I have faith in your Kickstarter abilities. If the Yogscast can make half a million dollars for their shitty game, remember that no matter what you earn, you'll probably make enough to each buy yourselves a shiny new shopping cart AND a gumball.

Someone fix this.

1. Good idea. I think I suggested starting with a Lunar resort/secret military vase a while back.
2. There's no way we have enough stuff we're willing to sell to make a single colony anywhere.
3. Very risky.
4. That sounds like our warplan, and it requires a lot of resources to actually set up.

In short: Lunar resort.

Great, Someone draw up a powerpoint presentation, and Greatwyrm will be making the pitch. Everyone else, go find investors.

A possible 5th would be to contact some of the companies that are working upon construction of new space craft and volunteer to go up (must make sure that all volunteers are from bay12)
Risks:High due to flying experimental aircraft.

Yes!  Somebody!

Well, it would be good to get some experience in spaceflight before we locked ourselves into a tiny box of life in freefall for many months.

Okay, I'm ready to start a bay12 space program on kickstarter, what should I write?

I would say a simplified version of the first post such as this, with the inclusion of a link to this thread:

The Bay 12 Space Program

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Read this first! For those of you who are new to the Program, please be aware that this was once a thread on how many people play Dwarf Fortress, hence the first few posts being about that. The full Bay12 space program starts around page 3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
Welcome to the Bay12 Space Program! Here, our "highly trained" group of scientists, engineers, strategists, biologists, psychologists*, and horologists, dream that we, Bay12, will rule the stars with a steel, *≪+fist+≫* (Menacing with spikes of pig bone). This dream may seem far off, but we have made surprising progress. We are populating Mars with test-tube babies, destroying earth with gauss guns and asteroid bolos, and ... err ... I should censor that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
This is the "open discussion" branch of the Bay12 Space Program. This is were you just talk about random things that have to do with colonizing space, to come up with new ideas, and to just discuss the program in general. The reason this thread exists, is to seed new ideas that can contribute the the program in the future. The Bay12 Space Program - Logistics & Info, is were we set certain objectives, reaserch spesific things, and work toward the future!

Leave out the part where we conquer the solar system, 'kay? That might turn people off.

[Helgoland]

I always thought we could first conquer a backwards african country, then start selling drugs and stuff while exploiting the locals.

Pros: Realistic, only needs weapons and plane tickets.
Cons: Those natives have guns too. And the UN will be angry with us, but even Assad doesn't care about that.

[miauw62]

We could get some agents in the UN, have them booze up all of the other UN so they never judge us.

A bigger issue than the UN is the countries that have power. Remember what the US did to Saddam Hussein? He didn't even have any plans for world domination!

Better idea: Conquer some country ruled by horrible dictators that the US hates, then run it well. We'll get plenty of wealth and positive PR.

don't forget to hide all evidence about our children slaves .

[misko27]

Perhaps we should open another thread, but ine where we don't talk about slavery, world-conquering, and that jazz, and just focus on the space aspect. For PR purposes. I'm nnot linking anyone to this thread.

[Slayerhero90]

There will be no slavery. I do't even know where you conjured that idea from.

[misko27]

Forced labor camps? What do you thinl those are then? play-pens.

Wait, someone agrees with me?
