    So what do we need for the top 4?

    In other news, If we can maintain an average of $1567 per hour for the next 108 hours, we will break a million after all

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

    Woohoo, top 5!

    Question - I saw there's an option to buy an extra coloring book. Is there an similar option to buy extra OOTS Hit Point Pads?

    If so, how much extra do I pledge for each?

    If not, how much begging is required to make it so?

    Part of the problem is that he spends so much time crafting a graph, expecting it to take us more than a day to top, and then we crush it before he can even post it.

    Like a DM who spends hours writing notes on a small town that the players burn down in 5 minutes.

    At the beginning of the drive, we should have made Rich promise to do something completely ridiculous, like cosplay as Tsukiko, or post a video of his best dancing on Youtube, if we managed to raise a million.

    My estimate from the start is that the Kickstarter pledge drive would get somewhere just over one million. Right now I estimate between 1.1 and 1.2 m.

    I saw the news of the Kickstarter over 12 hours after it started... too late to put it over the top. I'll be jumping in on the last day in hopes that others are waiting for the end as well... and we'll see it pass the Million Mark. Of course, I'll have to keep an eye on the thing every day in case we get really close before that.

    Don't want to miss it again!

    I still have to figure out how to 'over-donate'. I really only want the Art Prints, Patch and .pdf swag, but I want to donate north of a couple hundred bucks. I wonder if I can add $200 for 'buy yourself a Cintiq'?

    The easiest way to do it is to pledge by clicking the level you want (so $25 if you want the art print/swag) and go to the next page. You then raise the amount pledged at the top of that page to whatever you want. When the drive is over, Rich will send you a survey, where you will say what extra stuff you bought (i.e. patch).

    I believe there will be a write-in-answer where you can say that you raised the amount intentionally for that purpose; though I don't know if Rich would use the money as such. Can't hurt to try though!

    Find a friend who has a suitable credit card, ask him to open an Amazon Payment account and a Kickstarter account, and pledge for you. Don't forget to give him the money.

    Seriously, I had a similar problem, so I asked around, I contacted Rich and Amazon Payments, and it turned out that this was the only solution. Good luck!

    Visa, Mastercard etcetera have (in my country The Netherlands), you can get a prepaid credit-card. You put money on it from your bank account and from there it works just like a normal card (though you should not spend more money than that's on there since that's impossible). It works for me, I've got one of 100 euros and (prepaid) Visa is accepted by Amazon Payments

    Prepaid Visa cards don't work for all countries, though. With only 4 days left, I'd say it's much safer for Fanta to find someone with a credit card, which is guaranteed to work, rather than get a prepaid card only to find out that it's not accepted after all.

    That's why said Visa or Mastercard, those need to be accepted by Amazon (since they are normal Visa/Mastercard cards). Those two brands are for certain accepted, if they do not exist in her country finding a friend for sure is the best option.

    Looking at Kickstarter's Wiki Page, to overtake numbers 4 and 3 on the all time top ten will require $938,771 and $942,578 respectively. At $836,055, that would mean raising another $106,523 in three and a bit days.

    Unless Rich reveals something amazing for the weekend to chew over, I don't think we can make it now. It looks like we'll have to be content with being number 5. Fair enough.

    Actually I'm pretty optimistic that the drive is gonna settle into the Top Three. Remember that Days Left counter is X Days + Y Hours, not X Days - Y Hours. Thus, as of the time of this post, there are roughly 103.25 hours left in the drive.

    According to my little spreadsheet I have set up, we need approximately:

    $980 per hour from here on out to take Spot #4 on All Time List.
    $1,017 per hour from here on out to take Spot #3 on All Time List.
    $1,573 per hour from here on out to reach 1 millon dollars.

    The Million Dollar mark may or may not be out of reach (it all depends on what happens to the patch, plus if Rich has any last minute pledge options up his sleeve). But Top Four or Top Three? Should be pretty doable presuming the drive doesn't fall off the cliff over the weekend.

    It usually *does* slow down over the weekend, though, and I believe this particular weekend is a holiday in the States, so it's likely to be even slower than usual! We can hope for a jump when the $850k is passed and people increase their pledges to cover the patch, but if that'll be enough to push us past the $938,771 is another matter.

    Hi-Res pictures of Stick!Monsters to print out and use with minis!

    Not what I expected, but generally more useful than character sheets.


    I'll be interested to see what offers appear once we hit the level for the patches.

    I'd actually forgotten that it was a holiday. Of course it's harder to remember when your work doesn't actually observe the holiday in question.

    Eh, we might hit $900,000. I don't think $1,000,000 is feasible, though I would be delighted if it happened. All the big rewards are taken, Rich probably won't offer any new rewards, so few people have a reason to increase their pledge (apart from the possible patch). Early estimates placed the total at $900,000 and change, and those seem to be on the money.

    To reach $1,000,000, there needs to be $150,000 donated within the next three days. That doesn't seem very likely, since that would be on par with the highest rate of gain seen during this fundraiser (around day 8 or 9).
