Hey everyone! We are a month and a half out from the next Summer Scramble, the mods and I wanted to do a quick topic to see what the members would like to see as events this year. This way we hope to avoid the 0 participation events we saw in the last couple of years. So, what would you like to see in this year's scramble? It doesn't have to be a past event either, if you have new ideas we would love to hear them!
As the resident roleplayer, methinks it'd be nice to have a one-shot RP event. Like, one IC thread for everyone to join, not one RP per team like... when was it again when we had the Poke-musketeers themed scramble?
Another idea that I got from a similar event in another forum: bingo. It is a game where players make their own bingo cards (usually a 5x5 grid with a free tile in the center) in a certain theme, then the host draws names related to that theme which the players match with those on their cards. When a player finds that the drawn names are arranged on their card in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, that player wins the round. Here's an example of the bingo cards I used in a bingo game at another forum last year: Bingo example This particular round of bingo revolved around gym leaders (including trial captains and kahunas), E4 members, and Champions (both in-game current and former ones). I used their respective badges, Z-crystals, and/or Pokémon aces for this one. Plus extra context for those who share their badges and/or mons too. Spoiler: Initial card Spoiler: First draw Spoiler: Second draw Spoiler: Third draw Spoiler: Fourth draw Spoiler: Text version Erika, Brycen, Sidney, Roark, Jasmine Mustard, Koga, Hapu, Diantha, Sophocles Tate & Liza, Karen, free tile, Raihan, Rika Ryme, Kahili, Blue, Norman, Marlon Elesa, Marshal, Bede, Viola, Flint And yes, I won that round.

I've never participated in a Summer Scramble before, but if there are any writing events I'll totally do them!
