I just came up this funny idea,
we could make IC a more cross-over kinda thing, like
regularly combine a round with things like Pokemon,

in this round, each player could be given a pokedex, and every planet is a different pokemon.
The purpose is to collect as many different pokemons possible,
and have rankings between 'most pokemon seen (once having had in possesion)' and the final
ownership of planets (amount caught).
It will aswell add a fun thing to relations, like allies will trade planets so both families have seen them.
Us players aswell have to become more creative, using different tactiques then the familiar repetitive ones
we have now.

downside thing is, this 'll probably need a lot of realization for the webdevelopers and others to
get it working. perhaps a co-operation is needed with something bigger? perhaps those from pokemon
or later the other 'crossovers' themselves.

or we could drop the 'crossover' bit and just invent funny images ourselve and addept little things to still nice things
without to much work, yet with enough difference. Perhaps it 'll get it attention to things beyond, bringing a new
swing and vigour to IC. let the conflicting begin.
