solidbatman Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 The Michiru stretch goal wont be any issue at all even if those pledges get taken away. There are many people, like myself, who haven't donated and are waiting to hear the price point for the Michiru game. While this does suck for Sekai Project, I've not doubt they will be able to get right back to at least $240K Quote

This is making me think twice, not because I don't want to support SP, but because I don't want to support KS. Quote
RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Nothing has actually happened yet besides kickstarter taking the pictures down Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Well, kickstarter is just shooting itself in the foot more than anything right now. If there's a big enough demand for it, it will happen, with or without KS getting their 10% cut. Â I'm sure the people running KS will be kept awake long into the night, haunted by nightmares of that lost 30K..... sanahtlig 1 Quote

solidbatman Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Like I said, this might even get reversed. If I'm Kickstarter, I'd reverse this decision simply because of the track record. As Koestl pointed out, KS allows other projects that have porn in them and are straight up pornographic. They need to be consistent. does everything you post have to be sarcastic? Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm a moody guy with different moods. Apparently I'm in a sarcastic one atm. Quote
solidbatman Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm a moody guy with different moods. Apparently I'm in a sarcastic one atm. Too much cricket will do that to you Another thing to keep in mind, dovac tweeted out that he was playing the waiting game. I assume he's either appealed the decision, or contacted Frontwing about it Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 does everything you post have to be sarcastic? Sarcasm is what I believe one of the most straight-forward ways to make a point. I simply cannot understand why people take issue with it.  Personally I'm just delighted people can continue to find issues with everything. If you don't mind the lack of H content, then you mind the kickstarter itself. Just continue waiting for that one holy project that will eventually arrive and fulfill your wildest dreams and expectations.  Now excuse me while I go pay for my three VN's.

solidbatman Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 And it was just tweeted that Sekai is still waiting to hear back from Kickstarter. So they did appeal it to KS. Quote
RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Honestly I dont get why it was reported everything was censored all the people who reported it did was bring attention to the KS and its getting more funding because of it Quote
greenshadow622 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 In the middle of all this, if they manage to appeal this successfully, the KS has now passed the quarter million mark. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I hate to be "Deputy Downer" again, but definitely stagnating. And interestingly enough, stagnating quicker than Clannad.    I should mention that I really don't care how much it ends up with, as long as it's funded. But the statistics may be interesting to people. sanahtlig and Emi 2 Quote
Decay Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Kickstarter's rule enforcement is extremely arbitrary. They have a really strict rule against "fund my life" projects and regularly take down nonsense that's just like "pay for my food" yet this was allowed to go on to completion, simply because it became popular and basically became a meme, even though it was flagrantly against the rules: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/324283889/potato-salad  Basically Kickstarter doesn't give a shit, as long as they get paid, or as long as they don't think it's weird. Anime smut is weird and filthy, while indie smut is hip and cool. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/the-smut-peddler-pre-order-project Quote

But the statistics may be interesting to people.  Make sure you're reading the charts correctly. A large amount of clannad's second day there was actually within the first 24 hours. Kicktraq's tracking of the opening days can be misleading depending on when the project starts. Quote
RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 For some reason i dont see it getting appealed Quote
LiquidShu Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 *cries* Michiru you were so close... Quote
RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Michiru still has a chance as its only 10k away if they remove the top tiers how ever the ports might not be so fortunate. Thats provided people dont start pulling funding if this decision stands Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 For some reason i dont see it getting appealed I believe Rooke is the official "Deputy Downer", try to respect the ranks a little. Come on. Â In a slightly more serious mood I feel the same. Though I can't honestly come up with any logical reason as to why. Quote
kyrt Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Wow this really sucks for sekai project and frontwing...also this might prevent them from releasing the 18+ content altogether now out of fear of overreaction which we just saw. Was it a group of butthurt fans, soccer moms, equality now, mobsters at kickstarter that didn't get a good enough cut, a hatred of anime, etc... someone just fucked this over. I really hope my fears of this event preventing 18+ do not come to pass but it wouldn't surprise me with the views they have on western society. Hell this M version will probably get censored now as a result as well. Â Â let's hope this is nothing more than pessimism and the rest of everything will go through fine. Hell maybe they'll announce the 18+ version early now...I can hope. Quote
RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Im willing to bet that it was people that were butthurt over the all ages versions instead of the 18+ version getting offended cause of the pilllows and bed sheets being 18+ but they cant launch the 18+ game with the kickstarter Quote
Deep Blue Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Clearly someone reported this to kickstarter, a very trollish move not that it will matters in the end. Quote

RinXD Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I doubt it was trolls or feminists but more like i said people who wanted the KS to be 18+ and it was all ages but backer gifts were some18+ material so they got butthurt and reported it. Also please dont bring issues like feminism on to the forum its touchy subject Quote
Decay Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm going with Feminazi's because why not, Â Uhh well you can believe that if you want. There are a lot of sore manchildren at 4chan who basically hate on everything SP does. It was probably some anon from /jp/. Quote
