Aah, thanks. Hopefully that gives me a good chance, although since some 6000 backers also pledged in the first couple of days, who knows...
The Kickstarter has the following text;
"Your name forms part of the naming database (so your name will be one of those used randomly for non-player in-game characters), plus all rewards above."
"Your name" is this context means your actual real-life name. There is no mention of "the name you choose". The text says your name.
Then as you see it goes on, to say your name will be used randomly for NPC characters.
"Used randomly" could mean any number of things, including a name database where names are chopped and combined.
The KS text specifically says NPCs.

Nice, didn't spot that. Glad to see mine does indeed say 06 Nov 2012, so I'm a day one backer! Usually I'm pretty late to find out about these things.
got mine in on the 5th November, i was among the first of the pledgers. i do remember being shocked seeing the amount go up to a qtr of a million within the first few days, i think there may have been about 150 pledgers before me.

Odd, it says launched Nov 6th on the Kickstarter page. Was it actually open before then? Or are you cheating by being in a different country.
Still, day two backer ain't too bad...
shows
Launched: Nov 5, 2012
Funding ended: Jan 4, 2013
when I look at the KS page
Since it ended at 7pm on Jan 4, My guess is it launched at 7pm on the 5th (pure guess)
My pledge was some point before 9:45 am on Nov 6 due to the KS email about backing the project.
Completely useless stats froms kicktraq!! (unqiue backers per date)
Nov 5 - 351 backers
Nov 6 - 5826 backers
Nov 7 - 1267 backers

I had quite the opposite in mind as to what FD would do.
If you put a name like "John Smith" then they would split it into 2 parts and add each one to a database. Then randomly pick names from each to make a new one via some procedural process - Add a few more for variety and voila - naming routine done!
We wait to see
Exactly what I was thinking.
The logical purpose of using one's name in a random generator is if the first and last names are split up. Otherwise it's not random generation if you just copy the full name over to an NPC.But if you are Adam Vance for instance then each part will be added to a separate list, so you will see a lot of Adams around and a lot of Vances, and yes - by random occurrence - sooner or later you will come across an Adam Vance NPC.
During the KS I was debating wether to go for the £75 pledge level or not, because I was interested in access to the Backers' Forum. However, that pledge level included a lot of things I'm not interested in or have no use for (boxed copy, access to second round of private beta, digital copy of soundtrack, my name forming a part of the naming database, digital copy of the sequel to The Dark Wheel) so in the end I decided against it.
Do you think you will be offering further refinements to upgrading our pledge levels in the future, so that it would be possible for me to pledge to get what I'm really interested in? Backers' Forum access for instance is not a "limited edition" pledge so there's no conflict there. I can understand you not wanting to drop the price for access to the DDF forum only, for instance.
I just didn't think of that, must be getting old
'Getting' Old? *smirks
Also for those trying to guesstimate their chances of getting their chosen name, don't forget even if you were the 2nd person to pledge, it only takes one person to have chosen the same name before you to leave you having to find a new name.
Finally, the I would like to offer my condolences to the poor soul who has to check though every single name request.

I was one of the first to back it too...
Then my paranoia and superstitious nature kicked in, when I noticed that it was the 13th project I had backed...
So my official day of backing did change somewhat...

Well, if you do, don't expect anybody to talk to you, since most of us us have no idea how to enter those chars as they are not on our keybords and require either charmap or some freaky ALT+0xxx keypresses.
I mean it gets difficult to distinguish between ÀÃÁÂÄÅ as you age and then your eyesight says NO :S Especially in the middle of a heated battle
I am lucky, the commander name I want is not on the list.
Since it's my own nickname, I was very happy to see that.

Wot no Data?
Yay, another mission
I definitely want to hunt down my named NPC. No, hunt down is wrong, find, I definitely want to find my named NPC.
