LAN JAM
Thank you for applying to take part in this show. LAN JAM is a new video gaming show that will be on CiTV from the start of next year.
We need top gamers to take part in knockout rounds to win prizes. In each show there are 4 contestants who play games against each other. At the end of each game the worst player is knocked out until there is one winner left.
If you want to take part you need to be;
· 14 or under
· Free to come to the filming on one of the following dates, Thursday 14th November, Friday 15th November or Saturday 16th November. Thursday and Friday are school days so make sure you can take the day off. The filming will be in our studios in London and you must make your own way there.
· You will have to attend an audition to test your gaming skills at our office in London next week on either Tuesday 22nd October or Friday 25th October in the afternoon. Most schools are on half term so that should not be a problem. If you can’t make either of these days we might be able to arrange another time for you.
· We also need your parent’s permission for you to take part. Please leave your parents number below and should your application be successful we will call to arrange an audition. Or they can call us on 020 8969 1212 (ext 227 or 224) and ask to speak to Cheryl or Nicole.
If we haven’t called you by Monday 21st October, it is likely that you have been unsuccessful in your application – we only have a limited number of spaces!

Simple, eh?
> I'd do it but firstly I turned 16 about a month ago
Yeah, but it was excluding 15yr olds too, so you've already been barred for a year.
14yr old hardcore gamers...
*Starts snickering to himself*
LOL
> ye trying to say that isnae hardcore
Yes. Unlike you, who is just trying to successfully say anything. :P
Playing games from 3-14? Tis nothing, there are people about who were playing games before you were even conceieved, and continue to do so today. Plus there isn't a cat's chance in hell that you teeny boppers even come close to the might of the twenty-something (honest ;)) legion. ;)
To put that in layman's:
U IZ DOGMEAT COZ I IZ 1 MEEN MUVVA @ GAMING
'Nuff said? ;)
> Doubt it. I bet there is a 14 year old somewhere who could beat you at
> Xena Warrior Princess 64.
Blah... it'd take 15mins of my zen master ability to absorb knowledge, and I'd be rocking them all over the shop in my tight leather skirt, coz that's how excellent I am. ;)
