I heard a player on IRC channel is planning to start a kickstarter to fund his/her James Bond pledge! I found that quite clever. As weird as it sound, i'll back such project...

Would you support that to the tune of, say, $20000? *opens an indigogo tab*
Is there an expiration date on the pledges? Will they be available for some time to come or now that we've hit the $10,000 mark will they be removed? I know they can't be there forever but I'm just curious how long they'll be around for.
I just ask because I there's at least one main pledge & a stretch goal that I wouldn't mind getting but would have to buy in separate months.
Anashel, I sent you a PM but I think I will talk to you from here too:
First of all, congrats for your Company's projects. The Black Watch Men Persistent ARG sound Awesome. I will pledge you for sure but I have few question before (sorry if it have already been asked):
- I'm in France (lille), will I be able to have as much implication as anyone (from USA for example)? I'm not talking about localization, I'm ok with English (reading/listenning it at least).
- I'm a TSW Player, I had the mail with the "20$ normal pledge" offer. But I would like to have the 75$ pledge. How can I do to still have the "-10$ price discount"? (Or is it not possible?)
- What is your total goal? What will happen if you don't succeed? How can I track your progression? There is no timing neither Goals that I can see on MMORPG.com.
Finally, good luck! I when through a "Lovecraftian" Crowfunding Campaign last year and I know this is intense (http://kck.st/17ammmo)!

Heh, fortunately it's just to Denmark [...]
Two times the good news; not only is shipping to Denmark feasible, I now also know there's a fellow agent in the area.. Relatively speaking.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for blank sheets of paper on bulletinboards from now on. O_O
Joking aside, bit of a silly question, but in regards to the iPhone/Android cover, how are you going to get around the plethora of models using Android?
Its my own fault, but I was in such a rush to pledge i didnt check before it went through, are you going to check on the phone cases whether we want iphone or android, or was that a selection that needed to be made during the purchase process?

Just purchased it as well (thanks for giving me a good excuse to do so, btw! ). You were only asked for the information required to purchase it, and then what account you wanted to bind it to (i.e. the email associated with you mmorpg account - I presume).
So I wager we'll be contacted later on, to determine what cellphone we'd like the case to be made for, seeing as it's made - as Anashel mentioned - on a per order basis.
In other words, don't worry - from what I saw while ordering mine, you didn't miss any vital information yet. That comes later.
Edit: Just in case you happened to close the transaction window right after it went through, and weren't forwarded to the page where you bind your purchase to your account (you can check it by seeing whether the pledge text is blue (purchased)or yellow (available) on the front page), I'd suggest sending info@division-66.com a mail.

Your not the only one, minus the hot chicks part sadly I can't justify that cost even if I had the time particularly since it apparently comes with non of the perks/benefits of lower subscriptions e.g. an ingame uniform.
Sad I missed the beta package would be nice to see my name in the credits.
I've trolled and lurked and I give up! How do you claim the in-game clothing for TSW? I want to walk around Agartha and London, pimping my hoodie and telling everyone who asks how to get their very own!

I don't think these things will be claimable until after the fundraising. At the very least, they are not yet claimable. :c

I saw someone running around with a Black Watchmen hoodie on already though =/ Just one person, but it made me all antsy to get mine!
It would make the old ones retain the prestige they had/have, and make the new ones related, but with their own. Part of the point of having limited type items is the "I was there".
Granted, I don't have one of the old ones (too much going on in RL at the time, sadly), and wearing it could give people the wrong impression.
Plus, I think the new logo looks better.
There is always the option, why not both? (or all three I suppose if the slaughterhouse ones are included in this decision)
On this note, the pledges need to be fixed so someone could get this option more than once, just saying.
And this hasn't been asked yet I don't think, is it for all characters on an account, or only one?
Originally posted by Anashel Ohhh god.... we are heavily debating this topic internally. Should we leave the original hoodies or pimp it up with the new logo effect...
Do both, but make either the new hoodie or the old hoodie a separate pledge! People will go nuts for a chance to get the original and a new one!
I agree with both, if only because I never got the first ones and was disappointed not only in how they were handed out, as I've never really been a fan of rewards given due to popularity / activity, but also because I could go months without seeing one and I knew I would have worn mine pretty much all the time.

Guys, you already pledge. It may sound against the project but I don't want to just take more money out of you. It's time other endorse the vision of what we tying to do and I can't believe that we are the only one that see the full potential of this project. (!)
If you have idea to help us find more players tell me. I was also made aware of this post 15 minutes ago. It's simply boils my blood that we fell short on such details, especially to veteran player that I truly respect. Being a french studio has been my most important weakness. Tomorrow morning someone going to have a bad time. It's time we fire our proofreading sh**ty company.

Shit, man, I'll proofread your stuff for free. Never ceases to amaze me when really great concepts fall short because they're lost in translation.
Edit: That'll teach me to post right after coming back from a 15 hour long day, starting from midnight untill 15 p.m. - The post below is regarding the possibility of the real-life hoodies, not the in-game ones. My apologies. :S
In regards to what logo to use, I think you might risk people connecting the "original" logo more with TSW, as opposed to TBW. That might not mean much, as the chance of meeting someone who knows of either is already rather slim, I suppose, but it might be worth taking into consideration.
Something else I've been thinking about, in regards to the Hoodies, is what "style" you'll do them in? - by which I mean the style of the hoodie itself, not the print
Can't help but feel that the Ninja-Hoodie Digital Extremes are using is both unique, and somewhat fitting in terms of the TBW universe - and cool looking to boot. I know if I had the choice, I'd opt for that one over the standard one.
It might even abolish the need to choose between the original and the new TBW logo; Have the new logo printed on the shirt itself, and the old one printed on the "mask".
**
Edit: In regards to the in-game hoodies - on which I can't say I'm not biased, as I already have it - I'd think it would sit better with a hoodie featuring the new logo, both in terms of creating awareness - as people are somewhat used to the old TBW hoodies by now - and also in terms of rewarding "veterans" for pledging money, and finally also in regards to maintaining some degree of exclusivity for the "original" hoodies.
I wouldn't, however, be miffed if pledgers were given both the old and the new hoodies, though - and I can understand making the old hoodie an extra stretch pledge, for example, is something you're against, which is commendable. ^^
Regardless, I definitely think the new logo should be used; people are more likely to go "How'd you get that?", as they've most likely already asked where people got the hoodie with the old logo, and as a result, using the old logo wouldn't generate as much publicity.

+1 Birdnest I'd proofread things for free as well...
But yeah Anashel, I think you can fire those guys who were doing that for you until now... Because I think they really did a bad job of it (or they did nothing at all maybe...)
As for the logo on the ingame hoodies, I'm all for the new logo. I already have a slaughterhouse hoodie from the pre-launch ARG and I personnally like the fact that it is connected only to this particular event.
I'll be completely honest: I pledged for the beta, and was considering a stretch pledge for in game uniforms only because I wanted the old hoodies, and those are the incentives that were listed at the time. As I said in my previous post I always wanted them previously, and I wasn't really happy with how they were handed out in the first place; lots of people seem to have them, no one seems to wear them. I'm still going to be pledging the stretch pledge for that, but that was my reasoning behind it.
I was moving during the last ARG and therefore couldn't post as much as I would have liked (but I wouldn't have posted anyway, I tend to post on forums when I feel I have something to say, not just to post me too, so I would never have won a hoodie based on post count anyway.)
In all honesty if there was only one option of the old one or a new one if both is not an option I would vote for the old one. I am not a fan of exclusive items that only some people can get. And sure, while the new ones would ask people where they got them, so would the old ones. People can get disappointed at not being able to get an item.
I still play the game and would be extremely upset if a decision was made based on the opinions of people who no longer play TSW, or was made by people who want something new, because they already have the old thing.

As mentioned, I wouldn't mind if pledgers got both the old version and a new version; and while I agree that people will ask about both hoodies, chances are they'll already know the answer to how people got the old one. Even if there are a substantial amount of players who'd ask about the old one, there would - all things being equal - be more players who'd ask about the new one.
But again, I wouldn't mind if the peldge included both - my primary concern is whether or not the old one would generate enough publicity.
