This September, Big Brother is turning evil. LIVEWIRE is coming back for its 2nd series on 19 September with 14 housemates. But, you know there's a twist coming... What's the twist? You'll find out then. But right now, here's game and application info. If you haven't seen LIVEWIRE 1, click here (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224844).

Game Info:
In September 2014, LIVEWIRE 2 will follow BBAU's current format. The game will be completely different because (twist hint) the first eviction will be on Day 3. Also, voting this time is Vote to SAVE and EVICT.

Application Info:
Please make a video application if you want to. Big Brother really wants some newbies for LIVEWIRE 2. So, I will be taking applications (text and/or video) from 28 August until 10 September at 9.00pm GMT. Have fun and carry on (that means apply)!

Format:
LIVE Nominations & LIVE Evictions
Nominations
All HMs will nominate on Days 4, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. They will use 5 points to use for nominations. 4 or 3 points = First Nomination; 1 or 2 points = Second Nomination. The 3 or more HMs with the most points will be up for possible eviction on Days 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 21.

FNL
All HMs will possibly earn the power to double their own nomination points and a nominations twist. Only 1 HM will be successful in earning the power called the...Nominations Super Power. The "Nominations Super Power" is when the winner of FNL will have 10 points to use in any which way (6, 7, 8, or 9 points = First Nomination; 4, 3, 2, or 1 point = Second Nomination). The holder of the Super Power can double the points of anyone's nominations and use the twist on anyone else's nominations. When a housemate is evicted, they will be able to choose the next holder of the "Nominations Super Power".

Evictions
You the members of TiBB will vote through PMs with your votes. The voting will be Vote to SAVE and EVICT. The person with the least SAVE votes or most EVICT votes after the percentages are merged will be evicted. I highly suggest saving your favourites and evicting your least favourites.

5:46 is very specific :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Having the applications open for 4 months is a bit excessive, lol.

[Josiah.]

I am opening applications now because it's better to have them open for almost 15 weeks instead of a week and a half.

[Jake.]

Or just open them a month before? :laugh:

[T*]

That eye looks very tired. Just like me, as my cat kept meowing in my room and woke me up.

[T*]

But it's a very good simplistic eye.

[Jarrod]

TiBB BB starts before this and even I haven't opened auditions yet... Wow.

[T*]

Its not even October yet.

[Josiah.]

Okay, only 1 so far.

[Josiah.]

Okay, since I only have 1 applicant so far; I'm delaying the opening of applications until November 1st.

[MTVN]

Ignore them Josiah, I need a good 4 months to ponder my application

[T*]

Okay, since I only have 1 applicant so far; I'm delaying the opening of applications until November 1st.

What's the hurry?

[Josiah.]

Okay, never mind about the applications delay.

[T*]

Surely just tease us and then open the apps in Jan?

[Jake.]

:joker:

Please make a video application if you want to. Big Brother really wants some newbies for LIVEWIRE 2. So, I will be taking applications (text and/or video) from now until January 7th (my birthday) at 5.46pm GMT.

[Ammi]

..great titles Josiah, except I can only see them because there's something wrong with my sound atm but I'll listen a bit later...keep up the good work as they say...

[Josiah.]

Okay, I still have 1 applicant for LIVEWIRE 2. Please apply because I really want LIVEWIRE 2 to be a really great series with 14+ housemates and... I will be doing more than just the nominations/eviction shows this time, I'll be doing a BBBM-type show called Xtra Chat (without the phone calls and texts).

[Kate!]

Give it time Josiah, I'm sure people will apply, it's early days.

[Josiah.]

What you are about to see under the spoiler in this post is stuff essential to LIVEWIRE. It also might get you to apply.

All HMs will nominate on Days 4, 7, 11, 13 (intruder eviction), 15, 17, 19, and 20. They will use 3 points to use for nominations. 4/3 points = First Nomination; 1/2 point = Second Nomination. The 3 or more HMs with the most points will be up for possible eviction on days 6, 9, 13, 17, 19, 21.

Nominations Super Power
Every evictee will choose one of their fellow housemates to receive the Nominations Super Power. The holder of the "Super Power" will be able to see the nominations tally board, have 10 nominations points to split (6/7/8/9 points = First Nomination; 4/3/2/1 points = Second Nomination), and double the points of another housemate's nominations. This will affect the outcome of nominations.

Evictions
You the members of TiBB will vote through PMs with your votes. The voting will be Vote to SAVE. The person with the least SAVE votes will be evicted. I highly suggest voting the boring housemates out. During the finale, you will be voting to WIN. The person with the most WIN votes will obviously win LIVEWIRE 2.

[Josiah.]

Okay, I know it sounds like I'm nagging (but I'm trying not to), but only 1 application for LIVEWIRE 2 is kinda heart-breaking. Time to go housemate-hunting. And remember, with your application; you CAN do it in video form if you want to (just follow the outline for the application, make the video and upload it to YouTube, then PM me your application video), I don't care which way you decide to do your application. But remember, applications close on my birthday (7 January) at 5.46pm.

[Vanessa]

Sounds good. I might apply for this. :hugesmile:

[Josiah.]

When the evictee(s) is/are being revealed, it will be done in video form (like what Marc and Ben do for The Mole).

[Josiah.]

...1 applicant, not cool people. I'm trying not to nag but, it's boring playing the waiting game while other games are running.

[Jake.]

You should have left applications closed till a reasonable time then lol

[Ramsay]

Tbf Josiah, there was always going be very little applicants when you open applications about 4 months before the actual game..should of starting accepting in january

[Josiah.]

tbh Josiah open them in January.

[Jarrod]

Let's be honest here okay? It's 16th October. The game doesn't even start until the start of February. Why the need for applications SO EARLY? It overshadows my need for applications for TiBB Big Brother which starts on 3rd November... No offence.

[T*]

Jarrod's right, all these new applications opening when ICB and TiBB BB are trying to start up successfully.

[Josiah.]

I have decided that applications will temporarily close now and open back up on 11 December.

[Josiah.]

Yes Sam, yes it does.

[Josiah.]

Applications for LIVEWIRE 2 re-open in 12 days (11 December)!

[Amy Jade]

I'm crap at games :(

[Vanessa]

Might do this. :)

[Josiah.]

So... who's wants to apply? If you want to, I suggest that you should probably follow the outline in the OP and send it into me.

[Josiah.]

I just wanted to point out that I have made some brand new tasks and some are recycled from LIVEWIRE 1. There ill be 7 tasks, and one task will include TiBB's most talked about dog... Piddles! Also, contribution points are back and this time there will be 2 sets of points; but why? Well, let's just say that the prize will not only have an award but... there will be a possible 1,000,000 points (with a twist) at stake as well.

[Josiah.]

Why is no one applying? Big Brother is getting infuriated at the sight of only 1 application.

[Josiah.]

1 applicant, 3 people invited; this is getting boring. I don't know if you all are ignoring LIVEWIRE 2 or it might be that its December and applications are open. I really want to make this a successful 2nd series of LIVEWIRE.

[Josiah.]

:idc: Well... I'm playing the waiting game and it is boring. I really want to see some BIG characters on TiBB play LIVEWIRE 2. Come on, applications only close on my birthday.

[Marcus.]

come on guys it was a very good game apply

[Vanessa]

Sorry. I've been busy all week. I will apply to this. I have to do some research first. I've never watched BB AUS. :hugesmile:

[Marcus.]

Sorry. I've been busy all week. I will apply to this. I have to do some research first. I've never watched BB AUS. :hugesmile:

[Vanessa]

ness nor did i
i just winged it and won

I need to find a BB AU housemate to write. :laugh:

[Marcus.]

I need to find a BB AU housemate to write. :laugh:

oh silly me
but you should do this it was fun ness

[Josiah.]

Okay... I really hope that I can get more people for LIVEWIRE 2. Also, housemates from LIVEWIRE 1 will be accepted.

[Josiah.]

Here's the current nominations table (in pre-series form).

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4616/5k3a.png

1: 5 housemates will be up for the first eviction of LIVEWIRE 2 on Day 3.
2: 2 intruders will face a special second eviction on Day 13.

But other than that, coming from me (the host) and Marcus (Series 1 winner); please apply for LIVEWIRE, its really fun!

[Vanessa]

Applied. :hugesmile:

[Josiah.]

2 applications; Very slow but steady. Keep them applications coming!

Also, LIVEWIRE 2 will be the first series of LIVEWIRE with females in the game! So, if you are a male or a female; a LIVEWIRE ex-housemate or not, please apply! All application details are in the OP.

[Josiah.]

Now that we are on Christmas break, please apply if you don't have anything else to do.

[Scream]

What is Livewire?

[Marcus.]

What is Livewire?

its a bit like bbusa

[Josiah.]

Scream, it is basically BBAU in forum game form.

[Josiah.]

I have had 2 applicants and I have invited multiple people to play. Who wants to do LIVEWIRE 2 in February? Also, get ready for possibly the meanest Big Brother that TiBB has seen.

[Josiah.]

Now that the holiday season is almost over, we can now get into CBB13 and LIVEWIRE mode. Please apply for LIVEWIRE 2. The wait is almost over. Time is running out for applications to stay open. Please look in the OP for application details and please apply. 14 housemates. 1 winner. YOU Decide!

[Josiah.]

Please apply, 2 applications at the moment isn't worth having the 2nd series of LIVEWIRE in February.

[Josiah.]

I am now accepting applications until 20 January at 9.30pm. So apply now and YOU might be a housemate in LIVEWIRE 2.

[Josiah.]

Time is ticking, so get your application in before Big Brother closes applications on 20 January at 9.00pm GMT (4.00pm US ET).

[Josiah.]

29 Days to go! Please apply, I'm getting bored of playing the waiting game. Also, if you want to apply; your best bet would be to look at LIVEWIRE 1 (the inaugural series) and/or BBAU (Series 1-7 and 9-10).

[Josiah.]

Here's the original BBAU theme song you can listen to while you apply. Also, there is not only an award at stake but... a possible 1,000,000 points.
HUUBR8qv_9o

[T*]

I would apply but I'm playing elimination :/

[Josiah.]

It looks like everyone is way too interested in CBB13 and other things that aren't LIVEWIRE 2. I guess LIVEWIRE 2 is going to be postponed until after CBB if people don't start applying soon.

[Josiah.]

People, please apply; I know that CBB is on; that means you don't have to completely ignore LIVEWIRE 2. I also want you to apply because this is a fun game, it really is. If you want to become the next Marcus, please send me an application.

[Josiah.]

:( Why is no one applying? Please do apply because this is a very fun game, just ask one of last year's LIVEWIRE housemates.

[Josiah.]

If I don't get more than 10-12 more applications by 12am, LIVEWIRE 2 will be postponed.

[Josiah.]

Head of Household/Power of Immunity and Food Competitions
HoH/PoI Competions
In LIVEWIRE's new format, the HoH will come into play. The HoH will have to nominate 1 of their own before everyone else nominates. Like in Alliance and Elimination (BBUS-format), the HoH gets their own special perks and priveliges. But, BB's being evil and not giving them their own bedroom. The competitions will be anywhere from quizzes to games in the TiBB arcade. The Power of Immunity is also at stake.

Food Competitions
The housemates will also have food competitions in order to get the food for each week. If they pass, everyone can eat what they want. If they fail, everyone will eat slop.

LIVE Nominations & LIVE Evictions
Nominations
All HMs will nominate on Days 4, 7, 11, 13 (intruder eviction), 15, 17, 19, and 20. They will nominate 1 person for eviction. The housemate with the most nominations (the Household's nomination) will be up against the HoH's nomination and/or the Twist's nomination. The 2-3 housemates nominated will be up for possible eviction on days 6, 9, 13, 17, 19, 21.

Power of Immunity
The Power of Immunity (PoI) will give housemates the power to save someone before nominations begin. They can choose their biggest ally, themselves, or the person that feels the most left out; It's their decision.

Evictions
You the members of TiBB will vote through PMs with your votes. The voting will be Vote to SAVE. The person with the least SAVE votes will be evicted. I highly suggest voting the boring housemates out. During the finale, you will be voting to WIN. The person with the most WIN votes will obviously win LIVEWIRE 2.

[Josiah.]

LIVEWIRE 2 will be postponed until BB15 starts. I'm sorry but I did it because of lack of applications.

[Vanessa]

LIVEWIRE 2 will be postponed until BB15 starts. I'm sorry but I did it because of lack of applications.

:hug:

[Josiah.]

I have decided that LIVEWIRE 2 will not be postponed until June. Applications will Re-Open on 30 January (the day after CBB13 ends) and close on 7 January at 9pm. We are also testing a new format, the Brazilian format to be exact.

[Josiah.]

APPLICATIONS have been re-opened for anyone who wants to apply. I will choose anyone, even if you get banned fairly often. Applications close on the 7th of February at 9pm.

[Josiah.]

[Josiah.]

Applications for LIVEWIRE 2 close in 3 days! Please apply before its too late, I'm tired of playing the waiting game.

[Jarrod]

If you're tired of playing 'the waiting game' don't do it at all. Being rude won't help...

[Josiah.]

Seeing as how I want to re-start this for next month; I will just let you take your time with the application process that starts at 9pm tonight and ends at 9pm on 7 March. No nagging or forcing this time. In the meantime, watch this voting graph test for LIVEWIRE 2's evictions.
ZIPZjaPBN7Y

[Josiah.]

I'm going to be giving my all to this like last year. I don't want this to flunk, so; please apply until 9pm on the 7th of March. All LIVEWIRE 2 housemates will be notified of their place in the house on 8 March 2014. By the way, the winner will receive this award: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/801/6a8h.png.
