On a distant planet, full of greedy accountants. There are a race of ponies who are slaves to the accountants who constantly mine crystals to make the accountants even richer! You play as an activist pony wanting to rid the other ponies of there slavery and end the crystal monopoly. The only way to do it, blow everything up including the greedy accountants!!
go ahead and use this if you want lol. I'm thinking more along the lines of the core mechanics being completely dependant on the elements themselves (which is starting to make my head hurt).
Haha userjp, that's almost my idea, except you play as the evil Accountants lording over the ponies in the mines, buying upgrades and defending against Treehugging pony lovers from setting them free.
Hope no one stealz mai preshious ideez *guards idea like rabid squirrel*
So far every idea I came up with would probably fall under an AO rating. I suggest prohibiting farm animals as being an element in any future contests.

If you really stretched it, it might work. I asked the same thing earlier in the thread. The basic response that I got was that you could, but it would definitely be stretching it. You'd be better off doing something else for your pony element.

yeah, the farm animal comment was :O
about my q, thanks. Maybe I won't use that element. have a secret idea that uses the other three though!
Bear in mind that you can of course have other things as major features in your game as well. If you want to make your accountants dragon-riders instead of pony-riders then that's fine as long as you either do both the other two elements or include the ponies some other way, e.g. dragonfuel [grin]
