Event idea: DramAIDS

@XY and @A randomly pick a user (they can't be a dead account) and infect them with DramAIDS. They will not know they are infected. The game goes for 4 weeks.

If you respond to this person's comments or posts, you will 100% get their AIDS. If you participate in a thread where they are also participating, there is a 5% chance you will get their AIDS. You will not know you are infected.

You can buy a Condom award (5 DC) which will protect you for 15 minutes. You can also buy a PreP award (200 DC) which will protect you for one day.

You will never know you have DramAIDS unless you buy an AIDS Test award (100 DC).

Due to a manufacturing shortage during the DramAIDS crisis, there will be a shortage of Condom, Prep, and Test awards, and only a certain amount can be bought every day, even if someone else buys them all. You can buy them from other people on a black market for any price they ask.

Idk maybe there's a Cure For AIDS award for 100,000 DC?

After the first week, the jannies will tell us about the new disease being discovered and show an updated graph of how many people are infected. Essentially they tell us the game has started a week after it already has.

Awards for being Patient Zero, Getting DramAIDS, Not Getting DramAIDS, and Getting Cured of DramAIDS.


Edit: The only symptom you get is Immunocompromised, where downmarseys are 10x as strong and negative awards (Chud, Queen, etc) last 2-7 days. There wouldn't be a visible award or change to your PFP. You'd just have to notice something was wrong with your health. It doesn't happen until 1 week after you are infected.

Getting tested reveals the results only to you, so you can choose to not tell anyone and bait as many people into responding to you or be nice and change your flair to warm people to rubber up.


Anyway I did the hard part of thinking it up, you guys just make it happen.

Either everyone will get aids or this heavily promotes reply abstinence. The only good choice is to make getting aids the goal, so no badge for healthycels.

Edit: also, transmission should not be 100%, and if user is female they should only transmit to a small percentage of replies.

I thought about that stuff too but it's only for 4 weeks. If we were playing for a year or two, then we'd have to rethink the percentages and the price of condoms and stuff. You could introduce a Month-Long PreP award, add symptoms that you get over time -- like being immunocompromised, where downmarseys are 10x stronger and negative awards (ban, chud, etc) last a week.
