Icehole
Not long before the announcement of Glitch closing, I had a random idea for a new cold area. I wrote it up as this note and sent it to one of the staff members.
"This idea started with the whole kerfuffle over the name Asslandia. Somehow, that made me wonder... why is it we get ice cubes from nubbins? I seriously would have thought we'd get them from an Icehole. But since we have ice nubbins already... perhaps way up north is an Icehole. Much like the Great Hole to Ix, you can jump in the Icehole to enter a new region of Ix. The region would be full of ice slides and chutes, purely for the fun of slipping and sliding. We'd need ladders to climb up, or blocks of ice forming stairs to climb. Perhaps we'd have to work together to push the blocks of ice around to get to different slides on each street. Snowballs could grow on some new kind of trees, and we could harvest them to throw at each other for snowball fights. Perhaps, like the Hi signs, we could get badges for avoiding the snowballs - or better yet, badges for hitting people with our snowballs. We could craft new snowball-launching tools, like a slingshot. But not to be too much like an actual battle - snowball fights are great fun, and getting hit with a snowball should increase your mood.
