"Actually, one thing I /can/ do is make an extra participation prize. Is that something that would improve this situation? We really loved the effort you guys put into this competition, so I'm happy to give out two participation prizes instead of the one that we had planned.

You guys can even make a suggestion board about it - give us ideas on what you'd like? "

SUGGESTIONS HERE GUYS

My suggestions: --Wearable or minion snake that has piano keys instead of scales. --Contrabassoon --Google weird guitars. There are some cool ones like skeletal ones or shark ones or batwings looking stuff or see through ones. --Gene Simmons' tongue --Piano scarf a la David Hasselhoff

this is very sweet of you to offer (you try to please too many people all of the time).

Few suggestions:

• Broken/Off/Unreliable Alarm Clock (time set to 11:50? Could be dark circles under the eyes makeup? Or something involving being late?)

• I joined a band and all I got was this lousy t-shirt... t-shirt.

• Conspiracy Theory book involving rigged contests?

• Sad rabbit with instrument minion because she wanted to please everyone and could have sworn this was going to go off without a hitch...

"Last Minute Cancelled Concerts" book, with a description like "Learn about all the bands that cancelled their concerts at the last minute! No, you aren't getting your money back."

I actually really love the idea of the broken/unreliable alarm clock item that Andrea suggested :D

I like destiny's snake suggestion and bonju's book one . What about an elwood sneaking attempts log report book?

I love both the unreliable alarm clock and book suggestions. :)

Love the snake idea or a weird guitar would be awesome!!! I was pretty upset about this whole thing, but I'm over it now. Our problem stemmed not from putting it off until the last minute but from finally finding a 4th person for our string quartet at the last minute. So it wasn't from a lack of trying our our part :D Anyway what's done is done and nothing can change that now, I really do appreciate the effort to make it right with everyone! You guys are awesome!!!!!

OMG this. So much this. xD

I'd also suggest a "Cancelled Venue" or "rescheduled concert" item, maybe a ticket stub with VOID stamped on it or something that references an abandoned festival site, where the venue cancels on the artist for some obscure and not well articulated reason.

Corollary to that, a "Missing band member" reference, where a band member just doesn't show up for practice/performance and nobody knows why or where they are. Can't think of a fun reference item for that except maybe a lanyard in the hand or an empty guitar stand or something.

The link in the OP links back to this thread.. I think that's a mistake? c;

I feel like we already have dark circles under the eyes makeup (that banshee item plus the quest shop items). I would rather have a more unique wearable than that.

I like the book idea Bonju mentioned. :3

Fixed the link :D

I like the alarm clock and the Cancelled Venue item ideas x)

Thank you! :3

I like Lirikai's suggestions as well.

I meant to put this in the first post and got so excited I forgot x.x Thank you so much for the work you have been doing. You really have been going above and beyond! That goes for all of staff! Thank you for this event :D (ps What I mean to say is that you rock!)

I dig the canceled show/voided tickets idea, too (sounds like great TC fodder lol).

A Book "Guide for tour managers" and the description something like "Getting the band on stage is essential"

I'm also with the missing band member idea. The band i'm in has a missing band member, so maybe that would soothe our feelings.

I would love this. I really like the book ideas, especially this one:

As far as I know Subeta has very few vinyl records. This might be a good opportunity to add some as I think a lot of people would like them for TCs or wearable held items, so how about:

A broken record as an allusion to the fact this musical event may have annoyed a few people, or to reference that there's been a mishap. A record referencing a suitable song (in a copyright-avoiding way, obviously) - 'Band on the Run' springs to mind to reference those empty stages.

I like the cancelled concert ticket idea.

I just wanted to thank for doing this. :)

Lovely idea!

An amp that goes up to 11.
:D
