Admittedly, I'd be open to more Fairground games in general, but I recently had an idea for a "tower defense"-style minigame that could be added. I'm thinking it could be about Gaolers keeping the Shade contained, preventing it from reaching out into the rest of Sornieth.
I guess the most basic/main type of Gaoler in this minigame could be Sentries, given that they're the ones who fit the "defense" role best, although I can still see the different Gaoler orders having different lines of defense against the Shade enemies in the game (some aspects of Flight Rising's gameplay - including the Fairground games - aren't exactly canon to some of the stated lore, so this probably wouldn't be that big of a deal). To add a bit of a challenge, the different Shade enemies in the game could also have specific weaknesses against certain types of Gaolers.
Also, I just find tower defense games fun - I remember playing games like Bloons Tower Defense a lot when I was a kid. It could even be a pretty good way of earning treasure over a period of time, akin to the other Fairgrounds games with levels.

I don't know that I know what that even means, but I'm always in favour of more variety in the fairground games! Support.

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_defense]"Tower defense"[/url] is basically a genre of games in which you're supposed to prevent enemies from reaching something at the end of a path - given that Gaolers are meant to protect Sornieth from the Shade, I feel like that concept could work for a tower defense game.

Ahh okay! And yes, that sounds like it would be very appropriate for gaolers!

Huge support. We need more fairgrounds games. I never like playing the ones we have, I just force myself to get through glimmer and gloom everyday for the 75kt. But to be fair, the games in fairgrounds just aren't really my style. But I could really get down with a TD type game, even if the payout is bad I'd 100% still play just for fun.

Oh definitely! I will admit that the games in the Fairgrounds are decently fun for the most part, though they can be a bit tedious to play at times, and I feel like a more strategy-focused game would be more engaging for a lot of users.

Oh this could have some really fun mechanics and achievements! I would dare say that you would get paid per round (Eg: surviving round one would pay 500 t then two would pay 750 t ect)
