If you can not deliver on first card set how in the world are you going to deliver on any expansion sets . I yet to get my set. I purchased it as a gift! You ...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-22T19:36:33-04:00
Terre: You... could have literally looked at the comment below yours! Really? I bet you won't check back for responses either. People just come here to complain.
Dave 2015-09-22T22:56:35-04:00
Yeah! Damn all this crap!
Dave 2015-09-22T22:59:22-04:00
I did a kickstarter for a gift one time. And it ended up as a gift 2 years later
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-22T23:06:57-04:00
Hi, dave! Yeah, don't expect a kickstarter object to arrive on your whim. EK was done amazingly well, one of the best run ever. Its only problem was that it had to deliver to more people than any other campaign ever, making it need to create new methods of delivering on their promises. I hope most of the backers don't go into another project with as high expectations.
Siddhesh 2015-09-23T01:00:18-04:00
@Powers of Tesla: I sent an email to support@explodingkittens.com on Aug 25, I am also in contact with Blackbox. They said they have shipped a replacement but that hasn't been delivered yet. Moreover, there is no tracking number, so no hope of knowing the approx date.
And yes, I did complete the survey, and that too quite early.
I am still hopeful though that I will get my box of Kittens.
Thanks for the response
Peter Mihaylov 2015-09-23T01:57:16-04:00
No Kittens here yet. I emailed Blackbox and they said they would ship a replacement, but they didn't answer after I sent them my mailing address for confirmation, plus I asked them for a tracking number.
Vladimir Melnichenko 2015-09-23T02:27:19-04:00
Micah, thank you very much for you response. As I wrote below, I've already sent an email to Blackbox, so now I will just wait for response patiently.
JFYI, my friend didn't receive his EK too. We are living in Minsk, Belarus.
I think, that delay can be because of carrier, but from other campaign at Kickstarted, I've receiver my reward after 2-3 weeks of waiting. The carrier was USPS.
Alan Farre 2015-09-23T04:06:37-04:00
Woohoo!!! Already had a response back. They're going to resend my kittens! Awesome and thanks so much :D!!!
Powers of Tesla 2015-09-23T08:49:30-04:00
@Siddhesh.
I don't know why you didn't get a tracking number but hopefully your Kittens will show up soon. I don't know where you are in the world but I would suggest waiting at least a couple of weeks before contacting them again id you're in the US. If you're somewhere else you may need to wait even longer. I'm sorry this is happening, but at least you got a response. Let us know when you get it.
@Vladimir
There have been customs issues getting Exploding Kittens into Russia, I don't know what the problem is, but the team is absolutely aware of it and working on it. I've been told they plan to send an email in the next week or so addressing the issue to their Russian backers. The customs issue has apparently been a problem for all Russian backers.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-23T09:54:52-04:00
In addition to what PoT said below, BlackBox had a glitch recently, so all of the boxes they meant to ship didn't get shipped. That's why so many people didn't get theirs. They said they'd be shipping early this week, so I hope you all get what you ordered soon! Just keep a positive attitude and patience, because for whatever reason, you were part of the estimated 1-2% of all backers to whom something came up during shipping that held it up. Understandable with so many orders needing to be prepared, just sorry it had to be you. Hope you all get them soon!

Morgnon. It's starting to feel like fall here as well.
Not turning in termination paperwork for salary staff, which in turn makes it highly possible to overpay them. Also not getting proper approvals for certain hours, and we need those approvals before we can actually pay out those hours.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-23T13:25:17-04:00
Ouch. That's why I always hate it when doing my job properly depends on other people doing their job properly.
I shouldn't have forgotten to mention, 90% of the time the termination/transfer forms aren't filled out properly. So there is TONS of going back and forth getting the proper dates that the person last worked, where they are transferring to, if it's a termination or resignation...I really need that vacation...probably before my manager takes hers at the end of October.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-23T13:50:29-04:00
Yeah. I hope you get it. Good luck!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-23T15:14:01-04:00
Race to the vacation! Wait, I really wasn't here this whole time? 2 hours, sure, but I've been here for one. Wow, I forgot to check on here when I had a chance! Now to go again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-23T15:15:29-04:00

Help you destress at work. Bad day? Just pick up this kitten!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-23T22:13:55-04:00
Darn it, Vsauce! He crashed a website again because of people trying to go there now. The Library of Babel is really cool though. (libraryofbabel.info) It has every 32000 character combination of the 26 letters, comma, space, and period possible; in total, 10^5000 pages all in an algorithm that takes the wall, book, and page entered to the library to make the combinations. Anything that can, has, will, or is even possible to be said is in there including the details of your birth, every possible death of yours, and these words as I type them, which I will search as soon as I can because that's freaking amazing! And anything with even a one letter variation. Note: all numbers need to be in letter form and special punctuation can't be used either, including colons, semicolons, apostrophes, and exclamation points, which I'll edit out.
Alexander Bushuev 2015-09-24T02:40:41-04:00
Hi there.
I was hoping to get an answer to my complaint I left on your site due to the problem with delivery. There is still no feedback and tracking number, so there is no way for me to know whethe you've sent it or not and even if did I would not know if there was a problem with the delivery again...
I've already read about successful deliveries to Russia so I'm really concerned whether you'll be able to ship it.
Best regards,
Alexander.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T08:56:44-04:00
Alexander, if I looked through your comments on your profile, I don't see any others on exploding kittens. If you left it somewhere else, I can't help, but if you left it here, we did respond, though we're not a team, we're just friends who help people out. Also, here isn't the place to go for help. That'd be emailing support@explodingkittens.com or explodingkittens@support.blackbox.cool . Also, they've been having really bad troubles with shipping to Russia, so I don't know how many got through, but they've been trying very hard to get the ones that won't through the borders, which I think are most of them. Also, they had a problem with shipping, so if you emailed support above, you should have gotten an email saying that it will be shipping now since it couldn't before, but since you didn't, I would email those again. Have a short, clear subject line and say your problem clearly and with details in the body of the email. Hope that helps.
Alexander Bushuev 2015-09-24T09:18:20-04:00
Hi there Micah,
I've sent an email before to first email you mentioned, but it seems they did not report back. Thanks anyway, I'll also try my chances with second email.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T10:17:16-04:00
Black Plague pledge manager = COMPLETE!! Here's hoping they are able to ship even remotely on time!
@LZ: I'm waiting on 3 of the last 4 surveys....one of them just finished the other day, so I'm not worried. And I've backed some of their previous campaigns before as well(the Everyday Messenger one).
Oh my goodness... the kitten drama i endured yesterday. Rescued a tiny mewing little creature that was stuck in the yard next door. There were towels and ladders involved. Then bottle feeding... then someone over heard me say "Kitten" and they thought I lost mine - and they said "Oh- we just found one in our yard!" and handed me a tiny little grey nugget. So I got to care for two little baby mewing fur balls.
Only one question...did you take one into the palm of your hand and it fell asleep(as per the 9gag post from TeP yesterday?), if not, it was not a good day.
I tried, but both of them were quite squirrely! I did however, hold one up against my chest for my heartbeat. She curled right up and nuzzled under my neck like a sweet little precious ball of kitteny goodness.
Well, as much as wanted to keep them both. desperately. But we had seen a nursing mama walk by the day before. We had to set the kittens outside and see if mama would take them. She did. Nursed them and shuffled them away. I am sad. But of course it's for the best.
ummm...nevermind....tinier one came back to us....
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T11:44:47-04:00
Congrats! That's awesome
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T11:59:51-04:00
I decided to get the Murder of Crowz along with the Deadeye Walkers and deck holders. Tack on shipping, and I had to pay an additional $43 today, for a total of just over $200
Well, I ended up not backing it because at the time I had no money to spare...now though, I might be able to since I received a bit of money from my Grandma's estate. Most of it went to paying off bills, some to savings, and the rest is sitting in my account looking at me like it wants to run away.
She dozed off in her towel for awhile. But then i saw another flea, and i tried to snatch it (successfully). So she woke up. Fed for a bit. When she lays on me, she tries to crawl up between my neck and shoulder. I just don't want to get fleas in my hair... so I wrapped her in a warm towel in a basket. she passed right out.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T12:34:36-04:00
Scrunchie was probably sending telepathic communication to the kitten saying, "What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous the giants are!?"
It's only letting me choose the $100 level...hopefully I can up the ante on it...and get more.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T13:22:48-04:00
Oh. Oh wow. Oh jeezis. That's alot of comments. I finished lab early and everything!
My epic mug (http://www.zazzle.com/epic_mug_of_coffee_20_oz_large_ceramic_coffee_mug-183788720168640880 ) will be arriving today! Awesome!
Dang it creeper! Had to punch a man to feel like a wall again! That's so cute! If that one never goes back to mama much, make her the housecat. Names... little grey kitten... lost, nomad... too bad it's a girl according to your pronouns or else Gandalf would've worked perfect! I'll be thinking of good names all day, so I'll try to pick the best and bring them here.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T13:25:58-04:00
GM, yes, that's how they're working it. You get in on the $100 level. Then, when you get the Pledge Manager, you will have the option to add on Wulfsburg and the Knight Pack, which will cost a total pc $50. You'll also be able to get any optional buys you want.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T13:26:49-04:00
Good name for a cat: Scylla
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T13:26:51-04:00
Best naming scheme ever: cultural. We named our cats from different cultures one time. They were Pikachu (japan), Jean Claude Philippe Jacques Perez (french) (Jean Claude, or JC for short), Dark Stormy Clouds Over The Prarie At Night With Moon Peeking Through (native american) (dark one, or stormy for short), and Bob.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T13:28:38-04:00
I always try to name cats after monsters or creatures. The last time I was allowed to do that, the cat's name was Critter.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T13:36:22-04:00
It's so weird when you have a random name stuck in your head and can't remember it. It always happens when I'm not near a computer, but sometimes, like now with Clyde Tombaugh, I remember when I find one. I'm never interested in the people themselves, only who applies to that name.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T13:38:54-04:00
When I tried remembering the names below of the kittens, I had to go to my mom's facebook pictures of them to remember them all in order. Big mistake. We gave 3 of them away, the fourth, our favorite, JC, died like 2 weeks later from a disease (my mom for some reason kept ignoring me when I said to take him to the vet, though she did minutes before he died), and the mom, one of my favorite cats, was driven away eventually by the old old cat that's still around today, my favorite one. I really miss all of them.
The other one we found yesterday needed a warrior name. She kept hissing, and was very assertive. She would curl up on me, sleep, wake up and gently hiss like "I still do not trust you" Tough little cookie. Mama took her back right away. i just don't know who this little one belongs to. :( Mama took her eventually yesterday, but she was trying to keep up with the bigger kittens, and nearly got trapped again. So we took her in. She was just mewing like crazy outside the bedroom window.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T14:42:53-04:00
Huzzah! My Star Wars Force and Destiny book came today!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T14:43:40-04:00
@LZ: The guys who put out Zombicide have another one out...that looks quite interesting. It's called The Others: 7 Sins....I just broke my promise to myself not to back anything else this year.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T16:15:47-04:00
Yes, they included that in one of their emails. I haven't looked into it because the wife has forbidden me to back anything else this year, especially games.
But it's a social thing! I'm sure she wouldn't mind if it was for a social gathering....or get it for her as a present? More for yourself, but still for her?
I wish I was getting a bonus...right now with the way the oil market is, not likely for some time(though technically my position shouldn't get bonuses...I just know that I did back in April when we transitioned the US finance positions to the Canada office).
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T16:42:16-04:00
They like to do annual merit bonuses at the clinic. They are usually in December, I think. But, if the pledge manager timing is anything like Black Plague, I'll have plenty of time to get the bonus in time to pay for the game after pledging $1
It says on the campaign page that you have until 1 month before shipping begins to finish the pledge manager(which will be 5 months after campaign ends). So you should be good. Since the estimated delivery is March 2016.
Lord Zombitten 2015-09-24T16:55:56-04:00
Oh, I didn't notice that before. Alright, it's settled. I'm backing it!
That's one way of going about it. I went with the justification of my mother shared part of her inheritance from my Grandma with us, so I can afford it. Especially since I have paid off most of my credit card(still a few things left to pay off from when I was barely making any money...like $12/hr with only 9-15 hours a week).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T17:35:52-04:00
Whoops, forgot I have to prepare a speech for tomorrow! 2-3 minutes persuasive about anything. Ironically, mine is about why you should study, or in the case of the communications class, practice speaking.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-24T17:37:35-04:00
Wouldn't grandma be proud knowing where her money went?
The amount that went to my savings, won't be touched until I absolutely need it. And that is looking like it won't be for a while since I've widdled my debts down a whole lot. Now it's just the student loans to pay off, and the other loan, which all automatically happen every month.
Carle Bellemare 2015-09-24T21:10:28-04:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-25T00:30:31-04:00
Michael, contact support@explodingkittens.com about the problem. Make a short, concise subject line and include important details in the email. It may take over a week because they have so many emails, but I think that's starting to die down. It'll still take many days, so be patient please and don't send redundant emails. Be forewarned they may ship it and not even reply to you, so it may just show up magically at your doorstep. But if nothing happens in 2 weeks, email them again to try to get helped. They really want to get every backer what they wanted, so work with them and be patient. About 1-2% of the 220,000 backers have the same trouble.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-09-25T00:57:12-04:00
libraryofbabel.info is so cool! I searched the entire outline for my speech tomorrow and it was there with the spelling mistakes. Somewhere, there's a version of my speech exactly as I'm going to say it. There's my speech exactly, but perfected. There's a version of my speech that could persuade any human alive, and a version that sucks (probably the one I'm going to use). It's just crazy to try to think of.

I need a 1000L barrel of whiskey to get through this day....or just shoot me now. -.-
But dying by alcohol poisoning trying to set the record of whiskey drinking in an hour would be way more enjoyable!
Wait, who brought the whiskey? Is it Fireball? That's my favorite whiskey.
That bad GM? Why not go for a quick walk? No need to let these folks run your blood pressure up.
I can't go for a walk, I need to process the payroll, and have it submitted in the next 1.5-2hours...with 2.5-3hours of work to do for it.
Is this related to people not turning in their timecards on time?
Not turning in termination paperwork for salary staff, which in turn makes it highly possible to overpay them. Also not getting proper approvals for certain hours, and we need those approvals before we can actually pay out those hours.

@LZ: I'm waiting on 3 of the last 4 surveys....one of them just finished the other day, so I'm not worried. And I've backed some of their previous campaigns before as well(the Everyday Messenger one).
Oh my goodness... the kitten drama i endured yesterday. Rescued a tiny mewing little creature that was stuck in the yard next door. There were towels and ladders involved.

I tried, but both of them were quite squirrely! I did however, hold one up against my chest for my heartbeat. She curled right up and nuzzled under my neck like a sweet little precious ball of kitteny goodness.
I think you found one who will cuddle with you from now and, and open the floodgate to being smothered in kitteny goodness.
Well, as much as wanted to keep them both. desperately. But we had seen a nursing mama walk by the day before. We had to set the kittens outside and see if mama would take them. She did. Nursed them and shuffled them away. I am sad. But of course it's for the best.
They will be back, and the one who nuzzled in, will come right back to you. Mewling to be picked up for more nuzzling.
ummm...nevermind....tinier one came back to us....
Congrats! That's awesome
I decided to get the Murder of Crowz along with the Deadeye Walkers and deck holders. Tack on shipping, and I had to pay an additional $43 today, for a total of just over $200
@LZ: And you didn't order me one? I thought we were brothers in arms.
I thought you ordered one. I know BaKhan did. He might be an easier one to get stuff through, considering the proximity issue.
Well, I ended up not backing it because at the time I had no money to spare...now though, I might be able to since I received a bit of money from my Grandma's estate. Most of it went to paying off bills, some to savings, and the rest is sitting in my account looking at me like it wants to run away.
Plus, I noticed a late pledge thing on there...might do it.
You should. My $200 is getting me about $650 worth of stuff. The deadline is November 6
Oh my goodness. Just gave kitten a bath - but i wasn't thorough enough. Merp. Finally got her to feed. She's fast asleep now.
..Are you holding her as she sleeps?
I was holding her outside and looking at scrunchie like "see? I can hold y'all and not cause harm!"
She dozed off in her towel for awhile. But then i saw another flea, and i tried to snatch it (successfully). So she woke up. Fed for a bit. When she lays on me, she tries to crawl up between my neck and shoulder. I just don't want to get fleas in my hair... so I wrapped her in a warm towel in a basket. she passed right out.
Scrunchie was probably sending telepathic communication to the kitten saying, "What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous the giants are!?"
What are you going to call her?
My roommates said "Dont let the cats see you give her a bath. They will flip the eff out and never come near us"
at the moment it is just "little grey one" No discussion of name yet.
It's only letting me choose the $100 level...hopefully I can up the ante on it...and get more.
Oh. Oh wow. Oh jeezis. That's alot of comments. I finished lab early and everything!
My epic mug (http://www.zazzle.com/epic_mug_of_coffee_20_oz_large_ceramic_coffee_mug-183788720168640880 ) will be arriving today! Awesome!
Dang it creeper! Had to punch a man to feel like a wall again! That's so cute! If that one never goes back to mama much, make her the housecat. Names... little grey kitten... lost, nomad... too bad it's a girl according to your pronouns or else Gandalf would've worked perfect! I'll be thinking of good names all day, so I'll try to pick the best and bring them here.
GM, yes, that's how they're working it. You get in on the $100 level. Then, when you get the Pledge Manager, you will have the option to add on Wulfsburg and the Knight Pack, which will cost a total pc $50. You'll also be able to get any optional buys you want.
Good name for a cat: Scylla
Best naming scheme ever: cultural. We named our cats from different cultures one time. They were Pikachu (japan), Jean Claude Philippe Jacques Perez (french) (Jean Claude, or JC for short), Dark Stormy Clouds Over The Prarie At Night With Moon Peeking Through (native american) (dark one, or stormy for short), and Bob.
I always try to name cats after monsters or creatures. The last time I was allowed to do that, the cat's name was Critter.
It's so weird when you have a random name stuck in your head and can't remember it. It always happens when I'm not near a computer, but sometimes, like now with Clyde Tombaugh, I remember when I find one. I'm never interested in the people themselves, only who applies to that name.
When I tried remembering the names below of the kittens, I had to go to my mom's facebook pictures of them to remember them all in order. Big mistake. We gave 3 of them away, the fourth, our favorite, JC, died like 2 weeks later from a disease (my mom for some reason kept ignoring me when I said to take him to the vet, though she did minutes before he died), and the mom, one of my favorite cats, was driven away eventually by the old old cat that's still around today, my favorite one. I really miss all of them.
The other one we found yesterday needed a warrior name. She kept hissing, and was very assertive. She would curl up on me, sleep, wake up and gently hiss like "I still do not trust you" Tough little cookie. Mama took her back right away. i just don't know who this little one belongs to. :( Mama took her eventually yesterday, but she was trying to keep up with the bigger kittens, and nearly got trapped again. So we took her in. She was just mewing like crazy outside the bedroom window.
Huzzah! My Star Wars Force and Destiny book came today!
I found how to win at fencing every single time! Seriously, try this! http://9gag.com/gag/arRxD67
AAaand the mug is here!
On another note, the litter box has been pretty empty of late. Where are you all burying it?
findtheinvisiblecow.com
It's behind the barn.
@LZ: The guys who put out Zombicide have another one out...that looks quite interesting. It's called The Others: 7 Sins....I just broke my promise to myself not to back anything else this year.
Yes, they included that in one of their emails. I haven't looked into it because the wife has forbidden me to back anything else this year, especially games.
But it's a social thing! I'm sure she wouldn't mind if it was for a social gathering....or get it for her as a present? More for yourself, but still for her?
Damn it! Why did I watch that video? I want it!
Because I'm a bad influence? Contrary to what my parents seem to think...
I wish I knew when I will be getting a bonus and how much it will be.
I'll see if I can do a $1 pledge and come up with the other $99 before the Pledge Manager is due
I wish I was getting a bonus...right now with the way the oil market is, not likely for some time(though technically my position shouldn't get bonuses...I just know that I did back in April when we transitioned the US finance positions to the Canada office).
They like to do annual merit bonuses at the clinic. They are usually in December, I think. But, if the pledge manager timing is anything like Black Plague, I'll have plenty of time to get the bonus in time to pay for the game after pledging $1
It says on the campaign page that you have until 1 month before shipping begins to finish the pledge manager(which will be 5 months after campaign ends). So you should be good. Since the estimated delivery is March 2016.
Oh, I didn't notice that before. Alright, it's settled. I'm backing it!
(Yes, I've already cleared it with Mrs LZ)
Did you use the "It's a socializing campaign" line
No, I used the "it looks really cool and I'm getting a bonus soon" line.
That's one way of going about it. I went with the justification of my mother shared part of her inheritance from my Grandma with us, so I can afford it. Especially since I have paid off most of my credit card(still a few things left to pay off from when I was barely making any money...like $12/hr with only 9-15 hours a week).
Whoops, forgot I have to prepare a speech for tomorrow! 2-3 minutes persuasive about anything. Ironically, mine is about why you should study, or in the case of the communications class, practice speaking.
Wouldn't grandma be proud knowing where her money went?
Well...a good 60% went to paying off debt, 20% to savings, and the other 20% is sitting in my account.
That's a good investment. You earned a boardgame.
The amount that went to my savings, won't be touched until I absolutely need it. And that is looking like it won't be for a while since I've widdled my debts down a whole lot. Now it's just the student loans to pay off, and the other loan, which all automatically happen every month.
this is such a great game! we are having loads of fun! What will you guys come up with next?

As if you didn't have enough kittens in your life already.
So I've yet to receive the game �
Michael, contact support@explodingkittens.com about the problem. Make a short, concise subject line and include important details in the email. It may take over a week because they have so many emails, but I think that's starting to die down. It'll still take many days, so be patient please and don't send redundant emails. Be forewarned they may ship it and not even reply to you, so it may just show up magically at your doorstep. But if nothing happens in 2 weeks, email them again to try to get helped. They really want to get every backer what they wanted, so work with them and be patient. About 1-2% of the 220,000 backers have the same trouble.
libraryofbabel.info is so cool! I searched the entire outline for my speech tomorrow and it was there with the spelling mistakes. Somewhere, there's a version of my speech exactly as I'm going to say it. There's my speech exactly, but perfected. There's a version of my speech that could persuade any human alive, and a version that sucks (probably the one I'm going to use). It's just crazy to try to think of.
Morning kittens.
Mornin. Such a boring night here.
Mmm...chicken wing Friday.
Ooooh! Dishonest, insubordinate busybodies piss me off!
