[Ammi]

…ooooooooo, mysterious and exciting…:flutter:…

[Josiah.]

I know! I just can't wait. More details on this teaser in the OP will most likely come tomorrow or Thursday.

A list of winners? What does this mean? Have you figured it out?

[Ammi]

….oh, those are all TiBB BB winners, aren’t they…?….a TiBB type reality game…?…you’re definitely building the anticipation, Josiah…:love:…very exciting…

[Ammi]

…oh I can see that it says TiBBBB at the bottom….duh…:laugh:…

Ammi figured it out! TiBB Big Brother is coming back for its twelfth series! After Jarrod tried to bring it back in 2020, I decided to give it a go since we haven't had a lot of forum games in a while, and I haven't run a true forum game in eleven years.

Applications open 1 August.

Oh fantastic Josiah.

[Josiah.]

:D

[Josiah.]

And in case you all forgot from the past series of TiBB BB, here's how it works:

[Ammi]

…you’ll be an excellent BB host, Josiah…:love:…I’m looking forward to seeing the tasks and how they unfold…

[Josiah.]

…you’ll be an excellent BB host, Josiah…:love:…I’m looking forward to seeing the tasks and how they unfold…

Thank you Ammi.

[Josiah.]

I even have the titles made for this too using the current version of the BB theme.

[Josiah.]

Bumping this so other people notice.

[Nicky91]

can you play this during the day? if so then i'm interested yes

[Vanessa]

I'd love to do this.

[Josiah.]

I'm excited for this. And hopefully, since it'll be close to BB21 by the time this starts, I'll get a good number of people to apply.

[Josiah.]

Applications were supposed to open I a week from now, but I've decided to open them a week early! Application details will be posted around 7am.

[Ammi]

…I don’t think that I can give the time to apply this summer, Josiah…but I wish you well in this and I’ll follow it as much as I’m able to…you’ll be stunning as a host …:love:…

[Josiah.]

Bump. Hopefully people other than you Ammi noticed.

[Kate!]

Bump. Hopefully people other than you Ammi noticed.

I'll be signing up Josiah. Don't worry, I'll encourage others to as well.

[Josiah.]

Thanks Kate.

[Cherie]

When will this start and finish Josiah? and will the tasks be hard...:worry:

[Josiah.]

It's going to be 18 days, starting on the 30th of August and run until 16 September. And tasks won't be too hard, seeing as how I'll be using some old TiBB BB tasks to kick things off.

[Josiah.]

And in prepping the series, I’m tweaking how contribution points are earned.

[Josiah.]

I have received 1 application so far!

[Barry.]

Sorry I would but I’m on holiday during some of the days this plays. Good luck though

[Josiah.]

Bump.

[Josiah.]

Another bump.

[Ammi]

…I’m so sorry that I can’t commit to this, Josiah….because I know that you’re going to do a terrific job in hosting…

[Benjamin]

Josiah, as a suggestion maybe it’s best to wait to open applications until nearer BB when more people are back?

[Vanessa]

Josiah, as a suggestion maybe it’s best to wait to open applications until nearer BB when more people are back?

Yes I agree. There will be the usual posters who come on season.

[Cherie]

Sorry but I will be on holiday for most of September so cannot commit to this Josiah, maybe a winter version when people are less busy

[Vanessa]

I have a lot in in September. Nephew coming one. Would consider it if it's after that?

[Josiah.]

Okay, I'll temporarily close applications until 1 September and delaying the start of the game until 18 September, that way the game will end the day before BB21 starts.

[Ammi]

…good plan, Josiah…:love:…I know how much thought and planning etc you’ll put into the game and I know how great you’ll host it …for it not to get your forum housemates because of holiday time/summer commitments etc would be such a shame…I recall on DS forum *cough*…they sometimes ran a forum BB at the same time as the TVSeries when the forum was busy and bustling with BB fans…?…and it attracted a lot of interest and was great fun so I definitely think that running it closer to BB time is good plan…

There’s an application if ever I saw one. ;)

[Ammi]

There’s an application if ever I saw one. ;)

…:laugh:…obviously Ben will bring the drama when he applies…I did do it once, actually…I’m trying to think which members are still here in the edition I went in…just Liam-, I think…MB won it that year…

[Josiah.]

Another bump.

[Barry.]

Is there a new start date?

[Josiah.]

The current one is 16 September, but I’m considering moving the start date to October to coincide with the start of BB21. That way there’s more people active.

[Barry.]

If that’s so then I’ll join too

[Kate!]

If that’s so then I’ll join too

Oh fantastic.

[Cherie]

If it is after 4th October I can join

[Josiah.]

One more launch move to October!

9 October is the finalised launch date!

Applications are now open until 30 September, plus we will all have time to watch the BB21 launch.

[Kate!]

How many applicants do you still need Josiah? Xx

[Josiah.]

At least 4 more, but it would be nice to have more than that.

[Kate!]

At least 4 more, but it would be nice to have more than that.

Oh, I thought you had 6 now, and you mentioned needing 8 previously?

[Josiah.]

Oh, I thought you had 6 now, and you mentioned needing 8 previously?

The number I mentioned of needing at least 4 more does not count people who have said yes but have not yet sent in an application.

[Kate!]

Oh I see.

Come on Barry. And Cherie. Xxxx

[Josiah.]

I am contemplating moving the game (in part) to the TiBB server on the purple place (the one with the icon that looks like a gaming controller with eyes) or to Facebook.

I would rather have a game be played somewhere where people will be nice to each other and not hateful and making fun of other people.

What purple place? :conf:

[Cherie]

I am not on TiBB FB and dont want to be, and I have no idea where the purple place is

[Kate!]

I am not on TiBB FB and dont want to be, and I have no idea where the purple place is

Yeah, we'll play it here. It'll be fine xx

[Vanessa]

I am not on TiBB FB and dont want to be, and I have no idea where the purple place is

It's discord :laugh:

[Ammi]

…’making fun’…?…is everything ok, Josiah…?…do you mean the fun and games/arcade section of the forum you were considering setting the game up on…?…or the TiBB BB subsection in chat and games…?…I assumed it would be there only because it’s always been a game that’s had multiple threads with the task and it’s big enough to work well in its own space….

[Josiah.]

Everything's okay Ammi. I'm not moving the game outside of the forum, although I did contemplate it.

[Ammi]

…ahhh, you’re ok…that’s the important thing…:hug:…and it’s a great plan to run the game with the series, I think you’ll get a good uptake for it…

[Josiah.]

Bump.

[Kate!]

Bump.

Have you got 6?

[Josiah.]

I’ve received 5 applications in my PM inbox.

[Josiah.]

Plus the two people who said they’d play but haven’t sent anything.

[Kate!]

Pm them?

[Josiah.]

I have now.

[Josiah.]

Bump

[Josiah.]

I have received 7 applications.

[Kate!]

I have received 7 applications.

Will that be enough?

[Josiah.]

It will be enough, but I hope I get at least 1 to 3 more people.

[Kate!]

It will be enough, but I hope I get at least 1 to 3 more people.

I asked 4, only one replied and couldn't do it sadly.

[Josiah.]

Applications are open for 10 more days, but I'm thinking of closing applications early if the 7 applications I have received are the only ones.

Which also reminds me, to the mods, I do not have the ability to post in the TiBB Big Brother subforum.

[Josiah.]

https://*************/images/2024/07/15/Veggie_Brother_12_Eye.png

Applications are now officially closed. See you on 9 October for the live launch!

Option #3: 5th to 26th October (22 days) - a mix of current dates and Kate's suggestion

[Josiah.]

And if anyone wants to apply as a late entrant after the series starts, let me know via PM.

Oh. I'm mystified then.

[Barry.]

I don’t mind

[Josiah.]

I'll keep the length at 18 days, but move the launch up to the 5th.
