Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Rick Burlew was never a threat, the benevolent half of the unholy union. It actually helped act as emissary between Rick and Rich to combat the Rich Baker. It turned out to be a coward and fled into the wilderness surrounding the Playground once the fighting began.
When the war was over, it seems to now continue the role of diplomat. In recent years, its begun to slack off. 4ed took its toll of people wanting to be guest writers. Its last coup was getting Rick Baker to write one final article before it once again faded into the wilderness. No one has seen it since.
So really, if you are waiting for Rick Burlew to update? That's going to be a long wait.Last edited by WampaX; 2012-02-02 at 11:33 PM.

At the end of the KICKSTARTER pledge drive the number of unclaimed signed packages was 69 ! It's like my signature knew all along...

Update time! No new goal yet, but images of the stickers and pads.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm a little confused by his comment about another update "today", at about 6 PM if not earlier, but it's midnight, so 6 PM was a while ago...
Or does he mean "today" as in "Friday, since it's technically past midnight on the east coast"?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Those stats indicate the most popular *rewards*, not the most popular projects...if you put our drive in there, its most popular reward would score a rather paltry 1408 (the $10 level).
It's hardly spiteful--given that the actual return from a Kickstarter drive is not guaranteed until it closes (people can drop out, lower their pledges etc) then it makes no sense putting drives that are still on-going into the "top ten of all time" section. If they'd just deleted it without creating that extra section, then *that* might have been spiteful!

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
You're absolutely correct. The numbers are not what I thought they were. Thanks for pointing that out.
We're currently 337 backers away from exceeding Cosmonaut's total backer count. Unfortunately, I have no idea if they're really the most popular project by raw backer count. Anyone have a better source for that info?

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Hrm. Getting curious about the Giant's next mystery prize. Especially given how much he insists we'll all like it. He's usually pretty accurate in that department.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
I'm even MORE excited becuase he usually underestimates hom much we love everything he does.
What he considered to be three prizes that were "not strong enough (...) at that level" got us all psyched.
So I can't wait to know what it is that even HE is actually psyched about!Nothing to see here, move along.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Checking the other most pledged for rewards of 2011 and the current top ten pledged from the wiki page, we're at best at position #4 in number of backers, behind TikTok (13.512) -the most funded project ever-, the ongoing Elevation Dock (currently sitting at 7.755) and The Cosmonaut (6.192). Pretty close to the top three, unless there are other projects I'm missing.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
There could be something hidden somewhere. After all, you only need $10K in donations to achieve 10K donors. I think the music or film and video sections may be particularly suspect. So far I have laboriously gone through all the art projects with over 10K income and ruled them out. There were three different Trojan Horse projects in there.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Just a reader, have only edited minor things that I was very certain on once or twice.
You seem to be referring to WP:NOTNEWS there.
The five minute updates of the OOTS total was not ideal. But it was the fact that the people couldn't be bothered to update the elevation dock figures at the same time which made it poor.
It'd be like updating the result of a football match real time, it doesn't make much sense to me...Nothing to see here, move along.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
It looks like new copies of SS&DT have been added to the $35 pledge level! Which is great, because now I can get that pledge level for a friend; it's the only book she's missing and I am really--like in an unhealthily gleeful way-- looking forward to telling her nothing and merely sending her a mystery package that, when she opens it, will spill forth all the OOTS goodies thus far.

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
Well, she doesn't have access to a regular internet connection so I'm assuming I'm good. :) Though I have been wondering whether the surprise of the gift is enough to compensate for not telling her about all the fun we've been having here! (But once again, no internet connection means that she couldn't participate or even follow along... so surely the gift is better?)

Ok, we're above 420k now - and only a few backers below 6k - this is totally insane - and totally awesome...

Re: The OOTS Reprint Drive at Kickstarter: Pledge now to get exclusive rewards!
A hint of what's coming from Rich in the update comments:
I'll likely add a x5 prize pack sometime soon, probably after the next goal is announced and nigh-immediately surpassed. It would let you get five each of the stickers, notepads, magnets, and the next thing that's coming. So just keep an eye out for it.Originally Posted by The Giant
