Thought I would give my 2 cents before this thread dies. I commend Jackson for doing his oWn project. He saved himself at least 5% Did I think his goal would reach $100,000 like a big dog on Kickstarter. Of course not, but that's not the model he is doing. But I think for the model to work it needs to be at least like Kickstarter then you can make it better. It needs to include upping your pledge at anytime or canceling it at anytime if you want too. It should be like buying stock. It needs a bit more flexibly than emailing you to cancel a pledge.
Russ, do you honestly think he's going to get all that many cancellations? Most of the people ordering this deck REALLY WANT THIS DECK and are practically drooling on their keyboards in anticipation. The few cancellations he receives will be perfectly suited for managing manually via his email as opposed to using some automated system.
Though I would agree about allowing people to raise their order before the project closes.
Good word, I was thinking about putting my city and state there instead of all the meaningless legal patent stuff.
I think that, perhaps with a "First Edition" marking of some kind, would be perfectly suited.
@Jackson - Your in like Flynn at the USPCC can you get a number? I guess it would start with "T" if you could. That would be better than that patent crap and relevant.
Anyone making a custom deck can get the AoS code treatment if they want. Few people want it, however. I see it on decks made by USPC for USPC and on the brass "Bicycle Steam Punk" deck - but not the other two colors, or at the least not the copper edition. It was also on Robocycle, which T11 made, but it was commission work for USPC, not their own baby. Seriously, why would one want the codes? They're cryptic.
