The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!

[Procyonpi]

That's great. Among our cats is a pair of identical twins, and they're named "dx" and "dy" to differentiate them.

lol calc jokes.

[see]

Less than 14k now. Any bets on when it reaches the mil?

Five hours from this posting.

$70 Pledge Pack SOLD OUT again.

Less than 14k now. Any bets on when it reaches the mil?

Sometime in the next 3-4 hours, I reckon, depending on Pledge Spikes. So, say 4PM PST to 5PM PST (7PM EST - 8PM EST | Midnight GMT - 1AM GMT)?

D'awwww. How many do you have?

The reason we still have three cats is because those three are siblings we all found together. It stills feels impossible to think of them as two.

[Chess435]

Suddenly, 13k!

[MammonAzrael]

You know what I'd love to see as a Mystery prize/extra?

Haley actually getting her Gloves of Dexterity +6 in the comic. Either finding them or buying them the next time their in town with gold she acquired through Kickstarter. And perhaps she'll even replace the diamond on the cast page!

[sciencemile]

I won't be able to pledge anything to the kickstarter before it expires, but I'm definitely going to be buying each of the books once they start getting reprinted. (thus I consider myself a Second-Act supporter ;P)

[Tass]

Damn. I take a short break from refreshing and narrowly miss a sined book.

[Porthos]

UPDATE

Also, VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION for residents of Pennsylvania who have pledged:

If you live in the state of Pennsylvania, it would be helpful to me if you increased your pledge by 6% of your total to cover the state sales tax I will need to pay on your order. I didn't realize this until today, but there it is. I realize not everyone will necessarily notice this before the end of the drive; we'll be able to figure something out even if some of you miss it.

Also, if you are planning on asking for a Special Request:

Speaking of email: If you think you are going to need special changes to your pledge that require you to email me, the deadline for emails will be noon Monday (EST; 17:00 UTC). After that, I can't guarantee that I will get back to you before the end of the drive. Remember that you don't need to email me if you're adding an extra coloring book, a patch, the Sticky Shticks mini-expansion, or anything listed in your reward package as a potential add-on.

So take note for people this affects.

Calculus jokes. How derivative.

I'm sure somebody predicted this development with Belkar, but I didn't and I think it's hilarious.

[Gift Jeraff]

Wait, the 2/15 newspost implied 8 daily strips ("Three down, five to go."), but since this is extending to Wednesday, doesn't that mean 9? Maybe he made the old "Monday through next Tuesday is 8 days when it's actually 9 days" mistake. (People often forget to add +1 when it's inclusive.) Or am I the one making a mistake?

[squidbreath]

10k n 49....(whoo!)

[Timeless Error]

Only ten thousand left...

I didn't either, but it fits with his personality.

And I do think his big mouth has gotten him in trouble again.

<Risks talking about Comic Schedule>
He's behind by a day, stripwise. So to buy himself some time, he's giving himself 'till Wed to do the 8 strips in question.

And beyond that clarification, I don't think we should talk about it more, cause. well, you know.

He missed a strip a few days ago, was planning to do two the next day, did one the next day, and so is just going to do one for one day more. Same number, with a break of one day with no OoTS in between.

Oh Belkar, you diminutive dumbass.

That's my point. It adds up to 9 strips: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

[Darwyn]

Less than $10,000 to go......

[TinyMushroom]

Only 10K more.

we're going to do this.
we're going to make this happen.

[Porthos]

That's my point. It adds up to 9 strips: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

We'll just have to wait and see what he meant exactly by that. Personally, I'll be happy with whatever I get.

*looks around for something else to talk about*

LOOK ONLY 9.5 K TO GO TO 1 MILLION!!!!

*hopes like heck that works*

[Flame of Anor]

They also have one or two ideas for that series we cant mention on this board, they just want to wait till their kids grow up.

Aha, so will this be Gggodotphile?

D'awwww. How many do you have?

Six in the house. We only meant to have two, but my mother was taking care of a feral cat outside who then happened to have four kittens...

[SaintRidley]

That's my point. It adds up to 9 strips: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

It doesn't add up to nine because one of those days didn't get a strip (I think it was Thursday or Friday). He's adding Wednesday to keep the promise of eight strips.

Far as I can tell, anyway. Best not to keep on the subject.

[CoffeeIncluded]

$990,998. Almost there...

[squidbreath]

9k...12034 backers!

[new years isn't half the fun]

[Gwynfrid]

I have to say that what I truly enjoyed the most about this kickstarter was this thread and what I will coin as "The Ballad of the Rich Baker".

Same here. An exhilarating thread, with hilarious insider jokes to boot !

[TinyMushroom]

HOLY *BLEEP* ON A *BLEEP* SANDWICH!!!

I just refreshed and there was a THOUSAND dollar more than before.

[Unisus]

I wonder if there will be cool numbers like 999.999 or 1.000.000 shown - but i guess we will just break through the line at full speed...

[Procyonpi]

Damn. I take a short break from refreshing and narrowly miss a sined book.

you missed a book that was was the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse?
