My Roomie Ruslan Klickstarter

At the end of Season 12, Woodman launched a campaign on the crowd-funding site Klickstarter to finance the creation of My Roomie Ruslan: The Second Act. The series planned to feature Greatness moving in with Lang Richardson, resulting in an amusing reversal where Ruslan would be the one being annoyed by his roommates quirks and odd behavior.

The Klickstarter was a runaway success raising several times more than its initial goal. However the project soon ran into problems. At a recent game Richardson had thrown away a box of fellow player Yusef Puddles's dolphin masks because "they ruined the dugout's mise-en-scéne." In retribution, Puddles hacked into the Klickstarter project and changed the end date to always be one week in the future. Since the pledged money would only be transferred at the project's end, Woodman was left without a way to access the funds he had raised.

The ever-changing end date did little to slow the rate of pledges and the amount raised continued to inrease. Unsure what else to do, Woodman began adding stretch goals to the project. At first these goals included things like filming a bonus Christmas episode and upgrading the sets, but as they kept being reached the stretch goals became increasingly outlandish, such as cloning Ruslan or electing Richardson mayor of Philadelphia.

At some point over the decade-long Grand Siesta flans began to pledge things other than money to the project, including blood, souls, and secret names. The project is well on its way to meeting the next stretch goal of "turning Philadelphia into a shining utopia on a hill." Financial analysts worry that should the Klickstarter campaign ever end the resulting collection of pledged money and spiritual materials will result in an economic and metaphysical disaster in the greater Philadelphia area.
