Good evening, criminals!

There's a good chance, if you're reading this, you're doing it after you got yours, but... smoke tests are out to 5% of each tier's backers.

To anyone who's not used to the HUSTLE crowdfunding grind, smoke tests are early surveys that go to some backers to help squash the final bugs and blunders before they hit everyone else.

If you got your survey tonight, congrats! The BackerKit luck deity picked your lucky mug to weed out any bad choices I made late-night crunching these. In exchange for going first, I gotta ask you a favor. Please keep an eye out for any of these:

Catch one of these screwing up the survey? You've got options! Either...

Act quick and be thorough: I'll toss the first person to find each (possible) issue a 2" sticker of their choice.

Did you back for a CUSTOM CRIME badge? Watch for your email! I'll be sending those out to build the queue for artwork late this week. This'll be first-come, first serve, so once you get yours, make sure to respond as soon as you can. Be ready with a reference image/sheet, a crime, an expression for your convict, and the details of what physical print you'd like!

I'll do a better rundown on surveys when we get them to all backers. For now: if you got a smoke test, fill them out as normal, there should be instructions on the first "slide."

Oh yeah: if you're local, peep the local pickup locations. We are NOT doing convention pickup, but... if you're brave enough to go outside (gasp,), we have some nice, safe, public spaces I'll be hitting up to bring you your pins. See whichever is accessible to you, and I'll plan my visits based on who's gonna be where.

That's all, for tonight. Thanks for reading, and thanks for snitching on mistakes!
