Event Suggestions

Got an event you’d like to suggest for Just A Game? Then this is the place to do it! If you’ve got a good idea for a crazy event that characters can participate in, we may just include it in a future week change! Before you get going, here’s a few guidelines you should keep in mind:

- Your event must have an opt-out option. No player should feel that they are forced into having a character participate in an event, for IC or OOC reasons. Have your event affect only most people but not all of them, or have certain sections of the ship stay unaffected. In any case, don’t create a situation in which players feel forced into participation.
- Your event should be appropriate for all character ages, genders and species. This means no event that is disturbingly violent, promotes excessive sex, or causes massive loss of life. Cartoon violence, blind dates and the like are fine.
- Your event should not affect the experiments. No matter what happens, the show goes on.
- Your event can use elements or effects from a specific canon, as long as it will not require very detailed knowledge of that canon for players to get. Feel free to pull from obscure canons too, again, as long as anyone can freely jump in.
- Be creative! Most people have seen genderswitch, aged-down or virgin unicorn events in games before. Have fun and come up with something new and interesting that will put your characters in funny situations!

Answer the questions below, and you may just see your event pop up soon!
- Does this event affect the SOL, Deep 13 or both?
- What’s the estimated duration of the event?
- Describe your event and its effects:

Area of Effect: SOL
Duration: One week
Event: Toon Town
-- Some characters may find themselves feeling a little strange as they are transformed into cartoon characters in various styles. Whether it be the style of the Powerpuff Girls or Hanna-Barbera. Characters who are still human will notice a distinct difference in your appearance.
-- The Theater Deck suddenly has a bunch of boxes from some place called ACME Corp. From anvils to exploding tennis balls these boxes seem to come with all KINDS of things. But, beware, some objects may backfire at the most inconvenient time!
-- But don't worry, nothing Hurts. Characters can have pianos dropped on their heads, anvils, or explode and it will be painful for a few comedic moments but after disintegration you will magically reform for more shenanigans abuse.
-- For that matter, pretty much all cartoon physics are in play now. Need to hide behind that pole? Well suddenly you can! Need to escape someone chasing you? Quick! Draw a painting of a tunnel and run down it like it's actually there. Don't look down and you won't even fall when you're standing over open air.
-- Express yourself! Characters may find when something is shocking their eyes will LITERALLY bulge out of their head or perhaps your jaw will actually fall all the way to the floor. Anime expressions might also come into play like throbbing veins on your forehead if you're angry or a sweat drop if someone does something embarrassing.
-- Characters may find themselves addressing the fourth wall more so than usual, whether it be an unseen audience or the writers themselves.
-- The Weapons Deck is now covered in posters that say "RABBIT SEASON" and "DUCK SEASON"...there may be a few that say other seasons as well. And, when you try to pull them off, a new season pops up.
-- The Cafeteria Deck is littered with banana peels in random places...do not step on them or you'll go flying/skidding across the floor to crash into things.
-- Sound Effects, almost anything you do will come with music or sound effects (ie pizzicato strings for sneaking around). Sometimes you may even SEE the sound effects appear over you (like if you punch someone POW will suddenly appear).
