Pure Imagination Upgrade Cards

TS creates 11 new "Pure Imagination" upgrade cards, one for each giant with an appropriately fun graphic.  If your glitch has enough iMG (1 million, 2 million, more?) the game adds "Pure Imagination" to your mix of upgrade cards you get offered.  If you purchase it, one of the 11 new cards is randomly selected (but the game would remember, so that over time you eventually would get one for each giant).
What do you get for your iMG?  You get the knowledge that now *everyone* else in Glitch gets the new upgrade card added to their mix.  Text on the card would give more insight into the giant.  Pure Imagination cards would ber 25 iMG.I tend to favor things being done for whimsical reasons but know many glitches are "buff" driven.  My idea is for this to be pure whimsy.  These upgrade cards wouldn't "do" anything but be something silly that helps you understand the giants more, perhaps give an imaginary buff like "Cosma gives you +2% more control of your local wind speed" or "Humbaba grants your cat +1 for not breaking things when knocking them off shelves".  The imaginary buff possibilities are very fun to contemplate. 
If your glitch creates a Pure Imagination card for each giant, you get an achievement.If your glitch purchases a Pure Imagination card for each giant, you get an achievement.  
thanks for reading :-)

  • I'd go with the "sacrifice imagination in exchange for knowledge-about-the-giants" thing. Sounds good to me. Adds more incentive to keep earning more iMG points. Whimsical buffs sound good too.

    I'm also in support of player-created cards. Downside is that those would be rather hard to moderate (on Tiny Speck's side) in case the cards contain offensive wordings.

  • Player created hards would be a headache for TS. :-)  I much prefer the idea of learning about the giants and Ur.

  • +1 for insight about the Giants and the world of Ur around us.  Little known facts like Cosma's favorite color.  Important information, like the Origin Story.  As we buy them, they could be compiled into a menu or album where we have permanent access to the cards we have purchased.

    -1 for player created cards.  As mentioned, it would be too hard to moderate these card and keep them from degrading into "non quality" content.  Not only that, but TS can decide what, how much, and when new information is inserted into the game through the cards, where user created content of this nature could easily begin to fill servers with a moderation nightmare.
