SR Big Brother
OK, here’s the pitch:
The top 10 posters from the last 30 days (RastaBillySkank, er-no, turbonutter, ssxpro, Your Honour, Goatboy, Bonus, Grix Thraves, Ice Blaster and Time_Warp) are each locked in soundproof booths for 10 days. All they have is an iMac and a super-quick leased-line Internet connection. The Internet connection will be set up so that they are only allowed to view a particular “Future of Gaming (Isolation)” forum. This will be viewable to other members 24/7, but they can’t post. Also, the post filter will be disabled after 21:00 until 9:00, and there will be a tracking system so we know who’s in what thread. The group will be fed daily, and they will have a budget. Each of them have a say in what gets bought, but everyone must have the same thing.
The group will have to spend their days on the special FOG, entertaining themselves with gaming conversation. Every day, the group will be set a task such as “Remember each other’s top 3 games for a test”, “A relevant post must be made in this topic every 5 minutes for 24 hours” and “Write an interactive story between yourselves featuring the top 100 posters of all time”. If they fail the tasks, each of their food rations will be cut for that day.
Every day, at 22:00, the FOGmates will be called into the Diary Thread, where they will nominate 2 people they want to leave the forum. This thread will be only viewable to the FOGmate and their post will be deleted before the next person comes in. Then from between 22:00 and 12:00 the other SR members vote for whom they want to be evicted. The evictee is announced to the FOGmates at 1:30, and the FOGmate that has been evicted has to leave in 5 minutes. Then, he/she/it becomes a normal member and is allowed no contact with the FOGmates.
The last person left in the FOG (Isolation) wins 5 Gameadays!
What do you think, Tony? Plausible?

Sorry. I couldn't be bothered to connect so I loaded the list out of my cache. It was a day or so out of date.
This is to the original message- what about me I'm in the top ten at number 9!

Hey Rasta. Go to "can games actually get better" forum. There is a post you might find quite interesting.
And we had to complete one level of Jet Set Willy, which basically meant walking off the border of the screen to the next level...
The reason Sniper's flannel was stolen, if I remember, was because FM had used up all the toilet paper.

Remember the last time someone looked at one of my posts....I didn't think anyone did. Go and have a look at my Shadowman 2 thing.
