I'm saddened at the lack of enthusiasm for a frisky gay board game.

   The problem is that people are not looking for a frisky gay board game, you could get paper cuts like that. What they are looking for is a board game about frisky gays.

Project Description

Hello friends from KickStarter.

I`m writing a book, a science-fiction one, here is the base storyline:

One teenager can change the faith of all human kind. Jacob is a 22 years old teen from California - USA, that is addicted to physics and computer science. The world is not perfect enough, so his goal is to change history. He is starting to wonder how the world would be if the World Wars 1 and 2 take place, or the Pearl Harbor attack and many other important things that happened in time didn’t took place. But there is one little problem, he knows that if he changes the past, the future can also be altered and can endanger his own existence.

I want to finish the book and send it to print as soon as possible, but for this as you may probably know, money is needed. I hope that you can help me if you like what I am writing.

Project Rewards

One solid copy of the book right after it will come from printing plus other goods

Some of those projects are... painfully bad. I actually chickened out over watching the 'comedian' lady's in the #1 spot. I was afraid it would make me cringe so much I'd have an aneurysm or something.

It was bad. No aneurysm, but I may have suffered one if I had watched the whole thing.

Hahaha, wow, okay. I braved actually looking further into some of these. Painful, but worth it for the laughs.

I need a hundred or so of that picture onto a flier or a balloon, and then I will climb to the highest tower I can find and cast them into the wind where new people my stumble over them and be awed by this terrible sight.

I dont think most of those are sad. Some of them looked pretty cool, like the Hubble Spacecards.

Whats sad about a Docu on the fan community for ICP? I wouldnt mind watching that, assuming it was neutral POV, academic and educational.

Some of the weird, but not sad, like the Brothel kickstarter, but at the same time, I'm glad they're posting it. Though I happen to be of the mind that sex workers shouldn't be taboo, but a legal, regulated and tax industry.

A neutral, educational, and academic documentary on the ICP fanbase.

Right-o.

As for the startup sexworkers: you realize these people are asking for money, right? I mean... if you need to do a Kickstarter to get your whoring business rolling, you're obviously in the wrong industry. As with most of these 'projects', the problems are facepalmingly-obvious. Yeah, SOME of them have good enough intentions (like the hippie newspaper lady), but that doesn't outweigh the fact that the way they went about putting together these Kickstarters is really pathetic.

It's still kindof sad if noone pledges anything though.
