XD I didnt mean to have a pun.

Today has been a ☼good day☼.¹

True, but I am going to monitor this project to see what will happen next.

Oh, sure nothing wrong with keeping an eye on them.

The punz are strong in this one...

Eye don't get it.

eye believe that the puns aren't going to last long, nor be very punny.

then again, this is B12, home of the tree pun.

What a wooden response. My cousin Iris agrees.

1.Did anyone else read that as "Toady"?. I think the part of my brain that deals with words is going to sleep.

I read it as "three toe"

[The Mechanical Man]

Really, you guys are down to 'eye' puns now?

Man, they just keep getting cornea and cornea...

[nenjin]

Alright! Stop that! It's just silly.

...and a bit suspect, I think!

So, this one confounds me. They didnt have any real Rewards. Their presentation wasnt that good. And their Goal, should have been higher. 300 dollars to get Recording Equipment and to Design a Website (hosting I suppose they'll cover out of pocket), seems way to low.

The recorder they ended up buying, was 289 dollars. Minus the Kickstater fee, that left them around 180 dollars for website design. And thats not including the Income Tax for the crowd sourcing.

   So I was trying to find this one thing which basically went through all the reasons I think Mr. Lottery Pizza guy would fail and I found it. Some of you may have heard of Extra Credits (if not you should check it out) and they did all my work for me so without further ado, here is a link to their video on what it takes to be a game designer.

[Skyrunner]

I wonder how that one succeeded.

Also, MrWiggles, $500 probably won't be taxed (much). Considering that a single dependent gets about $300 deducted for unearned income, they'll only pay some $200's worth. IIRC that was less than $20 tax.

Yeah, I lack a few of those, but I can make up for it by having a wealth of resources to call upon when in need.

Yea, it wont be a lot, but it still money being taken away, with such a low amount of money its noticeable.

Ok, the guy who started your world is seemingly rather stupid. This quotation, for example:

Note: Characters will not be permitted to run around buck naked…. Or can they? Every game needs a good mystery.

I, personally don't see any mystery in that in the least. It's somebody running around naked. Seriously. There's nothing special about it. This guy seems like he's trying to give everybody everything they want and fail at it miserably.

 If I'm missing something blatantly obvious, could somebody fill me in?

Also, two people have donated 10,000 or more? Wow. Just wow.

Edit: Threatening a supposed "Troll" (Who is probably completely reasonable and sane) with legal action (or at the very least mentioning that he could do it in a threatening way), this guy seems to be going mad with power.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

they were given the money by bartlet himself, surelly

[JanusTwoface]

Also, two people have donated 10,000 or more? Wow. Just wow.

More realistically, 104 donated $0 as there's not a snowball's chance that it's actually going to get funded.

Actually, on that note, can anyone that's done the Kickstarter thing comment on if your money is taken out when you sign up and held in escrow 9and returned if the project fails) or only when the project succeeds?

You aren't even charged (escrow) until the project succeeds.  It uses Amazon Payments, which can be deferred, altered, canceled, and so on.  You risk NOTHING by throwing a $10,000 pledge at Your World.

(If it doesn't get fully funded, no skin off your back, you don't even NEED TO HAVE 10k.  And you can always cancel your pledge on the last day)

[JanusTwoface]

After I asked, I actually went to go find the Kickstarter ToS, but you were faster.

Also, technically it's slightly before 24 hours that you can still cancel, at least according to this:

Backers may increase, decrease, or cancel their pledge at any time during the fundraising campaign, except that they may not cancel or reduce their pledge if the campaign is in its final 24 hours and the cancellation or reduction would drop the campaign below its goal.

But the lack of a need to actually have the money makes me curious if the two $10k backers are 1) actually serious, 2) secretly Bartlett in disguise, 3) just screwing with him. There are entirely too many comments that actually sound positive for me to have particularly much faith in humanity's collective judgement in this matter...
