Unofficial Tex Murphy

Some of these below I get, but some are too much. I guess Tex's speeder is out of the question. The condoms on another project seemed to slip by.


Prohibited Items and Subject Matter

In addition to our guidelines, there are some things we don't allow on Kickstarter:

Alcohol (prohibited as a reward)
Automotive products
Baby products
Bath and beauty products
Contests (entry fees, prize money, within your project to encourage support, etc)
Cosmetics
Coupons, discounts, and cash-value gift cards
Drugs, drug-like substances, drug paraphernalia, tobacco, etc
Electronic surveillance equipment
Energy drinks
Exercise and fitness products
Financial incentives (ownership, share of profits, repayment/loans, etc)
Firearms, weapons, and knives
Health and personal care products
Heating and cooling products
Home improvement products
Infomercial or As-Seen-on-TV type products
Items not directly produced by the project or its creator (no offering things from the garage, repackaged existing products, weekends at the resort, etc)
Medical and safety-related products
Multilevel marketing and pyramid programs
Nutritional supplements
Offensive material (hate speech, inappropriate content, etc)
Pet supplies
Projects endorsing or opposing a political candidate
Pornographic material
Raffles, lotteries, and sweepstakes
Real estate
Self-help books, DVDs, CDs, etc
Promoting or glorifying acts of violence

Well I can see why a lot of the things are on the list just to reduce scams (pyramid programs) or any kind of abuse. But for some other things, it might be they're not very strict or specific about it until certain things get reported by a lot of people. Pornographic material could include the Leisure Suit Larry Kickstarter reward in a broader sense, but it may also be limited to stuff that actually shows graphic porn. Perhaps similar to some services such as Youtube, Twitch etc. they say it to keep themself being sued but don't do a lot about it unless people report something in for them to investigate, or its something obvious (e.g. showing actual graphic porn = insta-ban). But yeah the LSL reward was kind of surprising and I think it'd be best to avoid rewards like the Bourbon alcohol bottle that some had wanted in light of the restrictions just incase.

no offering things from the garage

B-but I want things from Aaron's and Chris' garages

weekends at the resort

But can I stay a weekend in their garages?

Promoting or glorifying acts of violence

So how is Carmageddon: Reincarnation is OK? (actually I kinda hope they make it)

carma is my favourite racing simulator since `97!
i hope they make it [in the vein of the first one]
and they don`t promote backers to kill cows and grannies to get the game actually

B-but I want things from Aaron's and Chris' garages

i doubt chris`s range rover will be one of the rewards

Hmmm, is Chris a Range Rover kind of guy? I'm thinking more luxury coupe...

He's in Utah and is 6'7. Surely the guy owns a SUV

Most of the restrictions sound like a pile of Junk anyway. I'm mostly disapointed by the alcohol ban!

yes

Must be the golf shirt in the latest photo. SUV most likely.

Hey I didn't remember Carl Linsky and Sonny Fletcher's names were already used in Plan 10.

considering that forthcoming kickstarter campaign is plan 9, I dare to assume plan 10 is from the future

they knew back then

Probably some time-travelling drugs.

Actually, that was the policeman.

Oh piss Um... um... is the drawing for Tex memorabilia allowed by these rules?

If it's now allowed, someone needs to fix that right now before it's too late! We didn't do all this work just to lose everything now over a stupid mistake!!!

I think if there was contest of a prize for a person guessing the kidnapper this would not be in the rules, but since there was no prize that was okay. I think its just classified as a extra tier reward

I really hope you're right
