LOL this is hilarious!

Rules that change by the minute.

Auditions open.... auditions closed... auditions open....

and whats the rule "You cant leave before the end of week one" how would that be enforced. In fact how would any of them be enforced?? Do people have no life that they will sit on here from 6:30-10:30 every night for 5 days??

I mean i commend your attempts at running an online game, and dont mean to knock it, but you have provided me with a good giggle tonight.

Hope it works out for you lol

How will you know that the contestants aren't talking to their family?

4th May to 11th May. Also, sorry if I keep changing the rules. I just want it to be as fair as possible, so people are free to walk. Also, this is a game to create your scenarios.

Good. Now I have 12 auditions.

Sorry, have been away from the forum for a few days, and have just caught up with this thread.

And seriously, DomesticGoddess, I don't know what you are on, but you can count me out. I do not wish to take part in this game any longer.

OK. Why is this? I'm fine. Actually, do you think I should cancel this?

If people start criticising my approach, I don't care.
DomesticGoddess

I doubt this programme will get good press though. I am under a lot of pressure now at home, so this is why I am quite hasty and change the schedules so much.

This is why:
1. Do not make contact with The Discussion Thread, including posting or viewing! Why?
2. You must post at least 30 times per day! I have no interest in posting thatmany times daily
3. You must be online between 6.30pm to 10.30pm! No chance of that happening as I do have a LIFE in the evenings
4. You are not allowed to make contact with your friends and family. Uhm... why not?
5. You must take part in all the tasks and challenges that are set! Sure, but under what conditions and will you keep changing the rules as you are constantly doing up until now.
7. Those 3 people will then face the public vote as to who will fire, and the person with the most votes gets fired! Can't see how that will work. How are you going to get people interested in voting on something they aren't really a part of.
8. If any of these rules are broken, a formal warning will be taken and if you get more than three strikes, you will be fired with immediate effect! ...and that's when the fun really dissappeared!!!!
9. You are not allowed to walk before the end of Week 1!
If a candidate walks, a replacement will come within 3 days!
Surely you can't decide wether or not someone can or can't walk.
DomesticGoddess

SORRY! Wo, I already changed the rules earlier too, because I myself thought it was ridiculous. But for everyone to just pound on me, and heavily criticise me just adds more pressure and makes me more frustrated making me not wanting to do this anymore.

he manages to do more than 30 posts because he keeps posting to himself, he should learn to edit his post rather than boost his post count
Miss Tenn

Out. Sorry. Exam pressure and all that.
The Body
23-04-2007
Full Name: Tom Nolan. (AKA The Body.)

Gender: Male.

Age: Showbiz age: 21. Real age: 15.

Skills: I'm persuasive, knowledgeable, streetwise and would be able to sell anything from a plank of wood to a house. I'm also an easy person to get along with, but have a sharp tongue when I get going.

Talent: Creativity, influence and a brain... Something of a rarity in this day and age.

Why You Should Be Hired: Because I'm independant, yet a team player. Because I'm cruel, yet kind. Because I'm a strong person, yet am an old softie when it's time to put my feet up. In three words, I'm 'The Apprentice'.

But I usually have to go on and off the computer, so I never get the chance to edit. Also, why would I increase my post count, plus I am a girl.
DomesticGoddess

OK. I have decided to get tougher, firmer and harsher, so that preparations for this series are good, so that for the next series, more of you will apply.
DomesticGoddess
23-04-2007
Here are the facts then:

Starts on Friday 4th May (9.00pm), and ends on Friday 11th May (10.30pm)
It will feature between 8 to 10 candidates for the 1 week course, with an extra candidate entering the house in the middle of the series
The Firing Rounds will be on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, with 1 person being fired on Sunday and Tuesday, and 2 people leaving on Thursday, leaving between 2 to 4 people on the last Friday, with you choosing who should win

So, please keep applying for this new tough series, and for those of you who applied but quit, I will prove you all wrong!

What is your problem? Just calm down, it is only an edit button!

Just lighten up dude, I am now back on track, so there is no need to be so hot and bothered. Besides, I will be put under pressure by producing it.

this sounds like the most ridiculous game ever

This thread, the Survivor Game thread, the 'battle' game thread', the 'unanimous' game thread (which surely couldn't have been initiated by the OP as that poster became banned... - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...ight=unanimous) and all threads relating to these games have kept me throughly entertained over the past week for an assortment of reasons, mostly pertaining to the OP.

My personal highlight was seeing a lone poster who desperately wanted to participate, and despite the OP's persistant call for more auditions, seemingly got rejected by the OP

Long may this unique brand of entertainment reign. The internet forum equivalent of watching Shahbaz on BB - not intended as an insult - DomesticGoddess, I salute you and your wacky games
