A Crazy Thought—Windstone Games

As I’m reading all the stories about the release of the various dragons in the Amethyst color–a crazy thought occured to me. I read it in a post–and I forget where–that getting some of these items was like a hunt. I mean people thought they had an item and didn’t as they checked out, missing the release despite camping out on the computer or just turning their head to sneeze. Well, I know there are some computer pros on this forum, who like to play online games so how about a Windstones hunt game?

I can come up with ideas, but don’t have the expertise or talent to pull it off but here’s how it could go:

An individual would pick a certain dragon they would like to ‘collect’ and state that at the beginning of the game. Like if they wanted all male dragons a certain color or all orientals etc or this could be set–this game is all fledglings or all coileds or all in a family–male, mother, hatchling. Then they would go hunting for them and like the Windstone store, they could come out at any given moment. You would then have to try and capture them and put them in your display case. But, like the Windstone store, just because you have dragon in hand doesn’t mean it’ll make it to the display case and someone else could capture it from you if you didn’t perform certain steps in a certain order to confirm capture. The first one to capture all their dragons wins. This could go on for weeks even months!

I was also thinking of this: Windstones has a raffle each month and draws names to see which of us will get the raffle. I like that and also, there could be a prize for the winner of the Windstones game. It wouldn’t be every month–like every 4 months or even bi yearly, that you could play for. Same rules apply, once you’ve won a prize, you couldn’t play again but could help assist a player of your choice help capture their dragons. That way they could still have the thrill of the play! And if the winner contributes their prize to a charity cause, they can still play the next game.

Does this sound real way out? Just a thought everyone, just a thought!

This is where those who are very computer savvy come in. This is just an idea that came to me and I don’t know if there would even be interest in it from forum members or Windstone. I’m just laying out basic objectives–they could set this game in an enchanted forest or a city or really, anywhere–Windstones factory. Thought it might be fun if it could be done. There could be villians you would have to thwart off etc, I mean there are many possibilities.

Things like this pop into my head from time to time. Just throwing an idea out there and if a staff member PMs me or a bunch of forum members posts and says ‘LadyFirebird, go ignite yourself!’ then I’ll respect that. Just a harmless little thought about having some fun! 🙂

It doesn’t have to be in the concept that I originally put through…just a thought when I read all these posts about getting items just to have them snatched out of their carts and I thought of a game of some sort with possibly a prize for the winner. I don’t know what Windstone thinks of this and yes, it would take a monumental amount of time and programming. This is just an idea, a suggestion and if Windstone thinks it might be something to do, we’d probably wouldn’t see it for some time. Something fun with Windstones! 🙂
