Win! Or! Die! (Signup thread, game show)

OOC: Ok, this RP is a game show. The rules are as follows: I will post a question, and the contestants have 5 minutes to read and find the answer to said question and post it. If you post a correct answer, you get to give one of the other contestants a point. When any contestant has 15 points, I will provide three options to the last person to give that contestant a point. The options vary from time to time, but they are all ways to kill the other contestant. Once chosen, the option will be enacted upon the looser and he will be removed from the show. Now, if you get a question wrong or don’t post within the time limit, you automatically give a point to yourself. Read the questions carefully, because you only have one shot to answer each. If, by some chance, your contestant is the last alive, he (and by extension, you, the country) will be given the $10 million prize! In addition to that, they will become eligible for the bonus round, in which difficult questions are asked of the remaining contestant, and he must answer in only three minutes. If they get even one question wrong, they are killed in a manner of my choosing. However, if they answer all 10 bonus questions correctly, they win $1 billion! There are only going to be five contestants on this show, and two places are already reserved for Mini Miehm and Khiraebana, so hurry and sign up!

Contestants:

Michael Fonda representing Willink
Frohos de Locos representing Piglatnia
Spiffy Mcspifface representing Jenrak
Fen'Ris Sco'Lar representing The Fallen Races
Timothy Smith representing DMG

Yes, five minute rounds. Sorry for the lag, I was on another site. So, Theao, since you posted first, do you want in or not? Otherwise ill sign The Fallen Races. Oh, and i forgot to mention that this RP should be started tomorrow and finish the same day.
Culomee
17-09-2005, 20:23
Damn, too late. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait to get killed until next episode ;)
Einhauser
17-09-2005, 20:25
Not nescessarily. If Mini miehm or Khiraebana fails to notify me of their participation before the RP starts, then ill fill in their spots from the list.
Theao
17-09-2005, 20:25
I'll pass, don't think I could keep up with the sched
Einhauser

But what if the ppl are on a different times, i would do it now, while ppl are on, or find a sutible time today or tomorrow.
Einhauser
17-09-2005, 20:32
I cant do it now, becuase I have to leave for an hour in about 20 minutes. Do you guys have MSn messenger? We could work this out on there faster. However, if you dont, we could still arange a time on here.

Na, i broke all my IM's, we could just arrange one here.
Einhauser
17-09-2005, 20:37
We could, we could. I am on the west coast of the USA, so my time is a bit different than others. I believe I am 4 hours behind the state of Maine, and 3 hours behind the rest fo the east coast. Id have to check a time zone map to find out.
Einhauser
17-09-2005, 20:40
Hey guys, I have to go. Be back in about an hour. While I'm gone please post your contestant and settle on a time. Ill check it all out when I return. Please note that today is a bad day for it (ive got a lot to do).

I can do that. Not today, but I can do it tomorrow. Let's see the other enterees opinions before making it final, though.
Einhauser
18-09-2005, 02:14
Ok, so is that time good for everyone? By the way, if Khiraebana or Mini Miehm dont show up, their spots will become open.

EDIT: MM, are you sure you want to submit a king as your contestant? He is liable to be killed, you know...

Well, one out of five isnt... good, but at least its not 0. We need at least three contestants, however.
Einhauser

Ok... what went wrong? Where is everyone? Did you guys get the times mixed up? Is my clock wrong?

I had school, so couldnt be helped.

I want this RP to succeed, as none of my others ever have. I'm going to blank the contestant sheet tomorrow. Then, I will ask for sign-ups once more. Once I get all 5 contestants, I will immediatly start the RP.

If you guys want to be in it still, you have until 5:00 my time (37 minutes after I post this) to reserve a spot. Jenrak, you can reserve as well, if someone doesnt retake their position.

I will be getting on at 10:30 AM Western Pacific time. To avoid further confusion, I will post a time table at the bottom of this post. Please look up your time zone and get on at the agreed upon time. If this time is no good for you, please post why, and i will see if I can change it.

10:30 AM Pacific time is equal to:

11:30 AM Mountain time is equal to:

12:30 PM Central time is equal to:

1:30 PM Eastern time.

If you live in England/ Western Europe, I'm guessing you are four hours ahead of me, and thus should get on at 2:30 PM.
DMG
20-09-2005, 00:25
I'll be in if I am not busy

Damnit, stupid timezones, i have school from 7:15 am to 2:35 PM eastern time.
Einhauser
20-09-2005, 00:28
I need to know whether you will be busy or not. For sure.

EDIT: Willink, I may be able to contort the schedual a bit. Im really loathe to start at 10:30, since i only get up at 10:00, so lets see what the other players are doing.

4:30 Pacific time

5:30 Mountain time

6:30 Central time

7:30 Eastern time

8:30 Western European time (???)

Work for everyone?

Dad always hates it when im on the pc, then kicks me off, so 9:45 after he goes to sleep, so much better for me, so dont be suprised if i get off randomly.

(sorry I didnt reply immediatly. I had to go launch a missile. Unfortunatly, it crashed in the ocean and the entire program had to be flushed. If you know what I mean, of course)

Well, how does this work for the rest of you:

6:45 Pacific

7:45 Mountain

8:45 Central

9:45 Eastern

10:45 Western European

Of course, the RP is liable to run 1 - 2 hours in length, so factor that in to your descision.
