I've heard a lot of people saying they've enjoyed the future week stuff before which I'm glad about. 
I thought it was lots of fun. My idea for this game was instead of having a bunch of activities center them around "weeks" which would be a few events at once. Though I did do an activity in episode #2 and I might (not sure) do one in #5 and I think there's an activity set for #10ish (if we get that far) lol so I guess it's just not the week.
But there is at least one other "Week" coming up that I am equally as excited about as Future Week!
Ok so you guys probably don't care but I'll ramble here rather than my confessionals for a mini-audience haha. But when I came up for future week, I had a lot of really cool ideas in reserve I had wanted to use that I had that all was wrapped up in the theme of "future." for the record they were 2, 5, and 6. Once I saw all these cool ideas could be wrapped in one themed week I was really excited.
1) board images - the "welcome to future week" up top, and my profile/image changing, and the 'welcome to the future' post. that doesn't sound like it deserves it's own category! but it took awhile haha. after DC suggested maybe doing a future background I looked through the ones she showed me and looked for some others but I wasn't really satisfied. Plus it takes me ages and ages to find a background each season and I'm a perfectionist so I would want to find one that worked really well but it didn't seem worth the time.
2) something secret i'm very excited about. This is already in motion you may see hints of it soon!
3) challenges - I needed an episode 3 bonding challenge. it works best in rounds. (though it was so dumb to come up with 9 different challenges instead of one. dumbest idea ever lol.) with a future theme I thought it would be fun to be a team bonding challenge versus outsiders since I had never done that before. I had also never done 1 vs. A lot so that was fun to design too.
4) hauntings - this came out of the challenge idea. I liked it because it brought in past players which is always fun. it also (i hope) got a few people interested in watching the game that wouldn't have haha. I asked like 5 more people and all of them said they would do it and i sent them the directions but of course some people just don't follow through. i'm kinda glad though cause 6 was plenty.
5) time capsule - just posted this. had this idea for a bit and always wanted to use it but I kept not being able to fit it in. The thing with this is you need to start it early enough to have enough time for it to sit, but not too early cause then people don't have anything to put in it. So I hope this turns out great!
6) future vision - at the next exile I will show a collage of pictures i made that shows the future of spies development.
that's a lot! I don't think the other weeks have that much haha. but it was fun.
