1) Bubbles: A new kind of confetti, not unlike the bubbles from a poison vial impact.

2) a Scythe: a new look for the Rocket Hammer. I realize you'd have to buy the expansion, but the idea of a scythe seems to fit with the movements and sprite already there for the Rocket Hammer. Sort of like the scissor blades were a new Leviathan Blade.
- maybe obtainable as a trade in mission reward for a Rocket Hammer?

*any suggestions on a better way to acquire the scythe are truly welcome.

What?... Scythes? Spiral Farmers?

First, look at this:

(And a better view of the bottom of the handle:)

Then look at this:

That's where I've always assumed they took their design from... Or well... That, and the katana. Possibly with some fishing rod mixed in there.
(Wonder what the designers were on while designing that... Thing... I mean, fishing-rod-katana-scythe?)

Why do people keep asking for scythe weapons?

Does anyone even know how they work in combat?

Imagine a polearm with a relatively small sword perpendicularly attached at one end. All the disadvantages of not having full mobility of a polearm combined with the disadvantages of not having the sword hilt in your hand for full mobility. It can be easily parried, blocked, and countered even with bare hands.

Besides, if scythes were to be shoddily implemented, it would be far more likely to be a Troika reskin. With lower damage. And lower knockback. And lower interruption. And almost no damage unless the sickle blade hits them.

Do you even know what a scythe is? It's a tool for harvesting grain. You might as well ask OOO to implement a lawn mower weapon.

I always believe the small things have the best chance of implementation...

These are definitely small things, a aura that basically uses the poison animation (team mates might think you are poisoned though), and a reskin of a weapon.

Luguiru does make a good point (like always) that it would make more sense as a troika reskin, it's a bit hard to imagine an exploding scythe that automagically causes you to lunge forward...

Also, off topic, around Novemberish I stopped playing SK, but now I have recently came back at the beginning of this August. On numerous occasions I have seen you in LD and Haven. (yes I fail terribly at LD...) But here's the kicker........I used to be your friend! I can definitely understand if you clean your list of people who quit, but just letting you know, I am playing again. (not on week days that much, I still have school) If you can remember my brother Korzo, he actually is not playing and will likely never play again, due to the "TF2 disease".

The cool part is that if I give him scrap in TF2, he will give me equivalent SK stuffs! Including the Medieval War Helm he got!

Nice "seeing" you Zave!
