The amount of transparency with this KS is AMAZING! Thank you so much. Getting an inside look at how these Chinese factories run is really interesting. It's incredible the number of people involved with each board. Dozens of individuals touch each set.
@@sybrwookieI'm a GM at a textile manufacturer and we wouldn't be in business if we tried to manage the heat and humidity of our plant with AC instead of rotating people in/out of extreme areas, providing gatorade and electrolyte frozen popsicles, and providing them with uniforms designed to cool them. For some factories, heat & humidiity, is just part of the job and doesn't mean they are treating their workers poorly. That said, if you want to be concerned for the workers, I'd be looking at the lack of a workplace safety protocols or the enforcement of one if they have one. I'm no fan of OSHA (which I know doesn't apply here anyway) but they are working in Crocs, painting/sanding without respirators, and operating machinery without hearing & eye protection.
Amazing factory. I'm excited to get the elite board. I would also like one of their pool tables, would be good to find out a way to order directly from the factory.
I have been thinking about that too, I think we could arrange some of those next year. We may offer that on our next Kickstarter, it would be a PREMIUM, high-end table without the logo at half the cost!
I’m really disappointed that the backers who ordered the boards first have to wait. It seems the elite boards were being pushed a lot harder. Think about the people who were expecting shipping of the regular boards first.wothout them, you probably could not do the elite boards this round. Very disappointing.
He was talking in the email that the standard factory was - not replying to invoice - taking longer to do the work - messed stuff up that had to be fixed (pegs in last email) why are you disappointed that cheaper work gives cheaper results that takes longer to rectify? You can usually choose 2 out of three: quick, cheap, good.
I ordered the regular boards then he sent an email saying we could upgrade to the elite boards. He said the elite boards were better quality and would likely ship faster. So I upgraded. You didn't and that's fine. Is he supposed to spend money warehousing these boards and withhold them from their backers because your feelings will be hurt if you don't get yours first?

Boards are looking great, can't wait to receive mine! Also, that is one hell of a coke nail at 14:18
They’re doing some good work. That dude was a sweaty mess and he was just walking you around the factory.
This comment! It was so dang hot there!
@@maydaygames That's a shame to hear. I'd be much happier if they were treating their workers better and got them AC
