No, seriously. Do these suggestions sound as sub-optimal to anyone else as they do to me?
I'm going on the assumption that, should we set up something like this, all money goes to Yom. Which is fair; He does all the work, he pays for the server, he gets money. If other people start seriously deving then I guess they get a share of the cut, but that's neither here nor there. The problem proposed is that Yom won't want to set up a patreon because it would involve real life information. I don't think Yom refuted the prerequisite assumption so I'm going off it. To get money to Yom, you'd need a middle man to send any proceeds, via paypal, shall we say.
The requirements for this middle man would be at least the following:
Trustworthy
Financially independent
Responsible
Consistently active over a long period of time
Invested in FH
Emotional maturity
Why the fuck is this in spam?
Joshex is in CHINA, and in a fickle situation involving internet quite often, from what I've seen.
Gummy is a fuckwit. No offense.
Interestingly, Yom best fulfills those criteria himself.
Parpol or fluffy are best fits from my perspective.
Obviously this isn't the most important issue, though it is a requirement. If this ever takes off I'm sure it can be discussed more in depth. The legal requirements and viability of this project should be discussed first. Our frameworks aren't well equipped to handle that sort of shift in workload and that will be the biggest challenge.
Calm your dick-nips at the idea of paid development. Shit'll be tough to manage.
Yom is on board, yom will be handling teh funds, I will be supplying the identity.
Yes I'm aware the hardest part is figuring out how we are going to prepare projects for patreon, cause we will literally have to show somehting each month and it should be something playable and not broken just maybe with klacid style graphics as placeholders (I'm talking RECTANGLES F00
.
at least for now we are talkign about making the account, whether we put anything on it or not will depend on when we can get things ready for it.
