anyway this is a good trend. next kickstarter i wont rush my pledge. That will really help the game.. as people with low pledges but high value will be able to do good work on the project. Nut like HiddenX , you throw the money and ignore all your responsabilities

The Codex makes this a feud, not the Watch - we are only collecting money for Larian in passive aggressive mode...

Oh yeah, that's exactly why we do those things, right?

Especially when talking about Divinity games, which have already been filled to the brim with real world/internet forum references.

I thought we put $ into this game because it is turn based and delivers an editor, with which many new mods/free games can be created like in NWN1.

No guys, this is when we lay down our sword and admit that we've been defeated. Discretion is the better part of valor.

I think what we've raised is plenty when you consider that our original goal was just $1,000.

Hey, HiddenX, since Watchwitz is down, how about you channel your gold here instead? Money is no good staying put, it needs to circulate. You might as well throw $75 on my behalf.

Plus, you're giving your money to a bunch of guys who can't even keep a website running. Who knows what will happen with all that money?

I don't want to hate on HiddenX, because it would make us look bad, like we can't acknowledge defeat. But I must say, this is dirty business.

Actually the Codex grunts lost already!

Your fundraiser goes until May 12.
Larian accepts money via paypal only until May 10.

I think your Commanders want to spend the money in Las Vegas...

Well it's ending up as a battle of rich dudes, that's quite sad.
Geez, Larian should just ignore the amount given by each side and make the whole Imps vs WatchTower thing an eternal battle where the hero can join forces with one of them, ignore the whole silly thing or just kill every single one of those sad creatures for massive bonus.

Heh, paypal... we'll just pile the money in a cart and deliver it to Larian ourselves, with some bros larping as caravan guards. Or so I heard.

Even if the watch does manage to outspend the codex this time around, they still have to try and live down the fact that they messed up the Larian KS to start with and cost the studio who knows how much money...:troll:

RPG Watch is down. Now is the time to strike!

Alternatively, we could always just not care and be proud of the fact that over the last eight months, 344 separate donors have contributed a total sum of approximately $40,000 for 6 different KickStarter projects (plus a new server for the Codex), including over $10,000 for Wasteland 2, just under $10,000 for Project Eternity and now almost another $10,000 for Divinity, while RPG Watch need to be reliant on one single user with a fat pay cheque to get their asses into gear in order to scrape together a respectable amount for just one project- while they apparently are "grown men" who "have jobs". :smug:
