I think sports could be fine. It may work best as a smaller game and people should know what they're getting into ahead of time though. I also mentioned Olympics cause that would allow a more general approach to sports that imo could appeal to casual fans in addition to others. Like it'd be more of a focus on the sports in general than specific athletes and teams from a minor league soccer thing nobody cares about.
That being said, if I run a game this summer, I'm leaning towards MCU/Skyrim/Food/SW/UN- BROseidon

Also like logos are so devoid of personality, it's messed up but how someone's avatar looks totally affects how I think of them and how much I like them. And I also got Columbus and Colorado mixed up all the time and still do tbh
I didn't get the people in Nexus messed up and I knew none of them going in, I don't know what Hiplop is talking about. Also Zabanthur isn't a thing.- Skelda

I think the best themes are themes that virtually all potential players can relate to, I don't care that much about most themes and sign up regardless of them, but my favorite theme so far of a game that I've been in is Civ because even though I don't play the video game, I know world history and almost everyone knows some world history so that was an easy place to start conversations
The polar opposite of that is DBZ Abridged where the theme was about as niche as it can get
So I would support like a UN game or a Food game, I know people were suggesting Survivor of the Fittest at one point and that would also be great. You want as much familiarity with the theme as possible- Shadoweh

I really enjoyed being able to reuse basically every conversation ever about Pikachu. As long as it's something I can talk about. Marvel/DCU/Pokemon are all great themes for that reason.
I had no problem with MLS avatars, I thought their basic, bright color schemes were aesthetically pleasing >.>I HATE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE GO JUMP INTO A FREEZING LAKE - Mr. Freeze

i would absolutely play survivor cricketIn post 58, Vijarada wrote:Skyrim has tens/hundreds, although perhaps not many appealing characters. All Elder Scrolls would have more & be great. minecraft no characters, but popular franchise. food would be good I would love food. hunger games doesn't appeal to me.

Literally never heard of fortnite apart from hella people are streaming it on twitch or whatever.
