I'm really gonna give it to you!

SL has one of the richest gathering of creative minds anywhere on the 'net. Speaking for myself, I usually have a laundry list of ideas - stuff that ranges from 'wouldnt it be cool if...' to 'oooh, thatll make a lot of money', etc. However...I have more ideas than will ever be possible for me to create.

So in the pursuit of furthering SL community, here are a few ideas I'll never get around to, but maybe - just maybe - someone out there may wanna give it a shot! Just give me credit for the original idea when you do

- Giant-sized pachinko machine - ride, the ball, *be* the ball!
- Tron-style capture-the-flag arena
- Full combat vehicle protocol to allow dogfighting/wargames
- Zero-G nightclub - all your dancing in weightlessness
- Floating cloud with flying cherubs - drive like a vehicle
- Cross-sim heavy artillery combat game
- The Sphinx - with the head as Groucho Marx

(Never said these were *great* ideas...just ideas!)



Now...it's your turn. If you have ideas or concepts you know you'll never get around to making, then share them here - perhaps someone else may give it a shot!

I am going to make a clothing store!

I just have to buy land.
Learn to use the build tools.
Build the Shop.
Learn to do something more than just open photoshop.
Learn how exactly to use Chip Midnights new templates.
Get some Clothing Ideas.
Actually make clothing.
Figure out how to sell things with the vendor things.

Yeah, it's an idea that will probably never happen. I really like GOM, it lets me be absolutely unskilled with all of this and still shop!

I thought they had these? The pachinko machine ... wasn't there a "Be the Pinball" pinball game and a Tron disc game back when LL had the Ammusement Park where the shops are now?

And I know someone ran dogfighting events in the vehicle sims awhile back.

Miss those.

There use to be this dorky game I would play with my roomates in school called Scorched Earth. Everybody had this little tank and they all tried to shoot each other from a long distance using their tank turret. You controled your shot by setting the angle and power.

Seems like this would be great fun it make/play in SL, especailly with the whole grid as your playing field!

1) An employment agency for new players.

2) A poseable mannequin (sp) that could be used to 'wear' clothing and permit prim work without having to kill yourself using the camera angles.

3) A club where the music is not the theme, the conversation is... poet slams, stand up comedy, etc.

4) An escort service that is not about sex, but about introducing people to others with similar interests and tastes (aiding social grouping in the game).

I love this idea! When I was new, the Employment Ops forum was really useful to me, but a lot of new players (and employers) don't use that forum and it's difficult to have it removed from the grid like it is. You never know which job is taken and which isn't.



There -is- a coffeehouse like this, but they stopped having events. Everyone IM Laura Ingersoll and tell her to get her rear in gear!

* a giant wave pool, complete with bobbing avatar anims

* would love to see an SL Museum replete with early creations and explanatory notecards

* an underground city, SL's version of Zion in the Matrix

* tire swing to jump off over water

* a working umbrella

* puddles that splashed when you walked through them

Love your ideas Cienna

What we need to do is hook a cart up to Torley as she makes her rounds. This way people can hop on and she can introduce newer members to...well... everybody

Hahaha!

Cubey has just such a thing on most of his vehicles, and sells the scripts to drop into your own vehicles. However, I think they're notrans/nocopy/nomod, which means you can only ever use them once, at least that's what I've been told. (the scripts that is, not the vehicles) It'd be cool if he figured out a way to license the protocol for use to other vehicle makers. Lots of people have combat scripts in their vehicles, but it would rock if there was a standard so all vehicles everywhere could blow each other up without having to worry about if your vehicle is compatible.

Warheads (think that is the name) was a space version of this. Problem is you'd shoot around a planet and the gravity pull would boomerang your shot right back at you.

*Face palms*

I'm such a geek.

What we really need is to get people together. Those that have ideas and those that can make them happen. I know personally my bed room in RL is stocked FULL of clothing, avatar, and object ideas from various photo books, trading cards, etc that I have collected over the years. Problem is I don't have the talent to do 90% of what is needed. But hey I would open a shop and share profits with all those invovled in making that item.

Working horses, with leg movement, so you can ride them around and challenge folks to jousts!

You can find both of these in Tantalum. I created the giant pinball (pachinko?) machine.

An Underwater Garden with a wrecked ship and freaky scripted crustaceans

A cave with cool colored and lighted stalagmites and freaky scripted worms

My own strange little planet with imagined plants and cool designer animals that are scripted to pop out of the ground and greet you as you walk around.

The ancient Island of Avalon with all sorts of druid magic as described by Marion Zimmer Bradley book, The Mysts of Avalon (this one I might actually do). I would love to find a script that would shroud the island in fog and then allow it to part on command.

good ideas

I made a Sphinx (headless) and pyramid when I first heard rummors of the Dessert sims,.. still sitting in my invintory... waiting

Dessert sims~ Let's have a tiramisu sim.
