I'm thinking of doing a core party in London. With a few people coming over from abroad via Heathrow.

And then a slightly smaller, more personal one in Oxford where I live.

(Oxford might end up the bigger one though depending, since anything that involves London adds an hour onto everyone's journeys and Oxford is very central).

As a Londoner, either of those is convenient. Yay! Backed! Now, back to the feverish waiting.

or maybe Valve goes out of business because they invested too heavily in something which then fails - like, say, human civilization.
Alternatively, initiate strife to refuse additional baked goods, and then abscond.

As a technically-not-Welshman, it is my completey unbiased opinion that it should either be in Cardiff or my local pub.

I don't see why you shouldn't allow the fancy stuff to be preordered later on. As long as it don't interferes with shipping or production, you'd just be refusing extra money. Also, some people can't use kickstarter.

hmm fair enough, but it should only be for a certain amount of time before it goes to a regular preorder with alpha. otherwise it could possibly just be a money drain having to make and order new impbots as people become interested.

Yeah, there's a point when it starts to be more expensive then the money that comes in.

Maybe you could have a digital awards only thing.

yeah physical stuff for kickstarters only everything later on is only digital so no costs for shipping and physical objects.

on the subject of rewards simon maybe t-shirt, shirts as a gift option ? ;)

Got a lot of people asking for a Paypal system. It HAS to be the physical tiers, since they hate alpha funded games!

I'll set it up right after to help out all all the Germans and other people that don't have debit or credit cards.

It would be helpful if those who are avid supporters of this game commented on that RPS article. Historically it drives a lot of backers to KS projects.

Done.

Reaching roughly 15% or the total in one day is not bad.

Nearly 20% now! I think this is well on its way.
