When Warbears (and other famous characters, like the evil groundhogs, Plankto..) will be in BTC, how would you prefer to see them?

I've been thinking about the best way to include them in BTC for a while now (we all knew eventually they'd be around).
Some of you suggested to have mods play as them, but this wouldn't allow much people to interact with them, plus we wouldn't be sure they would play them well.
I'd probably go the bot way, with some little events that happen randomly, like for example:
Steve comes into the bar, sits down and you talk to him, ask for an autograph, etc. Then Lucas comes in and say "We've got to go! There's an emergency!" and they both walk out.

Wow, I like this! How often would they appear though? Or if it's a Mod, then will the Mod accounts be used anymore?

I like the "actor" idea.

Yeah, sounds great! Smile

Another cool idea would be able to make a bear instead of a citizen, but I'm sure that's a looong ways off.

Heh, it would be quite cool to see Ioji make an appearance as a bear... and Rowena to do the same thing...

Make it an interactive event, but don't tell anyone when it is (or else there would be a massive panic).

Or you could have "Meet the Warbears" day.

How about one of the warbears become an NPC, but at an existing location (like Steve and his rain machine at the news stand).

You could have that "notice board" at the News stand to first announce that they are coming to BTC.

Then they would have a stage in Feather Park where they would perform to the audience. Maybe Steve would have a stand up comedy show or sharp shooting, Ryoh; Sword fighting etc. And, as Johnathan said, it could be interactive.

After a few days of performing, they could pop in public places regularly, like Steve might come and get a beer at the Bar, Kla could come fix the Quizbots...

I think if you went with the bot way, then you'd have to make sure things didn't repeat too much.
Having the same conversation over and over would (eventually) lose it's novelty.

You should have little cutscenes that are preset, like you said.

I wouldn't mind at all if Steve came into the bar and started hitting on me, that would be hilarious. You should definiatly have someone follow a random citizen around when they enter saying "Hey" "Hey You" and so on. Just poking their back, and going wherever they go.

The mod thing would be stupid. I think mods are worshiped enough already, we don't really need to put them on an even higher pedestal.

The second part of your post is the best way to go, Ioji. Random things like that. It shouldn't be very frequent, though. Just something that happens every once in awhile.


Maybe they could come once a month, and you can have a conversation with them (like you would have with an NPC). If you choose the right things to say, they could give you a special Warbears piece of furniture, or maybe a shirt or something.

Once a month wouldn't be any good because that's just too long.

I think maybe 2 appearences from each Warbear a day would be reasonable

Eh, that's too frequent. It would just become a nuisance.

hmm....bots would be good.....

but how about actors AND bots. bots would be usual, but a citizen chosen to be an actor can change their appearance from citizen to warbear on the map with a little "Bear" button under their citizen so they can log in as a bear, and when they don't there's a bot.

twice a week maybe?

I like the bots thing, I would love it if sometimes there were groundhogs in the park and then the Warbears came and chased them away. You would never see the mods anymore if they could be Warbears so I don't really like that idea too much. It would also be hard to tell what mod you were talking to if they were dressed up as Warbears.

Yeah! Finally i could meet them!! Grin grin Well, I'd prefer to make them as characters for a mission in BTC. Like the SL Quest. And when you finish, you can talk, idk...
Or they can be NPC's, like the Gary, and then you have options, like autograph, like you said, How're things lately, or something of the genre.
