South Perry's very own Chinchilla appreciation day!
Cake and snacks. BBQ and liquor. Louis CK hosting the event, and lots of high class musical performances, and of course everyone dressed as chinchillas.
Free goggles for everyone~!
Edit: Well it's not a contest. More of an event..crap.

I think member participation has been low because most events are utility events, without much entertainment involved.

Since it's hard to do some in-game activities, how about holding events on other websites. Games, most likely? Like OMGPOP, TetrisFriends, something along those lines. At least in OMGPOP rooms people that aren't playing can spectate the games.

Or is there a vB game server you can attach to the site? Not sure if Eos remembers this but a forum from long long ago there was an arcade, which was quite fun. More like an ongoing thing rather than event, but you could make tournaments between members.

I remember it and it's been brought up before, just never found a decently feasible way to do it here, except from scratch.

Arcade games sound fun.
An old forum I used to visit used to do it and I played the bubble shooting game to pass time when I was bored.

Oh this is a good idea.

iSketch tournament!

Having a contest for OMGPOP games would be fun! Also, since gMS just got PvP, if there are enough people interested maybe there could be some sort of Southperry PvP tourney? Different servers would be a bit of an issue, but this might work for the bigger servers.

First to 200 event.

To add a new theme right now requires effectively rewriting a quarter of the actual logic of who sees what for some idiotic reason. Every time.

Wow, that's fucking retarded. Well, maybe in the near future, eh?

I'm not sure they can ever fix it. If they do it'll require us rewriting the entire existing theme into whatever they do to separate out the pieces.

I think they've abandoned multiple themes as a concept entirely in favor of letting users pick their own individual theme settings like you can do in your profile.

The game thing sounds fun.

I kind of disagree with any "artistic" events due to the fact that a lot of times they rely on were you lucky enough to be born with that talent, and art can be...very subjective. What one person might find amazing, another could find to be disgusting.

The same could be said about gaming abilities.

But we've had less of them.

That sounds fun.
Also I got addicted to weffriddles too, that'd be fun too. No cheating though!
One last thing, if there's a pokemon thing there could be a League of Legends too since there's a few players here and I know I'm not the only one that would enjoy some SP tournament or something.

Ooh! Something like this:

Everyone records a short Maple clip (like a small skit) and we all compile them into one video. Best clip is chosen the winner. Too bad I don't know any recording programs.
