I'm definitely on board with the idea of more automated, non-combat world events to give more excuses to visit other places.

Just a couple more ideas for Lispool themed events:

- Ice Skating
Fairly simple premise, you skate around on a frozen lake, continuously moving forward while cracking the ice behind you with your skating trail, after a while this trail will fade. You lose when you either hit the cracked trail (and thus take a dunk into the lake) or travel off the edge.

Single Player:
Basically it'd be like Snake, you collect randomly appearing tokens, collecting them gives you more tokens to exchange for prizes but as you collect more your trail extends.

Multi Player:
Basically it'd be like Tron Cycles, up to four players compete in a last man standing match, you have to use your trail strategically to trap other players while avoiding the same. All players receive tokens roughly based on the match's duration, the last man standing receiving a bonus amount.


- Snowball Fight
Another straightforward premise. This is a 'deathmatch' style game where you pelt the competition with snowballs. This would be played by up to four players, with a minimum of two. Matches last around 2-3 minutes.

Snowballs fly straightforward in the direction you are facing, with some travel time. If they connect with a player, you get a point and they become invincible for a brief duration (so you can't just unload on someone). If they connect with an obstacle (like say a rock or a tree) or the edge of the map, it disappears.

You can collect up to five snowballs, however, once you run out, you are forced to scoop up more snowballs before you can throw again. While you are scooping, you cannot move and may become an easy target.

Players get tokens for participating and the first place winner gets a further bonus.


Admittedly these ideas are less laid-back than fishing and I can't imagine people RPing mid-match during either idea but I think it could be a fun distraction nevertheless.
