So this shit actually got funded? Looks like some people have more money than sense...

Unlikely. But it does give me an idea. I'm going to kickstart a project called "give me some money and fuck off". The idea is that you give me money and then fuck off. Oh, and there'll be 10 tiers, but you don't get anything, just the more you give, the further away you can fuck off.

What will you set as your goal?

The goal should be enough that he could reasonably take the money and tell the rest of the world to fuck off for good.

200 bucks, and we'll see how it goes. If I reach funding, I'll make an annoucement publicly telling all the people who donated to fuck off

Slightly dissapointed. At what reward tier will you name a Kerbal/Rocket after people so they can fuck off to the moon?

You're looking at the 100$ tier, I'm afraid. But as a fellow Codexer I'll let you on a little secret, and advise you to consider the 125$ tier. It's only 25 bucks more, but you can fuck off to any place in the world of your own choosing (travel fees not included), and you also can pick 3 people to fuck off with you. See, I've put some thought into this ;)

Correct me if I'm wrong, did Notch give money to this scam, and he didn't give anything to W2 or Banner Saga?

I think he did pledge some precious to W2, it might even have been something like 5K. Or maybe even 10K, not sure

10k. But the Codex donated 10,323, so fuck him. :smug:

So you're saying that the prestigious delegate the KKKodex sends to the party will get a chance to kick Notch in the balls? do you hear us, DarkUnderlord? It is critical that we accomplish this and film it.

Or perhaps one of the resident trannies should seduce him and then publish shocking tranny sex tapes.

Be fair to the man, he did throw 10K at the good cause. So the dex should just send prosper to tell him all about why he needs to implement turd elementals in minecraft

I think it's kind of cool how they didn't give up and reached the goal.

And what if they DO find a publisher and make a good game? What then, Codex? What then?

Well then we'll play it. Doesn't change the fact that the way they went about it so far doesn't exactly inspire confidence and that their chance to succeed is as remote as the chance that Bethesda will actually make human looking humans in their games.

At least this proves that a successful kickstarter isn't completely dependent on building momentum with a strong first day.

If they make a genuinely good game, I'll buy it.
But they have no track record of doing anything but shitty console popamole games, they haven't a tenth of the funding they'll need to make a multiplatform 3d shooter that'll satisfy the consoletard graphixwhoars and they're betting on outside investors to supply the rest of the money to make a game noone is able to find a publisher for because it's seen as unmarketable.

This is about as likely to see release as Grimoire GOTY edition.

I'm still queasy about the concept of donating to some guy so that other people can invest in said guy for profit.

At least he sait it himself -- he's marketing the game to people who own guns. Maybe once he fails to deliver we'll have some proper mob justice.

So wait, does this mean that Notch will get a 9mm ?

Hopefully he'll only get it after the W2 party, otherwise it could make kicking him in the balls a risky proposition for a heroic Codex representative. The Codex would probably get the blame too, due to Notch's reputation (and the aforementioned requirements to ruin it not being met)

Unless we send a black kid. Then Notch would be fucked.
