Oh insted of /in how about

In to w/in

[Kcdaspot]

ummm.. maybe you should finish the games that you have run and stalled BEFORE trying again?

This game is to help find someone that will prevent any future games from being abadoned.

and if this gets abandoned?

Welcome to

The Apprentice

!

Sixteen of you have decided to test your strengths, and your weaknesses. Sixteen of you have decided to bare your souls for me to judge. Only one of you will come out of this competition as The Apprentice. Best of luck to everyone.

TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT

I have randomly assigned all of you into two teams. The teams are listed below. As a team, it is your responsibility to set-up a team room for each task (i.e., I suggest a quick topic so that you may collaborate). It is also your responsibility to select a Project Manager before each task begins. This must be made publically.

Your first task will begin Monday.

Have your Project Manager selected before 6:00 PM Est. on Monday, August 8.

The Project Manager will be responsible for coordinating the task and leading their team to victory during that particular task. In the event that your team loses, the Project Manager must select two other contestants from their team to drag into the board room. I will then decide which of the three of you to fire.

Also, it is your team's responsibility to come up with a team name. You may begin discussing your team name and I will announce a deadline shortly (most likely due Tuesday or Wednesday).

So what are the teams? Well, let's find out!

Team 1

• DonJosh
• animorpherv1
• kloud1516
• Mist7676
• Cybele
• JDGA
• ZazieR
• TornadoSwirl

Team 2

• QuilFord
• Tragedy
• cjdrum
• diginova
• kiwieagle
• TwistedSpoon
• Chevre
• Leonshade

[SleepyKrew]

Dammit I missed this.

[Leonshade]

Are we allowed to discuss our Project Manager choice privately via PM or QT? On that same token, are we allowed to make a QT for the tast of choosing a Project Manager?

[Quilford]

It seems I am fated never to be on a team with JDGA.

[Mist7676]

Weaknesses? What weaknesses??

[diginova]

Don't they normally get to see what the task is before electing Project Manager on the TV Apprentice, so it can be someone whose skills are suited for the job?

[animorpherv1]

What digi said.

[Blackberry]

I will provide the basics of the task as a hint, however, I believe an Apprentice should be versatile and be prepared for anything . Also, once the task starts, I believe the teams should know going-in who the PM is, and not waste time arguing over who should or shouldn't be the PM.

The First Task will involve, from most important to least important:

• Comprehension of the Fundamentals of a Mish Mash Game
• Game Mechanic Creation
• Writing Abilities

[Twistedspoon]

can we have an example task so we know what challenges may be like?

[Twistedspoon]

furthermore, at round 1, isn't it very likely that the project manager of the losing team is fires (assuming there are no lurkers/inactives)

[Blackberry]

Challenges may involve:

• Inventing a brand new Mish Mash game
• Developing the mechanics for a short challenge
• Writing an exciting storyline
• Providing your personal views on modding etiquette and Mish Mash games in general
• Creating an intriguing plot or theme

The answer to your second question is that it all depends on how the members of your team work together and the effort and skills of each of the members brought into the boardroom.

[Blackberry]

Are we allowed to discuss our Project Manager choice privately via PM or QT? On that same token, are we allowed to make a QT for the tast of choosing a Project Manager?

You are permitted to make any QT's you deem necessary. You are allowed to discuss anything with anyone, anytime, anyplace.

[diginova]

Berry... Decathlon?

[Tragedy]

Happy Scumday, Nova.

[diginova]

Thanks
Amazed it's been 4 years.

[Tragedy]

You guys better get in the QT and settle the stuff I've posted in it.
Might help us out in some way.

[Twistedspoon]

when do we see the challenge?

also, how do you guarantee that we will be co-modding "the ultimate mish-mash game?"
and isn't it more satisfying to be playing in "the ultimate mish-mash game"?

[Cybele]

and isn't it more satisfying to be playing in "the ultimate mish-mash game"?

This is a question to ask yourself before you join the game.

[Twistedspoon]

tbh, this could be the ultimate mish mash game. that's irony :p

[kloud1516]

Disclaimer: The winner does not necessarily get excluded from playing the future Mish Mash game and will have the option of playing instead if he or she wishes to do so.

[Cybele]

An hour and fifteen minutes until deadline. My team needs to get Project Manager votes in or I will announce one.
Thanks.
