More Players are in - Onwards to John Doe!
You’ve done it again – Stretch Goal smashed!
That’s now two Corporation and two Marauder Players added to Striker! meaning you now get…
ALL THIS!

Amazing thank you!
$125,000 – John Doe, MVP
If we pass through this stretch goal, we will produce John Doe – an alien MVP that can play for all of the teams (except the Marauders, no one knows why he refuses to play for them):

John Doe - Of course that’s not his real name. His real name takes three minutes to say and major surgery to pronounce. Unlike some of his more mysterious fellow MVPs, John Doe is happy to discuss his history and origins; it’s just that few people can understand.
Help us produce John Doe and we will include him into Jack and Striker! (and don’t forget you’ll get multiples of the rewards in Cheerleader, Showboater and League Sponsor!
PS – watch out for today’s newsletter and another update this afternoon, we’ve got some exceptional add-ons coming up to really sweeten the deal.
Onwards to John Doe!

Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Mantic Thanks - Now I can happily cope with the random god. Continue on being awesome! Leaves a good impression with me :)
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
Maybe Mantic will think it over a bit , I hope they will go the controlled random route. I wouldn't mind that
Creator Mantic Games on August 31, 2012
To clarify - we will ensure that you won't ever exceed the player limit :)
The only place this could occur is on the FF Striker or the VM Guard and that's only if you receive two of that model - you will not receive two of the same figure in your "random selection" - so it's never a problem :)
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
However I like that a Marauder Team =|= Marauder Team, due to some player costumisation.
Creator Willem-Jan Bertram on August 31, 2012
That really wouldn't help to keep stuff balanced, particularly for those wanting to turn this into a league style series of games. Having stuff leftover isn't a biggy, but it is when it comes at the expense of player types you could actually use/need. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Tristan Yes this adds to some packages being more valuable then others, even if both pledged the same amout. Given - and I can't stress that enough, they didn't have to include the models in the first place!
Creator Tristan Coulson on August 31, 2012
Didn't realise you could only double it but Isn't it only the models added to the set that are random? I can see where your coming from now though if the initial guards is 2 and the random guards is 4 more then 2 won't be allowed to be used.
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Mantic While I'm thankful for anything ADDITIONAL, I would be happy if they would provide towards the gameplay. Currently I'm living in a small town where trading in is well, a no go and since I voted for Jack, I'm the provider of this game for my friends... thiswhy my outcry :(
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Tristan Culson Every team have a initial number of positions and you can only double the positions, thus 14 striker would be only allowed if the initial set-up would sport 7 on that posistion.
Creator Tristan Coulson on August 31, 2012
Did I miss something didn't realise there was a cap on the number of a position announced. It could be that a team could use the extra models anyway if they all ended up the same.
Creator Lee on August 31, 2012
Like I said, not a fan of random, but as pointed out in this case, I ain't gonna whine about more free stuff! Keep it coming!
Creator Mantic Games on August 31, 2012
@ Kiwamu - we'll do our best >:D
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Peder Thanks for understanding. However I want to stress that I'm not against the RANDOM GOD, when MANTIC GAMES can ensure something like that won't happen.
Creator Funkychef on August 31, 2012
no, I think you end up with free agents for other teams ;)
Creator Peder Bergenwall on August 31, 2012
@Kiwamu - that's true of course. Although, those "left-overs" will be great for trying my hand at painting for the first time. But yeah, you have a point.
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
@Peder again - if you end up with more models in a role than you can field it will end up in frustration.
Creator Peder Bergenwall on August 31, 2012
I have no problem with random, actually. As @Mantic points out, we do know most of the stuff (and they´re quite nice stuff so far), so a little randomness is quite alright in my book.
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
No he is not cool :( Ending up with more Jacks than you can field ends up in frustration.
Creator Mantic Games on August 31, 2012
But the random god is cool - means you'll be extra excited when you open the box to see what it is you've actually got! Plus you already know that you're already getting Wildcard, Reek Rolat, Gorim Ironstone, Slippery Joe, Lucky Logan, a rulebook, a board....
So yeah, a little of the unknown is a good thing ;)
Creator Lee on August 31, 2012
Ditto, no likey random. Would be nice if they were more of the alternate sculpts unlocked at 60K
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
I don't like the RANDOM GOD...
Creator Funkychef on August 31, 2012
Random God was the answer I got yesterday :(
Creator Kiwamu on August 31, 2012
Are the additional players fixed like +1 Jack + 1 Guard or are we on the mercy of the RANDOM GOD!
Creator James Curtis on August 31, 2012
What about some tentacle monster mates to go with him :-)
Creator Mantic Games on August 31, 2012
Not until we get the tentacle monster himself :)
Creator Funkychef on August 31, 2012
Are we going to get to know what the next stretch goal after John Doe is? :) please, please, pretty please?
