Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T22:28:39-04:00
Woo! Finally got to try out the expansion!
First thoughts: That Sneak Attack card I made makes the game really interesting!
Second thoughts: Wait, when you steal, the new cards look different on the back, like they're brighter. That makes a major advantage when you're stealing because you know which ones are from which deck! It's an unfair advantage.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T22:30:05-04:00
I couldn't download hockeyapp to play the beta. I was going to look back into it now, but it just didn't work. Hope I can get it figured out.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T22:40:42-04:00
I uploaded a picture of the Sneak Attack cards to the Slack #thecrate page if you're on there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T22:43:07-04:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T22:56:21-04:00
With HockeyApp to play the beta, it says "Download", you press that, it downloads, then it says "Install the downloaded package."
Where do you go to install downloaded things? I can't find that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T23:03:41-04:00
Nevermind, got that figured out, but how do you get the invite? In my profile on the app, it says I have none.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T23:05:17-04:00
Is anyone up for a game on the regular app tonight? I'll check into the room between games.
Dude- Zem... you buried the lead. I played Elan tonight! and won!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-21T23:47:07-04:00
I'm off now, but if you want to, just comment here and I'll check in as often as I can remember, so maybe once every youtube video, so on average once every 10 minutes.
Come on guys, you're making me look like a spammer!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T02:30:52-04:00
Don't worry, Creeper, I saw that! Also, your comment didn't come up until now somehow!
`
Just played a ton more with my roommate and a friend. Everyone LOVES the expansion and thinks the two Sneak Attack cards are perfect! Try it yourselves!
Also, I would say no more than two sneak attacks because it's so powerful. Two is perfect, though.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T06:35:17-04:00
So I slept through all of you being on here [yesterday]... oh geez, it's not even a sarcastic yesterday, it's 5 am! So, I slept through the busy part yesterday, now you're all sleeping through my time on here?! I should have been spamming the AZANS button ALL night long!
Though this means you should start getting back on soon. About the time I leave for donuts and then classes... like normal.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T08:43:50-04:00
Wow, nobody here yet? I'm usually not the first person here, and I wake up at 7:30 two days a week.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T09:56:48-04:00
Wow! Still nobody here? What do I pay you people for?!
Seriously, though, when I'm not on, you guys are buzzing around all morning this early. Today must be saturday and I got the dates mixed up. Ooh, please say it's saturday already!
I'm finding that almost nobody on the app has any strategy whatsoever. They defuse the cat, then put it right on top, not even thinking about possibly placing in a different spot.
Morning LZ- sorry about the migraines... Those are awful. :( hope you start to feel better today.
And GM- agreed. Or people are starting to leave the game when they get attacked. I've stayed in all the games- and it's amazing how fast it can turn around!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-22T11:23:41-04:00
The pain is gone. Now I'm just dead tired.
I've also noticed the lack of strategy.
Bella has said they have plans for people who quit the game early.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T11:35:13-04:00
GM, the worst thing is that you don't have a wide variety of options, so when your turn rolls around, if it's not already drawn, it's either within see the future range, guessing about the next one or two past that range, or on the bottom.
One time I even used the bottom to my advantage, drew the kitten, defused, and threw it at a person who couldn't avoid it! If you ask me, though, it was *totally* deliberate! ;)
`
But yeah, the strategy of most people online is that of a 7 year-old. It's not even fair most of the time. Really, it's just plain annoying.
`
Ooh, LZ, what kind of plans? Because 80% of the time they leave early, it's just giving up and ducking out as the bomb hits them.
`
Also, I'm tired as well, but for me it's because I've been up for exactly 21 hours straight now. I got a ton of sleep yesterday if you read that, but I'll nap this afternoon and be golden.
I would think one way to avoid that is - if they duck out more than once, they might have a time penalty... can't play the game again for a set amount of time. I had a nother game that did that.
I'm the same way as you Creeper. I hoard my cards until I need to start using them, or in retaliation to someone hitting me with something.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T11:50:54-04:00
Yeah, I love when someone plays all their cards when there's only a 12% chance of kittens, so you just steal their last two cards and then set them up to die. Attack them when you know a kitten or two are on top.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T11:51:16-04:00
I almost always have "Card Collector" at the end of a game.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T11:52:23-04:00
Anyone up for a game right now?! Creeper? I'll wait in the designated room for awhile now!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T12:06:14-04:00
Overly attached player? ;)
`
Also, Creeper, limited time offer. I can only be on for 15 more min. right now, so really only able to start a game for 5 or so!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T12:13:50-04:00
Aaw, dang it! Too late, noob! I wanted to play you! Oh well, I'll probably be on later today some time.
We should set up a Corps game time! Say, something like 6 central, or whenever we can agree on!
I may go crazy by the end of today....all I'm doing is listening to Webinars to get my hours for continuing education, and filing....this is going to be a LONG day. Not to mention I don't know what I'm having for lunch.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T13:29:23-04:00
I know what I'm having for lunch.
... sleep. Just a nap, but necessary nonetheless. I was very nearly nodding off through the first half of chem lecture just now before it got interesting only to find out I didn't even need to actually go there in the first place. I could already have napped! The injustice!
Nothing like there being ~30 cards left in the deck, and only two people left alive. Using party pack at that.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-22T14:54:20-04:00
I may have just played a beta iOS game with The Oatmeal! He changed his avatar name right before the game started though.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-22T15:03:10-04:00
"I uploaded a picture of the Sneak Attack cards to the Slack #thecrate page if you're on there."
Can I see this if I missed the crate? (You know I'm jealous of you all!)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-22T15:22:02-04:00
Hello kittens.
Re: Game strategy
When I first started playing, I was emptying my hand well before the game was done. Now, since they have the percentage timer, I hoard my cards so that when I'm attacked, I can fight back. I like the Cat Butt/Steal Cards combo. It's a great way to get an extra defuse card.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-22T15:41:33-04:00
I'm fond of diarrhea + cat butt + multiple steals.
I'm fond of using the Diarrhea(however many needed) + Slap/Reverse/Skip. And I'm also fond of putting the cat I just defused onto the bottom of the deck.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-22T15:45:05-04:00
Zem, I don't know what kind of plans are in store. Bella only said that they have plans.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-22T16:56:24-04:00
Well, as usual Kickstarter is no help in getting the entire content stream like General Calculus was somehow able to do. Does he ever visit here any more? Does anyone have a way of contacting him?
Mike Kabala 2016-04-22T17:00:35-04:00
I see a lot of people who are adopting the strategy of not playing any cards in the beginning to have more available for the end game. In general I agree with that, but if I find myself early on with the Cat Butt card and one or more steal cards, I will use those ASAP to have a better chance of stealing a Defuse card.
I also like playing Cat Butt right before a Triple Slap to send my opponent scattering to try to find nis Defuse card in time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-22T17:11:54-04:00
@CB: I would think the Cat Butt card would be better spent when an opponent doesn't have a whole lot of cards in his hand. That way, you stand a better chance of stealing his diffuse card as oppose to just a regular card.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T18:16:26-04:00
I keep my hand in a certain order and mostly remember exactly what I have and where, so Cat Butt wasn't a problem the one time I tried it. But then is it in the party pack? Because I've never seen it again.
`
CB, oh yeah, here, let me see if I can just put it up on facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php…
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T18:17:42-04:00
I don't even remember waking up to an alarm and turning it off. I just straight up slept until 5 instead of 3.
`
So, guys, are we gonna have a Corps game some set time tonight?!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T18:41:42-04:00
OOOOH!!! My rustles have been jimmied!
Got in a game, one guy ticked me off by stealing like 4 cards from me in a row, so I set out to kill him primarily. Easy since the other players all sucked and were out instantly. He had so many cards, almost half from me, but to the end, I got another defuse and 5 attacks! So He had to take 11 TURNS! 11! Somehow, though, the only other last card was an ATTACK!
GOD! F**********! ************************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of that I had to take the 10 more turns. Are you kidding me, game?! Why would you give me the perfect revenge setup and then do that?!
CB- I agree- as soon as I have a cat butt and some steals- I use it. I've had them take from me too soon. Or if you wait too long, and people no longer have their defuse- it may not do much.
I was just playing Elan again, and it was going well, but I totally zoned out and drew a card- despite only 4 left in the pile and no more defuses for me! Such a stupid mistake
@Zem- that's why I love this game. You may think you've got it made, or may lose quick- things turn around so fast!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T19:01:34-04:00
Most of the time I really don't mind, and just take the kitten with honor and sit there until it goes off (any word on if they'll let you skip the waiting and maybe tap the kitten to just set it off now?), but that game ticked me off. That entire scenario was BS.
I mean, like now, it's come down to the last few cards between me and another person for 3 games in a row now, and I always lose somehow.

Hehe, I was just wondering if I could actually make that work! Oh my gosh, I think it actually did!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T19:58:04-04:00
NOOOO! When it uploaded, it changed the length of the rows just enough to mess it up! Aw man!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T19:59:08-04:00
If you're on a computer, though, I found you can just change the width of the window until it matches up right.
CLOSE ENOUGH!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T22:09:36-04:00
Nope. Refreshed my computer and still hitting "comments" doesn't refresh it. You guys having the same problem? It's not working for me on any kickstarter page.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-22T22:14:11-04:00
I forget, is Elan "B"? Isn't that his name on the Slack? I don't know why it is, but I think that's it, isn't it?
If so, I just played him and got knocked out early in the game due to utter BS. Not even a jerk player, really, just stupidity and BS. Darn, I was hoping to beat him!
And he's wearing a "I love bffs" shirt. I tweeted a pic of the screen shot when I played him. It's on the kitten corps twitter
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-23T01:55:54-04:00
Damn, so close! Oh well, that's what I thought, but I also thought I remembered B being attributed to Elan by someone here at some point a long time ago.
`
I didn't see that picture somehow! Also, while I'm sure he does indeed love BFFs, I think his shirt says "BEES". ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-23T01:56:41-04:00
I kinda want to play a round, but I have somewhere to be in the morning. Dang it, I need to sleep!
Hehe. When Captain Kirk is rolling around all night in bed, does he yell
"KHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN'T SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!"?! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-23T14:50:29-04:00

Well, Creeper, seems you're a very special recurring guest on a very special extra long AZAD/NS telethon!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-23T19:19:25-04:00

I rate it 13/17.

Just watched "Er Ist Wieder Da!", or "Look Who's Back!". For seeming like such a dumb idea, it was a surprisingly amazing film! I actually loved it! Really funny at parts, and it had its moments, also with a surprisingly motivational message. All I really got out of it is that Hitler is the stereotypical Everyman! ;)

Another quarter of a day on top of that! I wonder if anyone will read any of these? It looks like spam, but I'm averaging like one comment every 4-6 hours or so.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-24T23:38:15-04:00
Hi, Zem. Hope you're having a good weekend.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T01:19:00-04:00
Hi, CB. Also, if you read any of my past comments, you'd know. Basically, nobody being here was one of the most eventful parts of the weekend. Seriously! Since friday, the only person here was Creeper with 3 batches of 2 comments, now you!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-25T03:40:08-04:00
Morning kittens.
I had a good weekend. A card game on Saturday and a book Fair that was more fun than I thought it would be. The weather was great both days and will reach the mid 80's this week. I need to break out my flip flops
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T09:55:38-04:00
Alright everyone, what are your excuses for leaving me completely unattended this weekend? Creeper was the only one to stop by, much more often than normal, even! Y'all should get your pay docked for shoddy attendance.
@Geist: Mine wasn't too bad. Went and saw The Jungle Book on Saturday. We tried to go for the 8pm showing, but we could only get seats in the front three rows. So we ended up going for the 9:40pm showing. The movie itself wasn't bad. But the ending is nowhere near what the original animated films ending was. And I can't recall the ending for the book itself, so I can't say if it was accurate to that.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-25T12:18:59-04:00
@Geist, it was good, nothing too special. We had a really good band practice on saturday. Got the house relatively clean, got some minis painted. Yeah, it was good. ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T13:37:57-04:00
GM, don't tempt me! ;)
Well, I guess I got my bonus for being here all weekend: a 20+ comment bonus. I commented like a normal weekend, i.e. once every 3 hours at the shortest.
`
Hoo boy, and so it begins. A final tomorrow morning for lab, mostly taken from quizzes in the labs (which our section didn't get all of yet as well as we took 2 labs per week, but the exam is only over things the 1/week sections did). Going to meet with my lab group later to study. We're all crashing and burning together now.
Someone just glitched the EK game. They drew an kitten, for the second time, and it's been almost 2 minutes with it sitting on them NOT exploding them.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T14:06:28-04:00
That happened to me too once, GM. We all just quit. The person with the kitten can't do anything because the screen that comes up disables the "leave game" button.
Yet another reason they should add a feature to just tap the kitten or timer and explode already so if you don't have a defuse you don't end up just sitting there for so long waiting for nothing.
You can always use the "Back" button on your phone to leave it. At least, on Android. If I'm not mistaken, there is no "back" button on the actual iPhone, it's only on the app. The best you can do on iPhone is close the app.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T14:43:41-04:00
I keep forgetting "Comments" doesn't refresh this page! I hate it! I hope I'm the only one having this trouble; I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Even after restarting my computer, checking the site, everything. Doesn't work on any kickstarter.
`
Is that in case of the glitch? Yeah, it sucks. I hope they get that bug fixed.
If you just mean for people leaving the game willy nilly, though... I hate those jerks.
(yeah, like that Zem guy one time when he realized there was nothing left to do, he was out, and he just left to save time of waiting for the bomb to go off! F*** that guy!) Yeah, I've done it occasionally, but since learning it's a problem, I stopped. Still, I hate waiting like 10 seconds for it to finally explode. You should be able to push a button and get it over with quicker.
Either in case of the glitch, or if you don't want to waste other peoples time due to you being out of a defuse, and having a kitten on you trying to blow up.
I've left a game after getting blown up, but never while being blown up. Still, that's why we beta test. I have faith that the development team will get it figured out so that it doesn't crash a game in progress if somebody leaves too soon.
@CB: I typically leave after being blown up, unless it's really close to the end of the deck, then I stay until the bitter end. I only leave while being blown up if it's ridiculously early in the game.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T19:11:07-04:00
I leave after being exploded, of course, unless it's right at the end of an interesting game. But just leaving out of nowhere is rarely a cool thing to do and can be annoying.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-25T20:58:55-04:00
Blarg! I don't want to read all of the comments. The cat butt messses up the order of your cards.
Also, Bella told someone on Slack that we're the official fan club.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T21:06:00-04:00
It won't load, LZ. I can't see it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-25T23:02:20-04:00
Now it says the site is down for maintenance, so that could be why.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-26T00:12:17-04:00
It loaded for me.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-26T00:14:05-04:00
Now, I just realized that it posted the whole album, instead of one picture. Some of those pictures are pretty offensive if you don't know the context. The offensive ones were for Photoshop contests on cracked.com
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-26T07:48:50-04:00
It loaded for me just now. That's cool! Then went over and saw the conversation. Kinda want to join in, but then I won't be able to participate like at all today.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate argumentative people? I know I gave you that approved form, because I had two copies. One for AP, one for the benefits coordinator. Don't tell me I didn't give it to you.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-26T11:58:18-04:00
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate when people play their music too loud at home? There is absolutely no reason why people need to play music at level 11 outside of a wedding party.
Squeee! Just played Elan!!! and WON! hahaha
Woo! Finally got to try out the expansion!
First thoughts: That Sneak Attack card I made makes the game really interesting!
Second thoughts: Wait, when you steal, the new cards look different on the back, like they're brighter. That makes a major advantage when you're stealing because you know which ones are from which deck! It's an unfair advantage.
I couldn't download hockeyapp to play the beta. I was going to look back into it now, but it just didn't work. Hope I can get it figured out.
I uploaded a picture of the Sneak Attack cards to the Slack #thecrate page if you're on there.
Oh yeah, don't know if it was already said here, but RIPrince. Or should I say... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/af/Prince_logo.svg/870px-Prince_logo.svg.png
With HockeyApp to play the beta, it says "Download", you press that, it downloads, then it says "Install the downloaded package."
Where do you go to install downloaded things? I can't find that.
Nevermind, got that figured out, but how do you get the invite? In my profile on the app, it says I have none.
Is anyone up for a game on the regular app tonight? I'll check into the room between games.
Dude- Zem... you buried the lead. I played Elan tonight! and won!
I'm off now, but if you want to, just comment here and I'll check in as often as I can remember, so maybe once every youtube video, so on average once every 10 minutes.
Come on guys, you're making me look like a spammer!
Don't worry, Creeper, I saw that! Also, your comment didn't come up until now somehow!
`
Just played a ton more with my roommate and a friend. Everyone LOVES the expansion and thinks the two Sneak Attack cards are perfect! Try it yourselves!
Also, I would say no more than two sneak attacks because it's so powerful. Two is perfect, though.
So I slept through all of you being on here [yesterday]... oh geez, it's not even a sarcastic yesterday, it's 5 am! So, I slept through the busy part yesterday, now you're all sleeping through my time on here?! I should have been spamming the AZANS button ALL night long!
Though this means you should start getting back on soon. About the time I leave for donuts and then classes... like normal.
Wow, nobody here yet? I'm usually not the first person here, and I wake up at 7:30 two days a week.
Wow! Still nobody here? What do I pay you people for?!
Seriously, though, when I'm not on, you guys are buzzing around all morning this early. Today must be saturday and I got the dates mixed up. Ooh, please say it's saturday already!
Morning kittens!
Morning. I feel like a zombie. Been at work for 1.5 hours already. I didn't sleep well after the migraine last night, either.
Morning kittens.
I'm finding that almost nobody on the app has any strategy whatsoever. They defuse the cat, then put it right on top, not even thinking about possibly placing in a different spot.
Morning LZ- sorry about the migraines... Those are awful. :( hope you start to feel better today.
And GM- agreed. Or people are starting to leave the game when they get attacked. I've stayed in all the games- and it's amazing how fast it can turn around!
The pain is gone. Now I'm just dead tired.
I've also noticed the lack of strategy.
Bella has said they have plans for people who quit the game early.
GM, the worst thing is that you don't have a wide variety of options, so when your turn rolls around, if it's not already drawn, it's either within see the future range, guessing about the next one or two past that range, or on the bottom.
One time I even used the bottom to my advantage, drew the kitten, defused, and threw it at a person who couldn't avoid it! If you ask me, though, it was *totally* deliberate! ;)
`
But yeah, the strategy of most people online is that of a 7 year-old. It's not even fair most of the time. Really, it's just plain annoying.
`
Ooh, LZ, what kind of plans? Because 80% of the time they leave early, it's just giving up and ducking out as the bomb hits them.
`
Also, I'm tired as well, but for me it's because I've been up for exactly 21 hours straight now. I got a ton of sleep yesterday if you read that, but I'll nap this afternoon and be golden.
I would think one way to avoid that is - if they duck out more than once, they might have a time penalty... can't play the game again for a set amount of time. I had a nother game that did that.
Also- people that play all their cards at the start. I hoard mine until I no longer have a defuse.
oh snap...just stole someone's diffuse with a blind cat butt!
I'm the same way as you Creeper. I hoard my cards until I need to start using them, or in retaliation to someone hitting me with something.
Yeah, I love when someone plays all their cards when there's only a 12% chance of kittens, so you just steal their last two cards and then set them up to die. Attack them when you know a kitten or two are on top.
I almost always have "Card Collector" at the end of a game.
Anyone up for a game right now?! Creeper? I'll wait in the designated room for awhile now!
I've won with being the most attached, card hoarder, and the defuse master.
attacked*
Overly attached player? ;)
`
Also, Creeper, limited time offer. I can only be on for 15 more min. right now, so really only able to start a game for 5 or so!
Aaw, dang it! Too late, noob! I wanted to play you! Oh well, I'll probably be on later today some time.
We should set up a Corps game time! Say, something like 6 central, or whenever we can agree on!
I may go crazy by the end of today....all I'm doing is listening to Webinars to get my hours for continuing education, and filing....this is going to be a LONG day. Not to mention I don't know what I'm having for lunch.
I know what I'm having for lunch.
... sleep. Just a nap, but necessary nonetheless. I was very nearly nodding off through the first half of chem lecture just now before it got interesting only to find out I didn't even need to actually go there in the first place. I could already have napped! The injustice!
Nothing like there being ~30 cards left in the deck, and only two people left alive. Using party pack at that.
I may have just played a beta iOS game with The Oatmeal! He changed his avatar name right before the game started though.
"I uploaded a picture of the Sneak Attack cards to the Slack #thecrate page if you're on there."
Can I see this if I missed the crate? (You know I'm jealous of you all!)
Hello kittens.
Re: Game strategy
When I first started playing, I was emptying my hand well before the game was done. Now, since they have the percentage timer, I hoard my cards so that when I'm attacked, I can fight back. I like the Cat Butt/Steal Cards combo. It's a great way to get an extra defuse card.
I'm fond of diarrhea + cat butt + multiple steals.
I'm fond of using the Diarrhea(however many needed) + Slap/Reverse/Skip. And I'm also fond of putting the cat I just defused onto the bottom of the deck.
Zem, I don't know what kind of plans are in store. Bella only said that they have plans.
Well, as usual Kickstarter is no help in getting the entire content stream like General Calculus was somehow able to do. Does he ever visit here any more? Does anyone have a way of contacting him?
I see a lot of people who are adopting the strategy of not playing any cards in the beginning to have more available for the end game. In general I agree with that, but if I find myself early on with the Cat Butt card and one or more steal cards, I will use those ASAP to have a better chance of stealing a Defuse card.
I also like playing Cat Butt right before a Triple Slap to send my opponent scattering to try to find nis Defuse card in time.
@CB: I would think the Cat Butt card would be better spent when an opponent doesn't have a whole lot of cards in his hand. That way, you stand a better chance of stealing his diffuse card as oppose to just a regular card.
I keep my hand in a certain order and mostly remember exactly what I have and where, so Cat Butt wasn't a problem the one time I tried it. But then is it in the party pack? Because I've never seen it again.
`
CB, oh yeah, here, let me see if I can just put it up on facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php…
I don't even remember waking up to an alarm and turning it off. I just straight up slept until 5 instead of 3.
`
So, guys, are we gonna have a Corps game some set time tonight?!
OOOOH!!! My rustles have been jimmied!
Got in a game, one guy ticked me off by stealing like 4 cards from me in a row, so I set out to kill him primarily. Easy since the other players all sucked and were out instantly. He had so many cards, almost half from me, but to the end, I got another defuse and 5 attacks! So He had to take 11 TURNS! 11! Somehow, though, the only other last card was an ATTACK!
GOD! F**********! ************************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of that I had to take the 10 more turns. Are you kidding me, game?! Why would you give me the perfect revenge setup and then do that?!
CB- I agree- as soon as I have a cat butt and some steals- I use it. I've had them take from me too soon. Or if you wait too long, and people no longer have their defuse- it may not do much.
I was just playing Elan again, and it was going well, but I totally zoned out and drew a card- despite only 4 left in the pile and no more defuses for me! Such a stupid mistake
@Zem- that's why I love this game. You may think you've got it made, or may lose quick- things turn around so fast!
Most of the time I really don't mind, and just take the kitten with honor and sit there until it goes off (any word on if they'll let you skip the waiting and maybe tap the kitten to just set it off now?), but that game ticked me off. That entire scenario was BS.
I mean, like now, it's come down to the last few cards between me and another person for 3 games in a row now, and I always lose somehow.

Hehe, I was just wondering if I could actually make that work! Oh my gosh, I think it actually did!!!
NOOOO! When it uploaded, it changed the length of the rows just enough to mess it up! Aw man!
If you're on a computer, though, I found you can just change the width of the window until it matches up right.
CLOSE ENOUGH!
Nope. Refreshed my computer and still hitting "comments" doesn't refresh it. You guys having the same problem? It's not working for me on any kickstarter page.
I forget, is Elan "B"? Isn't that his name on the Slack? I don't know why it is, but I think that's it, isn't it?
If so, I just played him and got knocked out early in the game due to utter BS. Not even a jerk player, really, just stupidity and BS. Darn, I was hoping to beat him!
No- B is Bella. Elan will def say Elan.
And he's wearing a "I love bffs" shirt. I tweeted a pic of the screen shot when I played him. It's on the kitten corps twitter
Damn, so close! Oh well, that's what I thought, but I also thought I remembered B being attributed to Elan by someone here at some point a long time ago.
`
I didn't see that picture somehow! Also, while I'm sure he does indeed love BFFs, I think his shirt says "BEES". ;)
I kinda want to play a round, but I have somewhere to be in the morning. Dang it, I need to sleep!
Hehe. When Captain Kirk is rolling around all night in bed, does he yell
"KHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN'T SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!"?! ;)
Was surprised at first, but remembered it's saturday. Why are you guys never on on the weekend?

I think it worked this time!
`
Also, HOLY CRAP, PEOPLE!!! A day and a half with only two interjections from Creeper?! This does NOT count as spam after this amount of time.
Well, Creeper, seems you're a very special recurring guest on a very special extra long AZAD/NS telethon!
13/17 comments in over 24 hours now are me. That *might* be a little more than is typical, but really, not really.
I rate it 13/17.
`
And dang it! All and Self need to be pushed over just a few dots, and so does By! I'll get it eventually!
Day 2...
Still no sign of other hoomans since that one creeper with a taser left...
Merp.
Yeah- I don't know why I remembered bffs. That made. I sense anyway. G'night.
HUMAN CONTACT!!!
Good night!
`
Just watched "Er Ist Wieder Da!", or "Look Who's Back!". For seeming like such a dumb idea, it was a surprisingly amazing film! I actually loved it! Really funny at parts, and it had its moments, also with a surprisingly motivational message. All I really got out of it is that Hitler is the stereotypical Everyman! ;)
This... This is *literally* why I'm done with the internet for tonight! How do you top this?! This is perfect!http://9gag.com/gag/aDoqGQd
This All Zem All Day All Nite Show Marathon is a massive success!!! Nearly 2 full days straight!!!
Another quarter of a day on top of that! I wonder if anyone will read any of these? It looks like spam, but I'm averaging like one comment every 4-6 hours or so.
Hi, Zem. Hope you're having a good weekend.
Hi, CB. Also, if you read any of my past comments, you'd know. Basically, nobody being here was one of the most eventful parts of the weekend. Seriously! Since friday, the only person here was Creeper with 3 batches of 2 comments, now you!
Morning kittens.
I had a good weekend. A card game on Saturday and a book Fair that was more fun than I thought it would be. The weather was great both days and will reach the mid 80's this week. I need to break out my flip flops
Alright everyone, what are your excuses for leaving me completely unattended this weekend? Creeper was the only one to stop by, much more often than normal, even! Y'all should get your pay docked for shoddy attendance.
Morning kittens.
@Zem: Can't dock pay that doesn't exist.
Morning kittens!
Morning you crazy Canadians. How was your weekend?
@Geist: Mine wasn't too bad. Went and saw The Jungle Book on Saturday. We tried to go for the 8pm showing, but we could only get seats in the front three rows. So we ended up going for the 9:40pm showing. The movie itself wasn't bad. But the ending is nowhere near what the original animated films ending was. And I can't recall the ending for the book itself, so I can't say if it was accurate to that.
@Geist, it was good, nothing too special. We had a really good band practice on saturday. Got the house relatively clean, got some minis painted. Yeah, it was good. ;)
GM, don't tempt me! ;)
Well, I guess I got my bonus for being here all weekend: a 20+ comment bonus. I commented like a normal weekend, i.e. once every 3 hours at the shortest.
`
Hoo boy, and so it begins. A final tomorrow morning for lab, mostly taken from quizzes in the labs (which our section didn't get all of yet as well as we took 2 labs per week, but the exam is only over things the 1/week sections did). Going to meet with my lab group later to study. We're all crashing and burning together now.
Someone just glitched the EK game. They drew an kitten, for the second time, and it's been almost 2 minutes with it sitting on them NOT exploding them.
That happened to me too once, GM. We all just quit. The person with the kitten can't do anything because the screen that comes up disables the "leave game" button.
Yet another reason they should add a feature to just tap the kitten or timer and explode already so if you don't have a defuse you don't end up just sitting there for so long waiting for nothing.
You can always use the "Back" button on your phone to leave it. At least, on Android. If I'm not mistaken, there is no "back" button on the actual iPhone, it's only on the app. The best you can do on iPhone is close the app.
I keep forgetting "Comments" doesn't refresh this page! I hate it! I hope I'm the only one having this trouble; I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Even after restarting my computer, checking the site, everything. Doesn't work on any kickstarter.
`
Is that in case of the glitch? Yeah, it sucks. I hope they get that bug fixed.
If you just mean for people leaving the game willy nilly, though... I hate those jerks.
(yeah, like that Zem guy one time when he realized there was nothing left to do, he was out, and he just left to save time of waiting for the bomb to go off! F*** that guy!) Yeah, I've done it occasionally, but since learning it's a problem, I stopped. Still, I hate waiting like 10 seconds for it to finally explode. You should be able to push a button and get it over with quicker.
Either in case of the glitch, or if you don't want to waste other peoples time due to you being out of a defuse, and having a kitten on you trying to blow up.
Hi guys!
Hola, Creeper! How's life?
Hi Creeper.
I've left a game after getting blown up, but never while being blown up. Still, that's why we beta test. I have faith that the development team will get it figured out so that it doesn't crash a game in progress if somebody leaves too soon.
@CB: I typically leave after being blown up, unless it's really close to the end of the deck, then I stay until the bitter end. I only leave while being blown up if it's ridiculously early in the game.
I leave after being exploded, of course, unless it's right at the end of an interesting game. But just leaving out of nowhere is rarely a cool thing to do and can be annoying.
Blarg! I don't want to read all of the comments. The cat butt messses up the order of your cards.
Also, Bella told someone on Slack that we're the official fan club.
I took a screenshot.

It won't load, LZ. I can't see it.
Now it says the site is down for maintenance, so that could be why.
It loaded for me.
Now, I just realized that it posted the whole album, instead of one picture. Some of those pictures are pretty offensive if you don't know the context. The offensive ones were for Photoshop contests on cracked.com
It loaded for me just now. That's cool! Then went over and saw the conversation. Kinda want to join in, but then I won't be able to participate like at all today.
@LZ: That's awesome!
We're official? Woohoo! I feel so special now.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate argumentative people? I know I gave you that approved form, because I had two copies. One for AP, one for the benefits coordinator. Don't tell me I didn't give it to you.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate when people play their music too loud at home? There is absolutely no reason why people need to play music at level 11 outside of a wedding party.
