Something happened!
Luigi asks if you have any spaghetti. When you tell him you don’t, he sadly saunters off.

but



but my waifu does and i'd never lie to luigi

Every thread deserves a reply.

one of the inventory items we get should be spaghetti, so we can offer some to luigi in these trying times

it can open up an entirely new layer to Something happened! events by creating a branching narrative. lie to luigi and deny him a delicious pasta dinner? or share some spaghetti with your dear friend, knowing it's what he'd do for you? the choice is yours

Something happened side quests could be amazing.

Something happened side quests could be amazing.

ideas for these:
● highlight the something happened window with a different color than normal to signify that there's a choice involved
● when you make a choice it doesn't immediately lead into the next one, it saves and then you continue your Minus World Journey until the same event would appear again, which then checks to see if you have a history with it. if you do, the next stage of the event plays out, be it a normal event that seemingly ends the chain or another choice.
● as stated by agastya, definitely involve the inventory system. stuff like trading one item for another, giving items away (which could either have no positive benefit at all or have a later connected event pop up where you are repaid handsomely), earning items for clearing a "quest line", etc
● spellbook unlocks. whole forum has to work together to get the right sequence of random events and choices, and when the end of the line is reached a new spell is unlocked for everyone

really there's so much potential with this idea

ideas for these:

● submit your own fat wario drawings when prompted, staff picks out the best for each season and they get displayed alongside the metagame results

Does anyone know what the best way would be to implement these little quests?

Maybe we should give events their own table in the db (right now they're just cached), have a `next_event` column for events that have a followup, then when you happen upon one, set a `quest` column in the users table to the next event's id? Something like that?

maybe then i'd finally have a use for the deluge of luigi/fat wario notices i get

We've had some discussion on how items could be used in conjunction with random events.

One scenario would be happening upon a treasure chest that you can only open with a key in your inventory.

Secret Subforum that only opens up once you've completed a certain quest line?

First person to do it becomes mod of that board.

Man these are all good ideas

We need to find some more phpeeps so we can actually feasibly get this all implemented
