Topic: Contests
This is entirely general, but i think we should have contests for special pize items, uber tokens, maybe perks - the lot. The contests could be forum based, and centred around content creation - for example, if the monks want a new moster drawn for a certain name/falvour, they send out a mutie mail, create a forum post and let the battle commence. Here is my dramastisation:
Player who bums off the game, making no contribution: Ahh here i am, playing MFON without a conscience, even though a have a major in pixel art. Never mind. Ooh! Whats this? a Mutie mail? a contest they say, that sounds fun! I shall now create some sexy artwork for the game to help the monks.
A completely unbiased and realistic picture. Honest. The competitions could also focus on writing, coding, inventing perks -the lot. I feel this would expand the forum using communty of the game, give players more of a sense of control over the game, and would reward hard working contributors.
The prize system would also allow those who would be otherwise unable to donate to the game to receive uber tokens, thus giving them more of an edge while playing. I realise that uber tokens ARE a source of income for you guys, so maybe there could be "prize tokens" that could be spent on a whole new set of mutations, items and such.
Any feedback? Suggestions? Rants claiming I'm a madman who should be shot, then eaten by a shark, the burnt, the shot again?
