[Zôrzimril]

Repeat theme suggestions are totally allowed; the voting stage will decide if anything makes a comeback

[The Good Hunter]

Star Wars, but only the sequel trilogy

[Fuin Elda]

Star wars but only Droids. lol

[The Good Hunter]

Different shots of Tauriel

[Fuin Elda]

Different shots of Bombur.

[Fuin Elda]

Different Disney Villians.

[Rillewen]

I don't even know how any of this works.
doctor who maybe?
Star trek?
Disney princesses :P

[Fuin Elda]

Norse Pantheon

[Eriol]

Muppets

We mustn't forget to suggest Hogwarts :D

[Lady of Shadow]

Supernatural (I might even be changing my username back to Lady Winchester for the season if this is an option)
Jurassic Park/World
Pirates of the Caribbean (I'd love to bring Miranda Spano back, since it's been a while since I played her. I had to create her when Mordor did this theme on the Old Plaza because I wasn't familiar enough with the character of my rank to actually role play as him)
Guardians of the Galaxy (the movies, not the TV series)
Coraline (who wouldn't want to play as the Other Mother)
Kill Bill

[Menolly]

I was sent here to suggest weird animals! Uhhh...

Halloweeny/spooky animals (cats, bats, spiders, snakes, toads, weird nocturnal creatures like angler fish, aye aye, potoo)
BEARS
Geese! They are obviously evil and there are plenty of different geese species, we could have a selection
Black and/or orange animals for a color theme? Orangutan, clownfish, black leopard, black bear, Tasmanian devil, indigo snake
Spooky deep sea creatures!
BEARS

[Fuin Elda]

I would like to request a

To terrorize the bears with

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Hmm, there has to be a spoilsport off course to this.... . Otherwise Pre-Halloween fun isn't there at all. I'll be keeping my candle.

[The Good Hunter]

I don't think there needs to be a spoilsport, one can always just not

[Narv]

'halloween sucks we shouldn't do it' = spoilsport

'i'm not into the icon switcharoofest and would rather keep my own' is not only an opinion I share but exactly why I made the thing where folks can just keep their normal icons/ranks etc, so it's helpful to know that some people would like us to keep that. So as one of the folks with the job of trying to make the site kinda be more or less what most people would mostly like it to be most of the time ish, I am grateful for feedback both of the effusive and ineffusive varieties to help calibrate that. Thanks all for the input so far!

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Frost: You're not taking me too seriously, are you?

Narv: Indeed. Halloween isn't culturally in my scope. And Thanksgivings either. Those days pass by as normal days in Holland. There are people who are celebrating it and some stuff is sold in shops. But I ignore it all in daily life. I just made here a bit of fun. I like your option to choose. And in the ideas of a theme... why not the characters from Downton Abbey, all masters and servants? If there is a character I like it's Daisy, the scullery maid. Played by Sophia McShera. Just a small idea. But perhaps they came by in the past as well that I don't know off?

[Nessa Saelind]

Thank you all for the suggestions you have submitted so far, they have been recorded! You are very amazing and creative with all the themes you came up with.

I did notice a lot of you suggested animals Maybe a Plaza ZOO Halloween theme is in order

P.S.

9) Hannibal

I has a question: When you say Hannibal do you mean Hannibal or Hannibal? Asking for a friend *innocent face*

[The Good Hunter]

I knew you would be the one to ask that! My answer would be... both!

[Rior Laegiel]

Snoopy - who doesn't want to play a beagle for halloween? And there are so many. Normal snoopy, dracula snoopy, mummy snoopy, santa snoopy... (obesessed? me? Never! )

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

A kingdom of adorable cats would be lovely.
Musical theatre characters.
And second the Critical Role / D&D idea.

[Pele Alarion]

I'd say the option not to change the icon might be good for those who don't feel like switcheroo.

There are so many suggestions that I can't even think of any! Maybe will return if something interesting comes to mind.

[Rillewen]

WARRIOR CATS! :D (book series by Erin Hunter)

[Nessa Saelind]

Just popping in to say that all of your suggestions have been recorded. If you have any more suggestions or if you just want to throw your support behind someone else's idea you still have time to do it. But (!) clock is ticking folks!

[Fuin Elda]

Monty Python quest for the Holy Grail
CATS the musical (Broadway not the uncanny Valley horror piece of a film)

[Zôrzimril]

Breath of the Wild!

[The Good Hunter]

Studio Ghibli!

[Nessa Saelind]

All suggestions recorded! One more day to throw ideas at your benevolent admin team, although there are 60 suggestions in the table! O.o Of course some of them are repeats, but still! 60! Wow!

Here's some more

- Eagle Kingdom icons, because the eagles saved the Plaza and we have the icons already
- Effin Birds

[Rillewen]

LOTR Theme!!!!!!!!! But like... the kingdoms all mixed up ;)

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Considering we need 9 themes, 60 suggestions is quite reasonable.

And tagging on to the BotW theme, what about Zelda?

[Lail]

My last minute ideas:
For those who want to stay in ME but have some fun - ME animals. My ulterior motive is that I want to see an oliphant icon.

And
Wes Anderson film characters

[Rillewen]

The Zelda suggestion made me think of this: Super Mario bros! :D And/or other oldschool games

[Boromir88]

Classic horror movie villains/monsters played by Christopher Lee.

[Pele Alarion]

Gotta add a couple more:

1) Trees
2) Books (well, book covers, I guess)

[Drífa]

I still have these icons from last year for special ranks if you care to use them. It would be fun to have a sort of weekly lottery game/RP during October whereby folk picked numbers to win a special Halloween icon and wore it for the week. Maybe in the Shire, where a lottery would seem most likely.


Draugluin


Goblin


Goblin 2


Mouth of Sauron


Queen Berúthiel's Cat


Thuringwethil


Witch-king of Angmar


Nameless Thing

[Nessa Saelind]

@Afird Splitax Mouth of Sauron is hilarious!

BTW your suggestions are recorded, only a few more hours left until this thread closes and phase 2 begins. So get your suggestions before I put a lock on this thread. Clock is ticking!

[Zôrzimril]

The suggestion phase has ended, and this thread has been locked! Stay tuned for phase 2!
