GENTLEMEN! THIS IS A BUST!



Break it up! There's no time for games - this is seriouse bizness!

We've had enough of you all hiding in the shadows! You're all attractive, successful people, full of the vigor of life (and a few other foreign substances)! You know how to highlight your own best features - whether in startling colour or the oh-so-classy black and white!

Now it's time to take self preservation and promotion to the limit!




HERE IS YOUR BRIEF:

You need:

A snappy name (username/real name is fine)
A slogan
An image or logo of some kind
A short list (3-6 items) of "features" - do you come with optional extras? Do you kiss well? Use these and more to sell yourself!
Instructions on what the audience should be doing this round - such as "A Vote for ___ is a vote for more bad posts in the JCC!" or "Vote for ____ - he smells like doodoo!"


Create an ad for yourself, in any way (graphic, text or other) and send it to me, Managing Director Pulsies Finklestein!


The JCC will vote on your submission - the bottom two ads and therefore, their creators, will find themselves out of a job and out of this house!


The man with the winning plan will get:

CUSTOM TITLES







YOU HAVE 24HRS!

So be quick!

I mostly understand.

CUSTOM TITLES
Kindly clarify. Do you mean the winner will get a sole custom title, the choice of as many custom titles as they like over the period or multiple custom titles all at once?

Ouch. This is a topic I am most ill-equipped to do anything with. I'm not very good at this sort of thing.


Ouch, ouch.

Don't worry. I'm assuming that fancy Photoshop images and stuff will win the day here. I have absolutely no skill in that departmenr whatsoever.

I'm also not particularly gifted at bragging on myself so that could be somewhat of a problem in task such as this.

Well, this task is just MADE for me! tongue

But unfortunately I have to go offline for the rest of the day and will not be able to complete it. However, as I am putting myself up as an auto-nom anyway, it really don't matter!

I'll try and get one done when I get back on in the morning, just for funsies!

Laters,

Jay happy

I have to say, I believe I've been shafted in terms of the colours we've been assigned. tongue

So just to clarify, as I need to confirm it for my submission, the JCC will be voting for their favourite?

That's correct, yes?

Yes--that's your audience, you lucky guys, you. tongue

As for how many custom titles you get, that depends on how tight Pulsies is with any of the local managers, since neither of us has that magic power. (Off the top of my head, I can't think of a manager who would want to change someone's title every 15 minutes, but then, I haven't been on the MS long enough to collect blackmail material.)

Also, I wouldn't sweat it if you don't feel "artistic." Cribbing some image from Google and writing ridiculous stuff around it should work fine. That's basically 25% of YJCC right there. (The other 75% is cribbing some link from Youtube and writing ridiculous stuff around it.)

Something else. If Jay autonoms himself, then given the way this task works doesn't that mean he's gone? The JCC isn't voting from a 'pool' of losing 'adverts', they're voting on all the 'adverts'. Thus if Jay autonoms himself then the JCC have nothing to vote on, and he has to go. sad

So uh... is that right?

Er, well, I don't think it means Jay is automatically gone. If that was the case, I'd be next to abandon ship.

How doesn't it mean Jay is automatically gone? If Jay simply passes on the task as his own penance for what happened in the last task, what is there for the JCC to vote on? My understanding is that the two entries with the least votes will be evicted. If no entry is forthcoming from Jay (and even if there is, he wants a handicap) there's no other alternative than to evict him. His 'autonom' status means nothing in this scenario.

I know, Chris, I had noticed that. I just assumed it was the SEXPOTS being coy (I mean, Jay is nominated, isn't he?), and kind of expected JR to play along.

The point is there are no nominations. It's a straight vote on the entries.



This game is threatening to end in pure confusion.



EDIT: Maybe we could have the (presumably) three submissions (myself, you and Brian) voted on, and the two with the most votes made safe, and then the JCC can vote between th loser of that game and Jay for eviction?
