If you guys write to them and tell them, maybe it works. Remember to explain why and provide the project link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/echoboomapps/dogfight-elite

Let's try to get Dogfight Elite on kickstarter front page!

Done!

Done also

Done, but I couldn't embed the link, so hope my lengthy note gets read and makes someone there curious.

Here's kickstarter's response to my plea to make DF Elite a Staff Pick:

Kickstarter Support, Apr 29 11:06 (EDT):
Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out and taking the time to send along your suggestion. We love hearing from our community about the Kickstarter projects that they enjoy. At Kickstarter HQ we spend a big part of our day keeping up with projects like this. Featuring projects is one way that our editorial team highlights the many different projects on Kickstarter at a given time. Although I can't influence who they feature, let me assure you that they review every project live on the site and follow the progress that creators make. Keep on showing your support and help them spread the word among your networks.

Best of luck,
Ian

Keep hammering at them, folks ...

This is the response I have received from Kickstarter support. I suggest just e-mailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The more e-mails they receive the better we can get them to listen to us.

LOL! OK so it was a canned response. Didn't expect otherwise with the volume of requests they must receive. Anyway, keep up the emails ...

We posted it at the same time

I added just a bit to your message and sent it to both links, so I should be getting a similar response lol, but sent it any way.

message sent.

I got the same response

Yeah I also got a canned response. But someone must read them right?

And what about the "For those that don't pledge on Dogfight Elite" topic? It simply disapeared! ( Here was the original link )

I noticed that too, Zup, did you delete it or move it or what?

Sounds like a moderator miss hit delete instead of reply... Ill check when I'm on a computer

I got the same response.

thanks.

Same response from 'ol Ian. Lets keep it up though. Maybe "Ian" will get tired of us and push it through.

Zup, what have they said about extending the time? Or resetting to give us and others more of a chance?

WE MADE IT!!!!

Guys, you are awesome!
We are a featured Staff Pick now. I'm sending Ian a big hug and maybe some spanish tapas if it can cross borders lol

Now we'll be on front page more often and hopefully give the project the needed push. 5 more days to go! Let's keep hopes up!

@gmoney, the rules are the rules, we can't extend time or change the $ once it is published. Those are sacred or otherwise eveyone would change them when in trouble.

We need to keep running as much far and fast as we can under their rules. We've just got staff picked!

That's great news Z. Hope you don't mind I also sent them a link to the forum with my email. Wanted them to see how the game has also turned into a forum community. Sure wish I would have done this earlier. I'm on this darn phone again

I'll send a thank you as soon as I have access to my laptop

What, huh, hmm? I'm pretty sure I didn't delete anything (recently). I've been using the general Reply button, which is WAY away from that nasty Delete Thread button!
Anyway I'm sure Z will, err, let us know.
