Something else we propose to keep game ideas fresh and fun is something akin to the Smash Brothers challenges only reformatted for RP purposes.
Players will anonymously submit challenges (example: thread out someone getting their arm stuck in a vending machine. thread out use of trophies gone wrong. thread out a smooch. match icons with someone five times in the same thread. three crack/not-serious tags. meet double-triple-quadruple the activity check requirements. post a meme in the ooc community. have your character make a gross misunderstanding about another character. subject them to a whacky transformation. goad captain falcon into punching you and live. discover a new floating island. get into a fight over what to name the new island. start a log with the letter "X" in the title, survive a great Excite Bike Migration, etc.) and once a month during personals/CR meme we'll compile and post a list of a group/block of challenges. Players will submit threads that meet the challenges and be rewarded with IC powers, or access to locked doors in the mansion, the ability to world-hop, travel back home, see a castmate, or something. WHO KNOWS. WHATEVER YOU COOL PERKS GUYS LIKE TO BE REWARDED WITH.
We could group unlockables & rewards like this:
• PERSONAL (CHARACTER) UNLOCKABLES: special powers, smash balls, etc whatever. • PERSONAL (PLAYER) UNLOACKABLES: free AC strike, etc. • LOCAL UNLOCKABLES: rooms in the mansion, new local locales on the island or nearby islands. • REGIONAL UNLOCKABLES: warp pipes to home worlds, etc.
We may reasonably put lock-limits on either per player, per character, or per month to keep things fair/to manage pacing better, depending on how all this works out.
Once that group/block of challenges has been met, we'll make a new one and the process can start anew.
