Brainstorm

[Agent Todd]

Let's hear some ideas for new missions that could be done in NYC, your home town, or globally at the same time!

[Paul Forster]

How about lots of agents in a train station with suitcases, when a train pulls up they all go to catch the train but their bags wont move no matter how hard they try, When the train leaves they un-stick and run after it. This requires some mime skills but its easily learnt.

[Ron Jaffe]

This actually is a great idea - Loads of people just carrying a suitcase and walking around, seemingly late for something, all walking in different directions ignoring each other.

[Ursula]

Kind of odd bazaar not the best idea. In a big park have gigantic line of people waiting for like the length of like two city blocks just waiting and at the front of the line a dude with a big bing of buttons and when its you turn you remove one than move on with your life, but all different types of people like business men circus clowns kids artsy folk average joes houswifes all waiting for a button and when asked why they are all waiting in line they point to the dude handing out buttons and if asked why do you need a button say for my dog, to save my marriage, for homework, because i need to brush my teeth and other ridiculous stuff like that

When I used to work in downtown Baltimore, I would sometimes stop and simply just look straight up at a tall building. It was fun finding many others stopping to see what I was looking at. I never answered them, just swallowed and kept looking up. I only wish there was someone there to film it.

I think a global sing off would be awesome. Pick one song ("we are the world"???) and start singing at same time time. Or maybe something more simple like EVERYONE just start to hum at once. Or everyone whistle at once...as if a bomb is falling. (of last one may not be so funny)

[Agent Nachtigall]

I think that'd have a good effect if one person started singing and gradually the rest of the group joined in so it'd look more spontaneous. At first a few people might look at the leader a little funny for randomly singing in public and then someone would get into it and start singing along, etc. It'd have to be something really fun and catchy.

[Ursula]

Get a mass of people in a large public area to start singing a song. Idk what some thing bright cheery well known. First thing that came to mind was all you need is love by the beatles and have dancers with stacks of lyrics handing them out to random people (dont throw them or the police will say littering). See how many and how loud it will get. I bet you could get the entire city singing

[Whitney]

I was thinking of doing something similar in one of the campus dining halls, where we have a 'Diner' themed section that is equipped with a glorious Jukebox. Unfortunately, they have no beatles. But I was thinking Boston's "More Than A Feeling" was adequate. Getting twenty or thirty people to get up and air guitar/drum/bass and sing along would definitely grab peoples' attention. And it's always been my dream to get that entire section singing and dancing to the wonderful jukebox music. (And by 'always', I mean 'since the middle of last semester when I was struck by a moment of incredible brilliance'.)

[David]

This is similar to my fav the grand central freeze, have alot of people in a department store or shopping centre just collapse to the floor and stay there for a set period of time.

[Freddy Dee]

I think collapsing would be worrisome to non-agents, and could cause complications ("Quick, call 911!")

I propose other unorthodox behavior in department stores or malls. Not all agents in one big mass, but scattered throughout the establishment (but enough of them that most shoppers would be likely to notice several agents participating simultaneously from whatever vantage point). Simultaneously, the agents would do something like:

Sit down on the floor in an aisle for 15 seconds, then get up...
[continue shopping for 15 seconds]
Stop to do 3 push-ups and 3 sit-ups
[continue shopping for 15 seconds]
All stop to tie their shoelaces
[continue shopping for 15 seconds]
Stop still and look up for 15 seconds
[continue shopping for 15 seconds]
Do 5 more push-ups

... or whatever. It wouldn't need to be 100% co-ordinated, but just a little "odd". Nothing that would get the store/mall security folks too weirded out or otherwise jeopardize the mission.

[KenAFP]

Perpetual crosswalk.

I heard this happen a few years ago in Gatlinburg, TN. Where a few people crossed at the crosswalk, doubled around and re-crossed. They kept going around in circles. After a while, others joined them and the initial group of people left the crosswalk and found it still going with the general puiblic who just joined in. Apparently, it caused quite a traffic issue!

[Agent Marinara]

I need some help for ideas!!! I live in a small city with limited resources. It's a VERY boring city. I am only a 15 and have started a group with friends called Fo.Do.C.S. (Fort Dodge Chaos Society). We only have a few places to do random acts of crazy funny chaos. We have a target, walmart, hyvee, movie theater, a mall and tons of small parks no one goes to... If any one can help that would be awesome.
