Suggestions = Moles

[Ebony]

I'd like to hear your thoughts!

Suggestions for new pelts, new ways to earn Moles, new skins, activities, etc. If you can think of them, I want to hear them! And I want to hear them so much, that I'm willing to give you 500 Moles for each useful suggestion you post. c:

SO POST AWAYYYYYY!

Perhaps we could have writing, drawing, and photo-manipulating contests? The cat of the week's player could get moles (if that wasn't already part of it)?

[Soup]

Maybe a roleplay showdown/battle arena? I've seen them here and there- basically, it's a little like Cinder suggested with the writing contests, only with perhaps a very direct prompt/subject. People could vote, or admins could judge the contestants. There could be a set amount of day to complete your entry, then a voting/judging period. The winner could get moles.
Then maybe they could move on and challenge the winner of another writing contest... -shrugs- Kinda like a writing tournament, suppose.


A smiley contest might also work? Have people submit different-shaped smilies. The current ones are nice, but I imagine other people might like to try their hand at pixel art. I know I wouldn't be great at this, but I know we have some pretty good computer artists around here ^_^

That's all I can think of for now. Not very original, but I tend to sway that way xD

I like the idea of contests. c: It would definitely spice things up a bit. But I have to say, I like the writing contests best. Photo manips could be judged on a variety of things, but when it comes down to it, I think that people have different tastes in brushes, color effects, and filters. It's not a bad idea, and I'd love to see how it'd turn out, but there's also the problem that not a lot of people have fancy to-do art programs. XD;

Writing contests could be a lot of fun, I imagine. Write-off contests. x3 Like, would you cover so much in one post (such as setting, plot, characters, etc) in a clever and well-organized introduction, or...? Would they be restricted to Warriors, or would they cover different aspects?

MOLES O:

UMMMM. no clue. I'll get back to you xD

In the past I've mainly seen short story contests, with a certain genre being the 'topic'. Maybe the topic could vary- describing a character, describing a certain setting at a certain time of day, showing how a character reacts to a sudden situation... -shrugshrug-

OHYES I has remembered.
Another interesting thing to do would be a Pass-Along-Story [PALS]. In case you're unfamiliar with it [which I doubt], people take turns writing chapters, paragraphs, or just chunks of text as part of one big story. Then they could get moles for their entry. A set amount of moles would be best, so people aren't forced to write more than they need. These things are fun, as long as at least a few people are interested. Beforehand, people could submit characters with teeny, ikkle, two-sentence biographies, and that way everybody can contribute a little bit ^_^

We could do recruiting rewards, and advertising rewards. Like on THC C: It really made people advertise a LOT. 'member?

[Ebony]

We have recruiting and advertising rewards. O: Same as THC. But what you just said reminded me of the awards that I had posted for other sites... that might be a good thing to add again.


Short stories might be a little much right now. D: I'd love to see it evolve into that, though. I'd be afraid to start of with a big project, and no one participate. What about starting a write-off with say, a roleplay introduction for a certain genre? Then moving up from that, having different stages of the write-off? And then peaking with a short story? For example: The first level has five participants writing a roleplay introduction for a fantasy roleplay. The second level (maybe a reply to that introduction) will have three people, and the third and final level will have one winner. There would be more levels depending on the number of entrants, and depending on the number of levels, there would be different challenges?

I really like the PALS idea. c: How many Moles would you suggest be given per entry?

[Soup]

Umm. Umm. One thousand? xD It depends on whether you went with chapters or paragraphs. I know the value of moles varies quite a bit. If you made it two thousand a chapter, it might outbalance the prices of certain pelts and whatnot. Maybe one point five thousand moles? Or maybe less than a thousand... I really have no clue xP
And maybe you could give five to twenty moles for those who submit characters? -shrugs- Soup is much too tired to come up with anything more.

[Cinder]

oh i know |D Bios we make could be worth like, a hundred, but the ones that don't need any changing could be worth more, like 250 or something?

We should make a skin for Valentine's, it'll be around the corner soon. XDD
