TiBB does The Apprentice 3

Task 2

MASCOT.


Most Sports Teams have a Mascot of some description which they use on merchandise and often have someone actually dress up in costume as the character, to appeal to the fans and serve as a money spinner for the club.

Examples

Your task is to choose a British sporting team, can be football, rugby, whatever you like, and design a mascot for that team, along with 4 items of merchandise featuring the character, to be sold as souvenirs, or keepsakes, or even items of clothing, headgear etc. Try and be original :)

For this task you may enlist help from ONE forum member who isn't involved in the game, but all ideas must be seen to come from yourselves, and this person may not suggest items of merchandise, only helping with translating your ideas into actual designs. Therefore it may be a good idea to again appoint a Team leader should you choose to take up this option (you don't have to if someone on your team wants to design btw) and that Team leader can liaise with the helper, as they won't be able to access your team room obviously.

You must credit this person in your team room and we may consult with them as to how much help they gave you - yes, we are meanies, deal with it :D

Task deadline is Midnight tomorrow, giving you well over 24 hours. Results will be at 5pm on Wednesday. Have fun.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

A great task. I'll try my best, Kate. :hugesmile:

[Brother Leon]

Should make them design it themselves Kate. :)

[In the Drunk Tank]

So it's a currently existing team we choose?

[Holly Christmas]

So it's a currently existing team we choose?

yep. :)

[Holly Christmas]

Should make them design it themselves Kate. :)

They may well choose to do so. We shall see.

Oh, and teams....this task will be judged by the panel of five*, we will all assess you fairly and impartially and decide between us the winning team, and who gets fired from each team.

*Kate/Mollie/ShuGrr/LemonJam/Marc

Make sure all your team mates are aware of this, post it in the your rooms if you wish.

[Locke.]

Rangers

What team is that, Locke? An american football one? :)

Poor Rangers, looks like the general public don't even know they exist anymore

[Apple202]

They may well choose to do so. We shall see.

So no nominations this task?

[Holly Christmas]

Yes you will nominate. We will make our decision from the results of the noms. Ukturtle and DrunkerThanMoses will be immune.

[Munchkins]

Hmmm think prospect is doing ok so far, fun task i think

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yes you will nominate. We will make our decision from the results of the noms. Ukturtle and DrunkerThanMoses will be immune.

Do we nominate members of opposite teams or the same team, Kate? :conf:

[Jamie585]

How do we design it? Draw it? then post a pic? :conf:

[Locke.]

Yeah your team should do it

[Shaun]

Kate for the deciding who wins part of it, are we going to do this by PM or are we getting a subforum? Because PMs between five of us could take a while and clog up our inboxes :laugh:

[The Human Santapede]

-high fives DTM for being immune-

[Holly Christmas]

Update.

All team members will, after the task, nominate the two members of their own team who in their opinion contributed least to the task. The two from each team with the most votes will face the panel. Each judge will pm me their decision and a brief reason. I deliberately chose an odd number of judges so there will never be a tiebreak situation. Sir ShuGrr will make the You're Fired Announcement. I'll then post the panels individual decisions and brief reasons. If you are fired, please try to be available for the You're Fired spinoff show, so JH can chat to you. Ty.

[Holly Christmas]

....more.

You will nominate by pm-ing me. If you fail to nominate by the deadline, one vote will automatically go to yourself.

[Locke.]

Kate can you get in our subforum and confirm something for us please

[Holly Christmas]

Really sorry Locke, only just saw this. I'll go in now. Pm me or write on my wall guys if you need me, I will definitely see that quicker.

[Jamie585]

Just to clarify, Are we making the 4 Merchandise or just saying our 4 ideas, and explaining them? :p

[Holly Christmas]

More credit will be given for making them. Do what you can in the timeframe. So long as I see the mascot.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]
