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

[Elder Tsofu]

I must say that I've had to restrain myself from firing up a second account to grab some of the new rewards being offered.

It is hard.

My credit card is currently lying below one of those dog figurines which look up at you with big sad eyes.

Must...let...others..get...nice...stuff...tooooo.. .

*gnh*

[Binks]

I swore I wouldn't go above my previous pledge level (which was already 3 steps up from where I started out with just the print-only's) but I must admit, trying to get that last goal is worth another $5 in the pot. Come on...

Was tempted to grab one of those patience for a signed books ones, but I realized I would rather have the unsigned ones sooner than signed ones later. Guess I'm just not the kind of person who cares about signatures. Oh well, more for everyone else :P.

The $80 pledge says "251 backers (-1 of 250 remaining)"--how did that happen?

The magic of really fast clicking I suppose . That, and KS apparently doesn't have a properly synchronized check on these sorts of things. Tsk tsk tsk.

We broke Kickstarter. THAT'S how it happened.

[FatJose]

Yep, unless someone with $25,000 to spend ponies up in the next twenty minutes we are going to miss this last goal.

Quick, someone call Tim Schafer! I hear he has a couple of million just lying around.

Maybe if everyone watching this countdown pitches in a dollar...or two... Maybe..

The $80 pledge says "251 backers (-1 of 250 remaining)"--how did that happen?

Probably two people grabbed the last one simultaneously. At least it didn't crash Kickstarter.

[Hendel]

I just increased my pledge. We can all kick in just a little more in the next 12 minutes!

[honigmuffin]

As I promised, I'm here for MoonCat as well

Looks like in 12 minutes I'll actually have to study instead of watching the numbers. I don't really want this to end, it's so much fun

[Devonix]

quick question. the survay page where I had to post the want for a patch IS the page with the comic graphs right?

No; you'll be getting an e-mail asking for a shipping address and some other stuff, including any extras added to your chosen package; that's when you'll say you want a patch.

I added $3 to my pledge to make it an even $100.... my bank account is feeling lonely, but I think it's worth it.

[fergo]

New mega-prize at $4,000!

Just the sort of thing I was thinking he should offer. "Give me lots of money, and I'll give you something totally awesome! Once I think of something!"

EDIT: And someone took it! Ten grand to go!

[Zar Peter]

The $80 pledge says "251 backers (-1 of 250 remaining)"--how did that happen?

My fault. I upped out and two people simultanously grabbed my spot.

quick question. the survay page where I had to post the want for a patch IS the page with the comic graphs right?

No, you get an e-mail from Rich and his team after this insanity is over.

Aaanndd... there it goes.

[silversaraph]

New mega-prize at $4,000!

I find it a little hard to believe that even a die-hard OOTS fan would spend that much money in eight minutes deliberation...

Edit: Holy crap on a stick!

[Weimann]

It's taken... woah.

[Devonix]

didn't realize that I hadn't added the 7.00 for shipping well thats fixed now

[Crisis21]

$10,000 in 5 minutes...

Can we do it?

[Sorator]

Wow.

Can... can we get two more of those? We'll manage the other $2000 on our own, I think.

[The Derider]

But they did.

Edit: I posted too late. Wow, this is quite intense!

[Chess435]

$1.25 million!

[Edna]

Wow, I didn't think a last-minute $4,000 prize would go that quickly!

[Shreav]

I find it a little hard to believe that even a die-hard OOTS fan would spend that much money in eight minutes deliberation...

And yet ... there it went.

[Tanuki Tales]

Well, we got much closer than I thought we would.

Too bad we couldn't get an extra 30 minutes. We'd have hit it for sure.

[EmperorSarda]

Looks like we won't hit that last mystery prize. :(

[Devonix]

9 k in one min come on!!!

[tonberrian]

You know, if he puts 2 more ~$4000 prizes, we could make the 1.26 million mark.
