Application

[KC]

Due to some problems with activity and things getting rushed in last season, I have decided to make this an application game.

Much like my Big Brother series, it will be using an anonymous codename system. To sign up, you must register using a 5-digit code. This will be how you're recognized until the casting process is over.

This application process will be tough. I'm encouraging you to make it even tougher. Show that you have a winning personality and answer each question as complete as possible. Keep in mind that you have plenty of time to send these in. There are no rewards for sending an application early. All questions are short, but that doesn't mean they all need a one sentence answer.

Please PM all applications to "admin".

Final Comments

- If there is anything else you want to say to help increase your chances, please do so.

F.A.Q.:

Don't the "personal" questions completely ruin the point of anonymity?
To an extent, but I won't really being paying attention to those. When I'm considering the cast, I'm only laying out the first four categories. The other ones are there for me to decide who each person will play and for me to get to know them a bit more.

When is the deadline?
I don't know yet. All I can tell you is that it'll be around when my Big Brother game is over (urtvate.proboards.com). It's about to be in it's final 7 so in a few weeks at the most. I will be posting here giving a week or two notice when the deadline is approaching.

Will there be a URTV fan club section in this game?
Probably not. Depends if enough people ask for it.

[KC]

Gonna give applications about a week. Once applications are closed on Thurday or Friday, I'll spend the weekend sorting out the applicants, constructing a cast wall, and choosing the cast.

[KC]

Alright applications will close tomorrow. Please send in any last minute applications you have in by tonight

Just want to make the note that all of them have been great! The response was awesome and sadly we do have more than 18 which means a few people will have to be cut. This is probably my least favorite part of the game since I hate turning people away anytime I do applications. But in any case, thanks for the interest.

[KC]

ALSO - if you wish to drop out please tell me immediately! We've already had a few and I would prefer if people who change their minds on playing would tell me before I reveal the cast so I can take care of it more effectively.

[KC]

Alright applications are now closed. Thanks to all who applied.

The staff and I will be going over the applications and picking a cast over the weekend. The game will start on Monday. This is going to be a tough decision! Good luck.
