    So awesome how well this thing ended. Got a laugh out of the remark about destroying F5 keys everywhere. :D


    I put in $658.26 myself to get the ornaments, every book, the game with expansion, the sticky cards, and the patch, on top of all the other free stuff coming with this. Plus 6% tax since I'm in PA.

    No idea how long it'll take to come in, but it'll be awesome once it does. :D

    There's an element of joking to it. Mostly, I'm taken with the timing and willing to attribute more to our powers over the internet because it makes our legend even greater.

    I'm willing to sacrifice reality for the sake of awesome, in other words.

    Well played, sir. Well played.
    Rules that supersede Rule 0:

    Rule -1: You're all there to have fun. The GM and the players should never do anything that would limit people's fun, for any in-game or real-life reason.

    Rule -0.5 (corollary): That means that if someone's fun is getting in the way of other people's fun, that person needs to change how they're playing.

    By the way, pledges #2 and #3 went through just fine, albeit very belated. Whew.
    (I wanted to report back earlier, but now that the Kickstarter is over, I have time to watch other things than the numbers. I got distracted by Green Mile on TV )

    And now begins the waiting. Let's see: #2 and #3 are slated for April, but both of them have the Sticky Shticks mini-expansion (one for a friend), so they might take until May (or June, I guess, but I think it'll be May). #1 is a Patience pledge, so I'll expect it as a Christmas present from my awesome (and broke) past self.
    Ooh, that'll be tough. But the digital rewards will be well distributed during the wait for the parcels to arrive, I guess, so I'll manage

    Yeah, outside of a couple of people so far, I've been very heartened to hear that most people have had their pledges cleared. Hopefully that's a good sign for the people who were worried that things wouldn't clear properly.

    Actually, we did break something on Kickstarter.
    The comments page was frozen at a different number than the main page and no new comments were showing up when I was refreshing it.

    It was strange . . . like everything slowing down in the final seconds of a race.

    My thanks to:

    Rich Burlew, for your amazing vision that has allowed us to see into your world of imagination for these brief glimpses. For your hard work in drawing these comics for the last 9 years. (and don't pay any attention to the whiners that claim what you do is just stick figures, any real artist will say the hardest part is getting the idea from your head out into the world) The method you use is wonderful and we here on these forums appreciate every bit of it.

    The Mods, current and former, for keeping these forums running and stopping trolls/spammers/flamethrowers and just plain jerks from ruining it for the rest of us. And WampaX, thanks for your recent postings in this thread, been wonderful to read.

    Everyone who has participated in this KickStarter, from the people who could only donate a dollar all the way up to whoever grabbed the cameo for $5000 (lucky dog) You have provided as much entertainment watching the lines go up as the comic itself.

    Everyone who has been posting here on this thread, (which will probably be shut down soon for exceeding size limits by an ungodly factor) Again reading all the comments has been a riot.

    Every fan of OotS past and present, for supporting The Giant in this for so long so he never gave up. I think I first heard about OotS back in 2004 but never started to read it myself until 2006, and did not really start to get into it until late in 2007. If not for you guys this would have simply been one more webcomic where I saw that (gee, no updates in months/years, I'll skip this one).

    Ookoodook for bringing us the wonderful (dead tree) versions of this.

    And I guess KickStarter can get some thanks as well for allowing Rich to find the means to (reprint one book) yeah right!

    Last of all, anyone I missed give yourselves a pat on the back cause I'm going to sleep in the hope that by the time I wake up in the morning my other account will have the money taken out.

    I feel like doing a happy dance through the house that it worked out for almost everyone, and I'm sure any problems will be resolved or worked around if there's ever the need to do another OotS Kickstarter, I guess our positive experiences might convince even more people to participate. Wohoo! \o/

    That was probably the best experience I have ever had on the Internet. Rich could have sold tickets just to be allowed to pledge.

    So instead maybe: Same Time, Next Year?

    Anyone know when we will get the pdfs and such? No need to rush(unlike the last part of the drive) but just curious.

    The mind boggles, truly... that's as much as the first 5 days, right?



    So another side analysis: assuming everything from $850,000 onwards is surplus to requirements, that leaves Rich with $400,000. Subtract 15% for misc transaction costs (kickstarter, amazon, sales taxes), that's still $340,000. Let's say half of that will be used to cover the costs of the rewards for that final $400,000, Rich gets somewhere in the neighbourhood of $170,000.

    At 30% tax that leaves around $120,000 in income for Rich from this drive, above and beyond everything else getting produced.

    Now: anyone around here know yacht prices? after all this stuff is sorted, I hope he takes a very long holiday to enjoy himself for once!

    Rich has to get a chance to make them first, so probably not any time very soon.

    I followed the Kickstarter from day one and got dragged in more and more the higher the line went. It was good to be part of this!

    Thanks for the Kickstarter and for the comic which has been on my morning list of sites to visit for a long time (should really get my old emails from around 2003-2004 to see when a friend pointed me to the comic).

    Money is taken out of the account and I am happily waiting for the goodies to come in their own time.

    iirc the earliest expected delivery time on the pledges was April... so probably not until then. A month at least - for the amount of goodies we're getting, that's hardly anything!

    I was at my girlfriend's. I received a SMS. I looked at it and it said Kickstarter had successfully debited my card for X money. I started laughing happily. She looked at me like I was crazy.

    True story.

    FANTASTIC article from Publishers Weekly about the completion of the drive.

    Quite possibly the best one I've read so far about it.

    And one of the best comments by SarahV posted on the article.

    As I posted at KS, we didn't just participate, we helped. We helped Rich, we helped each other, we helped others help others.

    With surpassing the target number by 20 times, there should be enough money to get all the books back into print. And that still would probably leave more than half the money over.
