So yesterday I was playing the Insanity Cauldron game and won a Pumpkin Patch and got the congratulations message. And the thought popped into my head: What if in addition to prizes that help you in the game there were also 'anti-prizes'? Things that hurt you.Things that reduced your Conform-O-Meter ratings, cut down your multiplier, increased your odds of winning more anti-prizes, decreased your odds of winning good prizes, etc. And what if they were unique, highly sought after things like Sarah Wiggum, Just Stamp the Ticket Guy, (um, all I can think of off hand but I'm sure there are plenty)?And what if you couldn't store or sell these things (unless you had to PAY donuts to sell them)? Or if you could only pass them on to neighbors with towns above a certain level (like 600 or so) so you couldn't just create a dumping ground town, make it your neighbor, then toss them there?Sometimes I realize that it's a good thing I'm not actually evil. And don't work for EA.

Blaaah...don't give them ideas like that!! :D

Wouldn't say you're not actually evil, but very glad you don't work for ea >:)

Well that's one way to kill a game off.

Pretty much. I'm fairly certain a huge section of the player base would quit almost immediately, and a lot more would lose any interest in paying donuts for items that might get taken away.

I still want them to release a 200-donut invisible NPC character just to see how many people actually buy it. If you happen to tap on any of the invisible pixels that comprise it then it would make a sound or briefly take a visible form etc

@Moxiee suggested a "take away donuts option a LONG time ago.. :|

Not sure it was a hit then..

TSTO has that. It's called the mystery box.

You know what the difference is between you and me? I know enough to keep my evil ideas to myself.
