A new continent?

[Tom]

Serious question: How many people would help me out with spreading the word if I were to set up a kickstarter for this? Marketing is the most important part of such a project. If you don't get out the word to the people who'd enjoy something like this, there's no way to get the money.

Getting a posting on RPS would be a dream come true.

Personally, I'd like to see a bounty kickstarter to pay some developers to take time off-work to fix BM bugs. Maybe get a price for each bug, the cheapest one is the funding level, and the additional bugs are stretch goals?

What's RPS?

rock paper shotgun?

Well that sounds seriously unfair.

I'd figure it'd be more Rock-Papers-Spock, because Spock defeats all.

I think a shotgun could defeat Spock.

He would bleed green blood all over the place.

Pfft... How little you know. Paper disproves Spock.

!@#$ the rules! Spock defeats all!

I've seen a much-more complex version than that actually. The relationships between symbols are further confuddled.

That's kind of the idea, I think.

Problem here is as soon as it becomes monetary, you lose intrinsic motivation and it will take more money in the future to fix bugs, which is a very bad direction to go.  Good thinking though, making random money on kickstarter seems surprisingly easy.

Also TIL RPS == Rock Paper Shotgun.

I'd be willing to spread the word, because of BM, but I still don't know what you are planning, Tom.

[Tom]

I know about commercial being a different animal, which is why BM stays free.

But I have something in mind that would not work as a hobby because the scale is too massive. And yes I know I have been light on the details. I'm writing down stuff ATM and will make it public soon.

You can bet your shiny Admin Cap that we're looking forward to it. :-)

I've written to a few sites in the past that cover roleplaying games and browser games, didn't see anything pop up sadly .

Maybe it would be beneficial if an admin or dev took the time to talk to the admin, explain the game. Give them an indepth tour of the history and crazy things that happen in the player generated history. I definitely recommend showing some stuff from Dwilight.
