Are we doomed? The $40,000 MMO.

The other day, we reported on a new website devoted to connecting projects and developers.

At the time, we didn't notice that within the site, someone was soliciting bids on an Adult oriented MMORPG.

According to the listing:

We are looking to create an adult oriented MMORPG. The game would need to include 4 seperate areas each with their own abilities and weaknesses. A central location where all 4 realms can fight it out amongst themselves. Questing will need to be implemented for each of the realms. A public transit system to quickly reach other destinations, personal vehicles/animals & a housing district also need implementation. The game console will need to be able to play movies/slideshows. The overall feel for the game should be based on mainline Anime. We have some base characters that will need to be included into the game.

Anyone who's ever worked on an RPG or an MMO might be thinking another three letter acronym - WTF? There's lots here that doesn't make sense, but before we could get too far with that, we noticed this:

... and when you read that, you've suddenly forgotten the previous WTF. An MMO in 90 days for 40K? Right.
