Yep, Alan - I got three retries on Amazon payments, too. We were effectively doing a mass Distributed Denial of Service attack.

I don't snag the EB tiers, but I watched it sail past $3000 in under ten minutes and over $4000 (30% funded) in about 15.

I managed to get an EB brick from an iPhone with a crappy signal in a bus in Normandy, France... :D

Not bad, Michael! I couldn't get through to Amazon at all for about 5 minutes or so. I think we effectively DDoS'ed them.

Question on shipping: How's the policy on combined shipping of uncuts and decks? Can decks fit into the tube or will they be shipped separately?

Did mine from IPad from wireless. No problem. Wire is fed by fiber optic.

It's down near the bottom of the page, Tom - separate graphic. Basically the uncut(s) ship separately from everything else - due to a problem with delivery of a couple of uncuts (from Requiem) Lake Michigan Mailers won't ship anything but the uncut sheet in the tubes any more, which is why the price went up $5. There is a chart for the shipping amount for each item, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10 and brick or multiple bricks + uncuts, which is a separate amount for International.

I think Lorenzo is going to regret it when he reaches that $100,000. Imagine all the decks he would have to sign. :))

And I'd love for all the extra cards to explain the whole deck. Like the symbols, the jokers, and the background of the pips.

Well, those cards are going to be "jointly" designed, Yashi. I'd think that would be a good thing to nominate and see how others feel about it. There's a 55th and 56th card as well as potentially a 57th one.

When we reach that goal, might as well talk him into signing the uncuts too.

Well, I got called into work today and by the time I was able to sit down and bypass the silly internet filter (that EVERYONE knows how to bypass) it was 3:45 or so. I missed the prototypes and EB bricks. I must have done something wrong in another life. My timing always seems to be off. Oh, well. I pledged for a brick and will likely add a second as well as an uncut sheet.... or two, when Noctis unlocks. Scratch that. I will need 4 uncuts. One of each color and two of each to display both colors front AND back..... I'm going to need a second job... :shock:

I'm thinking David will likely pass on the kids, bro! :lol:

Sounds like he's brewing up another deck giveaway - Sky won the last one (the Aqulia prototype deck)...

just as well. She is engaged and her fiance would be none too happy about the trade... :shock:

I'll keep my eye out even though I never win anything.

Incredible start : this project is on the way to be funded in less than one day !

Not really surprising given the talent of Lorenzo and the Heretic team !

Aye, exactly. I'm thinking it will be around $13,000 at the 24-hour point, and that's not far from the funding goal of $15,000. I think we're safe already planning the Noctis version and several other things that he didn't list in the stretch goals. Lorenzo has quite a few tricks up his sleeves!

I'm confident that it'll AT LEAST reach the Noctis goal. I'm in for the extremely generous uncut level and a couple of add on decks :)

Yep, I agree. I don't see how it can't make $30,000 in 29 more days: it was $13,777 after exactly 24 hours. (92%)

I'm pushing for the big goal, 30,000 is too low.

Oh, I agree. I think we'll make them all - except the $100,000 one, which Lorenzo purposefully put out of reach. I'll be really surprised if this deck project doesn't make $50k!

Well, it's funded. Mike called it at 9:57PM Eastern.

BYW Mike, I wouldn't count 100K out just yet. Dia De Los muertos hit 70K, and while it is a great and beautiful deck, Heretic is by far better. Lorenzo has my open invitation for a place to stay while he signs... :ugthink:

Dia De Los Muertos had a lot of extras and add-ons in their campaign, that's what sets it apart in terms of final $$ reached imo.

I haven't pledged yet. :D I'm thinking about getting more than one of each deck since this will only be one run.
