What if - an idea for the community

What if we found an egg/box/ project that when opened was not a nice surprise but something terrible, like an void that allowed the rooks* to flood into UR,

Then the only way to seal it was by acts of kindness/singing/art - something creative but not available in game as in an item, we hold a party the crack closes some, we build something creative, it closes some, projects could count too, but some might not always, maybe we could use our spare emblems to help heal the void, perhaps gather resources and craft together a special glue to seal in all the kindness/ positive/ playful things. Once sealed in they remain but if unsealed theres a chance they might be lost, so again the community would need to work so that both the positive and the glue would need to be added together? Or maybe within a time frame.

How long would it take, days weeks, months? Could we overcome it, subdue it, rid it from the world?
What it shouldn't be is easy, it needs to be a real challenge that one small group cannot do. I think maybe a future event/quest that can be rolled out after reset.

There would be griefers of course but what if there were negatives for them, the more you try to disrupt the work to heal the rift the angrier the Giants become, and the more likely your crops will fail, piggies will refuse you meats . . . I dunno, maybe rocks become harder to mine, tools break more often?
Not sure if the game mechanics could work, but hey its an idea :D

*Maybe some other negative force that impacts on Ur

  • I like this idea, but then why would anyone open it? Anyone not seeking to wreak havoc, of course. Maybe it would have to be a mysterious object that had the potential to yield treasure beyond your wildest dreams or a TERRIBLE CURSE -- A PLAGUE ON BOTH THEIR HOUSES.

  • heee or maybe until its open noone will know what it holds, just as when we open a new street we are never really sure what lies behind the new sign post.

    Another Idea - what if we could build something like a space ship art work that then once finished became a real object for a limited time period? It could take you to a remote world, moon, time and within that place you could unravel a mystery that once revealed would give you, an object/recepie/skill? Maybe this would be repeatable once every few Glitchen years? or maybe they are unique events that would bestow a small item like a glitchmas yeti
