[dyl]

Please post your suggestions for challenges and tasks in this thread.

tMP BOC Brother will get back to you! ;)

[2nd man down]

What kind of task etc? and how do you know the task has been performed? not sure i fully understand how this is gonna work.

[TheMusicMan]

Well... we will just have to make sure that any challenges related to doing something on tMP for all and sundry to see... ;)

We hve a few lined up but are looking for more. Come on. get into the spirit... get those suggestions coming in, it's only a bit of fun... :)

[NeilW]

Having to stay up (and then post a message) when the only person signed on to the board...

Neil.

Ha ha think i might leave the computer on over night, logged into tMP!

[NeilW]

Are people going to be allowed their instruments?

Should there be nominations on who ISN'T allowed?

(who needs luggage!)

Neil.

[BBCBass]

I think what ever the challenges end up being, they ought to be sent by a pm to the contestants and they ought not divulge them.

For instance, if a challenge was "create a post that will attract a response from at least one person from every ranking (Newbie, Senior Member, etc...)" or "create a post the that will attract a response from at least one person from 5 different countries"...it wouldn't be half as challenging if the tMP members new the challengers or the contestants said what they challenge wasin their post.

The "experts" will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure just being logged on wouldn't be enough for a user name to register right through the night; I think it depends on some sort of user activity over a period.

[Naomi McFadyen]

Yes that's right Peter...
It times out after 5 minutes I think... so if anyone wanted to do the 'leave pc on all night' thing, you'll need to do the Homer Simpson style birdy to keep on pushing the F5 button... (if you've seen the episode, you'll know what I'm on about! :lol: )

;-)

[Naomi McFadyen]

Dodgy Suggestions:

1) Get the housemates to find something on ebay to bid for...

... and if they win the bid they have to sell it on tmp.


2) Get the house mates to write a review of <whatever--enter title here> for the reviews thread.

3) They have to visit all the sites on the banners on tmp and if there are guestbooks sign them (post up urls of pages so we can see)

4) PM <enter amount-- so-many> tMP users and get replies... (then post the messages up so we can see what you and they put)

5) post something useful in each and every forum page in or under 30mins...(cut the time down if you think 30mins is too easy ;-))

6) Enter tMP composers comp

:bounce :dunno :terrier

[dyl]

Thanks Naomi! Any more? C'mon tMPers! Get eeeeeevil!

lol ive seen that one!! well funny! but the birdy kept pressing the Y button i think. also ur suggestions are funny! LOL it would be well funny if any of them were used!

[WhatSharp?]

Get Mr Payne to set an anagram quiz and give them a set amount of time for completion (or as many as they can)

Get them to post a photo of the most unsual place for a brass instrument
(clean only please!)

.....

HEY WHAT AM I SAYING!, COULD BE ME ON THE RECEIVING END OF THIS!

I already nominate WhatSharp for the first forfeit as he can't spell my surname right, despite the fact it's on my signature! :twisted: :lol:

Only joking, Mr B*ggers, Bruges, or whatever your name is! ;-)

[Dave Payn]

How about a 'forfeitee' writing lines, or something. Such as ''Write 'I love the Floral Dance'' 500 times!

OOOPs many many many apologies.... you'll make me suffer for that on the 12th I bet..... "OK how many Sop solos have we got?" :(

actually another challenge could be an on-line band!, armed with Roger Wilco or MSN with audio and a microphone! .......

[dyl]

That's a bit too easy Dave, especially when 'cut and paste' can be used! Plus I don't think BOC Brother would be too happy having to count each line to make sure that 500 were indeed posted! ;)

Damn! That's my plan rumbled...... ;-)

[satchmo shaz]

what about getting them to recruit X amount of new bona fide tMPers from brass band circles or even non brass banders :wink:

I like it! 8)

[satchmo shaz]

........or even promote tMP website on various musical sites or newspapers etc so we can see proof :wink:

Or secure a short sponsorship deal

or purchase something from the tMP shop :wink:

Not sure that would be a 'forfeit'! tMP is something I'm proud to be a part of. Only too keen top 'spread the word!! (Grovel, grovel..... ;-))

[Di B]

How about going to at least 5 different band websites to write something weird and wonderful on their guest books? Thinking of the sort of 'I think your site is great and I have the smelliest socks in banding' type of thing.... That way their is an historical recording of their task ;-))

Also, use band websites to hide around 10 small pictures, all the same (think of where's wally!!) and get them to trawl all the sites connected with TMP and report back where they are.

I think utilising band websites is a good idea generally......

Have friends and family post embarrassing photos/recordings/stories of them on a thread (Just like newspapers with BB)

They also shouldn't be allowed to PM/MSN anyone in the time - only post on the message board. The excpetions to this would be BB and other 'contestants' of course!

People up for 'eviction' should be able to do a weekly plea with members so we can laugh at their situation... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[kate_the_horn]

ooh good one di!!
i had a lil, idea on the lines of limerics!!

best one stays in, and band related obviously!!

[Morghoven]

How about a 'forfeitee' writing lines, or something. Such as ''Write 'I love the Floral Dance'' 500 times!

Or how about a short essay on "Why I love the Floral Dance"...less easy to cheat, more entertaining for the rest of us!

[Nigel Hall]

Or make them play The Floral Dance!!! Cruel or What!!!

[Dave Payn]

Or have the gall to ring Nicholas Kenyon, BBC Proms controller, demanding (and sounding absolutely serious) that the BBC Symphony Orchestra brass section should play Floral Dance at the Last Night, replacing the traditional Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 :twisted:

Oh I'd do that!!! They don't call me the office monkey for nothing!!! Where's the phone??!!?! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Bariman]

Or how about "Why Golden Slippers sounds better when played as a trombone solo rather than on a cornet" :D

[trombelle]

my clock sez it's 10:10.

i want to go and watch the real BB but dont want to miss finding out who made it into tMP BB!!!!

[stripybananas]

How about making all the housemates produce 5 (or more!) embarrassing pictures of themselves.....this would not only be entertaining for all of us, but might help them bond as a group within the house :wink:

[Accidental]

... and have the same photos put on their own band websites.

And for a near-impossible challenge, how about getting a piece of band music (that isn't the Padstow Lifeboat) played on Classic FM? :lol:

[NeilW]

The could devise forfits for each other :twisted:

Neil.

[Accidental]

How about some sort of spelling test? Maybe a multiple choice list of commonly misspelled words, and the housemates have to get a certain percentage right to pass?
Judging by the posting in the BB house, it should be easy to catch a few of them out! :lol:

[flugelgal]

Or they have to go for 24 hours (or longer) without making a single spelling error/grammatical error or typo!

:twisted:

[Accidental]

Writing lyrics to a well known band piece (I guess it should be the Floral Dance!) and the best one wins priveleges like being able to reset their avatar or signature?!

[kate_the_horn]

right i've had a great idea for a task!

Groovy,
2ndMandown,
HomicidalBunnyBoy,
Super_sop
Trombelle
Seedhouse
WhatSharp

each one of these housemates have to draw a picture of the other housemates in paint (the computer programme)

think what you want!!

ex housemate extrordinaire,
kelly xx

[BBCBass]

You could then take one of each of the pictures and make a quiz out of it. They would have to guess who is who :D

[stripybananas]

you could extend that and get them to guess who drew the pictures too!

[HBB]

Sounds quite cool!

[Seedhouse]

I like that actually! Go on BB! Will be a good laugh! :D

[Accidental]

Do you really think the Evil one is going to set a task you want to do?! Stupid boys! :roll:

[HBB]

As you say... maybe Big Brother'll feel sorry for Us and give us a fun task!

[PeterBale]

As you say... maybe Big Brother'll feel sorry for Us and give us a fun task!
It could be a reward when (sorry, "IF" :shock: ) you complete a task successfully :!: :wink: :twisted:

[Seedhouse]

Hopefully that'll happen before we're all evicted! :cry:

[HBB]

Have doubts. I'm expecting the next task (forfeit) to be: Spell your own names. We might (not 100% thought) pass that one :?
