I had a great thought.
If for any reason this doesn't get close to 100% funded with a week or so to go - you should start a Kickstarter for it
LOL!! Kickception!

Oh neat, thanks to the awesome donor.

So awesome to see how well this is going
Best part of all is that all the big donors don't want anything in return. Imagine if we can push to receive no physical or digital items at all and instead spend the entire $5,000+ on something much bigger instead! :O
By the way, I don't know how many times I've said it but thanks to all the "Inn Keepers" who have donated so far. This wouldn't have been awesome without you all tossing ideas and donating generously and keeping it alive!
We are just pitching in money, your the only who put this together and is doing all the legwork so your the one who deserves the thanks.
damn! awesome!

shagg, have you talked to the CEO about replacing the shipping items for more creative control?
We need to kick harder.
We need to kick deeper.
Shagg reserved one of the slots in the first day. But he is in talks with Obsidian to maybe make something special to a community effort like this one maybe even outside Kickstarter (and Obsidian already hinted to something of the sorts on the next kickstarter update) and then open up that slot to whoever wants to claim it.
An update of what's being discussed as I don't want to keep you all in the dark as it's as much of an involvement of you guys than it's mine.
A lot of you voiced out that you rather have digital products rather than physical, especially when you account for shipping costs, the chances of "winning" them and what not. I've been trying to see what's a feasible choice where everyone's participation counts.
I cannot promise anything but I've suggest to Feargus Urquhart that we deal with this outside Kickstarter (especially since they are looking into Paypal funding, and we getting out funding via Paypal will make the transaction smooth).
Long story short: That reservation "might" be cancelled and this should be becoming an entity of it's own. The "Name and Design" pledge will still stay, but outside Kickstarter, and that everyone who pledges gets something in return.
I will update you all on what's decided and whether they agree or disagree. In fact, let me know what you guys suggest and approve of!

I'm not wealthy, and I donated a paltry amount to the pool anyways (at least compared to the average, which is skewed by some high rollers), but I am curious to see what this newfangled tier is going to be.
You are such a tease, shagg.

The Newshaggled tier you mean? *bada bum-tish*

You just broke the cymbal...
Let's hope it's not "Limited to 5. First come first serve via Paypal!" cause we are not prepared for that onslaught! D:
Peeps, please PM me when it's up so I can act as fast as I can!

Awesome at the new high donor
KEEP IT UP GAF.
KEEP IT UP GAF.
I was waiting for money to transfer to my Paypal. Now I'm waiting out of curiosity to see what this new pledge tier is going to be.

You guys do realize that the 5000 pledge is sold out right?

Yes, and the OP is one of the people who took one.

Oh i didn't realize he actually already pledged for one.

You do realize that you should read before you post right?
I'll save you the time you didn't think was worth it for you. We have a reserved a slot.

Already figured that out. But thanks for the rude and uncalled for heads up.

12 minutes before Obsidian updates. Hopefully shit is good and according to Keikaku.

So they've come up with a new $5,000 tier:

I assume we'll stick with the current tier. The new one is neat, but I'm not really sure how it's community-oriented apart from more copies of the game.

So do we pick what we want then? We don't get the inn anymore?

I think the inn is still more democratic.

btw, I think I can convince a relative to let me use his Paypal.

As asked in the other thread: Is that what I wanted?
Yes and no. It's different. Regardless, I can't make dual pledges.
So... Are we Inn or are we Outlaws?!

We still have the pledge for the inn/tavern. I don't see any reason why anything would change.
Inn. No question.

I'd go with Inn still. Especially if we get to help decorate it and such.

Group of well known members as inspiration for most of the adventurers and the raffle off a couple of slots to donors might work. Or the inn, which I still like. Still a few physical items to raffle either way.

Stick with the inn. It's more exclusive anyway.
And building the group of outlaws would probably turn into some horrible popularity contest that would tear GAF apart.
Pretty much.
And like Evilore said, most of the joke posters/mods selected would probably be banned/demoded in 5/10 years time. GAF on the otherhand would still be called GAF in 10 years time (I'm guessing lol).

Here's what I propose, we have a few days to think about it before "Enemy Adventurers" are gone.
I'm considering calling it a "Stretch Goal"
If we get $10,000 (if), I am going to reserve "Outlaws". As of now, the dedication for Inn is great but slow. It will be completed, I can assure you that; though by the time it is, Outlaws would be gone.
With that said, Inn is going to be kept until further notice (or until Paypal pledge is revealed).
