Support NeoGAF

[Arulan]

By the devs or is the forum itself doing an island?

It's an initiative by the forum, which Obsidian has recognized and are supporting, hence the 'Join the Black Isle Bastards Crew' add-on to your pledge.

 

[Baalzebup]

Congratulations on yet another successful funding effort on the part of the community. I couldn't pitch in for various reason, but I'm happy for the ones that did and made it a success.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Mama always said I was greedy

But damn it if our island doesn't need a pirate crew!

GAF got some rich mofos, right? RIGHT?!

Spoiler

I want a pirate crew too! And everything else! But mostly the island and the pirate crew/ship!

 

[dreamstation]

So I haven't pledged anything yet, is it too late?

Neither have I. I had a look last night and it wasn't even 90% if I remember correctly. Thought I had some time!

Congrats on the achievement lads and lasses. Top effort.

 

[vivekTO]

Congratulations Gaf!!

 

[KaYotiX]

Just want to say Congratulations to everyone involved. Hope the island is great!

 

[Gin-Shiio]

Congratulations! There has to be a fabled (GAF) gold treasure hidden somewhere on the island... according to legends anyhow.

 

[DieH@rd]

Congratulations.

 

[Menome]

Blimey, this progressed super-quickly overnight. Guess there's no need to up my donation then.

Looking forward to the planning stages!

 

[Glaurungr]

Congrats!

But I've already started writing bad fanfiction!

The wealthy but eccentric artist has been driven insane by an artifact called the Heart of Urq, a small jewel encrusted vessel of Adra shaped roughly like a human heart that has been possessed by a soul in a fashion similar to the Steward of Od Nua. It acted as the artist's muse, but over time he has gone mad from isolation and the artifact's words.

The quest wouldn't have any instances of combat, and would be resolved purely through dialogue and feat checks.



Damn that's good too

and here i was thinking of a quest that just a guy named Mandrake just says the plot to God's Not Dead at you and you had the option to flee, fight or hear the plot to God's Not Dead 2

 

[FunkyDealer]

Congratulations! We did something GAF.
:-D

 

[Atraveller]

What are we going to name it?

 

[Mugen08]

Congrats on reaching the goal!

 

[Blue Geezer]

Shao Kahn did this have the exact same curve as the pub did last time? Did you create the graph again? I swear GAF is full of drama queens like me who like to leave it to the last second for the height of drama!

In terms of names it depends on how subtle we want to be I assume something like Tortugaf is not subtle enough?

It is actually quite tough to come up with names for the island with the GAF style I can only think of:

Golden Atoll of Fortune
Greedy Atoll of Fear

but that's an atoll.... don't know if that's allowed?

Or maybe something simple like

Gold and Fear island?
Gold and Fortune island?


*shrug*

I'm having a bit of a hard time finding a good name to fit into "GAF". So I was thinking if there was a way to use "Believe" instead?
Like if it was a small island with ruins from an old fort it could be called Believer's Redoubt or something like that.

Maybe its a bit too subtle, but personally I would rather it be that than too on the nose.

Well, "Gaffer" is recognised slang for a "old man". That help any?

 

[CloudWolf]

Holy shit, I didn't expect this to actually get funded. Can't wait to visit the island.

 

[Violet_0]

as a backer, I demand the island will be nothing but flat, empty land with a bunch of NPCs on it that tell you pieces of their life story of varying quality, and then when you want to leave the island you have to take a quiz to answer obscure details of all their stories and answer all questions correctly or they won't let you go

 

[doubleplusgood]

Never knew! But then something with Gaffer could work, I kinda like Old Gaffer, but that appears to be a LOTR films reference :3

 

[Elandyll]

Right in time to celebrate the GAF island, Pillars 1 is on sale on Steam, -60%!

Regular price is $44.99, now only $17.99 until 2/27.

Just got it myself. Git it or Gift it!

 

[CottonWolf]

I am impressed this got funded. Good work guys.

 

[shandy706]

High fives and fist bumps all around. This should be fun. Looking forward to creating this thing with everyone.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I honestly didn't think this would happen. Amazing.

 

[Jag]

Woo. We did it! Thanks Shao!

 

[cilonen]

Holy crap, we did it.

Awesome!

Congrats everyone, and especially Shao

 

[coopolon]

Good job guys, congratulations!

Out of curiosity, is it known who bought the other island?

 

[WGMBY]

Woo! Congrats Shao, and thanks to everyone who contributed!

 

[Velinos]

Great to hear that this got funded and our donations were not in vain! To celebrate I decided to finally start playing the first game. It is pretty fun so far.

 

[PFD]

Holy shit this really spiked towards the end, wasn't it like 40% two days ago?

 

[Alastor]

Great and unexpected finish! I look foward to explore the island

... I'll try to finish the first game before this comes out...

 

[decoyplatypus]

Good job guys, congratulations!

Out of curiosity, is it known who bought the other island?

I think it may have been Something Awful.

 

[TheCthultist]

Way to go, guys! I'm always amazed when folks on here are actually able to come together on something like this.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Damn. I was worried there for a sec and was gonna donate but I'm glad to see you pulled through.

 

[Altazor]

Congrats everyone!

 

[gutterboy44]

Woohoo! Glad to see GAF Island was funded. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

[Nzyme32]

Well done to one and all!

 

[CottonWolf]

I think it may have been Something Awful.

Nah, we only managed to raise enough for a pet in the end.

 

[Violet_0]

Nah, we only managed to raise enough for a pet in the end.

well, I always said that SA is poor man's GAF

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Congratulations, guys! I didn't contribute to this island, but I'm eager to see what you guys are gonna cook up!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Awesome!

 

[Kimaka]

Yay! We made it. I wasn't sure that it was going to happen.

 

[Col WillieSharp]

Congratulations!

 

[rakhir]

Wait, I just got my salary and wanted to pitch in! That went fast.
Congratulations, guys!

 

[jett]

Really impressive that how everyone bandied together near the end. Congrats!

 

[hunchback]

I would love to have a drunk dwarf npc on our Island that has a riddle or puzzle for a character to solve.

Now I have to get a laptop that can run the game and finish the first game.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Spoiler

needs a tiny dinosaur with a hammer Turok/BISH reference

 

[TemplaerDude]

Oh my goodness I was gonna throw some money at this later today, what happened? This is amazing!

 

[Giolon]

Yay, we did it! Good job, GAF!
