    LDR: The Game! Need everyone's help!

    Sooo, wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread. It's not really a game in itself, so I didn't put it in the game forum. But it's about one. You see..

    I'm a freshman at an art college. My long distance relationship is what drove me to attend this school (I now live in the same state as my SO), and it's what inspires me in all of my work. For 3D Design, we have to create a marketable "toy". I decided I'm going to make a board game about long distance relationships.

    It's going to be overly simplified, since I have to concentrate on design more than the actual game. The starting point is the beginning of an LDR and the objective is to close the distance (the end). Whoever gets there first wins, obviously. In between there will be chances to draw cards with scenarios on them that will either push you back, for push you forward and closer to ending the distance.

    What I need from the best LDR community on the internet are some scenarios I can put on the cards. ANYTHING, that comes to your mind, even if it doesn't pertain to your LDR.

    Anything about college couples, high school couples, military couples, couples that have been together for 10 years, couples that have been together for 2 months, it doesn't matter!

    I need both good and bad scenarios. Example: You get a pay raise at work, therefore more money to go towards seeing your SO - good. You bought your plane ticket but realized that you planned your visit for the biggest exam of your college career and have to cancel seeing your SO - bad.

    Stuff like that, but WHATEVER you can think of, especially things that have happened to you. Even if you think it's silly, I need as many scenarios as possible. You've seen those card stacks in Monopoly games, they're huge! I will write every single scenario everyone comes up with. And who knows, some people have used this project as their one-way ticket out of college and into a good job. Maybe I can make this into something bigger than just an assignment. =]

    Omgosh, this idea is sooooo cute! I would love to see this game design once it's completed!

    The only idea I can think of the top of my head for right now is-Shared your first kiss...obvious good <3 Haha, I'll be thinking up more and I'm excited to see what everyone else thinks of!

      Aww!! So cute!

      Car breaks down and needs expensive repair.

      Parents support you and are willing to pitch in for a visit!

      Flight is delayed over-night due to weather.

              First time you pooted around your SO.
              When s/he saw you pick your nose.
              You were at a mexican restaurant, you ate way too many tacos! Oh no, later tonight s/he's going to have to hear and smell that struggle, in the battle ground that will be your bathroom!

              First time you saw each-other naked
              Being shipped off to serve.

              You both buy puppies/kittens/rats/fishies and name them after eachothers pet names
              You reveal your fear of heights.

                Sounds like an awesome game.

                Good:
                Your parents accept him/her into the family.

                Bad:
                Your SO is getting weary of the distance and wants a break.

                  This is so cute!! Post pics of the design when you finish, please!

                  Good:
                  Find out that you have a paid business trip to your SO's city

                  Bad:
                  You've been looking for jobs in your SO's city for a year, and still haven't found anything.

                    Your boss tells you you're being transferred even further away from your SO.

                    You meet up exactly halfway between your two houses for a romantic weekend. (we did that once- it was literally in the middle of no where, but it was so much fun!)

                    You get space in the closet to leave your things at his/her place.

                    You lose your phone and have no way to contact your SO to let him/her know.

                    Miscommunication over text occurs- Big fight happens over nothing!

                      Huge thunderstorm rips through your city. Your power goes out during your online date night. You end the night early because you have 1 battery bar left on your cell phone and can't charge it. Move back 2 places/squares.

                              Thanks, Michelle! I'll definitely post the final product. Especially if it turns out well, because I have to get stuff professionally printed like a real board game. Some toys from this assignment in the past have actually been sold and people have gotten hired on the spot!
