I am 26 years old. I grew up in Southern California. My undergraduate degree is in business administration. Upon graduation I moved to Philadelphia to become a Financial Institution Specialist for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to help out with the financial crisis.

After 2 years, in 2011 I moved back to California and went to work for an internet startup social networking company as a hard working seasonal intern. Upon completion of the internship, I floated around some various ideas for this project, and began on my journey of creating this particular website.

To be honest, we are primarily concerned with creating a beautiful product. If we can create a valuable tool that the world uses on a regular basis, then we have done our job at Statpedia. We may consider marketing to users in different ways, but those ways may be two years before we make decisions on how to advertise. If you are interested in advertising on our website please contact sales@statpedia.com to discuss your thoughts. We are here to make people happy, if we can figure out how to do advertisements in a way that makes people happy, then that is good.

I think if we tried we could probably get Ian McLean (the business guy), Keith Burgun (the ideas guy), and that Losethos guy together.

The reality is... statpedia can live forever with this collection of stats. When all those academics die, then who is to say what?

Muad'Dib could indeed see the Future, but you must understand the limits of this power. Think of sight. You have eyes, yet cannot see without light. If you are on the floor of a valley, you cannot see beyond your valley. Just so, Muad'Dib could not always choose to look across the mysterious terrain. He tells us that a single obscure decision of prophecy, perhaps the choice of one word over another, could change the entire aspect of the future. He tells us "The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door." And always, he fought the temptation to choose a clear, safe course, warning "That path leads ever down into stagnation."

There's nothing stopping them from making a space game and using Saints Row or Red Faction or a completely new IP.

Maybe they don't think it would sell. I mean as cool as elite dangerous looks to be, I can't see it being a huge blockbuster.
