Well I am most certainly applying ofc. :love:

I have applied ;) x

Could you post what the competition is about please?

how does this game work kate?

Game Outline to be posted in the next half hour guys. It'll only be a basic outline, we aren't giving too much away at this stage.

Game Outline.

You are playing to be hired for the following job.

"TiBB Public Relations Officer"

Brief Job Description

For the purposes of the game*, the successful candidate would work alongside the Mod Team and Admin to promote, develop and improve upon the wondrous creation that is TiBB.

You would work on advertising campaigns to both promote the forum and attract Advertisers to the site to bring in revenue (income). You would work as a team to to come up with fresh new ideas and implement necessary changes.

Role requirements.

Versatile, able to work equally well as part of a team, and on own initiative.
Imaginative and creative.
Disciplined, well organised and hardworking.
Ability to get along with people and persuade them to do what you want. :D

The tasks set during the game will test all of the above requirements in various ways. Give them your all, we will be watching.....

There will be mostly team tasks, although if you get to the final, you're on your own Heheh.

More on the format to follow.

Keep checking the thread :)

* Disclaimer: This is not a real job, it's purely fictional. :p

More Info.

There will be a judging panel for tasks. Further info on that at a later date.

You will be playing in two teams. The first four tasks will result in a double elimination, one candidate from each team will be fired. This is to keep team numbers equal. After this teams will merge into one for the rest of the game, and eliminations will be singles.

The Eliminations

More details on how exactly the Eliminations are decided will be revealed in due course.....

Team Rooms

Your team will have a private room (like in the pub quiz) where you can confer and work together. Pay attention to who doesn't pull their weight, the panel will take your opinions into consideration when deciding who to fire!

You will choose a name for your own team amongst yourselves. Either Mollie or myself will have access to your team room, so we can observe you and report back to the rest of the panel.

The panel will comprise 5 people, including myself and Mollie, going with an odd number so there will not be any tiebreaks to resolve :hugesmile:

The Final.
The candidates that make the final will be subject to a gruelling interview. :devil:
Spin Off Show.

There will be a spin off show "You're Fired" hosted by Jarroddaniel1. All fired contestants will be interviewed in this show.

I think I've covered everything, but feel free to fire (:D) away with any questions below and I'll reply when I can.

Get Applying.

Please Note. Submitting an application does not guarantee you a place in the game. We need the cream of the crop for this, and if we think you are someone who won't put enough effort in you may not make the cut, sorry.

All applications to be sent to both myself AND Mollie please.

Come on, get these apps in by the truckload.

Only watched one series and that was the one with the great Dennis Rodman on, I'd like to think I'd be almost as great as him on it

Received some more applications last night.

One of them is going to be a right handful I foresee :laugh:

We may have a couple of further questions for some of the applicants. :D

What would this involve me doing..

I've posted an outline of the game ^ above, Marc, have a read there's a good chap :p

Bump

More applications esp from females would be good.

oh crud, I didnt send mine to Mollie aswell :(

its ok i just done it

This should be good, shall follow it :D

how long does it last?

Two to three weeks Fruity. :)

I've applied. :D

:cat: not many spaces left now, last few slots need filling, get them in quick and don't miss out.

Lucas, get your app in :idc:

still a couple of slots to fill people, chop chop :D

looking forward to this! :)

Don't understand where we send our application?

Apply by private messaging me and/or Mollie :)

Only one slot left....

also the Judging Panel has been finalised, and will be revealed on launch night. Date to be confirmed soon.

(there will also be an element of contestant nominations, more on that later also)

come on Tibbers....one more.

Also, we are looking for someone to be the official TiBB does the Apprentice Bookmaker and have a betting thread running alongside the game, just an extra talking point that we thought would be good fun :)

Anyone want to do this, give myself or Mollie a shout asap please. You must be reliable and able to post regularly and keep the thread updated etc etc. thanks.

(we did headhunt someone for this position, but they never bothered replying which is a tiny bit rude, but hey ho!)

Pleased to announce that not only are Applications now closed, we have a grand total of 16 players signed up for the game, as 3 lovely applications "flooded" in today - marvellous :D

Also, we have secured the services of a very prestigious bookie to run a betting odds thread alongside the game. Spiffing stuff.

Pumped for this! :)

Just sent my application! :dance:

:joker:

Have you applied Roy? :bigsmile:

yea

This is going to be fun! Can't wait! :hugesmile:
