I think that there should be not just one thread, rather a rare forum. Probably like what has already been said, a chance of say <1% that your forum, once you FINISH pwning it, can revive itself as a rare forum, with increased difficulty. There could be a second difficulty meter showing how strong a rare forum will be. Something like:

Denture Chat_____Difficulty: 1______If rare: 5

Or something of the sort. The thread should only be able to become rare after fulfilling the storyline requirements, so you’re not trying to pwn a forum that’s higher levels then you are, just to get your bum kicked when it goes rare on you. Actually, it would work almost exactly like Paranoid Panorama, when you finished the forum, only to find a sub-forum. At the end of the rare forum, there needs to be some type of extreme bonus in relation to the thread, like getting 5x cred, getting to pick .moar parts you need, getting a random .moar file completed for you (it would have to be clbum specific, so you don’t end up a camwhore doing all that work only to get a .moar that boosts Douchebaggery ) or something.

Personally, I think this would work pretty well.

Okay, I’ve been reading a lot of the ideas here and trying to synthesize them into something that would work. I used my permanoob to take some screenshots and edit them to simulate what this might look like (please forgive my mediocre photoshop ability, the red lines are where I cut out empty space to make the pictures a bit smaller):

You enter a forum like normal and start pwning threads. If you’ve pwned the forum at least once already then you have a .5% (that’s 1/200) chance of a rare thread appearing (that’s for the entire visit, not for each thread, though depending on how the coding works this could change—maybe a .1% (1/1000) chance per thread or something). If you happen to be so lucky, after pwning a thread you might get:

It’s exactly the same as when a boss thread appears, only with a wonderful MSPaint quality popup. Then you’ll be sent to the thread list.

There it is! So long as you pwn the rare thread you’ll get the loot, so if you’re a lowbie and running short on restoratives, it might be wise to go for the rare thread first on the off chance that you won’t get through the rest of the remaining threads. Now let’s take a look inside:

It’s our old friend Ophelia! Yes, I know it looks awkward that all four posts are from her, but since that’s how Ravit’s boss thread was, I’m guessing it’s easier to code that way. Also note that the thread has roughly 2x the required pwnage as the other threads in Woe Is Us. Start pwning.

For all intents and purposes consider a rare thread just a double-powered version of a normal thread for that forum. Once you beat the thread, you’ll get your normal .moar file and maybe 2x the cred. I really didn’t think it was necessary to make another gigantic fake screenshot for that. Now when your real reward comes is in the mail the next day. If you pwned a rare thread, then your delivery will contain a gift from the character you beat.

Hooray! Now just take it and go to your inventory to see what it can do.

Why, the “special items” equip slot finally has a purpose. This is where equippable gifts from your contacts go. For obvious reasons, Ophelia’s item is best suited for an emo kid, and its stats are around the appropriate level for the level 9 forum it came from. It’s certainly a better choice to equip than that outdated old male reproductive organblaster.

So…. whaddya think?

EDIT: Fixed the percents for how often you could find them. Depending on the system either .5% chance per forum or .1% chance per thread. I also think I’ll add links to these pictures to the first post of the thread for easier access

The fact you designed all of this out, ET should do this. Now

Mbumive thumbs up.

I’d suck its male reproductive organ!

Awesome. I’m glad this is so popular and so many people were able to help.

So, uh… is there anything really that I can do to bring this to Crotch Zombie’s attention/consideration? Write a list of all the signs and tubmail someone? Or do I just hope eventually a mod skims this thread?

This is great, but I have one more question. In your plan, are the rare threads appearing at the start of the visit? Because In all honesty, they should really only appear maybe 2-3 threads in so no one can just go “OH HAY IS THIS A RAER THREAD?!?!? NO OKEY *leaves forum and returns*”

If Trout doesn’t put this in, this will be the most bumhurt on the internet since gaiafabulous persons found out their pixel swords wouldn’t do **** for them in their ****ty battle game.

Nope, not at the start of the visit. Krakmunky pointed that problem out on page 1. The reason there’d need to be a whole “rare thread!” notification to begin with is because it’ll have to work so that the thread only appears after pwning a few. That way you’d have to spend a forum visit to check for a rare.

Now if only I could figure out how to get a mod/CZ person to look at this thread… Log in to see images!
