No, but ask him a couPle questions for me:

Is it going to be larger or smaller than WoW?
When he replies it will be bigger, ask how long he sees it taking to develop and how much money. A nice wikipedia search reveals WoW took 4-5 years to develop in its original form, and cost 63 million to make... And Blizzard had the brand identity, infrastructure, etc from the Warcraft series. Not to mention the setting

How do you ask questions? Chat? I think I might be able to watch.

I like how he didn't specify a time zone. I know it's EDT, since he lives in Maryland, but it's almost like he's never used the internet before.

Damn it.  Including Kickstarter, pre-orders and alpha funding, I have now paid for 23 games that do not exist yet.

I'm still puzzled by the request for $5000.  It's both too big and too small to be realistic.  It's way to much to expect for an amateur shmup/danmaku (everyone's first coding product) and way to little to provide living expenses for a one-man team for any reasonable amount of time.
Depends on where the developer lives. I could live (modestly) on $5000 for a year, which should be enough time to make a fairly complete sidescroller or even a short isometric RPG. Hm, now I'm actually thinking about trying it when I get a functional demo. Do freeware games without donation rewards do reasonably well on Kickstarter?
