Can't get onto the SW Kickstrater page......anyone else having this problem?

**endtransmission**

[edit to remove weird duplicate post...]

**BrookM**

Maybe Kickstarter got complaints from BGG and had to pull it for well, whatever reasons they're so upset.

**Commander Cain**

Don't break now, please!

Oh, finally understand the title "that's and ogre of a man!" bit slow on that, must be asleep still...

**H.B.M.C.**

This is the point where CMON needs to complain, with a "So because your system broke, we should get 5 extra days as compensation!".

Then we will beat Ogre!

**Hellfury**

I am getting some wonky stuff going on with the page too.

KS network must be overloaded by tourists and backers.

**endtransmission**

It's working again

We'll need $15,300 ish an hour to get the last goal. That ain't happening, but at least we can still buy Barker

**kenshin620**

Its impossible to reach the last one, but man this has been a BLAST ever since I first found the news. A month goes by really fast!

Now all we have to do, is wait

**gunslingerpro**

Just read a few pages over at BGG (which I haven't been on in months), and all I can say is...

GUD LAWD! Some people will find any reason to complain.

I'd like to get a few more of those battlesuits, and the strain sets.
How many per squad, how much do they cost, and when will they be available.
Next question is for the infected add ons. Are we going to be seeing them anytime soon?
And the million dollar question- How do these guys scale up next to the Infinity guys?

No idea, honestly. McVey's existing figures aren't especially cheap, but then again, they're not injection-molded plastic. I'm going for "We've Got Movement" for the extra piles of figures that I think would work well for 40k, Infinity, various other games, and etc

**Erasoketa**

The number of $80 pledgers has... increased :S Find that extra $20 guys!!! It's a crapton of stuff!

I did point out that several of them are pointing out flaws, but if you go through the pages (and the many other, similar threads) they're not alone in their slightly different-to-Dakka perspectives.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Awesome, we made it, and great new stretch.

Don't think we'll make it, but its not totally impossible. Have added on another $25, so if we don't make it I have him covered, if we do, I'll pick up some extra tiles.

**Necros**

6 hours to make 85K?

You can dew eet!

**General Seric**

It definitely seems unlikely that we will make it to $850,000 in 6 hours, but it has been a good run regardless of if we make the last goal.

**Marrak**

wow... okay, added another 20 for more baby drones and crabs...

Those last two stretch goals are phenominal, I love the Starcraft looking armor for Kara, and the powerloader!

**Ravenblade666**

It's going at a steady pace, reckon it will go over 850k maybe just short of 875k.

True enough we seem to be much more positive in these parts but we mostly come from a miniatures background so my guess is a lot of us don't really care if the game sucks as we can just use the minis for something else. Granted some of those guys seem like they would pretty much complain about anything.

**rabidaskal**

Ugh, been trying to up my pledge amount for the last ten min, I keep getting a KS error message. Will try again in about an hour, will grab some food first.

**Duncan_Idaho**

KS hickups because auf too many last minute pledgers.

We're currently sat at $848.5k, so I think $850k is fairly likely in the next five hours

**Duncan_Idaho**

OK, the servers are in schizophrenic-mode right now....

**Souleater**

Perhaps if those not actively trying to pledge stay off the site for a couple of hours it might decrease the load on the poor server.

**Hellfury**

It is easy to be kept up to date on the progress by checking:

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/coolminiornot/sedition-wars-battle-for-alabaster/

....this will free the page for potential backers.

**Dysartes**

I do hope they'll extend the end date if their servers are at fault - seems harsh to penalise the project for their tech problems.

**Piston Honda**

Agggggggggggggggggh

can't increase my pledge?

Is this a sign from the gaming gods?

Or a sneak attack by Steve Jackson and his Ogre hoard?

**Dysartes**

It looks like the page is working again now.

**Piston Honda**

I'm at 600 bucks

Most I have ever spent on a table top game at once.

I disgust myself.

What are you getting? I felt that the 330 I put down was a little much!
