Awww shittt! Faith in gaming restored!
He mentioned getting a workplace that was enough for 30 people earlier.
Their website is taking a massive pounding.
He said earlier that he hopes to keep the core team at about 50 people throughout the development process, however they'll probably peek at about 150 during higher load periods. Don't worry, he's not making it alone.
Apparently there's a nasty bug buried deep in the code somewhere. Site crawls to a stop, then takes about 15 secs to reset and works great for some time. It's less than ideal, but it's not hurting them too much. If at all, judging from the numbers.

I think it is hurting them a lot. For the first most important 3 days site was dead.
If they would end it on normal date it would be only 2mln or 2,5 mln.
Yeah, it's funny, they did 'cheat' a little... but honestly, I don't think anyone that pledges cares.
...I know, dude.
I don't consider this cheat at all.
I don't know why projects on kickstarter are mostly 30 days. There is option of 60 days.
Sure it is harder to keep people occupied for 60 days but amount of cash can be easily upped thanks to that projects can be more robust.
Star citizent is example. It's actually like 40 or 44 day rather than 30.

Several streams here:

one which is better than the slideshow
It's a 'cheat' in the sense that the timer started when the RSI site launched... it was 30 days long...
But then when they started Kickstarter, the RSI timer grew to accommodate the Kickstarter reset.
So... if there wasn't an unusual circumstance in the funding - I don't think it'd be as kosher to extend the count down clock... which you can do indefinetly with an external site!
I think it was 2 million on 3 days.
Edit: Over a million on the last day or so iirc.

this was my thoughts as well but in the end I said Fuck it and spent $130
Chris Roberts already has private investors lined up, and he made a deal with them that if he could raise $2 million from crowdfunding then they would invest in the project. Don't know how much money the private investors would be investing, but $20 mill has been mentioned in this thread.
Nice!
Now ... we die smiling ..
Time to build and release the freaking game!
