just for some nostalgia:

sorry, it was Chameleon's third comment, not the third comment in total.
Biochem is biggest in the medical science area, LZ. I'd think you'd at least have to know some of that, though O-chem plays at least as big a part in the medical field as biology.
TeP, I've gone back and looked at the 'ol kicktraq page sometimes. Though I wish we could've had one keep going and following us. And I bet 3 of those 7 comments per second are mine!
