Candyland. Everryyyyyyone has played Candyland at some point or another, and theres a song by Norwegian pop group Aqua called Candyland as well. I figure itd be funny to have a spirit along the lines of: Candyland: For 10....70 seconds, anytime one person/creature uses a skill that targets another, that target gains 5 health. Oooooo or maybe make it "all targets within range gain 5 health." Useless? Maybe. But man would it be funny to heal someone for 5 hp by casting fireball on them.--[[User:Ryudo|Ryudo]] 06:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
:isn't Aqua Danish?? [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] '''[[User:Teo|^Teo^]]''' 06:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, Aqua are Danish. I don't think that they would be a very appropriate cultural reference for Denmark either. Rød grød med fløde perhaps, but not Aqua! :D -- [[User:WarBlade|WarBlade]] 07:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Pølse is like a must if you're gonna get a cultural reference for denmark.. i mean, cmon [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] '''[[User:Teo|^Teo^]]''' 14:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Ah, my mistake. Still, I was thinking the combo of their fairly popular Candyland song, plus the Candyland boardgame, would be something many people in many different countries could associate with.--[[User:Ryudo|Ryudo]] 01:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I've never played Candyland... Maybe it's 'cause i live in Sweden but still.... [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] '''[[User:Teo|^Teo^]]''' 06:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

:Kids' games are a sweet idea. I learned that what I grew up with as "Chutes and Ladders" is called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_ladders Snakes and Ladders] in Great Britain. Wonderful game, and sweet memories. I'm wild about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluedo Clue] (Cluedo in the UK), enjoy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game) Monopoly] a great deal (I have five different versions of that game), and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_of_Life The Game of Life], too. I'm sort of a board game nut, really. I'd love a reference or two to classic board games in Guild Wars! Come to think of it, we may already have a couple...? *ponder* -- [[User:Gaile Gray|Gaile]] [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 03:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::board games would be cool, Snakes and ladders deffently. maybe a 3d Guild wars version with a twist. Cluedo would be interesting as you could include many characters. Was it Mhenlo in the Jade Sea with a lockpick? who knows? Smithyben
:::Nah, it was Eve in the Crystal Desert with Verata's Aura. She sac'd herself to death. --[[User:Mme. Donelle|Mme. Donelle]] 21:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
