now what?

[Nicky91]

so i have downloaded my poster


now what?

Just cut out the couples' names at the bottom of the poster, pop them in a bowl and let all your Strictly mad mates, colleagues or relatives pick one at random (no peeking now!). Plot their names against the couple they select and find out who's the lucky holder of the winning couple when we reach the Final.

this is what you need to do in this game

[Crimson Dynamo]

I dont have any Strictly mad mates, colleagues or relatives (apart from my mum who watches)

[Nicky91]

bump

[Nicky91]

lack of interest this game is cancelled :skull:

[Twosugars]

Nicky :fist:

thought you were going to populate it with people off Strictly threads
Jeez, can you stick at anything? :facepalm:

[Nicky91]

i know TS2, i wanted to play this but there wasn't much interest for this :(

[Nicky91]

done, come on people i am really desperate at wanting to play this

[Nicky91]

bump

[Nicky91]

number 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 12 are still available, and if there are more than these in the sweepstake, there can be 2 people then in each sweepstake

[Morgan.]

8

[Nicky91]

added you Morgan

[Twosugars]

i know TS2, i wanted to play this but there wasn't much interest for this :(
that's not surprising, you only launched it yesterday
normally sweepstakes are started WEEKS in advance so people have time to take part, and even then Cald has to populate them himself sometimes
I think you will be lucky if you get half the numbers taken so quick so be prepared to populate them yourself
we'll see how it looks in few hours

[AnnieK]

I'll take number 7 please Nicky x

[Nicky91]

added and Lucas (Black Dagger) requested 12 to me over PM

[Jase.]

#02 plz

[Nicky91]

added you Jase

[Twosugars]

going well, five numbers left
Nicky, have you made a list of people to add?

[Nicky91]

let's see i still will wait if Monty, Adam are interested i had also sent them a link to this sweepstake

but for the remaining 3 places idk :shrug:

[Twosugars]

did you go thru Strictly threads and gathered the names of people who posted there?
whoever doesnt' apply themselves add to the list and populate the numbers, simples

[Mitchell]

Ten from len

[Nicky91]

added, four more places up for grabs now

[AnnieK]

Am sure Vanessa will want one

[Nicky91]

i will add her then, and i do know she is a huge strictly fan

[JerseyWins]

#5

[Nicky91]

2 places left now 1 & 11

[Nicky91]

due to strictly beginning in 15 minutes i have filled in the remaining 2 spots, with some i knew who are happy to play a sweepstake game i guess

and i have revealed your sweepstake contestants

[Morgan.]

How convenient that LT and Adam got their favourite dancers :laugh:

Are sweepstakes not usually decided by the first night running order?

[Nicky91]

more on random order by me, they picked a number blind, or tbh i filled Adam in myself, cause i know he is a strictly regular, and Mont well i asked him and he was ok with it playing this

Yes Nicky but sweepstakes are meant to completely random - so the organiser picking who gets each celebrity introduces bias.

Normally, to leave out any bias, the celebrities are assigned in performance order, or reveal order. So the Member who Picks celebrity 1 gets the first celebrity that performs on the night.

Either that or a trusted randomiser, but then we would have to take the Hosts word for it.

The other option is Members pick their own celebrity to have in the sweepstake, but that can sometimes ruin the surprise element and also cause some to have no supporters, and some to have lots.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh no you gave me my least favourite. Although he has potential

I have a crap one

[Twosugars]

NOT vick & graziano
Oop not into Italian stallions?
swap with Vanessa, she loves him :)

[Nicky91]

swapped some of the sweepstakes around, as some weren't happy with their choices, and some i didn't play fair with, and gave them their fave who they wanted

beginner mistakes from me :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

then the whole game is now corrupt and has failed

its called a sweepstake for a reason


:umm2:

[Denver]

I stay winning evidently

[Twosugars]

What's done is done, it should be random allocation but let's make it work anyway. But you'll have to stop fiddling with it Nicky.
If LT doesn't like it he can withdraw :fc:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I withdraw

[Nicky91]

i don't need any other replacements, i will replace LT myself with his sweepstake 13 spot

easy solution to a tiny problem i guess

[Twosugars]

LT ended :hehe:

[Nicky91]

i replaced LT (temporarily) if anyone else wants to play, spot 13 is still open

[Crimson Dynamo]

i wont be part of a game where the host has no respect for the real judges

i have standards and am a proper fan

[Nicky91]
