@Emmett Salisbury
Send an email to support@explodingkittens.com In the "Subject" line write "No Survey Received". Be prepared to wait 10 to 14 days for a reply. The creative team is swamped with emails right now.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-25T19:57:30-04:00
GM, phone converters aren't usually as up to date as Google is unless they use google, and it can change quite a bit. I just typed in that many chinese yen to usd and it came right up.
TanukiBalls 2015-08-25T21:36:21-04:00
Has anyone had any luck with Blackbox reshipping packages that weren't delivered or delivered to the wrong address? I contacted the kittens team who told me I was too late to change it weeks in advance of the shipping date, then Blackbox first thing I got shipping notification, then did the survey when the package was never forwarded by USPS or whoever was doing the delivery.
Haven't heard back in weeks since the survey. Anyone else get an update/feedback on theirs?
Anthony Arcaro 2015-08-25T21:39:35-04:00
How can I get in contact with the Kittens team I have not recieved my cards or any notification of incorrect address or anything and really dont want to have to buy another set. PLZ HELP
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-25T22:19:53-04:00
If you're having difficulties send an email to support@explodingkittens.com Expect a wait of 10 to 20 days for a response, they're overwhelmed with emails right now.
Keep in mind that as of the last update (a week ago) they were still shipping packages, so yours may nit have shipped yet.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T00:32:20-04:00

Good morning all.

I think @LZ lost his mind last night, lol
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T09:13:18-04:00
I kind of feel like Zem right now.

Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T09:47:03-04:00
Now I feel better.
Allergies are killing me this morning. Ugh.
How are you gents doing?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T09:47:27-04:00
@PoT, hey man! Have you recovered from that village meeting yet? ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T09:48:46-04:00
@Trinkets, I'm doing great! My pups still doing good, I started a juice fast on Monday, and I've already lost 4.5lbs!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T09:50:11-04:00
Sorry to hear about the allergies, they can be a bitch for sure!
Antoine 2015-08-26T09:58:10-04:00
Got my Exploding Kittens game a couple of weeks ago and love it, like everyone else in the family! Great job guys!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T10:04:11-04:00
Zero chance I survive 2 days of a juice fast.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T10:05:02-04:00
I didn't lose my mind. I just let it go for a walk.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T10:05:11-04:00
@Antoine, fantastic!! We got lucky backing such a great game!!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T10:08:35-04:00
@Trinkets, its easier than you would think! I've got 18 days left and my goal for this one was 20lbs, so I may have to recalculate that goal! After that, we're going to Disney World! Whoo hoo!
I got a nice picture this morning looking to the East, since the city is covered in smoke from the wild fires in BC and the states, it's actually quite a nice picture. If I ever do get back on the litter box I will post it there.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T10:26:49-04:00
*grumble grumble* Fine! I'll get out of bed and go to work!
I remember seeing a video, from one of the firefighters, that showed the fire coming over the hill/mountain/dale/whathaveyou in front of them...in SECONDS it went from a little red in the sky, to huge flames seen coming at them(maybe 20-30seconds between it all).
I'm pretty sure it was in Washington that the video was taken too.
Thewarstore.com 2015-08-26T11:10:07-04:00
How nice of the producers of this game to sell exclusive sales rights to Amazon.com for the 'kick-starter EXCLUSIVE' NTSF deck.......... This is not a good move even if I understand their desire to make as much money as possible off this game.
This guy will probably be right on time since he's coming in during his lunch break
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T11:22:42-04:00
@Thewarstore.com
Yeah, we're a little she'll shocked.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T11:23:05-04:00
@Thewarstore, I believe that they did this to stop people from gouging on eBay, so thats a pretty good reason. Also, depending on how many they made for the KS to cover pledges and losses due to shipping errors etc, they may have had too many lying around and needed to clear them out. I understand people being upset, but I have to believe that there are some good reasons.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T11:23:19-04:00
*shell shocked.
Damn phone fell off the wagon.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T11:24:27-04:00
How exclusive are our NSFW decks and special boxes. A few hundred thousand are out there.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T11:26:27-04:00
@Trinkets, you're right. Its all a matter of technicality though. Gamers are pretty good at nit picking. I wish they would have never said it was exclusive, would have solved the problem, before it started.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T11:38:01-04:00
Just in time to hear another complainer! Highlight of the day. Man, you guys have had a busy morning. I would have lunch now, but it's too early, so my only next break while they serve lunch is at 2:30, and I'll only have just long enough for a sandwich or something.
Well, BaKhan, they didn't know then it would get this big, even till the last week or so. I just wish they would've said since it's now a full deck, it's a full expansion deck and is fully canon.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T11:39:24-04:00
@Zem, exactly! Now, go get yourself a sammich!
Thewarstore.com 2015-08-26T11:51:10-04:00
Those are all understandable reasons, but to make them exclusive to Amazon smacks of Cards Against Humanity, it is kind of like making yourself exclusive and cutting out all the legitimate re-sellers out there. If it is exclusive to Amazon it means they have made it a regular product however as that would be required for the contract. It is no longer exclusive in any form at this time. Of course.... there were 100's printed already, but it is a bit of a principle thing.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T11:54:41-04:00
@Thewarstore, can't argue with any of that. I wish they would have posted an update here explaining their decision. We don't have to agree with it, but it would have been nice.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T11:57:27-04:00
First off, there were probably just under half a million NSFWs printed, not just hundreds. Second, I think they wanted to undercut the people trying to make a profit off their work by reselling the decks, so they released it early. Third, they didn't say the NSFW was exclusive after it became a full deck; they just never said it wasn't anymore either. Don't worry, your awesome box with surprise is still exclusive and special, though there're over half a million of those as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T11:58:19-04:00
But yeah, it would've been nice just so that so many people didn't complain about it if they would just post a little update about this situation.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T12:02:13-04:00
Where does it say that it's Amazon exclusive?
Thewarstore.com 2015-08-26T12:27:09-04:00
It is on the link I posted below. What that means is they gave the rights to distribute solely to Amazon, scroll down and you will see the exclusive Amazon label.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T12:34:08-04:00
I followed the link. I still don't see an Amazon exclusive label.
I was reading the reviews of the NSFW deck on Amazon...and this one caught my attention:

Bad
ByAiron Lynchon August 25, 2015
The Oatmeal is an egotistical self-righteous rag and this product further shows it's about turning a profit rather than producing a product people want. The jokes aren't funny and this whole thing, with as much money that it got funded with isn't really a good indication of money well spent.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T13:10:08-04:00
Some people will find a way to complain about anything. They make me sad.

Misleading Product Name
ByJason Ron August 24, 2015
I was very excited when I first heard about this product. It instantly brought back childhood memories. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to find that no exploding kittens were included, living or otherwise. The contents only include mildly funny, poorly drawn cartoons of kittens exploding. A poor substitute to be sure
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T13:16:40-04:00
I saw that one, as well. My eyes rolled so far back in my head that my brain said "What are you looking at me for?!"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T14:37:19-04:00
Someone call the police! There's been a drive-by commenting!!! Just in time for lunch before recitation and then I'm done for the day!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T15:01:28-04:00
Yeah, I saw when the first person put up a complaint and just laughed at how sad it was. Seriously, I don't know if they expected something else, but they're just sad.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T15:03:26-04:00
Well, the NSFW is #1 as Amazon's top seller for Toys & Games. The regular deck is #2.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T15:05:30-04:00
I also clicked @Thewarstore's link and didn't see any amazon exclusive seal or anything. On mobile or full site.
Could be that I don't have any idea what I'm looking for either.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T15:06:42-04:00
I also don't see a llink in either of the war store's comments.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T15:09:31-04:00
@Zem, look for his first post today, it had the link. However, I, like the others was unable to see the exclusive seal. That being said, if that is how CAH is doing it, then I think its pretty logical that EK would as well. They did after all use the CAH shipping dept. for fulfillment.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T15:09:59-04:00
Oh, just below the description on the amazon page, it has a picture that says, "Find unique and innovative products at Amazon Exclusive." though that doesn't mean amazon holds any rights over the product, I'm sure.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T15:11:48-04:00
Welcome to Amazon Exclusives. Amazon Exclusives showcases sellers who have chosen to sell their products only on the Amazon Marketplace and through their own websites and physical stores.
Yup, so they sell it on Amazon, their website, which brings you to the amazon platform, and in stores once it's produced enough.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T15:13:13-04:00
Okay, if you click on the Amazon Exclusive link, it takes you to a page where you can search for their exclusive products, EK is one of them. I wonder if they looked at the logistics and said, hmmm sell to one company, or many... easier to just go with Amazon?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T15:13:50-04:00
But yeah, just below the product description, just under where it says this box doesn't meow, is a little image that says amazon exclusives and links to that part of the site. The quote just below this comment was from the bottom of the page.
And with that, time for physics reci. See you all in over an hour.
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T15:21:20-04:00
It must not show on Mobile
Lord Zombitten 2015-08-26T15:22:54-04:00
But the exclusive label apparently still does not preclude selling in brick and mortar stores. It just means they won't sell it through other online retailers. I'm okay with that
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T15:50:00-04:00
Howdy troops. It's been a busy morning I see.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-08-26T15:53:59-04:00
Howdy, @PoT
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T15:57:55-04:00
@PoT, hey howdy!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:01:11-04:00
PoT Howdy doody!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:02:15-04:00
LZ, yeah, they can sell it physically anywhere they want and on their own site, just not on like Ebay or something like that. It only excludes Amazon's direct competition.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:03:31-04:00
Also, did you see youtube launched their own version of Twitch? Wonder how that'll go. Good idea on their part for sure, though I never watch livestreams unless it's a great person or group I love and just happened to see they're on now.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T16:03:53-04:00
Hey Trinkets, BaKhan.
@BaKhan. I'm not sure I'll ever recover from the nightmare that was the village bored meeting. I really have to think about whether or not I want to be part of that.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T16:05:53-04:00
@PoT, it all depends on whether you think they can change or not. If they can't change, forget it!
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T16:06:31-04:00
Hiya Zem.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T16:07:18-04:00
Oh I don't see them changing jack.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:07:40-04:00
I'd really try hard to make sure your efforts aren't for naught if you really decide to try to use their own boardom against them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T16:09:37-04:00
@PoT, thats about what I'd expect... reminds me of a Dale Carnegie class I took. "I know someone in a rut who will always be in a rut! You wanna know why? Because they refuse to do what is neccessary to change!" You had to scream that out at the top of your lungs, it was pretty fun actually.
Powers of Tesla 2015-08-26T16:13:38-04:00
Maybe I can't change them, but I might be able to make 'em uncomfortable.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T16:16:39-04:00
So then it really boils down to a benefit vs. cost analysis. In my opinion, its not worth it. Its like arguing with your wife, you can win on every point and still lose. Although in this case it would be because of boredom. ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:18:34-04:00
You may lose years of your life, but you'll be able to have a taller fence. Or whatever the issue was, I forget really.
RandomSanity 2015-08-26T16:24:47-04:00
They're already selling these decks on amazon, while there are still kickstarter backers waiting for their pledge decks?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T16:31:11-04:00
@Random, yes its true. This is actually quite typical with most kickstarters. I have seen where it is available for retail before any backers even have the product, so all things considered, this is a pretty minor issue. I realize of course that if you are still waiting for yours, that it won't seem that way. Rest assured this will not prevent them from being able to look after you. If you haven't got it yet, its coming!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T16:37:19-04:00
Plus you get the super-special fun KS-exclusive box for the standard deck with the surprise. They'll sell them too, just a heads-up, but only, we think, the overstock. They had to make more than they sold just so they had enough to get out to people in case of the couple thousand that didn't get theirs.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T17:18:25-04:00
Well apparently my lab notebook doesn't exist except in the minds of the syllabus and the TAs. I think they want me to have one, but they don't say where to get one.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T17:19:54-04:00
Meaning it's not in the bookstore, nor do they have a title or author of the notebook. But they still want me to read the procedures ahead of time and do the questions at the end of the labs. Ok...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-08-26T17:23:02-04:00
@Zem, can anybody else in the class help you out with that? Sounds pretty crazy to me!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T17:25:20-04:00
I don't know whether anyone else even has it. Nobody could tell me about the prelab assignment which is like a quiz over the procedure due before lab tomorrow, so basically tonight. It's also not up. I hope the Teaching Assistant looks at his email often.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-08-26T17:31:41-04:00
I just checked the Amazon listings for this, and there is a specific Q&A that states the Amazon version boxes DO NOT have the special feature, and the Original Edition box is not the magnetic flip-tip lid -- it's a box similar to the NSFW box lid. Dunno if anyone pointed that out already ...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-08-26T17:33:14-04:00
So that means, at least in some respect, these being sold through Amazon are separate production from the KS sets -- they are not KS overruns or excess production.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T17:56:14-04:00
CoD: Here's where it looks like the original box will go on sale once they get all of the orders fulfilled and have extras on hand.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-08-26T18:34:34-04:00
Yeah, all I did was open the currency converter on my phone.

@LZ: You don't have to...just it's hard to keep the bosses happy(and stay employed) unless you make an appearance.
I know. Especially now that I'm a boss. They expect more of me
Actually, I do have to go in. I have a guy coming in for a job interview today.
If he's not 15min early, he's already late.
@GM, damn that smoke is thick out there! The amount of forest fires is too damn high!
I remember seeing a video, from one of the firefighters, that showed the fire coming over the hill/mountain/dale/whathaveyou in front of them...in SECONDS it went from a little red in the sky, to huge flames seen coming at them(maybe 20-30seconds between it all).
I'm pretty sure it was in Washington that the video was taken too.

But yeah, it would've been nice just so that so many people didn't complain about it if they would just post a little update about this situation.
Where does it say that it's Amazon exclusive?
It is on the link I posted below. What that means is they gave the rights to distribute solely to Amazon, scroll down and you will see the exclusive Amazon label.
I followed the link. I still don't see an Amazon exclusive label.
I was reading the reviews of the NSFW deck on Amazon...and this one caught my attention:

Bad
ByAiron Lynchon August 25, 2015
The Oatmeal is an egotistical self-righteous rag and this product further shows it's about turning a profit rather than producing a product people want. The jokes aren't funny and this whole thing, with as much money that it got funded with isn't really a good indication of money well spent.
Some people will find a way to complain about anything. They make me sad.
Here is another one, trying to be funny:

Misleading Product Name
ByJason Ron August 24, 2015
I was very excited when I first heard about this product. It instantly brought back childhood memories. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to find that no exploding kittens were included, living or otherwise. The contents only include mildly funny, poorly drawn cartoons of kittens exploding. A poor substitute to be sure
I saw that one, as well. My eyes rolled so far back in my head that my brain said "What are you looking at me for?!"
Morning all. I see the drama has been alive and well this morning
@House Arrest, hey howdy!
Howdy!
Someone call the police! There's been a drive-by commenting!!! Just in time for lunch before recitation and then I'm done for the day!
Yeah, I saw when the first person put up a complaint and just laughed at how sad it was. Seriously, I don't know if they expected something else, but they're just sad.
Well, the NSFW is #1 as Amazon's top seller for Toys & Games. The regular deck is #2.
I also clicked @Thewarstore's link and didn't see any amazon exclusive seal or anything. On mobile or full site.
Could be that I don't have any idea what I'm looking for either.
I also don't see a llink in either of the war store's comments.
@Zem, look for his first post today, it had the link. However, I, like the others was unable to see the exclusive seal. That being said, if that is how CAH is doing it, then I think its pretty logical that EK would as well. They did after all use the CAH shipping dept. for fulfillment.
Oh, just below the description on the amazon page, it has a picture that says, "Find unique and innovative products at Amazon Exclusive." though that doesn't mean amazon holds any rights over the product, I'm sure.
Welcome to Amazon Exclusives. Amazon Exclusives showcases sellers who have chosen to sell their products only on the Amazon Marketplace and through their own websites and physical stores.
Yup, so they sell it on Amazon, their website, which brings you to the amazon platform, and in stores once it's produced enough.
Okay, if you click on the Amazon Exclusive link, it takes you to a page where you can search for their exclusive products, EK is one of them. I wonder if they looked at the logistics and said, hmmm sell to one company, or many... easier to just go with Amazon?
But yeah, just below the product description, just under where it says this box doesn't meow, is a little image that says amazon exclusives and links to that part of the site. The quote just below this comment was from the bottom of the page.
And with that, time for physics reci. See you all in over an hour.
It must not show on Mobile
But the exclusive label apparently still does not preclude selling in brick and mortar stores. It just means they won't sell it through other online retailers. I'm okay with that
Howdy troops. It's been a busy morning I see.
Howdy, @PoT
@PoT, hey howdy!
PoT Howdy doody!
LZ, yeah, they can sell it physically anywhere they want and on their own site, just not on like Ebay or something like that. It only excludes Amazon's direct competition.
Also, did you see youtube launched their own version of Twitch? Wonder how that'll go. Good idea on their part for sure, though I never watch livestreams unless it's a great person or group I love and just happened to see they're on now.
Hey Trinkets, BaKhan.
@BaKhan. I'm not sure I'll ever recover from the nightmare that was the village bored meeting. I really have to think about whether or not I want to be part of that.
@PoT, it all depends on whether you think they can change or not. If they can't change, forget it!
Hiya Zem.
Oh I don't see them changing jack.
I'd really try hard to make sure your efforts aren't for naught if you really decide to try to use their own boardom against them.
@PoT, thats about what I'd expect... reminds me of a Dale Carnegie class I took. "I know someone in a rut who will always be in a rut! You wanna know why? Because they refuse to do what is neccessary to change!" You had to scream that out at the top of your lungs, it was pretty fun actually.
Maybe I can't change them, but I might be able to make 'em uncomfortable.
So then it really boils down to a benefit vs. cost analysis. In my opinion, its not worth it. Its like arguing with your wife, you can win on every point and still lose. Although in this case it would be because of boredom. ;)
You may lose years of your life, but you'll be able to have a taller fence. Or whatever the issue was, I forget really.
They're already selling these decks on amazon, while there are still kickstarter backers waiting for their pledge decks?
@Random, yes its true. This is actually quite typical with most kickstarters. I have seen where it is available for retail before any backers even have the product, so all things considered, this is a pretty minor issue. I realize of course that if you are still waiting for yours, that it won't seem that way. Rest assured this will not prevent them from being able to look after you. If you haven't got it yet, its coming!
Plus you get the super-special fun KS-exclusive box for the standard deck with the surprise. They'll sell them too, just a heads-up, but only, we think, the overstock. They had to make more than they sold just so they had enough to get out to people in case of the couple thousand that didn't get theirs.
Well apparently my lab notebook doesn't exist except in the minds of the syllabus and the TAs. I think they want me to have one, but they don't say where to get one.
Meaning it's not in the bookstore, nor do they have a title or author of the notebook. But they still want me to read the procedures ahead of time and do the questions at the end of the labs. Ok...
@Zem, can anybody else in the class help you out with that? Sounds pretty crazy to me!
I don't know whether anyone else even has it. Nobody could tell me about the prelab assignment which is like a quiz over the procedure due before lab tomorrow, so basically tonight. It's also not up. I hope the Teaching Assistant looks at his email often.
I just checked the Amazon listings for this, and there is a specific Q&A that states the Amazon version boxes DO NOT have the special feature, and the Original Edition box is not the magnetic flip-tip lid -- it's a box similar to the NSFW box lid. Dunno if anyone pointed that out already ...
So that means, at least in some respect, these being sold through Amazon are separate production from the KS sets -- they are not KS overruns or excess production.
CoD: Here's where it looks like the original box will go on sale once they get all of the orders fulfilled and have extras on hand.
Oh, whoops! Hahaha! http://explodingkittens.com/buy
almost 40 minutes to realize I left out the link!
Good work
