Well, that's enough for now. I may post other ideas I have as I have them if there seems to be any interest in this thread.
God willing, I will someday come into obscene amounts of cash and be able to make all this hot air into reality.

Okay, this is far beyond a typical "Hey guys, I have some ideas for a game!" post. Are you currently affiliated with any of the Plan Z projects?
(And no, I haven't read the entire thread yet, just the Mechanics post so far, but I'm going to over the course of today.)

I'm not affiliated with any on-going projects at the moment. What you read above is more of a "pie in the sky" dream of mine than an actual plea for help in making it.
For one thing the project as I envision it is massive. I would plan on at least 3 or 4 Public zones each as large as Paragon right out of the gate. Basically I'd be STARTING with a game the size of CoH, CoV and Praetoria. Add to that the Private Cities, skills system and all the other bells and whistles I would want to be bundled in the first release and you realize I won't be paying my developers so much as BRIBING them not to give in to exhaustion and hopelessness.
I am quite serious when I say it would take Powerball winnings to accomplish. I figure it would be at LEAST 6 years of solid work time before we'd even have something worthy of taking to beta testing. That's a long time with a lot of money going in and none coming back. But, I will also say this... in my case it would be a labor of love and I would gladly sacrifice lottery winnings just for the experience of TRYING to create this monstrosity.
While you may think what I've written above is complicated and involved, it's not even a small percentage of what I have in mind and what will occur to me during creation if I ever get the chance to actually do it.

I dunno, it just seems a shame to lock up that much serious game design capacity on 'maybe someday' when Missing Worlds Media is working towards a reality now. It's not like joining them means you can never win the Powerball and leave to make this thing.

I've been buying lottery tickets ever since I discovered the Kickstarter lol.

While the money would certainly be appreciated, as I've said before, at this stage what we need and want are more backers. If you have friends, family, acquaintances, or areas of the internet you frequent where people might be interested but haven't yet heard, please spread the word. Let them know that even a minimal donation is enormous help, because we want that "backers" number as high as possible. We obviously would love to reach more stretch goals, but with the main target reached, we need more people more than we need more money from any one person.
More people will translate to more support of all sorts as we move on with production and develop as a company and business. It also is a good sign for our eventual success just based on interested audience.

So have I. Figured I took and believed in smaller chances of success, why not put in and maybe win some money if it succeeds.
If I won, there would be many things I would do as long as it doesnt lead or potentially lead of being broke before end of life (30-40 years). Min requirement to get what I wanted and live how I want without thinking about investments and still leave some behind. the min. is 5 million
