A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

Not Another Dime! is dedicated to documenting the assorted, and sometimes wild, details of Mr. Ken Whitman's business dealings within the Role Playing Game (RPG) industry. This place is NOT intended to be a medium of discussion about Mr. Whitman, pro or con, but instead be a "jumping off" point to enable the reader to make their own informed decision about Mr. Whitman's history and business character. (Editor's Note: After years of this documentation, we simply cannot be anything BUT "con" when it comes to Mr. Whitman)

Whenever possible, links to the original source material will be provided, but in many cases that information may have been deleted or secured behind restricted-access (like a private Facebook page) accounts.

Anything posted here is the opinion of the retrospective author and any content shown is to be considered "fair use" and posted for educational purposes only.

Note to authors: Please begin each post with the original date of the event being documented in the format of YYYY.MM.DD (i.e. If the event being recorded happened on March 15th, 2015 and today's date was August 8th, 2018 the beginning of the post's title would be 2015.03.15 and not 2018.08.08) so readers can use the Chronology page to find specific information. Please use appropriate tags when possible for the same reason.

Note to contributors: If you have some valid data to send, screenshots, links to other Ken Whitman stories, etc., please feel free to send a gmail to notanotherdimeblog. We'll look into it and post if appropriate.

Some Numbers Just Don't Add Up on Kenny's Latest Kickstarter

 

Some Numbers Just Don't Add Up on Kenny's Latest Kickstarter
So it shouldn't be a surprise that Ken "Whit" Whitman's Kickstarter, that he's CLEARLY heavily involved in despite assertations to the contrary, has made it's goal since it was only $2500...

......but did it really?

On a whim one of our field researchers decided to do some quick math and add up the number of backers and the "contributions" listed and her numbers didn't quite add up. Not wanting to be made fun of, 'cause maths is fun(!), she went ahead and submitted not only a graphic spelling it out, but a quick excel spreadsheet and it all checks out.

Now, yes......people CAN donate more than the amount shown, but on average more than $10 more than the pledge amounts? Even if that were the case......one of the big donors might have tossed in a handful of Benjamins ($100 bills), but why would the Patron count be short as well? Yeah something doesn't add up at all.

Here are the nine pledge levels:

Here is a breakdown with some overlaid simple math:

Unmortal's Numbers

We're literally 9 backers and $511 off between the two counts.....something just seems off, but of course it has since day 1!
