[Nicky91]

and yes this is a game, all i need is some people who want to play as Judges (real life judges, dancers)
------------------------------------
https://tv.bt.com/images/strictly-come-dancing-logo-136431413962002601-181128095812.jpg
------------------------------------------

i've been working this through and through, also with pm's to Jake, only thing i can tease so far about celebrity cast is we both find it a great line up (8 men, 8 women celebs)

Host: Nicky91 (in charge of sending out songs/dances to the judges, putting up leaderboard week by week, posting performances)
Executive Producer: Strictly Jake (in charge of dance/music decisions week by week, guest artists each week)


Line Up:

Mark-Francis Vandelli&Oti Mabuse

John Boyega&Janette Manrara

Greyson Chance&Dianne Buswell

Dermot O'Leary&Karen Hauer

Luke Patience&Luba Mushtuk

Sol Campbell&Nadiya Bychkova

Tony Blair&Katya Jones

Ross Kemp&Amy Dowden

Maya Jama&Kai Widdrington

Jane McDonald&Gorka Marquez

Sheridan Smith&Johannes Radebe

Louise Pentland&Giovanni Pernice

Rebecca Adlington&Anton Du Beke

Charlene White&Graziano Di Prima

Kate Humble&Pasquale La Rocca

Leona Lewis&Aljaz Skorjanec

-------------------------------------
now the judges whom you can play as

''Lord of Dance'' Michael Flatley The Slim Reaper

Dame Darcey Bussell Kate

Alesha Dixon Denver

Derek Hough Morgan
--------------------------------------


i know i've tried doing these sort of games all by myself, but if there is one thing i have learned now is you can't play games by yourself, not these sort of games anyway


my inspiration for this comes from Strictly games section on Digitalspy forums btw, but i've also seen on there they also don't run them by themselves alone



My Role will be: announcing celebrities (who they are paired with) at launch show, announcing leaderboard each week, and also announcing results (a public vote will be happening via polls, lowest combined judge and public scores will be facing the dance offs where judges decide who stays and who goes)

Jake's Role will be: posting list of songs and dances (which me and Jake will be discussing through PM, and yes being impartial is a must, so each of our top 16 to give them all a fair chance at shining for our judges
.


so if anyone's interested to be one of these four judges?

begin date: two or three weeks after strictly tibb dancing final (just to give us a bit of relaxing time after that amazing show)




scores are sent to me via PM

Niamh said she was interested in being a judge, just drop her a PM

[Nicky91]

Nicky please take my name off this!! Apart from me saying the cast was good I have had absolutely no say in this so far and your now on your 2nd page. Im not interested

i pm'd you with the cast list, to ask for your opinion, you said it looked great so therefore i presumed you'd be happy to play this along with me

i cannot host anything by myself (never been good at that), i also know how much experience you got with hosting games now + you being a strictly superfan so i wanted to do this with you

your say in this will come, with music/dance choices week by week

[Strictly Jake]

[Kate!]

Yeah Nicky. Sorry about this but I'm out too. Xx

[Strictly Jake]

Hi Nicky. Sorry that I let you down like that I wasnt in a great place at the time. If you want me to play this I will. Do I get to pick the songs every week because I will enjoy that. Better if you choose themes too though then its a bit easier for me

[Nicky91]

Hi Nicky. Sorry that I let you down like that I wasnt in a great place at the time. If you want me to play this I will. Do I get to pick the songs every week because I will enjoy that. Better if you choose themes too though then its a bit easier for me

yes, thank you and we all had our ups and downs i guess :love:


yes i'll do the themes (basically a few standard themes such as Movie Week, Blackpool Week, but i will also revive ''around the world'' theme and i'll see what comes to mind more, maybe trio challenge from DWTS with one extra celeb/pro by choice)

[Strictly Jake]

When can we start. Also just as a suggestion ammi would make a fabulous judge on this

[Nicky91]

i asked Ammi back then, but no response from her so far


when to start, well when that last judge slot is filled

[Strictly Jake]

i asked Ammi back then, but no response from her so far


when to start, well when that last judge slot is filled

Have you tried parmnion or slim reaper? They might do it

[Nicky91]

i messaged Ammi again just now, she'll look into this thread she said

[Crimson Dynamo]

Have you tried parmnion or slim reaper? They might do it

:joker:

[Nicky91]

and we got 4 judges now

Slim has accepted to be a judge

[Ammi]

...you don’t need me now then, Nicky...you have Slim..?...

[Ammi]

...good luck with the game, Nicky ...and to the judges...:love:...

[Nicky91]

so Week 1, since we are with 16, i was thinking 8 latin dances, 8 ballroom dances

nicely evened out, and for week 2, those who do latin now, ballroom next and vice versa


i am sending the songs/dances to judges (my math skills well i also work with notepad where i fill in one score at a time for each couple and then i can do the maths adding them up, also handy when it comes to making leaderboard)

But I havent chosen the songs yet :shrug:

[Nicky91]

But I havent chosen the songs yet :shrug:

no worries, just saying first weeks i want all of them to have done one ballroom and one latin dance

which of those dances is up to you to decide, and also songs of course

[Nicky91]

sent the week 1 songs and dances now out to the judges :hee: nothing is anonymous in my game anyways

we use our imagination, more like what we think this performance could look like, so trying to picture the song to the dance, and also imagining how the celeb and pro would fare as a couple

[Beso]

i pm'd you with the cast list, to ask for your opinion, you said it looked great so therefore i presumed you'd be happy to play this along with me

i cannot host anything by myself (never been good at that), i also know how much experience you got with hosting games now + you being a strictly superfan so i wanted to do this with you

your say in this will come, with music/dance choices week by week




I will take over if needed

[Nicky91]

I will take over if needed

no longer needed Parm

[Nicky91]

bump, no one submitted their scores yet

[Nicky91]

sooo while we wait for scores being submitted, time for a bit of music, singing Control it is the talented Zoe Wees

UrGS_6_HglU

[Nicky91]

i edited the OP slightly with info, regarding scores sent over PM

[Nicky91]

since you play as judges, the way when i post the ''training vt'' and performances, your score is next to your judge character, and i myself will also have a task at first all scores next to each other using notepad, easier to calculate for me :laugh: also easier to summarize a leaderboard

no feedback in early weeks, but ofc those who want to say anything, can do so after all performances are posted on here

[Nicky91]

thank you for your scores Darcey (Kate)

[Nicky91]

and thank you Lord of Dance Flatley (Slim) also for your scores

[Nicky91]

now only two judges left to score Alesha (Denver) & Derek (Morgan)
