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

THE LAST MYSTERY PRIZE SHALL FOREVER REMAIN.... A MYSTERY!!!

Bet you we still get it.

[JCarter426]

Can't comment on Kickstarter either, and the comment tab lists different totals. I think we broke it.

[Uchiha Richard]

By the way, officially #2 on the Kickstarter Top Ten (for now)! Wikipedia's already been edited to reflect this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicksta...y_funds_raised

[giles_the_zog]

Well I expect zero sympathy, but....

...after several days offline organising a wargaming event, I logged on to make a modest pledge, only for the kick starter site to freeze, and 10 minutes later say I am too late (by 5 minutes).

I guess I won't be the only last minute person to have missed out.

So I guess the questions are:
(1) Can late comers such as I, add to the pledge ?
(2) If not, can we/will we, be able to pay through the nose for the extras ?

In desperate hope...

Second: I have a distinct impression that Rich will give us the last Mystery Prize regardless of this $6,5k we're lacking :)

[Porthos]

Sorry Porthos, but its that the last Mystery Prize will not be revealed that is disappointing.

Now you see, maybe The Giant will be a benevolent and mercifiul tyrant.

What I'll need to know is what the Mystery Prize to the $4K backer is.

[Smolder]

F5 camping worked out pretty well for me.

I got the impatient signed set and a patient crayon drawing, which works out great for me because I have no idea which characters to pick. There are so many great characters to choose from that I'll end up kicking myself when I think of a better combo...

[Chess435]

Is it just me, or are posts spontaneously rearranging themselves every time I refresh?

[peshk]

ok, so I'm not the only one who got kicked by kickstarter. And I think now we broke giantitp ^^

THE LAST MYSTERY PRIZE SHALL FOREVER REMAIN.... A MYSTERY!!!

But still, 1.25 Million dollars! You deserve every penny Giant. Your strip is both entertaining and engaging, an inspiration to indepedant artists and authors everywhere (like me!). Hope you keep going for another 20 years, at least!

Also can't wait to get my hands on the game expansions!!!

We are awesome.

Second: I have a distinct impression that Rich will give us the last Mystery Prize regardless of those $6,5k we're lacking ;) (I surely hope he will )

Rich :)

Post the update please so I can go to bed... (stayed up all night for the fun of it)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Tet!

[DiMono]

I think Kickstarter choked under the sheer amount of us that descended, and the number of backers we had. I still haven't received my "congratulations, the project was funded!" email from them, and my credit card has yet to be charged.

I really hope everything still goes off as expected.

[Alorha]

Well, since the thread at KS died, I had to create an account here. Probably should have done so quite some time ago

[Chess435]

I think this thread's broken now...

[titan_monarch]

The comment page on KS is officially broken for me. Says I'm not logged in, and is stuck several minutes behind. Is anyone else experiencing something similar right now, or is it just me at this point?

Oh good, it's not just me then. It jumps back from 1254120 to 1253509 and "seconds remain...", and logs me out. I can't log back in from there, I just get a "we apologise" message. When I go back to project home or update, I get the right (hopefully) total and show up logged in. Same for everyone else?

[peshk]

I think we broke this site, too.
At least it took me several minutes to post this ^^

And yes, Kickstarter kickes me, too, if I want to see the comments.

[Porthos]

Yes! Exactly what I wanted to hear.

Looks like they're doing it in order of Backer Number, maybe?

[I Participated]

Oi! Which one of you shut down Kickstarter coz you knew I'd put off joining the forum until I had my piccie to share?!

Well played. sir. Well played indeed.

[Chess435]

Update! Looks like we are getting that mystery prize after all!

[Carla]

I think besides the success of the project, Rich also has a bunch of new forumites...myself included. :) So...will Kickstarter become fixed enough so that Rich can give us our last update?

[Crisis21]

Achievement Unlocked: Move the line! (Mystery Prize 9/10 achieved)

[Gullintanni]

What a ride. Thanks Rich! It's been a blast. Same time next year

[Weimann]

Woo, my payment went through! *cheers*

[DiMono]

Looks like they're doing it in order of Backer Number, maybe?

Maybe. I know I haven't gotten one yet, and I was pretty early on; like within the first two days. Maybe order of last amount update? That would put me pretty late on both my accounts.

[CloakedDancer]

Is it just me, or are posts spontaneously rearranging themselves every time I refresh?

Oh trust me: it's not just you.

[Kaurne]

I've lurked on here for a long time, posting very infrequently - in fact I've doubled my postcount simply by asking questions in this thread.

And I just want to say, Giant

Thank You.

Thank you for every time I've come home to find a new comic to cheer me up. Thank you for all those enjoyable hours I've spent reading the archives instead of doing work. Thank you for every silly moment, every fantastic joke, every bit of clever wordplay, every pun that made me cringe.

Thank you for every bit of deadpan snark from Roy, every bit of unadulterated greed from Haley, every bit of boundless optimism from Elan, every bit of magical arrogance from Vaarsuvius, every bit of dour Dwarfishness from Durkon, every bit of amusing psychopathy from Belkar and every bit of incredible, mad, hilarious evil from Xykon.

And thank you for those rare moments when the group gets over their collective squabbles, or a character gets over their personal issues, and they prove that, despite the character flaws, the difficulties with alignment and their utter unsuitability for the job, the Order is a group of true heroes. Thank you for those awesome moments.

Thank you for every minute of time you have put into this labour of love of yours. Many times I have asked myself how one manages to do what you do, and I have never come up with a satisfactory answer. I simply can't understand how you do it - but I don't mind, because I know you will still do it, and in a few days I'll have another strip to read, and laugh at, and be amazed by.

Thank you.
