With the current OTM contest, you need to make your characters walk off the road in a predictable fashion. So, I am starting this thread to offer hints and answer questions on how to do this. I will start with a broad guideline. If anyone has questions, post them here. You are more likely to get an answer during the second half of the week.
Why? This is what I am not submitting to OTM, since I got it to its current level during Halloween (my choice, it's eligible).
To start, you need a large section of land with no roads; and minimal concrete. They are still drawn to roads, so if you have a large section of road to close, they will go to it instead of walking your course.
As it stands now, the characters will follow a concrete path. So once you clear a section of land of roads and concrete, lay out a path. Then put the required buildings around it.
Determine how you will get characters to start of course.
And then start adding obstacles.
