Let's see, with a 100 Mil I'd
1: Make sure that everyone who has help me out when my life was a living hell would be in clover for the rest of there days.

2: Every mother fucker that ever pissed me off would be getting a heavy judgement call from me, by the time that was done I'd be broke maybe.

3: All the web sites that I like including SD net would be set up with an offshore trust fund to keep them going.

4: I'd buy a small country and overhaul it and become a super power then I'd would watch it all crumble and sit back and enjoy the show.

5:Whatever the hell I want to do I'd do.

I would buy a software company with the money. That would ensure a constant souce of income. With the rest of the money I would buy a mansion and live a cosy life.

I dont think you could buy a country for 100 million dollars. An unhabited Island could be bought however.

just to ensure the security of my newfound millions, i'd also take a stop by the Super Villain Supply Store and stock up on all kinds of goodies, weapons and hi-tech gizmos to protect my future investments of property and evil lairs.

I would buy out Bungie and Volition as well as the Halo, Myth, and Freespace titles. I would have Bungie cease work on Halo 2 and have them fix and release a free Halo 1 improved for any gamer who bought Halo. This wouldn't be released on the X-Box because it would lessen the game. They would then rebuild Halo 2 for the PC and 2 years after its released, release it for X-Box. Bungie would also have to continue working on the Myth series.

Volition's sole job would be to continue making Freespace.

I would also set up a computer gaming store in my local town.

If we're talking in the milliions i'll basically do whatever the fuck i want.

In all serriousness i'd arrange a big party, maybe rent a Hilton for the week. All the GALE and BotM members are invited, in particular Colin who deserves to be on the other side of the bar for a while. Then i'd give a lot of the money to my family. How much i give depends on how much i like that person. After that i'd find a family of gypsies and ask them if they fancy a nice house in East Belfast, just to annoy my neighbours. Buy Stormont buildings and convert it back to a home. Then i can post here and play horizions till i die.

I would throw money at them untill they released Volition. Same thing for Bungie. I would also get the rights to all the titles these companies used to produce.

Myth
Marathon
Halo
Descent
Freespace

$1 million? Buy a house in melbourne, Buy a car (normal family sedan car) and find a job... Consider completing my Private Pilot Liscence and IFR rating.

$10 million? Buy a house in melbourne, and maybe another house to get rent... hell another house too... more rent. yay for not having to work. Have a GPS unit in my car. Complete the Pilot liscence. maybe to Commercial. Looking at creating a homemade full sized flightsim cockpit fixed base like this one

$100 million? I'v got me a house... a big house... a pilot liscence... a plane... properties to make me money so the expences balance with incoming. no more work. just rent money collecting. Buy Elli's parents a house. Hoard the rest for my own purposes :twisted: which include a full sized flight simulator cockpit with motion, connectable to Vatsim... or 2. (see this for the kind of idea

$Bill Gates (tm) million?

Okay, so I win a million dollars. After taxes thats gonna probably leave me 600,000 dollars.


I'd use the money to purchase a nice house. Since a nice house costs around 400-700 thousand where I live, I'd still have to work to pay for my property taxes and the mortgage on my condo which is currently a rental unit.

indeed :twisted:

that'd be better with bill gates million dollars... as in

*Hire private army and airforce*


Though with even $1 million you could go the "Buy sniper rifle on the black market"

With the bill gates millions I'd rig an election just because I could, not for any specific political reasons just cause I feel like messing with people. Heck wouldent even have to be a large election, any election will do.

Other than that save/invest it and fund some research later in abyssal trenches.

1 mil? Put in bank and live in a relatively poor country where everything's cheaper so I can live of the interest I don't have to work for the rest of my life.

10 mil? Put 2 mil in bank for interest, give 2 mil to family, spend rest on getting a slum or village in a poor country up it's feet by building proper housing and water supplies, and getting them decent work.

100 mil? Same as 10 mil but trying it on a complete country.

If I had enough money to not worry about it for the rest of my life? I'd give a few mill to my family, relatives and friends. Donate a few mill to charities and medical research.

Then I go crazy. I'll buy an old school (turn of the 20th century) and make it my home. Then I'd start building a bunch of research buildings all over Canada and hire all of the best scientists of their respective fields and give them a carte blanche budget. Hopefully, this way a bunch of diseases, illnesses, etc... can be cured or at least better understood. Find better ways of energy generation etc....


Oh, and I'd do a lot of travelling.

You are a very generous person. Few people would spend their fortunes to help others.

1 million?

Let see: 100.000 would go to a house, car and other stuff (electronics, computers, games and soft, broadband connection).

Another 100.000 would go for my family: my parents, my brother, my parents-in-law and my brother-in-law.

At least 300.000 would get into bank accouns (Swiss maybe?) :mrgreen: and not all in the same place. Or maybe in gold. And the interest will allow me to live without worries.

The rest of 500.000 I would invest into a bussines of my own. There's much to be done in Romania and a lot if possibilities.

I could invest some of them into real estate and rent the houses.The prices for a home here are quite high: 25.000-30.000 EUR for a two-room apartment when the medium salary in Romania is about 100 EUR.

But of course these are just dreams :roll:
