commented on a projectZigra and all our other dear friends, Not to worry, there's a very elaborate system in place! As items have gotten down to the bottom of the barrel, we've had to wait on replies about what people want in an effort to keep the "first come first serve" mandate in order, as we certainly don't want to send out messages saying certain items are available, and then get a reply from an earlier backer who wants the last one! So, we've been waiting for a few messages to trickle into the inbox before we moved on. Another round of messages will indeed be going out today though, so keep an eye out!

Posted project update #3Happy Holidays everyone! We'll be back at it in a week...
Post CommentHey everyone! First of all, we want to thank everyone who's backed this project so far... the overwhelming amount of support has been nothing short of inspiring.
Just to let prospective backers know, we'll be taking a much needed holiday break this week. Nothing will change, really... everyone's bids will still be accepted and kept in order, so the appropriate gifts get to the appropriate people, but we just wanted to let anyone who had a question for us know why there would be a delay in the response. Still, ask away, and there will be a thoroughly satisfying answer awaiting you come Monday. Happy Holidays!
