Heh. I'm a broke student. I'm just a broke Grad-student and as such don't count.

Oh, well. I didn't find it until it had run out anyway.

[RMS Oceanic]

Surprisingly enough, the BASS packages have sold out.

[MoonCat]

I managed to grab a Broke-ass student one, and I fit all the requirements. But then I realized that I can afford the other stuff for it's actual price, with the exception of the drawing, and I'd rather let someone else get a kickass drawing and let me get my swag in good conscience. So that should have a new opening now.

[CloakedDancer]

The new crayon party drawings are going fast, as expected.

[Connington]

Something I'm sure the Giant finds hilarious.

Yup. He mentioned on that GeekAcademia interview that he's slightly tired of being interviewed and talked about solely for how much money he's raising, as opposed to what that money is going to.

Anyways, now we have to worry about potentially not breaking through every goal. Terrifying!

[fergo]

Goddamnit, my broke-ass student ass was too slow . Would have been amazing...

Ah well .

[EmperorSarda]

Good thing he reminded us to make sure our credit card information was in order. I just had to cancel mine because the card number was used out of state. And also upped how much I pledge by $2 for the sake of it.

NO!! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I JUST chucked my student ID away. Goddamn it!

That was incredibly wonderful of you, MoonCat. I'm sure whoever snapped it up thanks you very much.

[fergo]

Here is my personal promise, which will only be taken back under extreme circumstances:

I will upgrade my pledge to include all of the colour books (as well as OtOoPCs, as I have previously pledged for) if and only if I complete my legal CV (which I have been putting off for far, far too long) tomorrow before the deadline, and actually hand my normal CV in to a certain local shop.

Put here as evidence, so I know if I miss my chance to get them all, it'll be my own bloody stupid fault .

[Skavensrule]

The Giant has updated!

Okay, in addition to the previous upgrades I made in my pledge I created a new account to get the game expansion as well. The really frustrating thing for me is that had I known that my car would sell prior to this ending I could have gotten the third "personalized story" that WampaX snatched up back on day 2. Oh those innocent days when we were worried that this project might not get a "second" book funded. We blew that goal out the water, got all 6 books funded, got larger print runs for the books, and then got even bigger printings needed. Insane, but cool.

Crossing fingers that we get to 2000%.

[MoonCat]

That was incredibly wonderful of you, MoonCat. I'm sure whoever snapped it up thanks you very much.

Eh, basic morals. Although I'm noticing my desire to punch myself in the head just went up a bit. Lot.

Just kidding. I like not being greedy.


Crossed fingers too. I really wanna hit and destroy all goals the Giant can give us.

We already defeated him are we trying to reduce him to -10 HP now?

[Porthos]

No, we're confirming the critical.

[Shonen Hero]

*sniff* MoonCat, you make me proud to be a part of the Chinook state. :')

Also, realized I could use a credit card to bolster my pledge for more insane prizes. I then slapped myself, and calmly put the credit cards away.

[Skavensrule]

I wonder if anyone bothered to warn Tim Schafer and those other guys at the Double Fine project there is a ticked off white dragon planning to ambush them.

[MammonAzrael]

No, we're confirming the critical.

What's the multiplier on obsessive fans? x20?

[Zid]

I just hope we havn´t overloaded Rich with work. He has an awful lot of extras, cartoons and strips to produce over the next few months.

[Shonen Hero]

What's the multiplier on obsessive fans? x20?

More like x13,000.

Speaking of, we are nearing 13,000 backers. Holy smokes, they're coming out of the woodworks now!

[MammonAzrael]

More like x13,000.

x20 would be 2,000% funded. 13,000 is the base damage.

EDIT: Also, only $3,040/hour to reach 2000%!

[Skavensrule]

More like x13,000.

We passed it in the time to make your post. 13,019 as of thirty seconds ago.

[Sethala]

Personally, I really hope we break the 1,140,000 line. I always thought having printout OotS-style minis would be cool ever since I read about him using them in the first book's commentary, and getting even more would be awesome. Just need to figure out how to transport them...

(And I would definitely buy more sheets of minis if Rich ever decided to make more and sell them.)

[Weimann]

On the one hand, I am a student. On the other, I'm 25 and a spoiler brat. So, yeah.

Although not spoiled enough to not suddenly realise that $675 is a hell of a lot of money. Damn it, but I think I'll have to sit out on the new Patience pack.

[Dr. Gamera]

I wonder if anyone bothered to warn Tim Schafer and those other guys at the Double Fine project there is a ticked off white dragon planning to ambush them.

Yes, a "Pedro Rosário Silva" said (with link), "3 days ago" at this point, in the Double Fine project comments: "Look out Tim! There's a dragon coming after you!"

Disclaimer: I am not Pedro Rosário Silva.

[MoonCat]

We already defeated him are we trying to reduce him to -10 HP now?

I wanna see what happens when we set a big messy pile of wax ON FIRE.

*sniff* MoonCat, you make me proud to be a part of the Chinook state. :')

Dooo it. Doooooo it. This is the only reason credit cards need to exist. Dooooo it.

I wonder if anyone bothered to warn Tim Schafer and those other guys at the Double Fine project there is a ticked off white dragon planning to ambush them.

I was hoping that their next update would end with them being attacked by a dragon, in order to reference it.

I just hope we havn´t overloaded Rich with work. He has an awful lot of extras, cartoons and strips to produce over the next few months.

See above comment. ON FIRE.

Article about the success of this drive over at Forbes.

That's Big Leagues right there.

You know what I think is hysterical? The author of that article points out why this drive and the other two $1 mil+ drives have been so successful, and then uses that as a basis to advise authors to do a bunch of stuff that those drives didn't do. (Rich doesn't have a Facebook, Twitter, or blog.) Great job of noticing success and completely missing what you can learn from it, heh.

[Shonen Hero]

Nah, I'm content to sit on my signed print-only pledge, and my game pledge. :P

Speaking of, those signed prints are going in mylar, backed with acid-protected cardboard, and in a fireproof box six feet underground. Only one of those was a joke.
