Okay. We look forward to reading your idea.

if the characters are 'over age', then no. =] it'd have to be for characters at least 16 years of age (as that seems to be the 'adult' age in the A:tLA world) or older. Anything younger would be promoting 'underage' drinking.

to be on the safe side, however, any games involving alcohol should be for characters 21+, as per US and California law, which the TOS abides by.

For the sake of saying I did give an idea, what about a fashion show (possibly a fashion contest) type deal?

It'd be up to you to sort the details. =] While in the past, all threads have been staff-run, we're giving members the opportunity to run pre-approved threads. If you have an idea, flesh it out, and propose it to us. ^_^

The Fashion Contest:
- Any citizen of the avatar world, male or female, young or old, may join.
-The object is for either one person, or possibly a team of two or three, to design a trendy outfit pertaining to their nationality which either embraces their own unique heritage or shows the future of that nation's attire.
- Clothing lines available will be: common wear, army gear, nobility garments.

When I thought of the idea, I was thinking of something like a Vogue fashion show, or like the hair show held every year in Georgia; really out there and trendy, ya know? It would mean that the post by the contestants would have to be very detailed. The judge(s) choose the winner based on which post used the best imagery, which was the most unique, and which design came off as the most sensible.

Just a thought.

That sounds very interesting... that said, you may want to split it into two categories, one for prose and one for images? Just a thought. You may want to flesh out categories a bit more, how you'd judge the contest, etc etc. =] Sounds good so far, though!

one thing I might suggest would be to have this one last longer than they usually did, since 5 years in virtual terms is considered ancient. and of course, owing to the lives that most of us have, doing that may or may not have more things happen and/or more participation.

just a thought
~Tenoko~

er, sorry, bit more clarification? the carnival as a whole to last longer?
(if so, I personally wouldn't mind. =X i'm due to have my baby in the beginning of october, and i want to participate! xD ultimately up to karena tho)

@t: aoo' [means yes]

just have the cutoff date where the admins nuke everything be farther away from the starting date than it usually is.

~Tenoko~

we'll see. up to karena, like i said. that said, it all depends on participation levels. no need to keep it open if no one expresses interest. =] last year, we kept it open into november, and people who committed not only did not participate, but did not inform us of any conflicts in schedule. =/

*nods* We'll have to see. I feel that a month long is plenty long enough, but if people are still posting after October 31st, I will have no problem leaving it open.

Must think... Maybe some sort of race? Like with the ostritch thing races? (Can't Remember What They Were Called... O.o)

Just a thought.

Sounds interesting. If you can flesh out the idea a bit more, figure out how a person would win, then you're free to try it.

Figuring out how someone would win would be like flipping a coin or rolling a dice.

— Every person who wants to participate chooses a random ostritch. (still don't remember the name >.<)

— At home, I'd roll a dice, to determine the winner (every race would have 6 people then.)

— Winner wins..... Well i dunno.

Sounds interesting. I would flesh out what each number on the die would do, how many races, how long they would go on for, etc... But it sounds good so far.

What Karena means is to flesh out the game a bit more; how would the members participate? Is everything going to be based solely on chance? Or will you be taking into account the quality of the post? Flesh out the game - how people will participate, how the game progresses, how the winner is chosen, all the mechanics of it. =]

I have an Idea: Kuai Ball!

for those of you who dont know what Kuai ball is, avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Kuai_Ball

I was thinking, there could be different levels of competition, single and team events where people post back and forth like a battle, but with different aims?

Like I told you over IM, if you can figure out how it'll work (how do the members participate? is going to be by dice, or strictly RP? A combo of both? etc...), you're free to try it. It sounds interesting, to say the least.
