Cause 50k is alot of money, much more then i expected if i am honoust. Now, i gave a brainstorm suggestion about selling caps, which is a bit clumsy when you need 50k. I still think it would benefit the company if they would sell caps, shirts, mergandise. But thats extra, not enough for licenses.Ok, but we still want to move on, from one table to the next one. TZ is now being kickstarted. I am afraid we will not reach it in time (why is there a time deadline anyway?). And if we do, i think next table will be very difficult. So, we need another plan to raise 50k for a license, and i have been thinking. Now, maybe its again, not a very good idea, but so far, i cant see why it would not work.The mission:- raise 50kThe plan:- Sell a brandnew Stern pinball machine, for example Tron pro. Lets for the easyness of this example say that one is 5k. (exclusive shipping)- Farside is selling the machine for 60k. But instead of selling it for 60k to 1 person (that person would be insain, ;-) ), they sell 10 dollar lottery tickets, 6000 of them.- every pinball fan in the world can buy 1 or more tickets.- when all tickets are sold, they will take 1 winning ticket (under supervision of laywer, for rights and stuff). That man wins the machine, and he will get it shipped to his house.- Farside earns 60k - 5k machine - shipping costs - some extra little costs = around 50k minimum.- Farside is gonne use that 50k for the next license to buy.What do you guys think, does these sort of ideas make any sense? I think its possible to do it like this.I think this would work, and not once, but they can do it maybe once a year. I would go for it, for 10 dollars supporting Farside AND have a chance for a brandnew pinballmachine.And i think thousands of fans will do it. We need 6000 of them, but looking at the kickstart pledges, there will be many guys that buy more then 1 ticket, so we dont need 6000 unique buyers, but less.I think it can be done.But maybe i am thinking like 'The Happy Wanderer' ;-)</blockquote>
