The dynasty is currently doing on a word-collection route (it's themed after Katamari Damacy, great game btw, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC3dEhbAPh8). I made a proposal which would allow the Katamari (and the players) to collect words from Agora's ruleset, which would be special "Extraterrestrial" items (words). Just a stub for now though, but figured it was worth mentioning.
