I have thought about it, and unless the cost to build this thing through my own financing is prohibitive, I won't be doing any sort of shared ownership. The reason is quite simple. Any sort of joint investment and or revenue sharing arrangement will necessarily involve legal documentation, decision making structures, and tax liabilities for which all involved parties will be responsible. This presents numerous headaches and likely management hassles that I believe add more complexity than is necessary, especially for a site which is not likely to be a significant income generator (likely zero for the first few years) and for which I will immediately be adding to my debt in order to create.
My goal is to do as I believe Red Dwarf said, to create what the community has been asking of Bryan for three years. I am willing to front the money for it and put it all together. If I should make a few bucks on it after a few years into it, so much the better. I'd settle for breaking even as long as the community is happy with what I can do for it. In short, I want to get people having fun and playing again on a community friendly site hosting the best Risk like game, as quickly as possible.
