Boards Survivor II - Call for contestants

OFDM

Ok, I think I should be ready to fire up the second Survivor: boards.ie contest in about a week or so. But first we need contestants. Based on an idea that Gordon and PowerHouseDan came up with, I'm going to ask anyone who wants to be a contestant in the competition to volunteer in this thread.

There are two simple requirements that the contestants must fulfill:
1 - they must not have taken part in the previous competition
2 - their post count must have been at least 150 at 7:00pm Irish Summer Time on 4th June 2006 (this is to stop people spamming just to become a contestant)

You have until 11:00pm on Friday 7th of June to state your interest.

At least 7 and no more than 9 contestants will be required. If more than 9 volunteer, all entries will be placed on an independant polling system run by PowerHouseDan and boards.ie members will vote for who they want the 9 contestants to be. In such an event, canvassing will disqualify (in other words spamming people with PMs/emails looking for votes).

Note that the rules of Boards Survivor II can change at any time and no refund will be provided. The last remaining survivor will win a prize along the lines of something like a CD-WOW voucher (maybe the admins would like to donate a subscription perhaps?).

For anyone who didn't experience the first Survivor competition, check out this thread to get an idea of what it's about.

Where possible, a parallel immunity challenge will be available for non-contestants to amuse themselves with and to see what is required of the survivors. Spot prizes for these "public" challenges may be given if circumstances allow.

That's about it - to summarize, if you want to take part say so in this thread.

YeAh!

Meeeeeeeeeeee! if theres roooooom!!

Ruu_Old

As azezil pointed out I dont think some people have read the requirements, users having to have at least 150 posts. Not trying to be the bad guy or anything but rules are rules

R0ot

Sign me up baby, i think this will be one of those great events ever to happen, like the day the colosseum organiser in Rome decided to put the Christians and the Lions in the same venue

150 post count threshold?:p

monkeyfudge

I'm game.. Someone needs to represent monkeys the world over in the contest.

Basq

Sign me up too puhlease!

EDIT: Regarding the poll as there's definantly more than 9 people at this stage, isn't there's a bit of a catch-22 in that:

If it's private, people could vote for themselves (i guess it's only sacrificing one vote, but people who do the honest thing and don't vote for themselves could lose out based on that vote).

But if public, people in the poll will then be able to see who exactly voted for them and dismisses any anonymity the voter has.

monkeyfudge

It might make sense to have two public polls on here... and count numbers of votes in each one.

Stompbox

I'm in too.Wanna kick Carpos ass

OFDM

Alternative ideas on how to sort out the poll are welcome. If we uses PowerHouseDan's off site system there may be an argument of people voting multiple times for themselves. The multiple polls idea might be the best alternative so long as that's ok with the AH mods.

There's another 4 days to figure all this out in any case...

Dooom

Yeah sign me up aswell.

It's not like I have anything better to do.

Ozzy

I'm Spartacus!

I mean, i'll take part in this.

Dooom

Roffle.

Should I have said something witty? I probably should've..dammit.

Oh, why did the monkey fall out of the tree? It was dead.
Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? It was holding onto the first.
Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? It thought it was a game.
Why did the tree fall over? It thought it was a monkey.
And finally...

Why did the plain crash? Because the pilot was a loaf of bread.

That's gotta get me in...

PowerHouseDan

With Regards to the Voting.. It will be restricted to 1 vote per Person. This is done via IP addressing.

pbsuxok1znja4r

Haha if there's room I'm in

(yore ma)

For the voting thing you could just make a thread where people have to physically post who they're voting for? That's public, anyway.

Gordon

That's cool about the IP voting. As another option we can always put a number of poll threads in the Test forum, I'm sure the Admin wouldn't mind. Although the naming on thread of who people want to survive to the next round is a good call too.

Terry

throw my name in there.

with regards to the extra numbers, throw the names in a hat.

True, it was mentioned before to put all the names in a poll and pick from there... or was it put the latecomers in a poll? I dunno, i signed after the 9 so anything vaguely positive is good.

Stompbox

I think the names should be put in a hat otherwise it's a mere popularity contest.

Ruu_Old

Ah the game is afoot, this should be fun

PowerHouseDan

Or we could have a Vote on Weather.. a Public Vote. Pull out of a Hat. Of a Competiton and the first 9 to finish it first?Basicly like one of the rounds but a round to enter?
