Veeno Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I guess this proves it. Kickstarter - a better love story than Twilight. 4 Hey, I just backed you, and this is crazy, but here's my money, so stretch goal maybe?
kenup Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Stop breaking the post barrier! Congratulations guys! Now I'm just gonna take all that money and.... Uh I mean now we let the guys make history! Edited October 17, 2012 by kenup
Sistergoldring Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Wow - I love you too, I guess. 2 The Divine Marshmallow shall succour the souls of the Righteous with his sweetness while the Faithless writhe in the molten syrup of his wrath.
Cantousent Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I've had a bottle and a half of wine, so I'm not drunk yet, but I will say that I'm happy. We're all a part of this. You've done a great job, C2B. Great job.

eimatshya Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah, great job everyone! I can't believe how much money we raised. I'm really excited to see what Obsidian does with it (once they've sobered up, of course). Edited October 17, 2012 by eimatshya
GhostofAnakin Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I'm impressed with them hitting the $4 million mark (slightly under $4 million on kickstarter, but with PayPal I'm pretty sure it surpassed). I honestly didn't think the $3.5 million big city stretch goal was going to happen a week ago. I'm also glad kickstarter is over. I would have ended up convincing myself to keep upping my pledge to higher tiers that I shouldn't be spending on.

nikolokolus Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 600k+ in the last day ... something like 1.3 million over the last 6 days alone. Un-freaking believable.
Azure79 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I love you too bro. That last stretch of pledges was pretty epic. Congrats Obsidian!
Shaz Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 My bank account hates me now... but congratulations on a project well done. Screw your bank account I'm not sure my wife realized how much I spent... well I guess she will soon. Tell me about it, my wife won't be happy......but well worth it, I have until April 2014 for her to get over it. My husband doesn't yet know exactly how much I spent, either. I've prepared defenses however by telling him not to get me any gifts for the rest of the year (my birthday & Christmas) as I've already 'gifted' myself. Hopefully that will be enough ... And I LOVE YOU ALL TOO. Not drunk, just giddy! 2
IndiraLightfoot Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Tonnes of hugs to all of you! And certainly charged here, a great feeling, for once... Edited October 17, 2012 by IndiraLightfoot *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Archon Stormraven Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah, thanks to all for making PE the best funded Kick Starter. Kudos to the OE guys and gals. ThisThis kick starter says "we trust you." I think for most, this is not vocalized, or even thought of, as they put in their pledge, but it's there none the less. OE, be worthy of that trust.
Archon Stormraven Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Hey, Nikolokulos! Love your Avatar. Adventures of Groo is one of my favorite comic of all time. Seen the others on? 1
Archon Stormraven Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I love you too bro. That last stretch of pledges was pretty epic. Congrats Obsidian! Heh. My wife gave me the "... it's your money... " line that really said "not if you want to sleep in the same bed with me.." and I guess it was too much to expect her and the kids to eat Ramen and Bacon a month and forgo our usual $1500 per month grocery allowance Too bad though, itvwoit would have been nice to get that NPC tier.
ToveriJuri Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Obsidian had an amazing and active campaign management. Constant updating and always coming up with interesting new stretch goals. If they would have been inactive like some other kickstarter projects i doubt they would have even gotten 2 mil.
cealicu_ca Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Screw your bank account I'm not sure my wife realized how much I spent... well I guess she will soon. separate bank account for the win! this. WWKF (without wife's knowledge fund) lol. technically she knows about it, but doesn't inquire about it and just leaves me be with my "special projects" ) Screw your bank account I'm not sure my wife realized how much I spent... well I guess she will soon. Tell me about it, my wife won't be happy......but well worth it, I have until April 2014 for her to get over it. Yeah it helps to discuss it with her first! A lesson learned for sure if it's a discussion - yes. Edited October 17, 2012 by cealicu_ca 1 "Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain." - Isaak Yudovich Ozimov
Theobeau Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 C2b; You are welcome! Aside: OBS campaign was masterful; frequent updates, engagement with their backers, principals making themselves readily available to all forms of gaming and social media. Well done Obsidian! However, it OBS' campaign becomes a template for other KS projects (as it surely will do), let's hope other creators are at least half as as organised and competent as OBS rather than being used by people seeing KS as some sort of easy way of obtaining funding for vapour-like projects. That sounded sour-er than expected but maybe that's the hangover kicking in! - Project Eternity, Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera; quality cRPGs are back !
Chabneruk Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 It was a great run. Kept me on the edge. Too bad we missed the 4.000.000.

I see! All the more reason to be happy So far, I only read the updates. But then, after today, I kinda wanted to join the forums as well. Too bad I didn't do it earlier.
