The "only one project funding at a time applies to all."<br /><br />You know lawyers wrote that paragraph even though it is in plain language. Read it literally and the meaning is clear.Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-4893907296734885862018-06-27T11:24:47.387-04:002018-06-27T11:24:47.387-04:00I know more than a few companies that have run a s...I know more than a few companies that have run a second (or third or fourth) before completing the first. It's becoming less prominent these days, but it still happens. I have at least funded for one company three different kickstarters, with the last coming in before the first two. <br /><br />However, while I knew it was not possible to fund a second kickstarter at the same time as the first, I didn't know it was against the rules to run a second before fulfilling a first. My kickstarter list has a few past and present violators on it.mattruanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097988435815668367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-50188016849436506002018-06-26T22:15:10.668-04:002018-06-26T22:15:10.668-04:00They aren’t the only ones to do this.

KS doesn’t do their due diligence and merely checks a submitted project for innerprojrct idsues, not interproject issues. Maybe they should. Who knows. Clearly running concurrently funding periods isnt allowed. Pity, I was backing the suspended one. Looks good, however, I agree they are stepping on a lot of WotC attracting lines.
