1. Start GoFundMe Page

2. Advertise some idiotic cause in need of funding like paying off your speeding tickets or proving that the earth is flat.

3. Watch money pour in from crowdfunding morons.

4. Divert said funds to WITP 2.

What do you mean the world is not flat? What kind of blasphemy is this? Next you will be saying that the IJN isn't the best navy in the world.

The flat earther, Rapper B.o.B, who once famously argued with Neil Grasse Tyson about the Earth being flat, started a go fund me page a few days ago to raise money for the launches of several satellites into orbit that will somehow prove the opposite of what satellites (not to mention hundreds of years of science) have been proving for decades.

Either the stoopid is strong with this one or I'm thinking he's doing this as a desperate attempt to revive a flagging career. What's scary is that Go Fund Me works less as a crowdfunding site, and more as a digital tip jar. There’s no real accountability to make sure he uses the money for what he says, or has to prove or give back anything to his donors at all.

WitP AE is WitP 2.  What you should be asking is there going to be a WitP 3.

It would be interesting to see what the project would cost and how it would proceed.

Scope it properly, it may not be a mountain, just a tall hill.

It would be interesting to see what the project would cost and how it would proceed.

Scope it properly, it may not be a mountain, just a tall hill.
This has already been done on the previous go-around on the topic several months ago. IIRC, with input from Alfred and wdolson, the minimum for development would be over USD $2 million.
At the rate people here are making suggestions for changes I expect it would be more like $5 million.
There would be no recouping the costs, so it could only be done "for the love of the game"!

EDIT: Just saw this news item about a guy paying nearly $38 Million for a very plain Chinese bowl. Perhaps we could tell him we will be producing a very old Chinese game and ask him to pre-buy a copy for a similar amount ...

If they could keep the game play and concept intact and maybe beef the graphics up a bit without ruining it then yes I'm all for it. But if they were to make it the same as WiTE with that game engine then forget it. Never ever figured it out and haven't bought another game since. Ruined it for me
