Kickstarter Question: ordering additional codes

    I am currently at the $45 tier, with a prototype code for myself and one for my girlfriend's son. I'd like to support the game more though and get a few extra codes, which I would then give away via various contests to users who can't contribute via Kickstarter for one reason or another. How would I go about "ordering" these extra codes though? Would it be safe to just up my pledge without upping my reward tier? Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks.

    the consensus (i believe) would be to create alternate KS accounts, and pledge at the same tier... by the way, very thoughtful and generous of you!

    Just upping your pledge would not do anything reward wise. Like steveadamo stated above the best and i believe only option would be to create multiple accounts on kickstarter and pledge 45$ on each to get 2 additional keys per account.

    Actually, I am sure if you ask them a question through the kickstarter (they are fairly responsive), you could probably arrange extra keys by upping your pledge. Better than the hassle of multiple kickstarter accounts.

    Okay, so I've sent them a message via KS... if I don't get a reply by the 23rd, I'll see about creating additional KS accounts. Do you know if I'd be able to tie multiple KS accounts to a single Amazon account, or would I have to set up multiple Amazon accounts (and what would Amazon think of me using the same card across multiple accounts if so?)

    I have never tried, though I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pay each individual kickstarter account with the same amazon account.

    i think ive heard of folks (via the KS comments) that have opened additional accounts and paid with the same base amazon account...

    i still think thats the most direct method to get what you're looking for...

    As far as I know you will only be able to get more codes with another KS account :/ And yes, I believe you only need 1 amazon account.

    (Also, mind giving me a headsup when you're going to do a contest for one ;3? I was going to use a Visa Gift Card to give the KS 25$ but for some reason it keeps rejecting the card D: )

    I'll probably announce the contests around the 23rd. I'm still hoping for a response from Sauropod, because I have some other backing- and tier- related questions, but if I don't hear back from them I'll be announcing them around then.

    I intend to make at least one or two contests as random as possible (depending on how many extra codes I can afford) so that no one will be automatically excluded due to lack of skill. I also intend to hold a different contest for every extra code I get, so people can enter into the contest that they think they've got the best chance of winning :)

    Also, I will probably ask all entrants to message me on IRC, so if you're interested, make sure you've got a way to get on IRC (try http://castlestoryonline.com/pages/irc/]the web IRC client[/url] and make sure that works, if you can't/don't want to install a client)!
