EEVILMURRAY Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) BATTLE OF THE GAME/QUIZ SHOWS. Legends have given us a wealth of inventive programmes which the nation has fallen in love with. But times are growing, many shows become dated, are remixed without notice and with disastrous results... The TV Channels convened. The room was massive but only a few lights illuminated key areas. It began with a random squabble over a new idea for a game show which involved piranhas and chronic diarrhoea, with a few questions thrown in for fun. For charity. “This is horseshit!” said the ITV chairman. “Fuck your formula!” replied the chairlady of Five. “Hey, both of you, shut it!” snapped the chairman of Channel 4. The leaders of BBC and Sky were busy making tea and talking about clams. After tea was served everyone calmed down and sat at the table in the middle of the room. “Alright” started the head of BBC, “Who brought us here?” “You should know why you’re here.” Spoke a woman from the shadows. She stepped forward and revealed herself to stop the leaders squinting into the darkness, it looked silly. She was dressed in a simple red suit, rather classy looking. “Your quiz and game shows, or whatever you want to call them have become stale. We need to shake things up. We’re going to pit them against each other and see which comes out strongest. Kill the host and the show will inevitably follow.” “Bullshit!” said the BBC, “Kill any host and I’ll get Graham Norton to rehost it in a flash” “Oh?” said the woman in red, she pointed to the wall behind them. The leaders turned around and were horrified by the scene that was suddenly lit up. Graham Norton was strapped to a guillotine. “Please...” he begged “I won’t do Eurovision anymore!” “Too late.” Said the woman. The blade fell and Norton was no more. BBC stood up and was about to open his mouth but the woman in red held up a hand. “Please don’t mention Bruce Forsyth, I really don’t want to kill him. I really loved Play Your Cards Right.” BBC sank back into his chair. “Now, I hope we see the futility of naming potential hosts. I’ve got them all lined up. Say a name, Dale Winton? Keith Chegwin? They’re here. Go on, mention Ant and Dec. I dare you” Eyes moved to ITV who put his head in his hands and started sobbing. The woman in red continued: “This isn’t a show you’re ruining for celebrities and for charity. This is good old fashioned fun for all the family. With murder. Gotta give it an edge” she winked at everyone. Silence followed. “What happens when the host dies?” asked Five. “Simple! You never make the show again. Ever.” Outrage broke out. “C’maahn don’t bullshit me!” “What if we did everything backwards?” “If Big Break was changed from snooker to pool would that be OK?” The woman in red just sat and waited for the complaints to die down. “Here’s a forfeit for you. If the show does not die with the host. You die instead.” There was no sound except the inaudible sound of cogs turning in the leaders’ heads... They could easily make a different show right? Losing Bargain Hunt wasn’t worth risking my life anyway, Wannacott was a twat... Better milk a few repeats of Midsomer Murders to stretch out the idea monkeys to think of something vaguely fresh... That diarrhoea idea is starting to sound very lucrative... “Capital! I consider your silence an acceptance. Inform your hosts. Many of them will die.” WHO WILL SURVIVE? RULES Dead hosts tell no tales. One post for vented aggravation is allowed after being lynched/murdered) Days – roughly 48 hours. Will be extended if max discussion is happening. Can be cut shorter if there is minimal activity, but you will be warned if this is likely to happen. Or when majority is reached. Nights – 24 hours, depening on how much sleep I've had. But I'll keep myself on schedule. No talking outside games unless permitted No talking during the commercial breaks Standard mafia shizzle, no post editing/play nice etc. Direct PM quoting is allowed, but not encouraged. Your vote will automatically be considered No Lynch until you inform me otherwise. SIGN UP TO BE A PART OF HISTORY. 1. Diaego 2. ReZourceman 3. Cube 4. Peeps 5. MadDog 6. Zell 7. Nintendohnut 8.

Diageo Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Well that would be difficult since he hasn't given any. Unless you mean the theme? Because we are all popular (UK) TV show presenters and we are in a mafia game.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 Diageo is well on the ball there. I was going to give the rules in the main topic. But if you'd like a short lowdown before - I'll get something up before I leave for work tomorrow.
Jonnas Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I am considering taking a small break from mafia games in general. I'll go along with Yvonne's mafia, since it will probably be short, but I'm afraid I won't sign up for this one after all. Though if inactives ever pop up (or if that one extra player is really needed), feel free to call me.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Ant & Dec. It was a bluff, they were dead already. Electric eels thrusted up their anus and made to swallow battery acid. Is that a request to play? Well that would be difficult since he hasn't given any. Unless you mean the theme? Because we are all popular (UK) TV show presenters and we are in a mafia game. I've gone super nice and mentioned both in a pr0 first post edit.

Slammed yo' name down.
Yvonne Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 It was a bluff, they were dead already. Electric eels thrusted up their anus and made to swallow battery acid. Is that a request to play? It is now !
Jonnas Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Oh alright, I'm in. You know I can't stand to break a man's balls!
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 My balls are feeling better already!
Mr-Paul Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I would like to be Alexander Armstrong's big ears please. Or his pointless friend Richard.
Tales Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I'm not sure if I should enter two at a time with my laptop problems. But thinking about it I'll probably be more active than some other people anyway :p But if there are too many commitments, kick me out.
