I think something like a Festival will work best where there will be events in each section along with forum wide events. Forum wide events could include scavenger hunts that hide specific items (Images that would be edited into posts around the forum) such as certain pokemon items like mega stones etc and a thread would be created where there will be something like 2 or 3 hidden each week of the event and riddles would be posted weekly hinting at where we have hidden them. We could then hand out badges for people who found them all. We could also do pokemon giveaways if we are able to and do puzzles like crosswords like we did for our valentines day event.

I'm not sure what other sections could do, but Artist's Easel could host events such as art/pixel/writing contests and also collaborations with the intent to have one huge piece of work where all the community has helped create. Obviously there will need to be guidelines so it doesn't become chaotic and people argue over what they want to do or if they think it is a good idea. We could even host mini events such as daily drawings where a description is given each day and people have to draw it however they imagine it so many different images will be created from one thing and everyone can then comment and give tips and they could be rated by the community and everyone who manages to do this for each description would get a badge.

If we are not going to have the WAR system where we have teams where we gather points to win, I think we need to utilize the badge system more and decide on different rewards to make everything seem worthwhile and more interactive.
