Dailians!


July is coming to an end so it’s time to start thinking about your team for this August’s ‘Daily Challenge game.


Don’t worry if you haven’t played before. Just read the rules below and get posting. You might end up top of the Leaderboard with your first attempt! New players are always welcome.


It’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of 11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.


New players will need to pick a name for their team. Those of you who played in the ‘Daily Challenge last month can retain the same name or change it (if you think you’ve thought of something better.)


Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to 11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as Captain. This character will have their score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.


Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday ‘Daily to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.

The scoring system works as follows:-

+ 1 point per episode appearance

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.

+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.

+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 6 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

+ Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!


Your “Starting List” for August’s ‘Daily Challenge is as follows:-

• Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less. *

Those are you who would like some help with their team selection can find some hints:-

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/

and

http://www.itv.com/emmerdale/coming-up/



The deadline for teams to be submitted is: Monday 03 August at 7:00pm

Indeed! I think it won't be back until September.

So no more Kelly "Boom Boom! Chh Chh! Aaaaah!" Marie, for a while.

Alongside the main game is the Boys Versus Girls Team Challenge .


You do not need to do an extra “work” for this other than specify which gender you are if it is not already listed on your profile.


For the purposes of this game, each player will have just their Captain included in their relevant team.
If there is an imbalance in numbers the Captain of the team with the lower number gets to pick who makes up the deficit.


For example if there were 14 Girls playing and 10 Boys playing and SULLA was Boys Captain then he could pick whoever he likes to make up the 4 additional places in his team. These four additional "players" could be the same as his Captain, or, if he wanted to spread the risk he could pick a number of different characters.
Each team also has an appointed Team Captain.


Thanks to wuffles and Gulfie for Captaining the teams in July.

For August the Team Captains will be:- wuffles and Gulfie


Girls Team – Captained by: OsakaSun

Team Name – OsakaSun’s Outrageous Orators

and

Boys Team – Captained by: chrisdebag
Team Name – chrisdebag’s Charming Comedians


Remember, the Team Captains are both able to nominate one more character who will have their points doubled and added to the overall team score. This character can be anyone on the Starting List and does not have to be the character that the Team Captain has picked as Captain for their individual team.

"I'm a big fish in a small pond"
"You're not a big fish"
"I think I am"
"You're not a big fish Stuart...............you're not even a fish!"

So it's not all bad then.

Breaking news.

Finn is doing great in the test match.

Salve Jewelius and all you Emmerplebs.

Breaking news. Cricket is crap

Evening SULLA

Cheers for t'thread Gulfie

He was a brilliant contestant on The Apprentice in 2010.

Oooh, you've had a MILDSTONE!! Congrats star.

Ah. Never watched it. RIP Stuart.

When the hell did I have that? Thank you, Jaded

Evening all.

Greetings Earthlings

I'm hoping for Mr Wilks to bash Amos on the head a la HotRossBuns this evening, and for Ma Sugden to get the new front tyres fitted to her Land-Rover in this evenings double-bubble instalment

Am I the only person who doesn't know who he is? [/quote]

no, I haven't a clue either

Hi Everyone


Ugh, she changes her mind with the bloody weather

Congrats on your mildstone, star.

Hot Ross Buns would send you a similar message, but he is on his way to my place (I wish!!!).
