Some variety of strategy game would be fun

e: like those mobile city builders or computer equivalent where you can challenge someone i guess. 24 hrs or something to build it up, then challenge each other and winner take all

i don't really like those but it's not like xcom or fire emblem matches would really be, uh, a thing that can happen realistically

upon further review if everyone had civ 5 this would be doable via civ 5 games, tiniest world setting possible with only two players

but probably not everyone has civ 5 so ymmv

I still like my short story idea honestly. 24-48 hours total to write it, 2 pages, whoever writes the "best" (as defined by whatever metric pera decides to impose) gets the win

The length/time given can be futzed with obviously to accommodate busy schedules, but I feel like if necessary this type of challenge could be banged out pretty quick on any smartphone notetaking app tbh

Could be submittable by throwing them up on gdocs and tossing the links to pera, links that are easily postable in-thread for results displaying purposes

The stories could even be theme challenges, so that the duel-ees aren't starting from "stare at a blank page and hope an idea comes to you"

Rhjamiz is the prisoner, there are no npcs involved except our envoys.

I was already in the prison and was opening Rhjamiz's cell. Sniper stopped that happening by engaging us.

Sniper, I'll walk away if Rhjamiz can come with me.

Hats, I'm pretty sure I didn't stab you, but I'm happy to agree not to fight you or your cousin either regardless.

Why should you be able to secure the release of a prisoner just because you want them to be released? Do you feel as though you are exempt from our laws?

Brother, we've talked about this. You know I love you but you need to pick a side - I don't think we have the luxury of staying neutral, especially with the world falling into chaos and decay.

A Wahrk broke some poo poo by ramming into the Boiler Room - looks like some underground chambers were filled with steam. Apparently the ground is steaming outside - I'm fearful of an explosion of one of the boilers. I need the passcode to this dome, fast.

We're mostly okay on The Shore of Kistone. Although the Shore isn't where it used to be anymore. We lost three good people. One of them was my personal envoy Martinique, whose memory will live on in the waves.

We were assaulted by a massive burst of steam, it seemed to well up from beneath us. We haven't identified the source, but I would ask anyone in the Boiler Room to report on any odd behavior observed from the machines.

A Warhk crashed into the Boiler Room and exploded several machines, steam from which flooded underground chambers.
