How Much Would You Pay To Stop Derek Smart
This isn't a thread for insults or the like.

I'm asking you in all seriousness how much you'd be willing to donate via pay pal or some other similar agency so that we could buy the licence as a community and prevent Derek Smart from developing FS3.

DO NOT post silly answers. I was the amount you would really put your hand in your pocket for.

ONLY make one post. The number of posts will be counted against the number of votes.

I'm working dollars (roughly equivalent to the Euro about 1.5 dollars to a pound).

This thread is just to get an idea of what sort of level of cash we could raise. We'll be round with the collection tin later if it looks like it might be worth it. Obviously some people will pledge support but not give it while other people will join late and give a donation.

BTW when one of you admins post can you tell us if the possibility exists of giving anyone who does donate a special avatar to recognise their contribution?

Funny thing is I just proposed on the NW forum half jokingly about a paypal account.

I'd be willing to shell out $50. If we got everyone to shell out between $25-$50 we could raise enough money to outbid.

$50, it'd be worth it.

I don't think we'll raise enough though.

if it's not just to spite this Derek guy, then yeah... $50+

so what's going to happen once the rights ARE ours? (if it even happens... you've got some great competition you're up against...)

I have few bills, and it's been that way for years, so I have a decent amount of money I do nothing with. Nonetheless,  I'm probably capped at $1000.

I'll put that up only if we really will get the license, and we'll really do something with it. Pissing in Smart's face, in itself, isn't worth it by any stretch of the imagination.

I could easily pitch in a 50, and could probably con my roomates to contribute too, so 60-100 bucks.

Once we have the rights, what would we do?
A good question to think about... are we doing this just to spite Derek?  or for a real cause.  making a game isn't just getting rights, everyone on their free time pitching something in, and then marketing it... there's a lot more involved.  one of the reasons (remember) that FS2 didn't do well was because of the poor marketing on the part of Interplay.  Marketing takes money, a lot of it, a large investment, as does the time and energy into making the game.  i'd be willing to do everything on my part to help, but where exactly would we start, and how would we go about it?
