It's gonna be that time of the year starting tomorrow, and in light of that, I thought of a brilliant idea for a contest RP/event thing a little while ago! Basically, from 2013, Tumblr has a habit of circulating tons of skeleton GIFs and pictures in a period dubbed The "Skeleton War". In particular, the skeletons are pitted against an enemy faction known as "f***boys" (not unlike Resistance vs. Enlightenment in Ingress). This got me thinking... Why don't we have an actual PPC Skeleton War, in the form of a series of competitive events as part of a Halloween festival?

This of course would mean we'd have to set up a variety of games and tournaments for agents to play. This would probably mean I'd have to get a number of other Boarders to help, especially because I was thinking that each of the games would be moderated by a different person and an agent of their choice. I'm not sure how many games there would be, but I imagine at least five would provide something for everyone. Possible events could include a corn maze escape, pumpkin curling, a spooky scavenger hunt, a "last man standing" survival event in a haunted house, and maybe even a poker tournament with tarot cards (yes, they have those).

Of course, this means that Boarders who are willing to volunteer can choose whether to moderate a game or not, as well as propose which game to host if they do. And all of these games will be compiled into GDocs format in the end. Who knows, maybe we can even have opening and closing ceremonies like in conventions!

The game I'm definitely moderating would probably be the grand finale: the Skeleton War itself, a nonlethal combat tournament between the two respective factions participating in the festival. These factions are "Skeletons" (duh) and "Bratboys" (a watered-down variant of the original term, which is much more appropriate IMO). All agents participating must choose from one of these factions at the start of the festival, but not all of them need to participate in the final battle. They're more than welcome to spectate and cheer for those who do, though!

Also, there'd be candy and costumes. Because Halloween.

If I get enough positive feedback from you guys, I'll start laying down some rules tomorrow at the earliest, and start the festival proper sometime in mid-October. So, with that in mind, what do you think of this idea?
