Candyland. Everryyyyyyone has played Candyland at some point or another, and theres a song by Norwegian pop group Aqua called Candyland as well. I figure itd be funny to have a spirit along the lines of: Candyland: For 10....70 seconds, anytime one person/creature uses a skill that targets another, that target gains 5 health. Oooooo or maybe make it "all targets within range gain 5 health." Useless? Maybe. But man would it be funny to heal someone for 5 hp by casting fireball on them.--Ryudo 06:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * isn't Aqua Danish?? [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] ^ Teo ^ 06:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, Aqua are Danish. I don't think that they would be a very appropriate cultural reference for Denmark either. Rød grød med fløde perhaps, but not Aqua! :D -- WarBlade 07:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Pølse is like a must if you're gonna get a cultural reference for denmark.. i mean, cmon [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] ^ Teo ^ 14:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, my mistake. Still, I was thinking the combo of their fairly popular Candyland song, plus the Candyland boardgame, would be something many people in many different countries could associate with.--Ryudo 01:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never played Candyland... Maybe it's 'cause i live in Sweden but still.... [[Image:User_Teo_Sig_Icon.JPG]] ^ Teo ^ 06:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Just what is candyland??? i have no idea what it is, while I'm from Europe indeed (The Netherlands). Rhydeble 20:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A kids' board game.  Calor  &mdash;  talk  20:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Kids' games are a sweet idea. I learned that what I grew up with as "Chutes and Ladders" is called Snakes and Ladders in Great Britain. Wonderful game, and sweet memories. I'm wild about Clue (Cluedo in the UK), enjoy Monopoly a great deal (I have five different versions of that game), and The Game of Life, too. I'm sort of a board game nut, really. I'd love a reference or two to classic board games in Guild Wars! Come to think of it, we may already have a couple...? *ponder* -- Gaile [[Image:User gaile_2.png| ]] 03:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * board games would be cool, Snakes and ladders deffently. maybe a 3d Guild wars version with a twist. Cluedo would be interesting as you could include many characters. Was it Mhenlo in the Jade Sea with a lockpick? who knows? Smithyben
 * Nah, it was Eve in the Crystal Desert with Verata's Aura. She sac'd herself to death. --Mme. Donelle 21:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
