(terrible) Alert Ideas

1. Airplane Adventure

ViPER/The New Purple gang/ Your Mother has taken over this airplane! You, and a group of other heroes, must travel from economy to the pilot's cabin to to fight them in this close quarters, difficuluy to maneuver Alert!
(it would be bad because terrorism is a real thing and is likely to be a trigger for PTSD)

2. You're Kinda Hungry

Your team of heroes is hungry! You must save all the hot dog vendors before VIPER/New Purples/Your Mother gets in your way!
(it would be bad because it demeans the villains)

Anyone else got an idea for a terrible alert? Say what it is, describe it, then say why it would be a bad idea!
Why?

Gives whoever reads the suggestions box a chuckle and gives anyone in charge something to ponder.

    Red Dragon, Green Snake

    A hero under attack from a martial arts villain who wants to prove himself in a one-on-one challenge recruits five heroes to beat him up, then boasts his martial arts are superior. :)

    Hair Salon Melee

    VIPER/New Purple Gang/Medusa & Mind Slayer/Baron Cimitere/Alert Villains have managed to break into the latest hair salon in Millennium City in an attempt to woo civilians into joining their organization because of their awesome hair styles.

    You must fight through the hoards of enemies using a mixture of your powers and cosmetic products in order to win and be rewarded.

    - Upon successful completion the alert grants the "Super Hair Flip" buff which has a chance to stun enemies you are fighting or those you run past.

    Why is this a bad idea? - Some of us already have fabulous hair. Would make everyone laugh at Medusa even more since she has no real hair in game. I don't think many bosses would benefit much from going to a hair salon.

    Bathroom Brawl!

    {insert villain here} was at a concert of {some music star}, when he/she had to use the restroom. While waiting in a long line for the bathroom and missing their favorite songs, they had an accident and went ballistic, and has started breaking and smashing everything in sight with the help of 500 goons that showed up to support the bathroom madness!

    A team of heroes must go in and stop the destruction and make sure that {insert villain here} is diapered up and has no more accidents, and get extra points for raising money to help build more bathrooms!

    How the Cookies Crumble!

    {insert villain here}, falling on hard times, has started mugging several 'Girl Explorers' selling their cookies in the area. 900 robots/monsters/spirits magically show up to support {insert villain here} and discuss how they are going to spend their cut of all the phat lewt and cookies, and enjoy making little girls cry!

    A group of heroes needs to come in and stop {insert villain here}'s diabolical scheme before they have enough money and cookies to take over the entire world! It might be a close call, but can you save humanity and all of creation?!

    I like where you're going with this, but how do we define the NPCs? I'm picturing Red Dragon as a Chinese woman voiced by Troy Baker, and Green Snake is a white guy who speaks only in frighteningly realistic barnyard animal noises.
    Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
    They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends

    Now, now - it's no fair using actual terrible Alerts.

    if you want an actual terrible alert, you could always end up doing a lot worse...such as GRAB the money and run.

    Tutorial Alert: Level 4 noobs team with your level 10 to 40 character as you fight level 30 Qularr, Destroids and Black Talon in Champions HQ and you can't leave until you turn off all the beacons, except the beacons toggle so you can totally troll people who can't possibly be at all the beacons at once.

    Full-on Fatgun - A villain has discovered a hyper-saturated strain of Draysha, and has used it upon themselves, causing them to grow to be 50 feet tall. You now must take a bit of it yourself and fight the villain while trying to limit damage done to Downtown Millennium City.

    Rampage: Cazulon - The Qularr succeeded in using the growth ray to restore the deadly giant monster Cazulon to his full size. Without a convenient bull**** mcguffin to make our heroes grow to 50 feet tall, Gadget Boy chips in by lending the city his giant robot. Only problem, it's meant to be piloted by 10 people. Take part in this epic, turn-based battle against cazulon as 10 people try to vote and select controls in the robot, in a rampage vaguely inspired by the magnificent production of "Twitch Plays Pokemon".

    Baby Battle

    Thanks to the magic of Bragomart, the Shadow Queen, the heroes have been transformed into giant babies and kidnapped to the Nightmare Nursery, a place in Faerie for changeling babies. Using the Become Giant Baby device that you can't drop until the alert is over, fight through the armies of dark elves to confront the Nursery's dark matron, the cronish Granma Grimm!

    Robot Assault
    Due to a slight misunderstanding about Mechanon's invasion, a horde of Rednecks (or Bogans in Australia) are on the rampage in Snake Gulch, beating up any robots they find.
    well in between getting drunk and getting into fights with the Viper guards because they are trying to steal the big green Trucks

    Your task, rescue Belle and her dancing girls (ok and the other robots too) from the Rednecks.

    Why it is bad?
    Why bother, just let them kill each other.

    Forum hunt;
    your job is to place your ideas in the most visible positions to get the attention of a Dev(no Bribes allowed).
    You must beat off all the other people with ideas using whatever tactics you can.
    using your powers of create circumstantial evidence, jumping to conclusions, flame jets, cause argument(CC)etc.

    Why is this bad?
    well most of the writing work is already done.
