New, eh? Have any alts?

Heh, nah. I mean Alternate accounts. You know, on Nonoba.

Why develop a Flash game when you can develop a game for the 360 and the PC at the same time for cheaper? After development of the Flash version, you (or someone else) would have to re-develop for the other platforms. This is a non-trivial task.

I have more questions, but I figured I'd lob them to you one at a time. ;)

Aye. I've been working in XNA for a while...was working on a game for the competition when they released 2.0, but my partner backed out on me. Despite my confidence in my own coding abilities, I didn't really have the time to do it all on my own before the deadline. Not to mention that Lone showed me a game that was similar in concept and superior in execution. :/

You might also consider game development in Silverlight. That would give the game the same potential web presence as a Flash game while at least letting you write the base classes such that they'd be usable in XNA.

That brings me to my next point. I think the expectations for a game are partially determined by the game's platform. A game written for the web (in either Flash or Silverlight) must contend with a different set of expectations from a game written for the PC or Xbox. This is another reason I'd be wary about writing a web game in Flash, gauging its success and determining whether or not the game should go to a different platform.
