Brainstorming Post!

[brat_inslayage]

Ordinarily this is where my lovely cohort would treat you all to some witty rhyming.

I'm not even going to try to do that justice, and you really don't want the kind of bad puns I could come up with pre-coffee, so just go forth and do that brainstorming thing, will ya?

And don't forget we have the shiny new brainstorming ideas master spreadsheet for your perusal here!

[[ocd's up. go do that thing!]]

Okay based on the spreadsheet I'm assuming this is a good place to toss out my Random Crack ideas, SO:

- A Very Smurf Day - all day, random words are replaced with "smurf." Or "pincushion." Or "slithy toves" or whatever else.

- Bad Hair Day - Your hair is conspiring against you. It talks back. It criticizes you. It's lazy and grumpy and doesn't like you any more.

- Trapdoors - for when you put your foot in your mouth, and wish the ground would open up beneath you and just swallow you whole -- congratulations! You've just fallen down a trapdoor! One that opens three feet over the duck pond, so you'll be wet, but hey, you're out of that conversation.

- Lost In Translation - all dialogue needs to be translated to two or three other languages and back again. Narrative is fine.

- This one was something cantjossme and I came up with a while back for no apparent reason: Hell Freezes Over. And now that hell is frozen, people are doing exactly the kinds of things that would only happen if hell froze over ...

Free to a good home.

HEE! I submitted the Hell freezes over to the admins! I think I still need to pick a date for it.

Oh hey, look, I don't have to find a diplomatic way to point that out! :-P

Re: Specific Ideas

[angelo_wings]

Pfft, diplomacy. "Hey, dumbass, that's waiting on you and/or Steve" works fine.

I vaguely remembered sending it in, but I thought it got lost in the shuffle, and not that we were the hold-up. \o/

Re: Specific Ideas

[thatsamilkshake]

Snerk. No, the diplomacy was mostly for "Er, Steve submitted it but I don't know if he remembered to tell you that so um, I'mma be over here in the corner drinking my Snaaapple."

Re: Specific Ideas

[angelo_wings]

OHHHHHH. In that case, me and Steve need to have a knife fight!

KNIFE FIGHT, STEVE! ARE YOU IN?

... Rinoa doesn't have any knife icons. Pretend this is one.

Re: Specific Ideas

KNIFE FIGHT!

Except instead of knives I vote for... monkeys.

Re: Specific Ideas

[angelo_wings]

I don't have any monkey icons, either. Coma fight?

Re: Specific Ideas

[kissytheface.livejournal.com]

Yep. That's me.. Check my ingredients and you'll find "Made of Fail" there.

BAD HAIR DAY. WANT.

If they're meant as Random Events for the admins to throw at the game, we can add them to that sheet instead of the Plot Brainstorming one, if you like. The Random Events one isn't published, so stuff stays a surprise, and it's for things that don't need someone to grab and run with developing them into a plot proposal like the bigger plots.

Re: Specific Ideas

[angelo_wings]

OH! So I shouldn't have put this out in the open, because I've ruined the surprise factor?

Um ... YOU SAW NOTHING. These are not the droids you're looking for!

Re: Specific Ideas

[thatsamilkshake]

Naaaaaaah! Half the random events on the Random Events Spreadsheet ^TM are collected from the brainstorming posts. We just kept them off the "Here's some plots, grab one if you want to run with it" sheet.

I...may have the random events spread out into categories. Language Effects. Physical Effects. Hallucinatory Effects. Weetiny moddable things. Socks. Gnomes. Yes, I'm quoting directly. There are multiple sock and gnome suggestions.

I need a "Dork" icon. Granted since this is Francine's account, they all are.

Re: Specific Ideas

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

I switched accounts just to use this icon. It has dork in the keywords!

OCD is never the wrong answer. Ever.

And I want a random Socks event, dammit! Socks!
