A Community Project Options

[Kaust]

I've been talking this over with some of the staff and so far they all seem pretty keen on the idea.
Its basically what the title says, a game that is built by the community for the community. Participation can be anything from spriting and faceart to just mapping out a town. Everything a game needs to be completed, RRR Needs You
(There was also the suggestion of Rev Points for participation, though that hasn't been confirmed).

So basically this post is to establish who would be interested in such a project, what engines you have access to (could always download a demo of another if we end up using one you don't have) and really just any ideas, suggestions or questions you may have.

-Hmmm... fun-sucking crystals? I think that crystals are a little too interesting-looking. Perhaps the fun could be encased within a plain gray box? The fun would escape if the container were to be too interesting.
-For the library thing, maybe you would have to create your own fanfiction by entering a historical document with a recipe for a messy food-item and cause chaos? There's a lot of ways that this one could be taken. And even the non-fiction section has some fun reads in it as well (I read something about a real chute that lead deep into a real salt mine and it sounded pretty fun to me).

(This is mostly some rambling thoughts, feel free to apply them or ignore them.)
About BOREDOM forcing people to grow up through removing fun, I know for a fact that removing fun things to do will just cause people to try to invent their own ways to have fun-many of which often break the rules. Even "grown-ups" like to have fun, just not in the same ways as children do most of the time. For example, why do some women watch soap operas? It is because they probably enjoy watching soap operas. According to BOREDOM, soap operas are a distraction. With that in place, nobody can watch their soaps and the TV station goes out of business. Now tons of people in the TV show business are unemployed because some chumps decided that nobody should be watching their shows. With all the good shows gone, all that's left is infomercials and the guide channel, which also shows infomercials 24/7. If the main character goes to TV land (pun unintended), thon will have to buy certain products to somehow create fun together. This alone won't change TV back to normal as buying things on infomercials doesn't impact the shows. To do so, thon would have to take a trip to the dilapidated TV station and somehow record new things to go on TV.

Things to think about:
-What roles would homeless entertainers have on the story?
-What exactly happens to homeless entertainers in a boring society?
-If said entertainers attempt to entertain, how will BORDOM try to stop them? Can they in-fact succeed at that?
-Where are the origins of this mysterious main character? Where did it come from? Why did it come exactly? How did it know to come to such a boredom-laden place? Does this main character even resemble a living thing?

Random idea: The main character could be the essence of creativity. Does that sound like it would fit?
