This is a thread specifically for the discussion and planning of potential forum projects the Pippa viewers within the Asylum may create to celebrate Pippa, whether it be for her kayfabe birthday, debut anniversary, or et cetera. In 2023 we had the SOVLful website created by @Punished Anime Discusser displayed on stream for the anniversary, and now the time for a discussion of what the Asylum's most schizo inmates will create next in celebration of the pink retard (affectionate) has come again.
(Ignore this thread if you are not a Pippa viewer, this is a containment thread for the containment thread.)

I'm gonna ramble a bit about what can be done for Pippa's birthday, since there's a couple of options, but they all really depend on one or two members of the community properly organizing it, and we don't really have a proper organizer this time around. This community has never been particularly "creative" aside from a few people who can draw (yes, including you Pipkun). We also don't really have any musical people or people familiar with mixing, so a group-cover of Pippa the Ripper a-la 4chan Sings would probably be unrealistic. And the only people who would've been capable of good web dev have left. We're kinda working with a lot more holes in our community than we did last time.
I personally would be willing to use my knowledge of Reaper and some black magic to get a "TVA Sings" together, but I dunno if you guys wanna do that, especially since it'd be revealing all of our voices. I know how to anonymize the process somewhat if people just wanna sing without putting names to voices, but then again, I dunno how many of you would be willing to sing. I could probably also include people playing instruments if they'd rather do that.
I think the most important thing here is hitting something that's uniquely "Virtual Asylum". 4chan already has 4chan Sings and their own little collages, and the Capipicord always has the extreme effort put in by simps to make something unique like a billboard or a highly-edited long-form video. Something somewhere in the middle, that allows us with our slightly higher level of coordination to get something more interesting done, would probably be best.
...Now, this might be a cursed idea, but what happened with that roleplay stream showed that some of us are willing to go out of our way to be a bit silly with the forum format. Maybe we could do a kind of "sequel" to last year's project, and instead of making just a joke webpage, we could make our own little joke "forum", in the style of those old roleplay forums that she browsed. It wouldn't be an actual forum - it'd just be for show - but we could add a whole bunch of custom CSS and signatures and stuff and have it be explorable like an actual forum. One thread for thank yous and messages for Pippa, another to show off silly little things we did,another for "joking" roleplay,etc. I'd be willing to mess around with CSS stuff to get it properly themed, since generally those smaller PHPBB forums or whatever are pretty cheap and easy to manipulate compared to full neocities-style HTML wizardry.
Feel free to continue spitballing ideas.
My initial thought is to make an Phase Connect-themed RPG Maker game.
- The old RPG Maker engines are cheap (only a few dollars), and fairly easy to work with (there are tutorials and help manuals online). Users can contribute stuff like design ideas, dialog, graphics, maps, playtest, or even just reference ideas for each of the talents, so there's a lot of different places people can contribute, and there's fairly low barriers to entry, including plenty of options that don't cost money.
- We would start on a small scale. By small-scale, I mean Gen 1 talents as characters, some gear for characters to equip, a few different skills that each of them have, some enemies to fight and maybe two or three bosses, a short story and a low level cap (say, level 10). Once we're happy with that, we can add more stuff, depending on how much time we have. That could include more talents or simply more things like skills, items, levels, and so forth.
- Since we'd be doing all of Gen 1, rather than just Pippa, our project can be presented to the other talents too.
Maybe a guide to rabbit-proof recipes so she doesn't poison herself again? I suspect there's a lot about the subject she never learned, and she doesn't even know what she doesn't know. A quick-and-dirty guide to commonly used equipment, terminology, and precautions, with a variety of simple recipes that are compatible with her known tastes might be more accessible than trying to figure it out herself.
Call it "To Serve Rabbit."
Stuff like handling and storage of fish, how to care for and safely clean kitchen knives, what basic equipment you should always have, how to avoid and put out grease fires, etc.
Edit: Stuff that would be in a 50s-60s Betty Crocker cookbook, but not as overwhelming for streamer brain.
Okay, suggestion: Birthday stream, Pippa gets a cookbook. It can be done fairly quickly but we'd have enough time to do it well. I also think step-by-step photos would be helpful here, and also make the cookbook more presentable.
For the anniversary stream, what about a timeline of Phase Connect achievements, growth and notable events? I think a slideshow would be a really good format for this and we can include stuff like music.
