#701; The Karma of Currency

Comic Transcripts

OTTO: Since money in a credit-based economy is essentially fictional anyway…and there is no way to track individual discrete dollars as they move through the system…it follows that wholly invented backstories for every dollar are completely valid by virtue of being impossible to disprove.

OTTO: So, earlier, when I swiped my debit card in the cab, I transferred to the driver part of Henry Ford’s profit from the sale of the first Model T. Later, I bought a bag of fun-size Snickers with the same dollar Thomas Jefferson used to buy point-oh-seven square miles of Louisiana!
EUGENE: NO!

EUGENE: The dollars in Jefferson’s and Ford’s times were on the GOLD STANDARD! They corresponded to specific lumps of metal in Fort Knox! Your arrogant attempt to place yourself at the crossroads of history must begin in 1933 at the earliest!
OTTO: Then you won’t mind in the least if I pay you back for the lunch with TAINTED 1919 BLACK SOX DOLLARS…?
EUGENE: W-well let’s not be rash

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!
