I'm messing around with an idea which takes advantage of being able to edit your mission. I want to make a mission which evolves based on Passive-ists input.

The idea:
Passive-ists leave comments, and daily I go through the comments and mutate the mission to match.

Currently, I'm trying this with a mission:
http://pmog.com/missions/top_10_...

You take the mission, then, in a comment, you tell me your personal 2 favorite webcomics (any webcomics at all). At the end of the day I'll change the mission to show the Top 10 webcomics chosen by those who took it.

This way, your input effectively changes the mission.

This is just a prototype for how it would work, there are probably better uses than top 10 lists.

Also, I understand this looks like spam, but I really just want your opinion on the idea. In fact, this mission is designed for people to take it over and over to see what the current Top 10 is (which of course doesn't get me DP over and over)

Thanks,

It does sound like a great idea!

The only thing is that people probably won't re-take the mission becuase, once taken, it doesn't count toward their taken missions score =(
Also you can't see that the mission was updated.

For now, making a new mission each day / week might be the best solution?

I would do that, but I don't want to spam with repeated missions.

It would be interesting though if you could close missions.

Hmmm, the prospect of closing missions intrigues me, actually.
