Time to think spooky again! Yes, I know, the 10th Birthday event is still going on as I type this, but if you think that's too early, check out the date on the thread where Means asked for suggestions for the 10th Birthday.
Friday with Means - April 15th, 2011 - 10th Anniversary Content Suggestions
And then they had their meeting to discuss which ideas to use less than a week later, April 21st, for an event that started about two months after that. We want to get these ideas to FC more than two months before the event. If the Halloween event starts some time in the last week of October, I'm sending in the top suggestions in the middle of August, so:
Jul 8 - Jul 22: Two weeks of collecting suggestions at parties and here in this thread.
Jul 23 - Aug 6: Two weeks for GSP DJs, Dancers, and Staff vote on their favorite ideas.
Aug 7 - Aug 17: 10 days for me to write up detailed descriptions of the favorite ideas, with example links where necessary.
Aug 24 - Oct 24: FC has two months to design, build, implement, and test all the new goodies, in between all the other things they're working on, like rebalancing the professions and finishing that new engine.
Some time around Oct 24: Event starts
Oct 31: Halloween
Now this is a brainstorming thread, so we want lots of ideas to choose from. GSP will be picking favorites for me to write up, but that list will have a link back here to the whole list, because something that didn't strike a chord with us might turn out to give FC a good idea anyway.
Some guidelines for suggestions:
1) Be specific enough that everyone will have roughly the same idea what you mean.
2) Don't infringe on anyone else's Intellectual Property. Ideas inspired by some other game, movie, tv show, or whatever, are fine, as long as they're just oblique references. Using quotes, images, or names that belong to someone else isn't going to happen.
3) Keep it within the game's "T for Teen" rating. You've all seen the bikinis, thongs, and alien toys, so you know there's still a lot of room to be sexy without getting too explicit.
