Brainstorming!

[furnaceface]

It's the first Saturday of the month once again, and naturally, that means it's time for a brainstorming post! Feel free to tag in at your leisure over the next few days - I understand that this is a holiday weekend and availability might be slim. I'll keep the spreadsheet updated as new ideas roll in!

Speaking of, here's the list of past brainstorming ideas!

RE: Specific Ideas!

[heromaniac]

Okay. I like random, as y'all may know. So... Looking at my calendar one day I noticed Thomas Jefferson's birthday was coming up. His 272nd. I also like number play, which a lot of you don't know, so, my brain went immediately to the 2$ bill... And how on that day if everybody finds 2$ bills in random places, they would only be able to find a max of 136 bills. Cause that's 272$!

SO that's my idea. Randomly, your character finds 2$ bills laying about or dropped from the sky or hurled at them wrapped around bricks...

And if there's a feel towards something MORE than just ***RANDOM FREE MONEY*** then we can do:

1. No stores will accept them because they don't believe they are authentic:

"There are rumors of certain store owners not accepting this denomination from customers, believing that the bills are either counterfeit or no longer considered legal tender. Two-dollar bills may suffer from the same perception problems as the Susan B. Anthony silver dollar coin or the recent Sacajawea golden dollar coin. Few vending machines are set to accept them"

2. they're bad luck until/unless the bill is torn.

"For some people, holding or possessing a $2 bill is considered to be bad luck. How this superstition came about is unclear; however, it is not unusual to find people that will continue to voice their conviction that the $2 bill is unlucky. As a result, a subsequent belief is that the bad luck embedded within the note can be dispelled by tearing off a corner of the bill. Therefore, it is not unusual to find $2 bills in circulation with one or more corners missing from the currency."


There are two issues, here, though. 1. There are possibly people who don't feel celebrating Tom is a thing to do. and 2. His birthday is the 13th of April. You know, a week or so from now?

Though that is nice, because it's the Monday after AU!Kids and a chance to recoup all the money our characters just spent on those greedy little... uh. Cute darlings.

Anyway. That's my idea. Chip away at it!
