Bag-o-event Ideas

Subject: Bag-o-event Ideas Sun Jun 22, 2008 7:02 pm

These ideas are more of spark-ster ideas, as in, they arent actually fully thought out, but could help out in "lighting" up the creativity sparkplug in your minds Very Happy

Enough with the pleasentries, lets dump the whole load of em!

Just in case you feel too impatient to read all of this text, siddle down to the end, there's a short summary of all of this. Neat, huh?

Idea Pile:
1- Screenshots! Who doesnt love em? Well, how about trying to do some tricky poses, cinematics, anything that can make the pictures seem alive! Hell, don't we all love screencapping all the things we do that make us smile? Well, try making a contest, (or a weekly event, eh) where we do what we must do, but we take screens along our jurneys, our Life Quests, anything funny or weird you saw, Creepy things (Smiling Male shuras in bondage outfits O.O), jeez, even awkward poses. To me, i think the purpose of these events is to (besides being promotion whores for Aeira, but this is DoMO, and hell, we have fun in it) bring out our creative selves. At some point in our grinding, we have to just go "hmm... that x monster there seems... odd".

This isn't "in-game" events, but they can serve well to promote the forums, and if that helps, we can make people more interested in Elder quests, thus booming up our fame and VIOLA~, we get more space for those who do wish to enter and not dissapear.

MOAR IDEAS

2- Pet Expo: What about Pets? We have them ,we play with them, we lvl them up. So why not try to showcase your pets? We could make an event once a month to show how they have evolved, any quirks they might have, using friendly duels (but with a good muse beside to supervise their health) to see the extent of their abilities.

Now, i know, many (read:75%) of the guild does NOT have pets on them. That's why i put this event idea in the pile; it sounds good, but it kinda needs to be tweaked to be a real event. I dont want to leave anyone behind (like the idea poster :< i dont have pets), but this could bring a bit more knowledge on other's characters and pets. We could just have fun seeing the many pets they have, and that alone is enough to warant some good times Very Happy

3-Snowball frenzy. The title is enough. All we need is to get a crapload of snowballs, find a good area where almost nobody is, and snowball the heck out of everyone in the guild. This might not be pretty compettitive, as it will be difficult to see who got hit last by who, but it can just make a day's grinding end in a sweet, puffball of ice goodyness

4-Raids. *Thanks to Ankle Slasher for providing the concept!* This could need a bit more explanation. Raiding, for me, is going into a town with a group of friends and making chaos. Now, the Prophecy is a clan that doesnt seem to warrant being banned by DoMO, but we can make sure to spread around some fun (and chaotic?) humor throughout DoMO's lands, via raiding.

See, an example of a good raid would be to wear the same outfits, glitch our whole clan with a funny looking emote on our faces, and parade, going to people (no harrassment) and cracking up a joke with them, being friendly, and being random. That's just a basic one, and i'm pretty sure most have done it. A good idea for a raid could also be to grab our monster catching mirrors, (those who are high lvl to catch the biggest, baddest ones), and to, all at the same time, activate them, and run around. Special points could go for those who fear the giant aggro monsters of an area, and scaring them with a rather-smaller version of the monster. Could do for some laughs. Again, this is just an example.

5-A Reunion in the Cottage: Well, we've been farming for a whole week, lets all just grab our gear and head tothe cottage. This event is purely based on what is currently going on, since all we can do is chat around, make fun, duel around, take pics, and even trade items and gold. This one doesnt sound too easy to pull off, and it can conflict with other's plans in the game. Still, if implemented, could make an afternoon very interesting.

6-Treasure hunt: alright, this one sounds TOO HARD .... but ... i felt it could be thrown here just to see what response it garners. See, the gist is, we could pick a certain NPC who has a quest. Now now, we know many of us have done quests, and we dont like repeating them.. .blah. BUT, the objective is, to assume into teams of 2, 3, 4, or even 5 each, (could go around 4 teams in total), and we will simply speak with the CENTRAL NPC, and after wards, we'd run off to grab those items they ask (Example: 2 teams of 5 talk with the lady who asks for the pupu mamas, they run off in their own directions (a bit of competitive nature, like kill stealing, may cause anger... but we could simply allow it for the purpose of finding the best spot and getting the best kill area Very Happy

), and after they complete it, they have to prove their completion by showing the Npc's item reward to the judges (could be one team leader from each team).

7- (i'm running out of ideas..)Guild Dueling. Could be used for friendly purposes or for compettition. Knowing Prophecy, we'd preffer friendly dueling, but the fact still matters, we are a guild, and showing the whole arena that we exist and we kick butt can definetly add more members and increase our morale. It can also help us exchange with friends after the duels, provided we keep them clean enough to avoid any harsh feelings.

8-SELL-OUT: This idea has to be one of my most ambitious, and certainly, it wont be liked much. But, hey, it's the thought that matters, no? Wink

See, here's what i think: We have a great load of items and farm'd items in the guild cottage. Some of us in our personal banks have items we dont need, but we keep them there just to make sure if someone needs them, we can provide. Now.... brace yourself... how about we sell em all? Not just a few here, but i mean, a whole GARAGE sale. We could even try to plan it so we can set our stalls close to each other, and we could sell our items at a reasonable price. If we manage to grab enough gold in our own private items, we can give 50% to the guild. Plus, we can set all a reasonable price range for the items we could sell, including some of the rarest ones that havent been touched. The downside of this is, once they're sold, we cant get them back. That.. .can be remedied by making a small "collecting" preparation and putting all our mats in there. Remember, it's 50% to the guild... and provided the guild is looking forward to doing something with the money we get, it could be well worth it.

...

That's it, i'm plumb tuckered out. I have absolutedly no more fresh ideas for y'all. Maybe some of these ideas have already been done. If so, feel free to tell me, but if it's a good thing, why change a good idea? Very Happy

I hope this wasnt too long to bore you... but if its, here, a short summary for those with the lack of patience Wink

1- Screenshots: Post your favorite, funniest, and greatest in the forums. But instead of being normal screenshots, make sure to follow the event's guidelines, like a certain topic of screenshot.

2-Pet Expo: Collect em, trade em, show them, battle em, picture with them, and love em

3-Snowball Frenzy: Enjoy some fun time pelting snowballs at everyone you can see, while trying to "avoid" them.

4-Raids: Basically, like the Gay Parade, but not gay and we could have fun with it.

5-Report at the Cottage: GET INSIDE THE COTTAGE, ALL OF YOU! You do the rest.

6-Treasure Hunt: Challenge other parties of the same guild to find the same items you do first. Sounds sketchy, but in a big group, could get pretty intense.

7-Guild Dueling: Friendly, Contest-like, you take your pick.

8-Sell Out: Make way for Prophecy's Garage Sales!

Gotta love screenshots, pet expo, raids, cottage reunion. It'd be amusing to see a bunch of giant Prophecy members running around town. <<; Aha.aha.aha... pink bondage *cough* no comment <<.. ;>> I also still want to have that metal dance sometime.. and am willing to lend a metal to anyone who doesn't have one. Mr. Grin is for sure going to Zalv though <3.

=x.. I'm going to catch an audrey for the mirror-ish if we do it. The only potential problem with that one though is that at the later quests, the higher mirrors are much more difficult to get a hold of, as you receive dice instead of mirrors, being awarded with mirrors only after the completion of the set of quests.

For the treasure hunt.. we could make it a scavenger hunt. With clues. Instead of outright stating what's needed. Could be stuff like pupu paper.. or conch shells. Sacred Aeons did something like that, and it was spiffy =o.

I like the sell-out idea.. but I won't be able to take part in it. xD.. my invent's cramped with weapons, armor, quest items, and onyxes (most which are untradable, I think..) =/
