Remarks: If the "this is a question help text", a link to the kickstarter document with the pledge could be cool.

Ditto.

Definitely. Hard to remember what the $40 tier is when looking at the survey.

Hmmm.. regardless, emailing everyone on the forums with >X posts would be a justified move IMO - there's a lot of sleepers who probably would never know about the Kickstarter since they stopped keeping track a number of years ago.

- 30 days preferred.
- Human playable Zenith and Spire should be stretch goals, in any case separating them from the base game budget will help you determine an absolute minimum working budget, right?

Err you caught me while I was changing a minor detail that required the survey be taken down. :P

And technically, you can opt out by going to Profile > Notifications and Email > and check the box that says "Receive forum newsletters, announcements and important notifications by email."

I went in an submitted a new response, updating how much I think I'd pledge. Just make sure you filter out the duplicate email address (assuming prior answers were kept). :P

Your old response has been purged.

Nb. Everyone's responses carried over, I just manually deleted his duplicate response. I did that with a couple of other people who submitted two identical answers each, but for privacy reasons I won't say who they are.

is it also possible to back without taking a ''tier away''? for example I want to back either 140 or 250 depending on when the kickstarter goes up however those backer tiers come with:
Design a “background alien faction’s” lore (zenith, neinzul, or spire; subject to approval
or
Design a full minor faction’s lore (human, zenith, or spire; subject to approval)

and I'm not a lore person, or a very imaginative person, never have been, my imagination is 0 when it comes to creating or designing anything so I wouldn't ''design'' either 1 of those yet I would still take up a slot of those backer tiers so I'd much rather back that much money without taking away the possibility for someone to design lore for that price since it's limited

"Give" your design to someone (a friend) or crowdsource it but keep the last word. You would open a new thread somewhere on the forum and name it something like "help me design XXX", listen to the proposals, guide it toward what you like and pack the final product. You'll be like an art director or something. I, for one, would be happy to help in that kind of small project. If you need inspiration, people out there can give you some.

well lore doesn't interest me at all so I wouldn't really ''like'' anything they would come up with, don't have any friends so I suppose like you said just give it to someone random on the forums or something, you can get the ''design'' bonus of that backer tier then if you want.

I believe (its been awhile since I used KS someone correct me if wrong) the way Kickstarter works is you are actually free to fund any amount and after selecting an amount are then allowed to chose one reward tier up to and including the amount you funded. So if you wanted to you could (hypothetically) spend $300 and only select a $80 reward tier. Most people grab the highest thing they qualify for, but you don't have to.

Oh, nice. So there is not even the "taking the place of someone" problem.

oh good, no need to worry about that then, thanks for telling me, can just choose the 30 euro reward tier then.
