fallen - hopefully we can get someone. I'm getting more and more tempted to up my pledge. If I do I'll contact you guys first, maybe try to organize a pledge matching campaign similar (but much smaller, sadly) to John Robinson's

johndramey fallenAbsolutely brilliant idea! A consolidated pool of smaller pledges to help the community raise more money. With many people contributing to the pool, this could go allot higher than I ever imagined. This is starting to feel like that scene in the Godfather, "Every time I think I've pulled out they pull me back in!" Let's prime the pump together. If I see 3 people pledge $25 or more inside fallen's new thread I'll throw in my very last chip of $100, but that's my last shot and the bank will be out of business. We can make a real difference pooling smaller matching funds I'm in if you are.

John Robinson - you're insane I can't believe you're offering your "last chip" after helping us raise $2,400! How .. where does ... Balgair get the gold!?

Thanks guys. Please remember this has never been about me, It's about Everyone, encouraging and inspiring each other to make this happen. Refuse to LoseAmong other things, I have a nephew graduating high school early in December, and don't know if he wants to go to college. But TB and ST2 is something Sweet Polly Purebred and I believe in strongly. Sometimes you just have to refuse to lose. There are tens of thousands of fans who have downloaded TB games but right now only about a thousand KickStarter backers are carrying the load and we need more of them to join the many wonderful giving people who are already pledging all they can. I really admire those that stretched their wallets for the fundraiser, and hope new faces will show up for the fundraiser a group of members are pooling their cash together for this weekend. Fresh IdeasYou don't even need to contribute cash just add something to this raffle thread. Do you have a piece of computer equipment, old tablet, or Kindle that works fine but you don't use anymore because you have upgraded to a newer model? Why not add it to the raffle with a minimum bid to cover shipping. There are Si Fi books out of print are they just sitting around? Maybe somebody has been looking for them a long time. Did you get an extra copy of "2001 Space Odyssey" for your birthday and it has been sitting on the shelf for the last two years? Perhaps artists like Dayan could contribute custom art for the raffle. Are you somebody that sells products at craft fairs, what can you donate? Hell I make a mean oatmeal cookie, packed fresh and sent right too your door, anybody want to take me up on that? Did somebody give you a gift certificate you will never use? Put it in the raffle with a minimum bid or no bid at all. The point is 12 days from now you don't want to say "Geez I wish I had thought of that sooner". This forum is full of talented, creative people, can you direct that colossal potential at this project for a few more days? Let's not go down without a fight.

I'm ready to make my first pledge to the kickstarter. It will be modest as my wife is in between jobs at the moment. Based on scanning the first and last few posts on this thread, it sounds like I should wait until this weekend so I can get my pledge matched.

tenbsmith - we need more than a thousand dollars in pledges every day now to be successful, so we would appreciate your pledge at any time The Pledge Match this weekend would be a great time, but it all goes to the same place, and the match will be limited.

tenbsmith why not if your pledging $25 or more sign on to be one of the pledge match group? That way you help encourage others to pledge this weekend and raise the matching fund?

tenbsmithThat's a great idea, right now all we need is $25 dollars more in the Group Fundraiser if our fellow TB fans match it, we can raise a total of $500 this weekend. If I'm not mistaken Saturday is the 27th it's cutting it close time for the big push.

Hey there tenbsmith, welcome to the kickstarter! I'll put your name in for the drawing as well, didn't get such a huge crowd this time around so you are pretty much guaranteed a prize!
