Default Avatar Theme Week Central 3

Spoiler

VOTING OPENED. Go here!

This thread is for suggesting ideas for future weeks and discussing past ones. To actually request avatars, show off your avatars, or admire the avatars of others for the upcoming weeks, please see links to the individual week threads below.


=============================

Theme Weeks

2013
2012
2011
2010
2009

Avatar Theme Week Central 1
Avatar Theme Week Central 2

=============================



The process for choosing a new week is currently as follows:
  1. Nomination phase: People nominate new weeks by suggesting their Theme Week Idea in bold.
  2. Voting phase: All of the nominated weeks are listed and each person can vote for their top three choices in bold red.
  3. Yay! We Won! phase: Once a week is chosen, one of the supporters for that week should make a separate thread for the theme week in question and then link it in this thread so I can add it to the archives above.

Important: If you don't like a theme week under discussion, then either try to drum up support for a different theme, or don't participate. That's all. Please refrain from negative comments. Saying 'I'm not interested and wouldn't participate' is fine. Saying 'This choice sucks because...' and doing it in multiple posts is not.

**When this thread reaches page 50, please do not start the new thread unless you can commit to keeping the links up to date.**

Since there is a new thread, I'll cross link the thread for Eldritch Abomination week.

And may I nominate again nude week? It lost by just a tiny vote!

The Future week- your chance to show off your jetpack, flying car, private spaceship, personal robot butler, or any of those other pieces of wonderful future technology that we were all supposed to have.

Crime vs, The Law week- Stereotypical criminals versus members of the law enforcement profession, could work wonders for freeform roleplaying with heists and police raids being planned, jailbreaks being achieved in the most unlikely of ways (for example with a smuggled teddybear- without anything hidden inside) and safe houses on both sides being taken out- and nobody knows which side the mods would really be on, do they?

You can just delete posts that don't vote for it.

Hey, I have a question. Does Turn Back Time take you back to one of the OoTS avatars that you pick of a list? Or is it your first custom avvie?

I still think that week should be named First Custom Avvie Week, because Turn Back Time has other possible interpretations.

So... if it hasn't already been done in some form, might I suggest a Soulmate Week? Here's the pitch: Everyone and their avatar are finding their one true love, whether it be their ultimate dream girl (or dreamy guy), another Playgrounder, that +5 vorpal greataxe they've been eyeing the entire campaign, or just a fresh plate of whatever guilty pleasure was destined to be one with their stomach. Can't you just feel the romance in the air?

Desire Week was nominated earlier, and I think it's along the same lines, if you're okay with them being lumped together.

Oops...

Yeah, I usually don't open voting till the current time week has finished, so we don't get too ahead of ourselves.... so, if it's alright with anyone, I'd like to keep the nominations open until the 10th.

Nominations so far:

NOMINATIONVotesNOTES
Pie week -Pie!
Nude Week-Everybody is naked invisible!
Cuisine week - You are cooking food, or eating food, or maybe you just are food...
Desire week - Desire takes many forms, whether its a craving for something, lusting after that special someone or even a desire for revenge
The Future week- -your chance to show off your jetpack, flying car, private spaceship, personal robot butler, or any of those other pieces of wonderful future technology that we were all supposed to have.
Crime vs, The Law week -Stereotypical criminals versus members of the law enforcement profession, could work wonders for freeform roleplaying with heists and police raids being planned, jailbreaks being achieved in the most unlikely of ways (for example with a smuggled teddybear- without anything hidden inside) and safe houses on both sides being taken out- and nobody knows which side the mods would really be on, do they?
Robot Week - 
Work Week -Your avatar is shown in your current job, your favorite job you've had, or a job you hope to have.
FoYL(Fruits of Your Labor) Week -Your avatar is shown enjoying some of your country's or the country you're currently in's exports. You could alternatively have your avatar enjoying what you make yourself at your job(if applicable).
First Custom Avvie Week -Use your first ever avatar. Not counting any generic site provided ones.
Mistaken Identity - the idea of Mistaken Identity Week is that you swap avatars (and signatures, and locations) with someone else, and then watch the fireworks fly.
Vacation Week - 
Local Stereotypes Week - 
Team up week - Playgrounders crate teams like in sports or political gropups. They dress their avatar the same like a uniform.
Masquerade week. - Paper faces on parade!

Alternatively, we could stick it on the list another three times and split the vote between six different nude weeks.
