The website is down? No warning given?

That's a relief. Thought it had gone belly up. Passed on. Kicked the bucket. Shuffled off this mortal coil. Run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

I'm pretty sure someone's said it already, but I want a giant tacky fundraising thermometer. giant. Tall and skinny. I want donating a fiver to make an observable difference. That'll get me to scrape my wallet out.

Better yet, make them actually have a chance to explode!

Here's an idea that cropped up in another current thread: an enhanced version of the Take Memento contraption -- one that could stash the memento in the inventory of a different Place.

Why it's good: it would allow for Multi-Place Errands (Wongo's clever suggestion) to be set up to be (almost) self-maintaining.

Would buy.

No, I think that what Sessine would like is to have a Contraption that when put in Place A will take mementos and put them in Place A's inventory. I think that Things (as mentioned in another thread which I'm too lazy to find right now) might do the job instead though.

I threw in a few bucks, and oh man, if they make custom tattoos, I'd make one for every single one of my characters. And anyone who knows me knows I'd do it.

I'd be the one asking for money.

Please, sirs, I need just one in the shape of an amoeba. And then I'll only need 35 more.

And I'm with Rose, if we can somehow get that Spiderkitty in mass production, even if we shrink down the design to Beanie Baby status, I would buy the crap out of that.

Another Idea is some new posters.
-The 'staff' of the Island- The Watcher, Corporal Punishment, Mr Stern, other NPCs that I know are in CMJ's head, even CMJ himself.
-The 15 (I think it's 15) forms of the Lion.
-A bulletin, much like the ZAP grenade poster, that announces Dr. Improbable's latest invention.
-'Postcards' of all the Outposts. 'New Pittsburgh-Wish you were dead.' 'Squathole-Get out.'

Did someone explain to the Person Of Limited Imagination why custom tattoos are a good idea? Because I really don't know how to put it any other way. They're custom tattoos. They are tattoos, that are customized. Um.... That's it.

FML, lots of people are already paying to get a custom race, a custom title, a custom name colour, an extended biography, an avatar, a mount customiser, a custom weapon description, a custom armour description ... and all of that could go in the biography too. (Via links if necessary. Some people already add links to their bios.) And yet, people are still willing to pay for more than what they could squeeze in to the defaults. This is a suggestion for one more way of customising a character; several people have already said they would pay for it. Maybe I wouldn't, and maybe you wouldn't, but is it really necessary for you to keep questioning it? This is an ideas thread.


Back on topic, more suggestions:

• Related to the above: custom jewellery. How about: you buy a default from Oliver's, for cigs. Then, you go to the Lodge, and buy a "jewellery customiser" which allows you to rename it? Or, you go to Oliver's, and there's a link to "Ask him about his custom work" and it has a "name your desired item, for X Supporter Points per character" link? (That model could work for Petra, too. I wonder, would there be an upper limit for number of tattoos?)
  
  
• Keyholders to be able to buy Contrivances and Contraptions from in the Program Menu. Impulse purchases of "but I just need one more Previous Room and two Display Pages to finish this grid!" might not be a huge immediate earner, but they would be very convenient for builders and would likely bring in a steady trickle.
  
  
• A bought gadget for setting Pages to Open Air/Indoor/Open Air With Trees, for those times when you build an indoor room but one of its pages should really be outside, or vice versa (bedroom with Look Out Of Window, or garden with shed, or similar). Perhaps even buyable from the program list (see above).
  
  
• A Complete Decoration Job Now feature, from the Show Current Jobs page. For those times when you are too impatient/lazy to spend the time starving your character for three gamedays, then feeding them up to the eyebrows on Noodly Noodles, then going to IC for kits, then buying and drinking a Builder's Brew, then going back to your house. It'd need a bit of maths to work out the approximate in-game cost of gathering and fetching the materials and doing the jobs (stam, cigs, Brew) and making this a SP-equivalent price for building/deco turns ... but you might get some people who want their new Pages now so that they can add this bit of flavour text and try out that program they were thinking of...
  
  
• Related: buying wood and stone direct from in the Place Inventory. (Come to think of it, maybe there should be a whole submenu for Buy Place Improvements, rather than tacking them on to the current menus/pages.)

Budd I totally agree with your ideas about (well LOTS of things but specifically this):
