#1136; The Earthworm Bucket, Part 1 (of 4)

Comic Transcripts

[[A concerned citizen talks to the debater from the previous comic.]]
Citizen: SO, I hear you like to argue against what you perceive as weak positions, REGARDLESS of your true opinions on the matter at hand!
Debater: ABSOLUTELY. Our opinions are ever-changing, anyway. What DOESN’T change is LOGIC.

Debater: I think everyone should have to defend any statement they make, against ANY criticism, ON DEMAND, to the ARBITRARY satisfaction of WHOEVER’S challenging them.
Debater: In fact, I MAINLY strike up arguments with people I AGREE with! Like a trainer, or a coach! I want to strengthen our side!

Citizen: So, like… a VOLUNTEER coach who SHOUTS at people on the sidewalk to run faster.
Debater: MOST coaches are volunteers. Ever hear of REC LEAGUES?

Citizen: I bet YOU’RE real fun at parties.
Debater: I take ISSUE with the assumption that being “fun” in some facile social context is prima facie a worthwhile or desirable goal!
Citizen: GUUUHHHH

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
