Battletech

[RedArgo]

Holy cow, I was just looking at the pledges, if I added right, there are 100 people who've pledged $1000 or more, including 3 at $10,000.  They must really love them some Battletech.

I'm still on the fence about $25-50.

[MetalDog]

I love me some Battletech.  I just don't have $10,000.  :(

Pretty much.  As it stands I'll be sporting an awesome House Davion emblazoned vinyl Mechwarrior jacket  and cap soon.

I'm jealous!  Davion was always my favorite!!

If the project becomes overstretched, does that increase the risk of failure?

[Pinetree]

Very little danger of that, these guys are smart. They don't promise what they can't deliver. In the Shadowrun HK kickstarter, they reached the final stretch goal with a couple of days to spare, iirc, and instead of adding more goals, they simply said that any more money they made would use for "shit happens" funds and food for the troops.

Pah!  Davion fans = dime a dozen.

Marik, Steiner... hell, give me any of the others you Creampuffs!  :P

[jomni]

I'm a Kurita guy.

Steiner was too Germanic for me.

Kurita were the bad guys.

Liao was a cheat and a liar.

And Marik is weak.

Hence, Davion :P

He just went with the largest, most overbearing, one.  Like so many others. 

I'd go Kurita or Liao before Davion.  Because nearly everyone picks Davion.  They're the big paladin gorilla on the block.  See above.  ;)

First, nowhere did I say hate.  Second, that's the way both Houses were portrayed in the game.  Third, it's a game.  In space.  So they would be Space Asians.  And I still don't hate anyone.

...and just broke $2 mil. Only $480,611 to go for multiplayer. Should make it in a canter.

[Pinetree]

47 hours left and less than $100,000 to go for multiplayer. There's some nice digital rewards too. I paid a bit extra to get some 'mech blueprints.
