Are banking fees seriously so outrageous in the states that a lot of people refuse to get a bank account?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T17:38:05-04:00
... no? I don't know many people with any money at all who avoid banks. Well, one of the richest people I know doesn't trust them and keeps his money as gold in a vault, which I think is more risky than any bank, but he's the exception. He's also one of the richest people in switzerland, so I think he's entitled to some eccentricities if that's all it is, or distrust, which makes more sense.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T18:39:09-04:00
I use a credit union to scoor banking fees. I was once dropping the money bag off at the bank my employer used when I heard the person next to me getting the run-down on why a Snickers bar cost more than $50
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T18:39:33-04:00
Avoid bank fees. Damn autocorrect!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T18:48:11-04:00
Scoor is a good word. Now to scoor means to shirk or avoid.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T18:48:30-04:00
Not to be confused with scour or score.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:20:33-04:00
And now I wait...
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:37:58-04:00
hello again everyone. It seems to be a pretty quiet day all around. That's good. I've been running like mad for the last five hours.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:41:28-04:00
Hi, PoT! I'm sitting here, waiting for the concert to start
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:41:50-04:00
@GM. I don't know anyone who works that doesn't have at least a checking account somewhere. It might be at a credit union, but they all have one. Some of my in-laws have never had two nickels more than the absolute least they could get by on, so they've never had any other kind of account. Why?
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:42:37-04:00
Who's playing?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:44:18-04:00
Motionless in White (never heard of them), Bullet for My Valentine, Lamb of God, and Slipknot
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:46:41-04:00
Okay. I'm old.
I think I've heard of Slipknot, maybe not.... I dunno.
I'm gonna go brush my dentures and go to bed now..... Cripes I'm out of it
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:47:34-04:00
Slipknot and Lamb of God have been around for a while. The other two are newer
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:47:35-04:00
Did any of them play at that Lollypop Loser concert in Chicago?
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:48:15-04:00
I think Bullet has been around for about 10 years
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:48:54-04:00
No idea. I don't pay much attention to concerts outside of my area
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:49:39-04:00
Well. You kids have fun with your rocking and your rolling. Try not to hurt yourselves. Stretch first before you pull something you'll need later.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:50:58-04:00
Ok, will do
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-21T19:53:52-04:00
Whoa! Just went to Slipknots official website. That is not what I think of when I think Utah and music.
What a lovely bunch of young men.....
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T19:55:43-04:00
Salt Lake is actually a big rock city.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T19:57:02-04:00
Whoa, suddenly there's stuff? Slipknot has some pretty good songs, I kinda like them.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T20:00:39-04:00
Hot damn! It's starting an hour early!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T20:06:37-04:00
A concert? That's never happened! In all of history!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-21T20:09:07-04:00
Yeah! It was supposed to start at 7
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-21T20:30:45-04:00
Well enjoy the concert! Sounds amazing.

Yeah. I just mowed the lawn. That's how bored I am
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-22T17:13:15-04:00
Eugh, I feel sorry for you. Well, I think it's about time to visit home. I've been gone for a whole day, I don't know what they do without me!
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-22T17:16:40-04:00
Nothing. Without you, their lives are so incomplete, they curl into balls of uselessness until you return

Hey, anybody at the EK team actually replying to problem emails? I sent mine 17 days ago and no response. Still on EK here in London, UK :-(
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-22T19:00:52-04:00
Hi Jonathan Baddeley.
Do you know what address you sent it to? If it wasn't support@explodingkittens.com they probably have not and will not get it for some time. If you did send it to the support address then they will get to it as soon as they can work their way to it. There are three people answering emails, they about 1000 per day, it takes between 10 and 30 minutes to reolve each persons issue. I'm sure you can do the math.
If you haven't gotten your shipping email... They are still shipping so that could be why.
If your package was delivered but you haven't seen it you should start a trace with the delivering agency (USPS in the United States)
If there is some other issue, email the support address and try to be patient, they are up to their backsides in email.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-22T19:00:57-04:00
Jonathan, a long wait is typical, usually 10-15 days, but about this long by now, I'd send another one. Something might've happened to it or you didn't send it to the right address by accident. explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool for delivery issues or otherwise support@explodingkittens.com . Thanks for being patient at least!
Jonathan Baddeley 2015-08-22T19:05:14-04:00
Thanks for the reply guys. I originally sent to explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool but have now also tried the other address. I never even received a dispatch email so I don't know if it was even ever sent. I'll leave it be for now and see what transpires. Cheers for taking the time to let me know the situation.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-22T19:10:10-04:00

I'm cooking dinner. Not much going on here. Just a relaxing Saturday evening.

Eisabess Chee 2015-08-23T09:17:57-04:00
[QUESTION FOR ALL WHO HAVE PLAYED]
Hello fellow backers, I have something to clarify regarding the following scenario. Given that Player X plays an attack card for whatever reason, and Player Y complies and draws the next two cards from the deck, then what happens when:
(a) The first drawn card is an exploding kitten?
(b) The second drawn card is an exploding kitten?
This question has surfaced amongst my friends and me because it is explicitly written on the defuse card that the last drawn card must be returned to the deck, but we have differing views on what that constitutes.
Thanks guys in advance!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-23T10:31:58-04:00
Eiabess:
a) If the player has a defuse, they put the kitten back in the deck, ending that turn. Then they draw again for the second turn of the attack card. If they don't have a defuse, they explode and are out and the second turn is moot.
b) Same. The rules for kittens are always as stated above. It's the end of your turn, you draw a card, and it happens to be a kitten. If you have a defuse, put the kitten back in the deck and discard your spent defuse. If you don't, you're out of the game.
"last drawn card" means the card you just drew from the deck, not after 2 turns. Each turn with an attack is separate and treated as if it were just one normal turn, so if you draw it on the first one, you don't discard the next one drawn, you deal with the kitten as per usual methods.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-23T11:40:49-04:00
@Eisabess
Zem is correct (nicely explained Zem). However you can institute any house rules you like (the creative team encourages house rules). For instance, in my house if you pull a exploding kitten and diffuse you take a shot. If you explode you chug a beer (or take two shots).
Joe 2015-08-23T16:50:36-04:00
Such a shame I bought seven games to give as gifts. I had no idea they would package them like they did a plain box or envelope would of been fine now everyone knows what came in the mail. Surprise shot to hell
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-23T18:10:59-04:00
That's too bad, but I think the boxes are worth it.
Wow, nothing all day. I didn't miss anything by going to help move a couch here and there being no possible way to get it out of their basement, so we went to get ice-cream.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-23T19:30:48-04:00
The latest update seems to have quelled the questioning somewhat, Zem. I think we may be past the worst of it. Of course at some point this round of shipping will conclude and there will be thousands of people out there who don't get their packages. Then there will be another rush of discontent (probably from the 1000 or so who didn't return a survey. [Yes, I was told there were about a thousand backers who never sent in a survey, or attempted contact in any way]). So keep an eye out. I wonder if everything will get sorted out before the weather turns?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-23T20:52:08-04:00
Those are the kind of people who won't call in for support either, and almost certainly won't check on here. I used to be kind of like that, but more like I would've been in the last wave of people. I like not having all the questions to answer, but the silence is deafening.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-23T21:36:47-04:00
Speaking of surveys. I was getting nervous about the lack of a pledge manager from another campaign I backed. I checked the comments. It hasn't been sent yet, so we're still good.

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-23T22:41:10-04:00
I'll take some snow. A bit early in the year, but I love a good snow!
Tim Rowe 2015-08-24T00:23:25-04:00
Sigh. Still no response from support via email, no replies to messages here after three weeks, this is utter BS :(
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-24T00:53:25-04:00
Tim, we've likely responded, even though we're just enthusiasts, not paid workers. What's your problem specifically? Contact explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool for delivery issues, or if it was shipped already but never delivered, contact USPS; the email in the next sentence will reimburse any shipping fees. Contact support@explodingkittens.com for any other issues you may have.
REMEMBER: They only have 3 people answering near 1,000 emails a day, so a 10-14ish day wait is normal. After that, make sure you didn't accidentally get the address wrong and possibly send another email to make sure it got through, but please be patient.

@LZ, you guys got snow? On Friday it was bloody cold for this time of year. I saw chunks of snow falling, but it didn't stick. Keeps kinda bs because it was not a great birthday gift. Way too early for that stuff!

SINGAPORE (24 AUGUST): Received mine! Magnetic box is torn at the bottom though - sigh, rough handling, customs inspection? Who knows. But the surprise was... surprising! Love it. Going to unwrap the cards and play a round or two or three or four with my friends tomorrow.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-24T09:44:15-04:00

Lord Zombitten 2015-08-24T10:14:50-04:00
BaKhan, no. I saw a report that you guys got snow, so I wanted to ask about the report's accuracy. It made it sound like you got a bunch. From your comment, it sounds like the report was overblown.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-24T10:21:06-04:00
@LZ, some areas did get a fair amount of snow accumulation, mostly at the higher elevations. 10+ inches in the mountains. Looks like and early season for the ski / snowboard crowd. Personally, I find snow is way over rated. I am so glad I have remote start for my suv. Did I mention that I hate the cold? It was down to 34F on friday night. Back up to mid 70's today. Typical Calgary weather.
Morning kitties. How is everything this Monday morning?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-24T10:42:11-04:00
@GM, much warmer today thanks!

Lord Zombitten 2015-08-24T10:55:47-04:00
I also think snow is overrated. They're predicting little snow here this winter. As long as we get enough in the mountains, I'm okay with that
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-24T10:57:43-04:00
@Collar Stay, crazy! I can't find the normal edition, but the NSFW is there! Must be people selling off their personal copies? I was under the impression that the NSFW was ks exclusive?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-24T11:10:34-04:00
Good morning all!
Sorry, BaKhan, my phone has a habit of dragging others into its drunkenness.
Snow, huh. It's been cooler here in Wisconsin, but nowhere near THAT. It is the first time I remember wearing hooded sweatshirts in August, though.
Played some more EK friday night. Still haven't won a game, but at least we had some early attacks played, so the game wasn't a draw, go, draw, go,etc...
It does help that one if our regulars is very confrontational in all games. I think that's why he doesn't like Caverna, Stone Age, Alien Frontiers, Nations and most worker placement games. If he can't roll a dice and kill something in a game, he doesn't like it.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-24T11:40:53-04:00
@BaKhan, it is being sold by Exploding Kittens LLC.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-24T11:41:54-04:00
@Trinkets, Good morning sir! I've won over half the games I've played, and for the most part been taking it easy on them, even giving out the attack cards when asked for a favour, just to make it interesting. Played a five player on Friday night, was awesome! Definitely more fun with more people! I find I like to hang back and just draw 'n' go until it starts to heat up, and then I keep the pressure on! My favorite thing to do is, play a see the future card, show a huge wide eye'd tell, then put the cards back down and anxiously look at the next person. Watch 'em squirm! lolz!

Ok, I can spend another few seconds here. To keep it short, that all sounds interesting.
I have about 40 minutes to eat before I go to my physics class, and then I have 10 minutes (hopefully) after that to make it ALL the way across campus for a communications class I'm taking for credit. Probably should go now, bye!

G' Morning troops.
I just looked on Amazon the only EK I saw for sale there is being sold by someone/something called Averia Entertainment and when I looked they only had three copies available. I'm guessing it's a backer who ordered a bunch of copies and is trying to sell them at a huge mark up ($138.95 plus $5.15 shipping?)to make a buck. Although it says Ad Magic in the description AM ain't selling these, I don't see Exploding Kittens, LLC anywhere on there.

Do you know what address you sent it to? If it wasn't support@explodingkittens.com they probably have not and will not get it for some time. If you did send it to the support address then they will get to it as soon as they can work their way to it. There are three people answering emails, they about 1000 per day, it takes between 10 and 30 minutes to reolve each persons issue. I'm sure you can do the math.
If you haven't gotten your shipping email... They are still shipping so that could be why.
If your package was delivered but you haven't seen it you should start a trace with the delivering agency (USPS in the United States)
If there is some other issue, email the support address and try to be patient, they are up to their backsides in email.
Jonathan, a long wait is typical, usually 10-15 days, but about this long by now, I'd send another one. Something might've happened to it or you didn't send it to the right address by accident. explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool for delivery issues or otherwise support@explodingkittens.com . Thanks for being patient at least!
Thanks for the reply guys. I originally sent to explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool but have now also tried the other address. I never even received a dispatch email so I don't know if it was even ever sent. I'll leave it be for now and see what transpires. Cheers for taking the time to let me know the situation.
Hello PoT!
Hiya Zem.
@Jonathan. Best of luck.
So... anybody have anything fun going on?
I'm cooking dinner. Not much going on here. Just a relaxing Saturday evening.
I had pizza. Really the highlight of the day. Wish I'd slept in longer than noon.
Got my decks today!!! Can't wait to grab the family by the hair and force them to have "FAMILY GAME NIGHT"!! I LOVE the surprise in the box, and am sure everyone will! Thanks so much guys and CONGRATS!
Huzzah Lela!
HOOPLA!!! Something happened today of all days!
time for bed after the most boring day this entire year.
[QUESTION FOR ALL WHO HAVE PLAYED]
Hello fellow backers, I have something to clarify regarding the following scenario. Given that Player X plays an attack card for whatever reason, and Player Y complies and draws the next two cards from the deck, then what happens when:
(a) The first drawn card is an exploding kitten?
(b) The second drawn card is an exploding kitten?
This question has surfaced amongst my friends and me because it is explicitly written on the defuse card that the last drawn card must be returned to the deck, but we have differing views on what that constitutes.
Thanks guys in advance!
Eiabess:
a) If the player has a defuse, they put the kitten back in the deck, ending that turn. Then they draw again for the second turn of the attack card. If they don't have a defuse, they explode and are out and the second turn is moot.
b) Same. The rules for kittens are always as stated above. It's the end of your turn, you draw a card, and it happens to be a kitten. If you have a defuse, put the kitten back in the deck and discard your spent defuse. If you don't, you're out of the game.
"last drawn card" means the card you just drew from the deck, not after 2 turns. Each turn with an attack is separate and treated as if it were just one normal turn, so if you draw it on the first one, you don't discard the next one drawn, you deal with the kitten as per usual methods.
@Eisabess
Zem is correct (nicely explained Zem). However you can institute any house rules you like (the creative team encourages house rules). For instance, in my house if you pull a exploding kitten and diffuse you take a shot. If you explode you chug a beer (or take two shots).
Such a shame I bought seven games to give as gifts. I had no idea they would package them like they did a plain box or envelope would of been fine now everyone knows what came in the mail. Surprise shot to hell
That's too bad, but I think the boxes are worth it.
Wow, nothing all day. I didn't miss anything by going to help move a couch here and there being no possible way to get it out of their basement, so we went to get ice-cream.
The latest update seems to have quelled the questioning somewhat, Zem. I think we may be past the worst of it. Of course at some point this round of shipping will conclude and there will be thousands of people out there who don't get their packages. Then there will be another rush of discontent (probably from the 1000 or so who didn't return a survey. [Yes, I was told there were about a thousand backers who never sent in a survey, or attempted contact in any way]). So keep an eye out. I wonder if everything will get sorted out before the weather turns?
Those are the kind of people who won't call in for support either, and almost certainly won't check on here. I used to be kind of like that, but more like I would've been in the last wave of people. I like not having all the questions to answer, but the silence is deafening.
Speaking of surveys. I was getting nervous about the lack of a pledge manager from another campaign I backed. I checked the comments. It hasn't been sent yet, so we're still good.
Where are GM and BaKhan? I want to talk to them about the snow
I'll take some snow. A bit early in the year, but I love a good snow!
Sigh. Still no response from support via email, no replies to messages here after three weeks, this is utter BS :(
Tim, we've likely responded, even though we're just enthusiasts, not paid workers. What's your problem specifically? Contact explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool for delivery issues, or if it was shipped already but never delivered, contact USPS; the email in the next sentence will reimburse any shipping fees. Contact support@explodingkittens.com for any other issues you may have.
REMEMBER: They only have 3 people answering near 1,000 emails a day, so a 10-14ish day wait is normal. After that, make sure you didn't accidentally get the address wrong and possibly send another email to make sure it got through, but please be patient.
Delivered here in Lebanon this morning. The only place on planet Earth were there's no PayPal.
Enjoy what's left of summer kitties..
@LZ, you guys got snow? On Friday it was bloody cold for this time of year. I saw chunks of snow falling, but it didn't stick. Keeps kinda bs because it was not a great birthday gift. Way too early for that stuff!
@Mustafa, HUZZAH! Congrats!
Hmmm... It seems my phone may have been hanging out with Trinkets phone...
Good morning corps!
SINGAPORE (24 AUGUST): Received mine! Magnetic box is torn at the bottom though - sigh, rough handling, customs inspection? Who knows. But the surprise was... surprising! Love it. Going to unwrap the cards and play a round or two or three or four with my friends tomorrow.
@Iman, Huzzah! Congrats, sorry about the damages though. Still, you are about to have so much fun!
BaKhan, no. I saw a report that you guys got snow, so I wanted to ask about the report's accuracy. It made it sound like you got a bunch. From your comment, it sounds like the report was overblown.
@LZ, some areas did get a fair amount of snow accumulation, mostly at the higher elevations. 10+ inches in the mountains. Looks like and early season for the ski / snowboard crowd. Personally, I find snow is way over rated. I am so glad I have remote start for my suv. Did I mention that I hate the cold? It was down to 34F on friday night. Back up to mid 70's today. Typical Calgary weather.
Morning kitties. How is everything this Monday morning?
@GM, much warmer today thanks!
Now on sale on Amazon.
I also think snow is overrated. They're predicting little snow here this winter. As long as we get enough in the mountains, I'm okay with that
@Collar Stay, crazy! I can't find the normal edition, but the NSFW is there! Must be people selling off their personal copies? I was under the impression that the NSFW was ks exclusive?
Good morning all!
Sorry, BaKhan, my phone has a habit of dragging others into its drunkenness.
Snow, huh. It's been cooler here in Wisconsin, but nowhere near THAT. It is the first time I remember wearing hooded sweatshirts in August, though.
Played some more EK friday night. Still haven't won a game, but at least we had some early attacks played, so the game wasn't a draw, go, draw, go,etc...
It does help that one if our regulars is very confrontational in all games. I think that's why he doesn't like Caverna, Stone Age, Alien Frontiers, Nations and most worker placement games. If he can't roll a dice and kill something in a game, he doesn't like it.
@BaKhan, it is being sold by Exploding Kittens LLC.
@Trinkets, Good morning sir! I've won over half the games I've played, and for the most part been taking it easy on them, even giving out the attack cards when asked for a favour, just to make it interesting. Played a five player on Friday night, was awesome! Definitely more fun with more people! I find I like to hang back and just draw 'n' go until it starts to heat up, and then I keep the pressure on! My favorite thing to do is, play a see the future card, show a huge wide eye'd tell, then put the cards back down and anxiously look at the next person. Watch 'em squirm! lolz!
Hi sorry too busy to stop and chat have a good day bye!
I also just started my second juice fast! On the first one I lost 50lbs in 30 days, this time is only for 21 days, but I'm hoping to lose another 20lbs. I'm pretty sure I can do it!
@Zem, hi, bye!
Ok, I can spend another few seconds here. To keep it short, that all sounds interesting.
I have about 40 minutes to eat before I go to my physics class, and then I have 10 minutes (hopefully) after that to make it ALL the way across campus for a communications class I'm taking for credit. Probably should go now, bye!
OH, my life is still so incomplete without the kittens I want to explode.
My university starts next week and I hope I will receive them before then, all the way over here in the netherlands
G' Morning troops.
I just looked on Amazon the only EK I saw for sale there is being sold by someone/something called Averia Entertainment and when I looked they only had three copies available. I'm guessing it's a backer who ordered a bunch of copies and is trying to sell them at a huge mark up ($138.95 plus $5.15 shipping?)to make a buck. Although it says Ad Magic in the description AM ain't selling these, I don't see Exploding Kittens, LLC anywhere on there.
YAY! It'S MINE!! MIIIIIIINE!!!
Thank you guys! Just got it here in Paris, France!
Thanx a bunch!!!
