I have a thought. Since we no longer have our magic rocks to give us quests, we have to come up with them ourselves. Take the number of iMG you have left and convert that into the number of slots of a to-do list. (If you have thousands of iMG, maybe divide by ten so you only have hundreds). Then, start filling in the slots with appropriate things to do: devise a "flaming bag of poo" consisting entirely of candy and give it to somebody, for instance. Be reasonable about it, and just create quests in sets of four or five. Your iMG score is just the point at which you can retire this behavior.

OK! I just spent the last half hour thinking about how to run it. I think there should be a forum where quests and rewards are evaluated, a spreadsheet, and a webpage that delivers up your next quest and suggests rewards. This would be extra cool as a mobile app, but I don't have the know how for that. And I think rewards should only take time and effort, not cost money: 5 iMG - make yourself a paper airplane and play with it for 15 minutes.

    The idea reminds me a little bit of Chore Wars (www.chorewars.com/), which I haven't used properly but which uses quest-type structure to motivate people to do housework. The chap who made it is a friend of friends. Hmm.
