[[A well-dressed aristocrat with a top hat and thick white sideburns peers at a simply-dressed individual sitting down.]]
Aristocrat: Hey! What’s UP with you? Been awful quiet, huh?
Aristocrat: I noticed you didn’t wish me a happy birthday on Facebook!

Theo: The topic seemed to be well covered by everybody else.
Aristocrat: You didn’t ‘like’ when I tagged you in our old prom photo!
Theo: I… didn’t actually like it very much?

Aristocrat: AND you didn’t accept Jason’s friend request after you two met at the party last week!
Theo: I MET him, but I don’t KNOW him! Not well enough to risk ADDING to my timeline already full of noisy, chattering half-acquaintances! I went HOME from that party after a while, you know!

Theo: Your ninth-grade classmates and old co-workers have your birthday HANDLED. I don’t need to add in even MORE noisy, inconsequential chatter.
Theo: I’m sorry if that… offends you somehow?

Aristocrat: These little things have become SOCIAL NICETIES, Theo. They take zero effort and make you not look like a snob.
Aristocrat: If you don’t want to engage in social niceties, that’s fine, but just know that at this point, it’s a deliberate, pompous, antisocial choice.

[[A banner declares: “LATER”.]]
Friend: He sent you a LETTERPRESSED THANK-YOU CARD for liking his status about eating a taco?
Aristocrat: If my choices are indifferent Theo or sarcastic Theo, I guess I’ll take sarcastic Theo

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
