It sucks see a negative daily total on Kicktraq. I'm guessing that $1,000 backer was more in the range of $1,500. We did fine overnight, except for that little setback. Today's goal is now only $7,700, for an absolute minimum target of $372,280. But let's make this a repeat of yesterday and soar past that goal :)

Yes, I was not pleased to see the total dollars this morning. We were at $364,791, 7 hours ago. $364,331 when I woke up. So, it must have been a decent chunk, and the 18 new backers must be in the low $ range. Still, we've had some drops before so, just need to keep trying to get the word out there. I guess I'll try some more Twitter people today.

That's just too cruel this late in the game. if it happens again, I'm upping my pledge by the amount removed.

We lost a $1000 backer, which is a shame. Still, we are ahead of the 4500 backers that the clown demanded, so we are still doing well.

We might see things change after Carmageddon finishes too. Hopefully some backers making their way to Tex once the dust settles there.

Perhaps the $1000 one dropped back down to $750, as there are 2 new ones of those since yesterday afternoon. I understand people's financial situation can change. But it still SUCKS!

And LOL at that cartoon Jane & Sai! Kids today don't get to see any cool cartoons like that!

Lol so true. Disney doesnt seem to do something like that much anymore. I hear when they released the Runaway Brain short cartoon in 1995 some mothers complained it was too scary, and since then I haven't seen a Mickey short preceeding a Disney feature (though tamer shorts were on TV for awhile I think, but I never had Disney Channel).

I have this unique figure from Japan based on it:

Nope, they didn't drop to $750 - I have been keeping an eye on the $750 and above numbers for a while, and we dropped at least $888 - so possibly a huge drop.

At least we're back in the right direction now.

I've done some number crunching, and it order to reach the $450,000 exactly by the 16th. There needs to be $8386.70 donations per day.

So far the Average has been roughly $9000 per day within the last week. Odds are high that we'll get it, however, We still need to be vigilant on getting the word out. This also doesn't count any donations made directly with Paypal.

My current projections based on donations put goal mark on the 11th or 12th.

Can't do PayPal until after we reach our goal :(

Sai, I'm hoping that near the deadline date we have a last minute influx of donators who procrastinated. Of course, I am an optimist that way.

Oh I know. Its just the stretch goals I'm worried about right now. I think the final push at this stage should squeak is over the goal at the end but it'd be a shame to miss out on a longer game, more paths, casting etc. I think someone messaged them and they said they wont really be looking to collect money post-deadline I guess due to needing to budget things (maybe someone can dig up the quote). Though when we get to that point maybe someone can suggest leaving it open a bit longer.

Just saw your edit about 11th/12th. Cool. Hopefully the Reddit AMA pushes that even closer so we can get a solid week to dedicate to stretch goals.
