Hi guys! So I guess the cult is a wee bit inactive lately, so I want to try and resolve it, a bit. What do you think are good ideas for activities we can run? Like how do you think we can get the battling community more engaged, etc? I wouldn't be opposed to funding prizes for monthly/weekly competitions, etc. Other than my obvious inability to do BQ lotto in a timely manner. With the addition of minion battling, maybe we can also add in competitions for that? The activities don't even have to be battling related - we can do stuff thats just related to subeta, or even stuff that relates to RL, something like the xmas tree competition. Really anything you can think of so that we can get going and be more active and talk to one another again (outside of IRC) Maybe increasing recruitment as well?
Also, unrelated but related, do you guys have any cool ideas for a mascot? I want to look into making a few banners so that we're more identifiable.
Anyways, post away your ideas, chatter, etc etc D8 Ilu guys.
bring back the David challenge! (that was the name i think)
the problem with that type of competition is that it requires people to have a lot of pets, or at least a pet in that specific stat range in order to even compete. i mean, im not opposed to restarting the competition, i think its a really fun type of game, but without any ability to freely remove/add stats to our pets, its like 90% of the competition has already been removed to start with.
[edit]
maybe we could open it up to the general battling community and see how it goes from there? with a larger pool of competitors it might be more entertaining
How about competitions for beating certain challengers x amount of times with x amount of stats? In-guild award system, with cheap items being trophies to display in a gallery? Maybe beat x challenger with a pet 8 times with a T5 pet or something? Would have to be challenging but not impossible, require different strategies, and would add an interesting aspect to battling. Plus people finally have a reason to train their lower tier pets into battle useful pets and then can go for the next challenge. With the collective knowledge of battling that is present in this guild, finding that fringe between impossible and very difficult/frustrating could be fun. Almost like a battle series where there are certain amount of challenges to complete and that would complete a series based on Tier? idk I'm just spitballing ideas here.
Could do a 1 (or 3 or 6 or w/e) month challenge where everyone starts with a 1/10/10/10/10 pet and has to train to as high a stat total as possible by the end. No boosters allowed on pets and only books under 100k for intel. BQ exp and training center (no auto train) only. This way its not a huge crack on the bank, as well as having a use for those first 10/15 BQs, and wouldn't affect training of your regular pet. Plus people dont have to shell out CSC to keep up with training. I really liked the rank race we did with Keli a while ago, but just an overall competition could be fun. Prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd at end of period?
Buying = Nothing atm
Selling = Nothing atm
could the mascot be like a NM/BR/DM/Angelic/Galactic/Glacial serpenth ouroberos with Tartarus written in ambigram if possible?
the bb pet thing has happened once before but autotraining was allowed
i think it was 1 month long and made it to t3?
ahaha funnily enough, we actually have kinda tried variations of most of those ideas. most people didn't seem too interested in training competitions, but maybe if we open to the general battling public we can find people who will participate. i think the last time we did a training competition, there were prizes for top 3 but only 5 people or so even participated
as for the other idea, it is once again limited to people who have specific pets in specific ranges, which kind of eliminates most of the competition - so im kind of wary of it, but if we get enough support and people who say they will try to participate when they can, then we can try and figure out logistics.
i dont mind doing contests and fun stuff, i just want people to actually participate in them cus whats the point if we don't get participation D8
Yeah the pet is T3 right now and I don't think I trained it much after...XD
I don't really fuss much with HAs myself, but what about some sort of HA designing contest where you try to dress as one of the battle opponents in creative but identifiable ways? I'm not 100% sure but it seems familiar so this might have been done before. xD
Maybe another trivia session some time? Or a trivia like 'game' where the questions regards members of Tartarus and you have to figure out whose name goes where? Like '_______ really likes pickles' and you have to guess who it is, and the person with the most right answers wins?
Maybe some Epicon like event where we play a bunch of games and see who can get the highest score (can just screencap for confirmation)? We could make an entire mini epicon with some kind of dress up theme or cosplaying if we wanted, prizes for best costume, game scores, whateva.
I know it's a ways away, but maybe an IRL Vesnali Egg decorating contest could be neat when the time comes. Or a contest to see who can get drunkest on St. Patricks Day.
I do think a contest to design the mascot could be a great idea. n_n writing this made me realize there's really not much to do on site besides quest
We could also start doing a 'user of the month' type thing for someone that contributes a lot to the guild.If nothing else, to show appreciation.
I'd love to do a trivia session, or to watch movies, but my problem is that I'm in a completely other timezone than you guys, so whenever something is organised, it's in the middle of the night for me. I really liked the HA making of the battle opponents. Maybe we can have another one and have themes? Like dress up as one of the opponents from a certain plot?
why isnt wrathdinger our mascot
2025 Stalacbite, Focused (7)
since reset is coming along with cap being lifted, could there be a friendly all battle encompassing race to the loot 'lootpalooza' thingy. Its gonna happen anyway but would it be more engaging and encouraging if it were a seperate topic rather than post in bcc or iit seacow droppings thread.
roll up your sleeves and get those wins! -TARTARUS n_n
Im keeping an eye on this thread guys, hopefully we can get some activities up and running!
i want the mascot to be the bite bite sip sip guy
whatever happened to tiny jesus
I HAD AN IDEA like literally in the shower i am typing this nekked so i dont forget.
So we have like a period of 2 weeks or w/e where we all battle with our littles and try to max out opponents that we have been too lazy to deal with and then we donate our extra loot (like no one needs 5 rapiers) to the cult. then we sell the loot and have a big fun raffle or something :D
ps tj lives on
