Ah! Wonko! I was wondering if you were still alive.

I have been looking over all the house-related stuff, and it seems what we
are lacking is a goal, of any sort whatsoever, really. Yeah, I guess if you
beat someone up you can get their stuff, but that stuff can only really help
you beat more people up.

I guess a few of the Talismans and Rooms can affect other parts of the game
(voting, for example), but these seem limited in scope and not really worth
the effort of fighting for.

Perhaps we need a set of rewards for killing people beyond what they were
carrying, or stuff in the house to fight over. For instance, maybe once
every nweek a treasure could spawn in a random room and everyone would have
to race to get there and get it and defend it and get it out, or to another
room, or something. I haven't worked out any details, but something along
these lines might help get people interested in actually doing stuff.

Another good thing might be for there to be a way to Win. It should be
really hard (Kill everyone else at least once within an nweek, or own one of
every talisman, or... something.) but it should exist, just so there is an
overall goal to strive for.

If I get a chunk of time, I'll sit down and try to beat some of these ideas
into a Motion, but until then, if anyone else wants to steal them they are
very welcome to.
