PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Be the Amazing Racer - Season 8 Signup Thread" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-28-05 AT 08:15 PM (EST)Even though the first episode has already aired, it's not too late for another season of...Be the Amazing Racer! Maybe it's better this way; we now have SOMEthing of an idea who these people are. Feel free to jump in and play. There are 36 spots available (and I won't stop anyone from being one of the Black family). Search the Basher archives for examples of how this has been done before. RULES (shamelessly swiped and altered from Buckeyegirl): 1. Casting: Sign up for a Racer to speak for/represent (a sign up post is below). One spot per Racer. You may not be someone already taken or reserved. I will go by first come basis. I try to be fair and work it out if there is a problem (although, with 40 Racers, I'm not expecting any).2. Please post at least once a week/episode, at least until you've been eliminated, after that - optional, you may still add comments from Sequesterville. (You can even become one of the Black family, even though they're already out.) If you're gonna be out or you'd like to "Osten", just send me a PM. If you miss 2 weeks without notice, I will have to reassign the character. You can opt to switch characters once yours is eliminated, if that character is still open. 3. Sign the bottom of EVERY post you write with your Racer's name or picture. 40 people are difficult to keep track of. I will provide you with a pic, or if you are really a DAW, you could make your own or add it as an extension to your existing sigpic. 4. Speak as your Racer would speak, and speak for them. Share your Racer's inner thoughts about what happened in the episode, and what they think of the other Racers. Praise, tease or bash away. Be Funny. 5. Have fun, this is not for SERIOUS bashing. Also, be careful not to post any big spoilers (like who is going). Don't bash other players personally. 6. If your Racer gets eliminated, you are technically in Sequesterville. You then get the privilege of writing your own "final remarks", so PLEASE DO. You are encouraged to continue to post/comment, but remember that you are in Sequesterville. 7. If your Racer wins, you win...certainly NOT one million dollars! But you get bragging rights. 8. Anyone not signed up as a Racer is still invited to make comments about the Racers. Be clever. One poster once became Every Airline Ticket Agent In The World, while another posted as various foods. You can also be other locals and bystanders (but not *our* Bystander!), props, camerapeople, folks on the mat with Phil, or whatever. I'll start another thread for this week; jump in once you've signed up. If we don't get fully rolling until next week, that's cool; this is a little late. ETA: To help you keep track of all these DAWs, here's a link to the team bios.

LAST EDITED ON 09-29-05 AT 08:44 AM (EST)To be honest, I wondered whether it would work myself. I figgered, let's give it a shot, and if it falls flat, it does. But so far the response has been good. I'll let you know if I need hep with the sigs. I like your style better, and may adopt it henceforth. Someone has GOT to take Carissa Gaghan (now the youngest in the race).

Might want to log the URL in a safe place in case you forget. Have fun in the Week 1 thread! And Seana, I could use some hep with future sigs. I had to finish these on LC's puter; mine's having electrical problems.

Hiya, Tivo^3, and welcome to the boards! You learn product placement fast!All you have to do is hit "reply with quote" and you'll see a couple URLs toward the bottom. The first one is the one for your sig. Just make it the last line of what you post as your character! Might want to store the URL in a safe place so you have ready access to cut and paste it. BTW, there's no need to test post. If it shows up using the Preview button, it'll work for real. Here it is:
Also, hitting "reply with quote" without actually posting will show you how various other fun things are done.

Just took a break from the joke shop duties with my brother George and found this. Have been lurking for a while trying to figure out how you Muggles work this. Too bad my Dad and Harry are busy off dealing with Smape and He who must not be named. (Not Jonathon) I do hope I am doing the correct Muggle thing. So primitive you Muggles are. It would be so much easier to post with a spell. Anyway, I would like to try this. If possible, let me have either one of the crazy Weaver sisters or the Gahgan mother. Those Weavers are prime candidates for St. Mongo's.

I think Rachel Weaver's unforgettable dance performance gets the nod from me, if you don't mind! (Although being shown as a junior nutjob, she is kind of cute.) I don't Muggle for the camera. Much.
