Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suggestions on what you would like to see in the forthcoming IC Newspaper would be welcome.

That sounds pretty awesome, actually. ^.^

There needs to be lots of fighting and lots of booze.

Hell, people fighting over booze.

Wake the dead! blaugh

If you haven't seen the (first or second?) Addams Family move (...whichever one that Fester returns), I shall explain.

We run around a graveyard with shovels and wake the dead!

Serious suggestion: Scavenger Hunt.

'cuz everyone likes them, and there will be epic fights.

The prize can be... panties.

If you are thinking Japanese style festival, a matsuri would fit. Have a bunch of IC people build floats and race around a town or the stadium. You could have the people supporting it do their best to leg it while having a few people on top to hurl non-lethal projectiles to slow other people down.

Food and prize stalls would also be appropriate.

As for Chinese festivals, dragon dance.

LS exclusive fighting tournament.

OR

two five man teams go at it.

I was going to add that, but reading it a second time I noticed it was already in there.

We've got more than enough artists hanging around that could facilitate if they wish to donate their services. I mean... anything Kat draws is sinfully feminine. Anything.

If enough people want to contribute, we could be sure to add in a few categories so that a few people have chances at winning something other than just "oh hey, I won the pagent"... Maybe a 1st, runner up, miss congeniality, costume competition winner, talent show, etc. Just so that it doesn't all have to be about "my character is THUPER HAWT".


Perhaps some sort of decathlon or something of manliness. Drinking contest. Eating contest. Dance-off. Karaoke contest! And various physical activities. Obviously it can't all just be feats of strength since some characters are made to be the Hulk, while others show their manliness in other ways than how far they can pull a city bus.

Again, possibly a piece of art for the winner of each competition.


As long as you keep the herpes out of it.


*Points to his above statement about competition.*


I'm resisting the urge to shout "SILVER DRAGONS" before breaking down in a fit of laughter.

Show of hands, who's character can play an instrument?

Otherwise Lulu could do it. xd


MOST WANTED exhibition match. Have a ballot box at the entrance and everyone submits a name. Highest voted characters get called into the ring (1st vs. 2nd, 3rd vs. 4th?).


*Points to Idol.* It'd likely have everything to do with RP description, clarity, creativity, originality. Maybe all the characters are (expletive here), but everyone describes beauty in a different way, and has their own vision of what it should be. Get a panel of man-whores to grade the show-posting for prizes.


I thought of that, but it seems rather one-sided. Not many male characters would enter a beauty contest (barring Enki and Sunstrike, of course), but of course every character would want to enter a competition.

So it makes more sense to have two sets of competitions graded on RPing style, quality, and of course how well the character actually does perform in their task. A beauty contest doesn't just have to be beauty... real ones aren't just beauty, after all. There's talent competitions, singing, speeches, and a large amount of fashion involved. Since this is Levi we could also throw in physical activities that aren't normally done in 4" heels on a stage.


It can be. It will be. And I like it.


So far the biggest thing on my mind is that we have so many good suggestions, and I don't know how many we'll be able to fit in.
