    So he admits defeat, then puts up a million dollar line.

    The man is manipulating us, and it's working. He knows we want that line and many of us will up our pledges at the last minute to make sure we get it, just because it's there.

    Goddamn nerds are predictable

    It just leaped over 2,000 in the half hour since he updated. This surge could actually carry us to 1M. Wow. I cannot believe it.

    Welp, Rich finally got me. I've been waiting for a pledge that lets me get the 8x10 print and SS&DT, and I finally upped to $74 dollars for the "Patience" package: a signed copy of the book, the art pledge, all the other swag, and an extra $4 for the patch. Incidentally, that means that the $35 SSDT package has a new vacancy for a few minutes

    Whew, so glad I snagged it. Also, it looks like Rich has added several more chances to get some older pledges that were sold out: the $600 "crayon picture + whole signed series" package is back, and there are a TON of SS&DT $35 pledges again (it was originally limited to like 50 I thought).

    Also, $3,000 in like an hour. If there is a point of saturation on this thing, I have just no idea where it is.

    I just reread the update. He's going to be adding new prizes every hour?

    Okay, firstly, thank god my weekend just started, I get to watch most of this. (Except for the very end, if my calculations are correct. Stupid school.) Secondly, Mr. Burlew is a confirmed nocturnal worker, but this is going to keep him up at daytime as well if he adds packages every few hours. And doing a new strip every day for the next three days. And signing everything and packing. And planning all the things like creation of OoTS swag and things. And updating the kickstarter.

    Well, every "hour or two". So a bit of randomness is to be expected.

    Yes, but still, human sleep patterns tend to last longer than every hour or two with some randomness.

    The average donation per pledger is $80.55. I haven't seen it go down since before Dungeon Crawlin' Fools.

    By comparison, the average pledger for Double Fine's project (now at $1,958,000 and rising) is at $33.61.

    No, I meant per hour. To see if we're above the average needed to be peldged per hour to reach 1M.

    Indeed it is.

    I'll just say that I'm so glad I managed to snatch what I wanted back on January 24 or this update would have crushed my sleeping-waking rhythm into puny pieces. But I know that I would have been grateful for it if I got what I wanted.

    Just out of curiosity, Porthos, why do you use ETA to mean that it's an edited postscript? (At least, I assume that's what you mean...)

    Edit: Oh, wait, does it mean Edited To Add? I was confused because of, you know, "Estimated Time of Arrival" being the usual meaning.

    Don't forget, you can pledge more than necessary for the items you want. Think of it as a gift to Rich for being awesome. I know I've thrown a few extra on my total (I also already have all the books), and I'm sure some people without crippling debt have done more than that.

    The patience thing is going to be huge. Given the number of people that wanted to get signed copies but couldn't, I'm expecting the bulk of the remaining funding coming from people upgrading their pledges, not new blood.

    Though now that we're in the last few days, we'll be getting the people that have been silently waiting for the tail end of the drive to pledge.
