Does anyone have any good idea for contests? Myrrima says that if we can get some good ideas for some contests we can have a few prizes as color restrings! feedback please.

Hmm. Dunno about contests, but my idea kind of reflects the new flip/toss feature. Could we get a simple game of ASCII tic-tac-toe?

A pedestal in a room could have the crossmarks etched into it, and players could use commands to start a game, stop a game, and place their marks

| | | |
----------
| | | |
----------
| | | |

Something like that, and the commands would be like "Place X upperleft/uppermiddle/upperright, Place O midleft, center, midright"

It doesn't have to be called tic-tac-toe, you could call it something like "Swords and Shields." - from an RP standpoint.

I realize ASCII art isn't exactly utilized in the game, but for some areas, it might be useful as a visual puzzle off sorts...

Something to think about. Like a lot off other stuff I seem to spout off.

Dref, dice and coins are done with macros which could contain ascii art and the logic needed to track a TIC-TAC-TOE like game. If you had a builder you could actually try to do it yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing more of this type of thing in the future (though it will need to be RP/medieval palatable).

How about these for ideas --

Who can play the most RP minutes in a month?
Who can collect a specific list of items first in the game?
Who can get the most kills on their kills list of a specific NPC in a month?
Who can gain the most levels in a month?
Which new character (makes it easier to count) can visit the most new rooms in a month?
Which new character (makes it easier to count) can kill the most unique NPCs in a month?

See a trend here? Here's my general idea -- Let's get people to PLAY THE GAME!

Best regards,
