!HAIL, Redguard.

Here is our first activity we shall be endeavoring on. We've just come off of operating on the Circle. We were very reactive. Let's flip the equation, and think proactively.

What do I mean?

Some explanation. The Admins, for the last 4 events, have essentially used the same formula.

The choose a noun, and about two verbs to go with that noun.

Button -> Press/Ignore
Robin -> Grow/Stop
Place -> Build/Destroy
Circle -> Join/Betray

In each instance, there is a verb with a positive connotation, and one with a negative connotation. Both verbs are capable of being executed singularly or in groups, with varying levels of coordination possible.

So, here I would like all of you to first suggest some new Nouns and Verbs, just those. We'll vote on the most interesting five are, and then select one of those five.

From there, each of you will be coming up with how those three words would be turned into a Reddit Thing. Assume the role of an Admin. Discuss ways that these ideas could be gamed, both positively and negatively. Think of ways the Mages could help us coordinate with a plug in. We'll vote which submission is the most interesting (good and bad are subjective), and the winner gets gilded.

Then we'll start on the next of the five one to two weeks after.

This exercise is intended to improve our abilities to think around corners, and get into the mindset of how our baddies could potentially come at us.

Maybe some kind of Cypher or something that we have to find might be a future subject. I'm imaging us all getting a clue and people having the option to lie about it or something.

To decide where to hide things on Reddit from a user perspective...

Tug-of-war/Rope-> Push/Pull.

Can either 'vote' push or pull until one side wins.

O.o can we have a mud pit!?

.... Point taken!

This one could be interesting.

I have a feeling we'll see one of these 'choose a side and contribute' events some year, although I'm not sure what form it'll take.

Telephone -> pass/don't pass

Ugh that's like share/don't share

What about Convey/Corrupt?

I like that more!

Tag -> fish/shark

Wait.... This is reddit mold I think.

How could it be different?

Search -> Share/Secret

parent

2 points gryph667

We'll have to watch this one, Search usually comes to mind as a verb first, despite legitimately being a noun.

I'm envisaging a trail of clues that you have to follow through different subs that leads you to an endpoint.

Story -> add/ uh.... Don't add?

parent

Or sabotage.

Store -> profit/bankrupt

Kinda like the Minecraft Spawn Shop at the moment.

Gameboard -> cooperate/use specials to hinder other players (there is an online game.... I forget what it's called...some adventure type game?)

parent

1 points gryph667

Let's try not to coopt something existing.

Money -> work/bum (.... Oh wait.. That's me right now)

parent

1 points gryph667

Don't get me started on the economy.

internet meme -> close tab / share

I think this may already be one of the primary games of Reddit year round.

Sandcastle -> build/destroy

First thing that pops in my head is a 3d version of Place.

Knightly Reddit Posts -> engage / obscure

Not sure if doing this right...

parent

3 points gryph667

Hehe, and that's why I specified improper nouns.

parent root

4 points benyen_soljax

I don't see "improper" anywhere. I would also say knights are always proper.

parent root

2 points gryph667

Ha, you're right. Well then, that's the requirement.

parent root

3 points benyen_soljax

Your examples are proper though. Those are all specific things that happened. Idk anything that is just a thing that we can game. Real life antagonists out in the world are much more toxic and difficult to address.

parent root

2 points gryph667

No, they aren't. They were all meaningless nouns that Became because of their events.

There is a difference between a button and THE Button. It's the event itself that transforms the lowercase into the Upper.

Tetras -> correct placement/incorrect

Ah comrade, I am thinking this has been done many times....
