Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I just hope the coloring book won't change shipping costs. War and XPs + Snips fits into a $10 (international) envelope, but supposedly not much more, as two of the compilation books already require a box... but I suppose they will at least ask if it would increase the shipping cost.

Elan and Thog starring in a colouring book? I don't know if Mystery Prize #4 could beat that.

And we're at page 60. I'm surprised the mod SWAT team hasn't come in and shut this thread down yet to make a new one.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Okay, I missed a a couple of data points so my new chart is jumping straight to 6,040 backers. I really wish there was some way to reliably get a measurement at even points, but that's just my OCD talking

No Level: 50 (0.82% of backers)
Above Level: $52,372 (12.3% of funds)
Not surprisingly, there's a lot of big differences from the last one. A few points which stood out to me:
- The $222 level now accounts for an astonishing quarter of all funds gathered from the pledge drive, even counting above-level pledges. It is also the 3rd most popular level, and almost $200 more than either of the levels above it ($25 and $10).
- The percentage of backers selecting no reward level has almost doubled; I never can figure out where these guys come from.
- The percentage of funds pledged above level has been steadily going down since the beginning, and this trend is continued here. I think a factor is that the $222 level is so popular and there's basically nothing to add to it.
- The percentage of backers at the base $10 level has also been steadily going down, and for percentage of funds it has been overtaken my most of the other popular categories.
- The $67 Print-only Special level remains the most popular mid-range workhorse category, although it has actually been passed by the Whole Run for total number of backers.
- The average pledge not counting the top 9 backers is ~$68.50.
- The $25 art print level is more popular than I expected, with about 1 out of every 6 people who pledged going for that level.
Apparently the siren call of a complete collection of books in one go is hard for many people to resist; I should know
Something which I do find interesting is that there haven't been any new rewards added which generated a new level or required most people to up their pledges for over $100,000, yet the funds continue to pour in at the same rate. Although the fact that the latest rewards are tied to a book or art print level may have something to do with the recent surge of $25 pledges.
...After previewing the post for error checking, I noticed that apparently I've missed an update. So expect everything above to be quite possibly out of date by the time you read it.
PS: Does anybody know a way to get the forum to recognize text which is already in bold when copied in? I do these tables in Word and then copy paste them with the correct formatting, but I have to add the bold tags manually, which is annoying.
EDIT: Does anybody else think we'll be past $500,000 well before Rich updates again?Last edited by Exediron; 2012-02-03 at 05:14 PM. Reason: Added comments on update

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
And as of this recent update, I am now receiving two colouring books.
Obviously my only option at this point is to have a child with someone so I can pass on the colouring book. Don't suppose there's any lonely hearts out there...
I'm keeping the second colouring book for myself, naturally.

I meant in a single glance.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thoroughly enjoying the bit, but having to scroll through multiple pages to see it is sort of like reading a physical comic and having to try to look at three different pages at the same time.

I was probably way more excited about the coloring book than a person my age should be. Eh, I don't care.

Dropped $36 on it, thought I'd re-reg with the forums. It's about time I put some money towards something I've loved for a long time.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Nitpick: 100 more copies of SS&DT were made available overnight.
And, yes, I am quite sure that upgrading from $10/$14 to $25/$26 is driving a lot of the money. The Art Print, for instance, was around the mid 400s before the update path appeared, and now it is nearly double that (mid 800s).Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

Is there a list of what the rewards everyone is getting are? I've lost track of what I'll actually be receiving in the mail/online.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
What are you talking about? Sure, at first people get less interested in coloring as they grow older, but they hit the lowest point somewhere around 12 (it varies quite a bit) and then coloring becomes more and more fun again. Most people I know love coloring, even the ones who haven't noticed that it's cool again and are trying to keep it secret.

@factotum: He tried to do that back when there were only about two books getting reprinted. He'd have changed it to something more like "select a book", but he can't alter existing pledges.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
For Christmas this year, a bunch of family colored and cooked shrinky-dink ornaments. They were from like the 80s, and were found in the bottom of a drawer at my wife's grandmother's house. It was a blast! The youngest person at the table was 17, and the next youngest was 34. So yeah, a bunch of adults coloring shinky-dinks.
Speaking of which, I would take OotS shrinky-dinks!

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I did notice the SS&DT increase, but the extra 47 backers only accounted for about 1.5k. Looking at this chart vs. the last one, I notice that the number of $14 backers actually went down, which adds some strength to the theory that a lot of them defected to one of the base levels to get the new reward. It's harder to keep track of the $10 level since so many people are always joining it.
Thanks! I don't usually post on forums using this code system, so I'm pretty bad at it. Having seen how to do that I'll probably make the rest of my tables that way to begin with
EDIT: Didn't someone post a table of the different pledge levels and their associated rewards a while back? I can't seem to locate it right now, but I'm pretty sure it was there.Last edited by Exediron; 2012-02-03 at 05:48 PM. Reason: Added another reply

Question about fundraiser shwag
Ok, maybe I'm missing something. Maybe this has an answer already that I missed. I can't figure out how to e-mail Rich.
There are some bonus fundraiser items, such as the stickers and coloring book, being given away when you buy a book. I already have all of the books and just want some the shwag. Will these be available for individual purchase?"Be brave Tula and one day you too will be free!"
