All of which raises the interesting idea of starting a Kickstarter to raise enough money to put a bounty on the heads of all those people that ripped us off through Kickstarter. Would "dead" or "alive" be the stretch goal, do you think?

This thread aptly demonstrates why this is not only the friendliest forum this side of Riedquat, but also the best forum this side of Riedquat. :D

Cheers,

Drew.

ps. I think we should add 'Stretched' to the stretch goals myself, along with hung, drawn, quartered and gently roasted over a roaring fire.

I posted a link to the kickstarter for the Death Star on twitter. Some humorless bastard replied

"Shame, but I can no longer take Kickstarter seriously after this"

and

"According to the site it has 500 backers, but they'll never reach their £20m target, so it's pointless, stupid"

Miserable git.

Wow...I'm poor so I really should start my own Kickstarter fund just to make some cash off some stupid people... :lol:

Even if I made £10 that would be great!
