Just curious as to what depraved, maniacal acts you people would do.
Just to give you a good comprehension of his INSANE amount of money...
If you were given it, retired right now (or if you're even just a student and never were employed), never earned another penny, and spent a million dollars every single day, you could never possibly live long enough to spend it all.
-
That or purchase a small, nuclear-armed nation to reestablish the communist bloc and piss off the US. Prolly get sick of ruling pretty fast, and turn it into a quasi-anarchist or absolute democratic nation, after I'd taken a couple potshots at the Pentagon.
-
1.) Create a video game to test those of outstanding ability and recruit them to operate the secretly constructed army of battlemechs and starships I have amassed and then TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE!
2.)oh yeah - world peace, save the enviroment all that stuff...
3.) find a hair restoration process THAT REALLY WORKS! (this really should be #2 on the list huh?) :nod:
-
I would buy off any company that owns the rights for FS, then I would use those companys to make nothing but FS novelty items, now everyone can have the 32 hour Colossus model kit, the SF Mara coffee mug, the GVC Aten paper weight, the Hades floor lamp, the Herk II key holder, the Ravenna coat hanger, and a cuddly plush Hatshepsut toy, then we can go into the Shivan, Vasudan, and Terran action figures :D :D
-
Whatever you do....
Don't give them a 'kung fu grip'! Especially the Shivans (3)?
Having GI Joe flashbacks.......
"A real GTVA Hero, GI Joe is there, Fighting for freedom on Capella or Altair, GI Joe is there!" UGH! Shoot me!:lol:
-
It's all already been said.
However, I think that Gates' fortune is pretty safe with him. It's not like he's investing in Evil™, and he has enough consumables that he can now give head-spinning amounts away.
Which is, y'know, nice.
-
hell , i'd rule the world
-
I would spent most of the money to do good, for example to give money for those poor people who can't afford enough food or clean water! :(
Next would be a lot of money to space technology. ;7

IF? no no, when
probably I will do absolutly nothing with it. it will sit in some stupid bank account and do a-b-s-o-l-u-t-l-y nothing. I have no need for money.
-
to hell with poor/old/homeless/poor people... i'd buy um. what am i looking for... no not an escalade.. jeez... um... what's that you say? a U.S. Presidency? Well if Bush can do it, then why not me, hmm?
-
I'd buy lot of stuffs, what do you think? :p
but I would keep working, coz man I feel bad when I don't work ( scarry, i used to think the exact opposite a couple years ago ). I'd probably wouldn't care if my PC had a pb, I'd just buy a new one, for exemple ( yeah, I'd build a full network for myself -I have lots of friends :D- :p )
I'd also go to a pshychanalist (sp?) coz there's no way that would happen and so that'd me I've turned mad.

I think I'd buy the moon, and charge people to look at it. ^^;
-
I'll buy some 'Mechs off Star Dragon...
Otherwise I'd be giving it to someone who cares.
-
1 - Buy entire street over, cover with retractable glass bowl, demolish the house of neighbours I don't like :devil:
2- found football team in back garden. (stadiuum built on top of remains of neighbours houses)
3- Get Ibrox / Hampden debentures
4- Build a walk in aquarium
5 - Buy a small Scottish island and move it to the Caribbean (more fun than buying a caribbean island)
6 - Build a concert hall underground, hire the winners of Pop Idol to play in it, then detonate a below-ground thermonuclear warhed. Repeat with all annoying boy bands / pop groups, excepting the attractive women :D

6) Build a base on the dark-side of the moon

even with bill gate's money you couldn't get half of that, and anyway i got you killed first coz that's evil :p
-
12) Kill Venom and Bill Gates.
-
I'd buy a bunch of things.
But, I'd have to buy the FS rights and Volition, so we'd get are FS3! That would take up a sizable amount of change. You also get the benfit of owning a game company.
1.) Create a video game to test those of outstanding ability and recruit them to operate the secretly constructed army of battlemechs and starships I have amassed and then TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE!
Sweet Movie! I love it. But I'm not going to tell you what it is. lets see if anyone else knows it. I think thats what started my obsession with space fighters, or maybe Starwars, maybe both?
-
hi an0n... Can i be with you?:)
-
I would do almost exactly the same things as an0n. :D
-
I'd do these things:
A) Build a particle beam weapon
B) Crack Fusion or Zero-point power, whichever came first
C) spend money on pro-GM and Nuclear power campaigns.
D) Fundamentally oppose religion in any possible way.
E) utilise the particle beam weapon to scare off bullies like the US.
F) Use revenues from Fusion/ZP power plants in addition to the startling turnaround my software company would show as far as the IP debate goes to setup a corporate-sponsered utopian nation.
G) see how things go from there.
-
nah, you'd try to conquer the forums, brainwash DaveB, but finally get kicked out until you come back for revenge :D
-
Too much money, cant decide :shaking:

Black text: The Last Starfighter
And yes, that movie, along with Flight of the Navigator, were the ones that probably inspired me, too. :D

oh yeah, I'd give money to the gvt so they hire more cops, i'm fed up of all the cars being forced open, I know nobody who hasn't been victim of those damn thiefs ( save me, but my car looked so old I guess nobody would have thought of finding anything interesting in it )

Hire me, please ;7 :thepimp:
Here's what I'd do, in order:
1. Buy new PC, maybe even 2
2. Quit job, work on FS.
3. Get new engine for my '74 beetle so I can sell it
4. Wife would make me buy a new house
5. Buy a commercial space transportation company, even if it's losing money :D
-
I would build a huge fleet of colony star-ships, and get most of the human-race off this planet while we still can.
And I would also buy myself a residence on Luna for good measure. :cool: :wink:
Stargazer.
-
I would purchase all the humour in the world and keep it in a jar at home, living the most interesting and exciting life in the world. Yes, more exciting than you, peons.

Good thing beam weapons are precise then huh. ;)

"places a deflective shield above Kamikaze"
Go Japan! Btw, for Sony's price, check the bourse ( english word? ), BG doesn't have that much :)
-
Hm let's see. If I had all of the Bill Gates's fortune, I would constructa a BIIIIIG orbital plasma (beam cannon) and other mini beam turrets ( to defend it) in the Earth's orbit and I would shoot down at Pentagon, CIA, FBI and all American bases and organizations that harmed all those innocent people and ruined those poor suffering countries. Heh, a good plan for World Peace and total annihilation of America's military.
-
By the way,
GO YUGOSLAVIA!!!

Better make sure the girls are in there first... otherwise that would sort of defeat the point of the whole operation ;7
-
Well, i think i'd keep Bill's billions for a rainy day. :p
... other than that, the only thing i can really think of at the moment would be to fly to Italy to see my friend Amy, who's out there for a few months...

1)buy Rhode Island, just for the hell of it
2)build a huge house on rhode island
3)buy Taco Bell
