GSI

"How is "this means financial investment" defined? Is there a "we get
a share" part to this? Stocks?"

Nope - no shares for £500/$900 - if you want to invest "serious"
monies get in touch off list (and for that you'll get
shares/dividends - but we're looking at figures of £5k etc for that).

For the £500/$900 (or multiples of this) you get free turns. As
long as you keep that money in your account (feel free to spend it on
turns that's fine) then you get that small bonus of the free turns.

What it gives us is some of the capital needed so that we can afford
to buy GSI. Long term you support us as well, and that means that
we can improve the game etc. For those worried about major changes -
don't be - we certainly aren't going to fix what ain't broke.

One thing we'd like to do is get the program onto PC - that would
immensely streamline things - therefore we could then cut down prices
(as mentioned before if you guys play more games at less cost that's
effectively the same for us - and that's fine).

Another thing - if we do get GSI then we'd get a programmer (part-
time) to work on the game. So we'd be able to do variant games with
a click of a button rather than the hours of labour intensive, and
error prone, work that we have to do now.

So to be clear, if you buy GSI the company, you get MEPBM the program. It's
now your own personal possession to hack and nick around with at your
leisure?

If that is the case, I'm sure you're prepared for a few members to have
something to say about making changes to the program. What can the customer
base expect in regards to changes to the code? Do you have some general
ideas as to how you want to handle this line of debate? Solid assurances
given that the core game will be untouched, etc?

Regards,

Brad Brunet
