Ok fallen. I'll have a look. Grab this, by the way. If I faded out the ship on the animation, and faded in this, at this size, it would get the message across, BUT, would it be too "in your face, mate"? John Robinson. Fallen already knows my problem donating to Kickstarter, using Amazon Financing. There's more "value", in adverising, than the limited amount I could donate, if Kickstarter didn't insist on using Amazons payment system.

Cg Really great questions, so how can we use our creative potential? I have to agree with xdesperado on this one, If a month's worth of Internet service is $25 or higher and you only get 6 days worth why not join the Pledge Match Drive Cg It is hard to see our own talents. What kind of things do your friends and family say you do well? I'm thinking some kind of barter of goods or services in exchange for somebody pledging or increasing an existing pledge. Do you have a hobby that can craft something? We don't know each other very well but perhaps you could offer a week of service related to your profession. Here are some examples off the top of my head: 1. rabidbite or ntsheep could put a nicely formatted collection of stories in a google doc and send it to anybody that logs on the KickStarter and pledges $10 or more. 2. dayan could put together a pdf of some of his best artwork. 3. fallen could your brother offer custom wallpapers from still shots in the new HoS comic book? Bump the pledge 10 bucks get the wallpaper nobody else has. 4. fallen how about a custom avatars? 5. Cg How about putting together a illustrated history of the sock puppets, or using those internet bucks to bump your pledge. (I know you can come up with more ideas). 6. slayernz You already know what we want! A PDF collection of your "greatest hits cat picks". I especially want the Cat Vader but can't find the link anymore, barter for pledge bump. I would love to see you do a 2015 calendar but there isn't enough time left. 7. Cory Trese Google Doc of the "Best kept Secrets" About never before published details, tactics, walk through on any one or more of the TB games. I've been dying for something like this, name your price! You give the exclusive link, we increase our pledges by your set retail price. I'm stretched to the max but would love to get my greedy fingers on this from the guy who writes the code. (you don't get out of this either fallen) 8. John Robinson has a Kindle fire 1st generation. Is your's broken? Want to get one cheap, make a pledge offer and PM the mailing address. Anybody live near Eureka California want to organize a car wash? Yes I'm serious! A soon as I get out of this straight jacket and grab a sponge and bucket. I send oatmeal cookies to Florida and Alabama every year, pledge $25, PM your shipping address get 3 dozen. I have a $60 dollar unused Amazon Gift Card. Pick anything on Amazon you want send me the Link. PM your shipping address then Pledge $45 dollars on ST2 KickStarter 9. I know there are a number of college students on the Forum are you willing to barter a week of online Tutoring to get a pledge? Do you have an old text book to sell? (Answers to this quarters final exam? haha) 10. johndramey, slayernz tenbsmith, Officer Genious you are all sharp cookies, come on give me something here. What services or goods can you barter for pledges. What suggestions can you give to others?

P.s we are going to publish a KickStarter update that wraps up a lot of the great fiction from the boards and shares dayans PDFs in the next few days or over the weekend.

Not totally sure I understand what is being asked of me, but I am willing to give it a try. With luck I can up my pledge from $10 to $50. I keep most of the stories I have written and posted on the forum in Open Office format and can easily make PDF's of them. I have been busy with a laptop someone gave me, been writing and updating my stories and hope to be able post them soon. Thanks for thinking of me, to be included in the same sentence as rabidbite is an honor.

John Robinson I wish I could tutor, but I'm doing a bunch on my end and I simply can't at the moment. But you're right, I should be able to find a way to scrounge some money up. I have a few Xbox 360 games I simply can't make myself play, so I'll pawn some of those and put the money towards this fundraiser. The only game place in town is GameStop, so don't expect a huge jump in funding, but I'll let you know what I get.

Lol, agreed ... please don't start selling all your stuff to help make us a few extra bucks The primary thing that will drive this KickStarter to success is getting the word out. We appreciate everyone's efforts - you are all AMAZING.

Hey selling all your stuff and putting it towards funding ST2 sounds like a great way to declutter imo

Also like i tried to point out in my Addiction thread, you all might look at some things you routinely spend "pocket change" on and decide to skip it for a few days or a month.
Brown bag lunch instead of hitting fast food joint a couple days, drink coffee you brew yourself instead of getting that double mocha latte Carmel supreme quad shot whatever from the coffee shop, watch your cable/netflix instead of the trip to the theater, skip a few packs of smokes or a six pack of beer or whatever.
Most of us have some little extras we indulge in routinely, little comforts, pleasures, habits that giving up for a short period won't adversely affect our lives, yet that $1, $5, $20 whatever we might spend on them in a month can make a huge difference in the success of this kickstarter and help insure we all can have many more years of enjoyment courtesy of the Trese Brothers.

And of course, there's the beneficial health aspect. Less smokes, less beer, less, fattening fast food. The money can be spent on the far more healthy pursuit of.... straining your eyes, not getting enough sleep, and Repetitive Strain Injury, playing future TB games. Lol.
