It was due to trying to make the backer total $3333.33 with average total of being $66.666~.

 

But paypal fees and stuff made it not true.

    According to my calculations I account for 2.1784000000000003% of this projects funding.

     

    My 2 cents percent.

    All right. To those, who are still on the fence (or should I say on the pier): this might be your last chance to participate in this epic, first ever, crewfunding within a crowdfunding.

     

    This is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to avoid being a landlubber of eternity :D

     

    There is still plenty of rum aboard. Well, okay its not. But we are going to rob some very soon (HINT). AAAR!

     

     

    @Aarik D best Community Manager ever! Thanks a lot!

    Voted other. I'd like them to be a loose federation of pirates, attempting to set up a 'Free State', along the lines of New Providence in the Bahamas, during the early 18th century.

    Yes! I couldn't believe my own eyes when I logged in to check the donations today.

     

    It said $5334.26 Holy Cow!

     

    We had two VERY generous donations, one of which was our $333 guy who donated yet another such batch of money to our cause.

     

    A huge thank you to to the both of you, and a huge thank you to everyone!

     

    We made it! WE ARE FUNDED!!!

     

    WHOOOHOOOOOO!

    How do we proceed from here on?

     

    I have decided to go for the stretchgoal "Create an Item".

     

    What rules do apply for that?

     

    The stretchgoal is to raise $5750 of which we already have collected $5334.26 at this point. The deadline is NOT the same anymore as the previous one.

    For the stretchgoal I pushed it back a little bit. So the new deadline for the stretchgoal is 24th April 2017 23:59 PM.

     

    There are a lot of rewards in that tier other than the actual "create an item" reward.

    So who gets them? This will be parallel to the additional rewards form the "creat a pirate party" tier, with the exception that this time the rewards will go to the donator with the second highest amount.

     

    Because the donator with the highest amount already gets the additional rewards from the "creat a pirate party" tier.

     

    If there are multiple donators who come close to having donated the second highest amount then they can share the rewards if they can reach a peaceful agreement on who gets what.

     

    What if we fail to raise $5750?

    Then I buy additional copies of the game from our surplus money and put them into a lottery for our donators.

     

    What if we reach more than $5750?

    Then that surplus of money will be used to buy additional copies for a lottery.

     

    NOW, let the ideas spread and your mind spin of what awesome item we could give to our pirate group!!!

    Hell, yeah!

     

    NOW, let the ideas spread and your mind spin of what awesome item we could give to our pirate group!!!

     

    Oo, oo!

    Maybe a black cape, that has a pirate skull on it?

    Or better yet, the Black Isle logo, but that would be too far, methinks.

     

    Just add some neat properties aaaaand done.

     

    j/k

    Pirate flag to fly on the ship?

    The tier "create an item" says it's a piece of equipment. So I think it's for a character.

     

    The flag should actually be part of our already funded "create a pirate party" tier. Because that includes the pirate party AND the ship.

    What about a wooden leg then?

     

    Seriously, if it's an item then you'd probably look at something like a cloak, sabre, musket or headwear of some sort - a turban for example. I'd prefer a cloak with the logo if possible. Not sure what everyone else wants? Maybe a poll with a couple of options...

     

    Re: the flag, I was thinking of a banner with some properties. Not sure if the stronghold (ship) will have the same sort of properties ie: prestige and security, but if it did then the flag could boost the stats in some way. Hopefully we will get some sort of flag out of this, though I'd rather didn't spend to many resources on it.
