calculatedChaos Gaming

It's official, we are now an LLC (Limited Liability Company).

So what does that mean? Personally for me it means that I can conduct business for calculatedChaos that I am not personally liable for. For instance, if someone decided to sue me for something that someone on the server did since I run the server, the suit goes against the company and not me personally.

It also gives me the ability to deduct business expenses, such as photoshop and other software, server space and other hardware, a better internet connection to stream the servers on the internet etc. if I can justify it as a legitimate business expense.

None of this really matters to any of you guys short term but could benefit everyone in the long term. One thing that I am looking at now is other streams of revenue. Obviously more money would mean more stuff for the community (servers for different games, prizes, etc). I have always shied away from this stuff because most systems that generate revenue like that require some kind of tax id in order to receive payment and I didn't really want to pay taxes on the income when it would just go right back out to the community. Now that I have a federal tax id for the company, I can directly deduct expenses from any income from those services and not have to pay anything out of pocket.

In any case, I am looking at integrating an arcade into the forum. The arcade allows ads to be posted on the games themselves and then shares revenue between the creators of the games and the people that host the games (us). I am in the beginning stages of getting it all working but if any of you folks want to help me, you could play a few rounds of 'Tower Defense' on my sandbox site: http://captainangry.com/arcade/warzone- ... -extended/

So we're a company...

All the admins are employees...

All the members are interns...

Everyone who uses our server is a customer...

And you can buy photoshop with our business expenses?

Makes total sense.

could you get me a really really cheap version of photoshop for school? something under 400$? lol jk this is great to know. does this mean you could employ? *sends resume*

It does mean we can employ but we would have to make money before I could pay anyone.

FYI, with 19 ad impressions for that one game we have already earned $.04. I will be able to have thousands of games (although I refuse to post terrible games) and should be able to get high scores that are unique to our site.

This definitely has some potential. Also, I would imagine clicking on the ads would help but I'm not entirely sure that matters.

So...

Since we're a company, we can have any random job we want since it amounts to almost for now?

*Calls resident Video Game Programmer and CFO (Financial Manager)*

*Votes for Divine Fate for cC Vice President*

i can get you photoshop for free. its a college level one.

The only problem I know of with the collage level one, at least if it's the same as my art school friends had, is that it is a two year license. That means you have to have an internet connection in order to start it up and then after two years it doesn't work any more.

Still testing the arcade out before I make the real one.

Disabling your ad blocker and clicking on the ads helps.

Fantastic Idea Captain, I do have one question though. Do we have to make new accounts on that game site or can we still use our forum accounts?

New account.

Don't worry about making an account on there. That's just a test site I made to work some stuff out.

I plan on making it work with the forum accounts once I move it over to this site.

interesting

I like it,
but i got a question. When were we ever sued?
and that game is Very easy

So to allow for easy customization of our new business, you might need to post the files used to create the logo. And if they are lost or are unrepeatable how about a new one?

You have the logo. I told you I can't put it on a transparent background for you because It's a goddamed fractal.

Look it up.

Now the question is, if i decide to sue for sexual harassment, who gets the bill?

You because you aren't my employee.

I wanna be the janitor.

I wanna be the Dwight of the office

We really need a VIP type donator bonus, and a semi-frequent nag to get VIP in the TF2 chat. Some of the people on the funserver would pay through the nose to custom hats/skins in the server. Who knows, maybe the server could pay for itself one day and we could get an extra specialty server like zf, vsh, or an rpg server (which rakes in buckets of cash).

Maybe, donators get Like a special theme entence, like when captainangry comes in the server.

Not to bring this server up again, but on Axl's server, during setup time, they get a sprite above their heads (like the dominating one) that says "axl's donator." They are also immune to any form of damage in humilation mode - something that does not affect any real gameplay.

This is ok.

As long as I don't see people wearing cars...
