Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I think that's pretty unlikely on the whole...we have to hit saturation point some time, when everybody has got what they want out of the drive and there's nothing higher to go for, and only those few poor souls who didn't know the drive was on are still coming in to increase the totals...

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm not disagreeing, but we don't know how many of such poor souls are out there. I know it seems impossible for us involved in this thread and caught in the excitement, but there are likely people that read OotS - maybe that are in the forums - that likely have not heard what's going on. SOme people don't read the news, and are here only once a day to post in their PbPs and check if there is a new comic up.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I keep expecting the chart to peak out, but it doesn't do it.
This last weekend was bigger than the one before.
I imagine things will slow down if and when Rich runs out of mystery prizes and stops posting. The daily updates are really driving these as people keep checking for more signed and bonus stuff and upping their pledge as a result.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
It might be in Rich's best interest, in fact, to publish the graphs as an intermission comic when there's a week left or so. He's done silier comics in the past (e.g. Q&A), so it's not completely left field, and would expose the fact that the kickstarter thing is happening to the entire readership, rather than only those who do read the news (which update so seldom I myself occasionally forget they're there). It is also no extra work on his part - he's already got the graphs done, after all. He could put the first 3 or so, and add "the story continues at kickstarter".

Ooh. Snazzy new packages are now available for those who just want the coloring books. I wonder how many of those will get snapped up.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Looks like I need to make another upgrade to get two copies of the Coloring Book! Let's see where the numbers land, or just wait for the questionnaire...

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
At this point, the only real annoyance about Kickstarter that I see is the inability to claim multiple rewards with a single account. It doesn't seem like it'd be difficult to do on their end, but of course I'm not them.
So, it looks like the easiest way for me to get both the signed print and the swag kit is to do it with multiple accounts.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
My guess is that they really didn't plan out their reward system when they began the site. It's designed more as a fundraising site than a pre-order deal so things like renaming pledge values or selecting multiple values didn't seem important. Changing a complex system such as this could easily require re-writing the whole system. I don't know much about their set-up but its probably not a top priority.
Sure if I were to design it now I would add checkboxes instead of radio buttons, have a database that supports multiple values and pledges that differentiated rewards and descriptions (so the description could be altered later without screwing people out of their money), but unfortunately it probably isn't worth it for them at this point.Avatar by 2 Eyed Cyclops

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Ooo, that coloring book looks so fun! Just like all of that other stuff! Excuse me, I need to switch to Swag Pack #1. And pledge more so I can get extra stuff.
It looks so much more fun than signatures, I gotta say.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Woohoo! 500K!!
That's nonsense. It would take 5 minutes to make a web form that could handle orders and tally quantities, sending Rich email summaries. The problem is that this pledge drive is already underway! You make new options available for future drives, but you can't really switch midstream.Last edited by Smolder; 2012-02-06 at 08:20 PM.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm curious, as a Canadian, I have to add 7$ to my shipment already. Does that mean I get a second colouring book automatically, or do I have to up my pledge by another 5$? I'm doubtful I can get away with this, but it couldn't hurt to ask.
