If we can get this thread up to... *plucks random number from somewhere*... 25 different messages, I'll implement it. Helios, as the originator of this thread, please monitor for new suggestions and add them to the original post if they're any good, sort of like this:

1. monocle wearing peanut - heliosa10
2. Levitating Pasta Monster - heliosa10
3. old bottle cap - heliosa10
4. something else - anotherplayer

Well rewarded might you be, hmmmm?

You sell your item(s) to:

* A cool spot
* A hitherto-unknown flu strain
* A legal immigrant
* An upper-class manx cat
* A giant leprechaun
* A confused Aztec
* A shifty-looking company guy
* The Forces of Darkness
* An Egyptian card-shark
* A sentient catapult
* Satan
* Santa
* An off-shore con artist
* A prawn broker
* A pair of gobby warts
* A prosthetic prosthetic surgeon
* A white dragon with blue eyes
* A musical paradox

Just a few thoughts...

I could think up more, maybe I'll post more later... :)

Hmm...the excess of Futurama is slightly biased, I feel. Nice ideas, but Paradox doesn't lean to any franchised side (I hope).

Nice work, guys and girls! By all means keep them coming.

I've taken the list Heliosa put together and edited it a bit. Two reasons: 1. The Futurama stuff's fun but I'm not sure whether I really want to incur the wrath of the Groening empire, so I've taken it out and 2. There was some good stuff in various posts that wasn't in the list but that I felt deserved to be included.

No, I'm not going to tell you exactly what made the cut and what didn't. Because I'm mean. I will, however, say that there are 30 random messages (for now) and none of them are obviously about Futurama.

At this stage, the change is made in dev and will be uploaded with the next bunch of updates (ie. when I get home from work tonight most likely).

How about a way for it to say something like...

"You sell your stuff to [an actual random player] for ?? moolah."

And then the next time that person logs on (if they're not already logged on) they'll have a pMail with the moolah and a message:

"[PlayerName (or leave it anonymous)] autosold some stuff to you for ?? moolah."

Let me know what you think.

Er...why would they get moolah if they bought the stuff that was auto-sold? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to LOSE that moolah? I mean, we can't do that for obvious reasons...I'm just trying to get it into a nice, logical box.=o)

Err... Sorry, my logic box was inside out and upside down. And apparently kicked and left for dead in a ditch. It sounded like a good idea at first, but had I actually thought it through, I would have realized how completely retarded the whole concept is. I guess I was just caught up in the moment. And I've got a lot of other stuff on my mind right now clouding my periphial... perifial... purifeal... whatever vision.
