For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Wait... they already did this? :o

Oh well. We just need a couple more people to sign up, and then we can get started. Remember, after we get the original 12, I'll start a waiting list in case people need to get substituted out.

Also, in the show, a lot of the challenges were physically intensive. Since we can't do that here, I'm going to have a hard time thinking of original challenges to do for this, so if anyone has any ideas, that would be cool. I've already got the first few planned out, but if you have suggestions, send them my way.


Thanks, Kuge, I'm flattered. :P

Yeah, that's what I said in my post. :) Like Kugetsu said, I ran it about two years ago. All the threads are still there, so you can peruse them if you want to for ideas, but keep in mind both Kugetsu and I remember the challenges. ;) I don't suggest doing real-time challenges, it was a humongous pain and it often resulted in having to delay a challenge.

I thought about that for a second, and realized it would be impossible because people live in different time zones and can't get on at the same time. Also, I don't even know when I'll be on, so it would be a huge logistical problem.

My character sweats too, especially in high temperatures. :D

Start the game already! I can't wait!

I think we have just about enough people to start the game, but I'm going to wait until later tonight. BTW, I'm going to be gone for the majority of the weekend, so if I'm not responding to your PMs or anything, that's why. If you can catch me before Friday afternoon, I can probably reply. The first challenge will start the Sunday I get back (in three days).

THE COMPETITION HAS BEGUN!!!

You should all have received a PM with more details about what you have to do. I decided to go ahead and release the first challenge now, to give everyone ample time to complete it.

CHALLENGE 1: Team Icebreakers!

In this challenge, which is comparatively really easy, you will have to complete three tasks:

A. Find your team
B. Think of a team name
C. Create a team logo

Part A: Find your team. For the first part, you will not be allowed to PM each other. (I know there's no way I can enforce this; you're on your honor system). Just by posting here, try to figure out who's on your team by asking questions. Here's the catch: Every post must be a question or an answer to a previously asked question, and you may not use the words "Red" or "Blue", or any word that has those letters in a row in it. Every time you do, you wil lose points from the pot. The team that uses the least posts to figure it out will win this part of the competition, and contribute 5000-(100 for each post) to the pot. The competition will end when a member of a team posts a list of everyone in their team. They can post normally again, but the other team still needs to finish.

Part B: Think of a team name. The names "Red" and "Blue" are so boring. This is completely subjective, and you can use PMs. Try to think of the most interesting name possible. The best one, between both teams, will get a certain amount of NP credited to the pot. It won't be much, because this is really easy.

Part C: Make a team logo. When I say "logo," I mean a cool team graphic. It should be no larger than 400x400 px, and should feature every member of the team. After the graphic has been designed, the team will decide who did the majority of the work on the graphic, and they will win a very special prize.

The pot currently stands at: 25000 NP

Get to work!

I aim to have this challenge finished by about next Monday or Tuesday. I won't be here over the weekend, so I'd like to have parts A&B done by tomorrow afternoon. Be sure to pay attention to what happens, because I certainly will when I write the quiz :evil:

First Post! I must be the mole! :P

Who's on my team?

Edit to MC: Might I suggest a player list?

:lol: Well, an interesting start to the game..... I'm sorry to have to do this, but.....
