			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hello Legionnaires!</strong></p>
<p>You guys and girls are <em><strong>awesome!</strong></em> We&#8217;ve reached 258% with $154,968 and 4,218 backers within the 30 days our Kickstarter was active! Thanks to you, we&#8217;ve been able to have a <em>few </em>members of our team go full time. Now we can dedicate the next 6 months to heads-down development.</p>
<p>For those of you that pledged, you will be receiving an email with a Kickstarter survey so we know how to distribute your rewards, so be on the look out for that.</p>
<p>Because we&#8217;ve had so much success with our Kickstarter, <strong>we&#8217;ve decided to extend our PayPal donations to May 9th!</strong> You can pledge any amount <em>up to $500</em> and receive the same Kickstarter rewards! This will be your last chance to donate before the Alpha comes out.</p>
<p>We cannot thank you enough for your pledges and support!<br />
<em><br />
Pardon our dust!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Survivors!</p>
<p>In case you&#8217;ve been hiding under a rock (we don&#8217;t blame you with all the zombies afoot!) you&#8217;ll know we&#8217;re currently bearing down on the end of our <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandswept/the-dead-linger">epic Kickstarter campaign</a> to get The Dead Linger fully funded for the next 6 months while we prepare the Alpha release! We&#8217;ve gone well over 200% funding and we are thrilled to bring you a fully funded zombie apocalypse. The more funding we get, the greater time and breathing room we&#8217;ll have to polish it up and bring you the best true zombie survival you&#8217;ve ever witnessed.</p>
<p>There are 70 hours remaining to <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandswept/the-dead-linger">pledge!</a> The Dead Linger will not longer allow you to pledge for awesome rewards (like <a href="http://www.thedeadlinger.com/archives/693">the Kickstarter!</a>) That&#8217;s right, Kickstarter funding ends on April 29th, at 4:00 PM, MDT.</p>
<p>You can also donate <a href="http://www.thedeadlinger.com/donate">via PayPal,</a> until April 30th, if you happen to miss the tail-end of Kickstarter! After these dates, you can no longer receive any of the rewards if you have not pledged, so spread the word and tell your friends! Don&#8217;t let them miss this.</p>
<p>Here is our latest teaser trailer, if you missed it, or want to throw something at your friends faces.<br />

<p><strong><a href="www.thedeadlinger.com/donate">Click here to learn more about how to pledge, before time runs out!</a></strong></p>
<p>Thank you all for your support, <a href="http://www.sandswept.net/forums/">forum activity</a>, helping us get the word out about The Dead Linger. We simply could not do this without you.</p>
<p>Thank you, Survivors.</p>
