I was thinking of something that could actually be worked into the IC storyline as, say, intramural sports. I can modify an image of certain ancient NHL games (specifically 94 and 96) to put a team made up of our characters, or better yet two teams - one for each house.
The tournament itself would involve all the people who have characters as students (though we'd have to work the staff in somehow to be fair...), of course. It would have everyone take one of the in-game teams and set up everyone to play everyone else once, with win-loss records determining playoff seeding in each house. After the playoffs, the two house champions will face each other (using the house teams, not their own) for the school championship.
How does that sound?
Edit: What you need is
here, look on the right under downloads. Get the Gens Package.
We should all get some sort of IM to talk to each other and maybe play some games for fun...anyone else have Skype?
