[Fig Campaign] Up your pledge by 8$ and get special forum badge! Join the Black Isle Bastards on this forum!

[Flouride]

Collector's edition + Euro shipping + Bastards badge = ouch.

Anyways, upped my pledge by 8 dollars

[Baramos]

 

I looks like L

The Black Lobster Bastards

 

Edit: Haha, the crew (if it happens) should have a Lobster pet xD not a parrot/monkey. Lobster much more original

 

 

An Obsidian Lobster? That'd be a neat Super Pet.

Not polite to play with your dinner.

The badges will most likely given out only some time after the Fig campaign has ended.

[Varana]

They will certainly be given out once the campaign has ended - like all rewards. After all, they didn't get any money from you, yet. And tracking who backed for what and who revoked his pledge and so on, during the campaign, wouldn't be that clever.

 

P.S. BIBbed.

[algroth]

Pledged!

[Townsendvol]

Support given, nice easy way to give them a few more $$$.

[Rorschach]

Updated my pledge.

[L4wlight]

Count me in.

[aeonsim]

Hmm, tempting...

[mayfaire]

I done upped me pledge by eight pieces.

 

... O' eight.

 

 

Bein' a savvy scallywag, I be thinkin' such a pledge be a most fortunate investment.

[Aarik D]

Dang, you guys found out before I could surprise you all

[Fluffle]

Dang, you guys found out before I could surprise you all <3.

 

Yeah well sometimes I pester you and Feargus about the same thing at the same time, and you don't necessarily know that

So sometimes I get information from one of you of which the other one doesn't know yet

Upped pledge by $8 with the B.I.B badge.

 

I spent a lot more on this than I should, the $8 is like nothing in comparison.

[mistermannindy]

It would be nice to have Josh do an update (or portion of one) on this topic.  I stumbled on this in the comment section of FIG.  Giving a little publicity to this initiative could go a long way towards getting some additional $8 additions and fully explaining the initiative from Obsidian's perspective.  Maybe they have and I missed it.

I have pledged my loyalty to the crew! 

 

Hunt a God.  Save your soul.  

 

Nah.  I'm going to join up with a band of pirates and let god-hunting be someone else's problem.

No comment.  Other than to say i also upped 8 dollars ;p.

[Fionavar]

BIB FTW! You are all so ... bad

The fact that getting a forum badge is completely divorced from financing the pirate crew is a source of confusion to me. If it was one and the same would that not be a stronger initiative?

That could very well be. It was not my decision. In fact at first I did try to combine these two projects.

 

In the end I guess the aim is to maximize the overall donations for Obsidian. Not everyone who likes the badge would also like to participate on crowd funding the pirate crew and vice versa.

 

But it certainly would have been possible that combining the two ideas would have had a stronger impact, I agree.

^I tried bringing it up several times but no response. Nothing on the monthly subscription thing either (I mean, we could easily pay for the Pirate Crew if we had a couple of more months on us to make the payment, I'm in a safe position with my job so I could easily pay $200 a month. And if others helped too we could have paid it by June-July. But no response).

Oh that! I got news on a part of this! Sorry I forgot to mention it.

 

The crowd funding of the pirate crew will NOT end by the end of the Fig campaign. I'm really sorry I forgot to mention this lol.

 

There is no set deadline yet until which we need to have reached the $5000. I will ask Aarik on a deadline, but he already told me

that the deadline for the crowd funding of the pirate crew is NOT the deadline of the Fig campaign!

 

Likewise, I will inquire if you will be able to purchase the BIB badge through the backer portal after the Fig campaign has ended.

 

Be assured Obsidian would very much like our pirate crew to make it into the game!

[Osvir]

Awesome! Add it into the FAQ. We probably have some sort of deadline (if it's aimed to ship Q1 2018, I'm somewhat expecting Q3-Q4 but we'll see about that at a later stage)

​Have we started discussing the different/various positions of the pirates? E.g. Captain, Navigator etc.
