Wednesday 7 January 1970

7th day - 358 days to come

Felicia called. Bob Hubbard said the payment for all projects, except for the Enjay [spelling?], would be as follows, based on the amount of their profit:
$25,000-10% ($2,500)
$50,000-6% ($1,500)
$100,000-4% ($2,000)
$500,000-2% ($8,000)
$20,000,000-1% ($195,000)
($209,000)

I asked whether the % applied in each increment or whether as soon as a new amount was reached the % counted for all money. In other words if their profit is $30,000 would we get $2,800 or only $1,800. Probably the first is what they mean, but Felicia will check. She said I'd pretty much have to take it or leave it. Others are accepting it and she is doing a lot of business with them; also she is getting fees from them for consulting work. I said it was fine if the first interpretation is correct.
As far as Enjay is concerned, I will get $2,500 per game. On both contracts the games will return to me after 1 year. They will try to get my name on the games, but in any case no one else's will be.
Impact will be preparing a cigar promotion using Connor's PITFALL.
Felicia will be playing games tomorrow with Ruth Shaler in preparation for Friday's meeting with Bob Engel. I offered to come after work but they will be playing earlier in the afternoon. Felicia is proposing Ruth as treasure of I-S.

Jerry Dougherty called. He met Ed Hartman of TWA. He was quite enthused about GO SEE but has lots of changes he wants to sug- gest to make it proper for promotional purposes. Jerry it will take a few hours. We'll get together Friday at Impact after work. I mentioned Ruth Shaler and asked if she should be invited. He preferred not. He thinks that if I have to do a lot of work I should get something for that before we split the royalties.
He also thinks that if I just don't have time to do another board they can get professional artists to do it, but would pre- fer not to spend the money. The fee for a board similar to the one I gave him would be between $500 & $1000.
He is having a meeting with Enjay Friday and will let me know what happened.
I asked him if he tried TOTALLY--. He said he had a little trouble digesting the rules, but he finds reading rules boring all the time.

Had an idea for a rolling cube GAME. There is a good sized board divided into a grid with a maze-like pattern formed by heavy uncrossable lines. Players start with their cube in a starting space. Move by turning the cube from space to space. Start with a 1-minute timer and move until time is up or a red side is turned. Race to a series of objectives. (Rough idea.)
