BigBrother Red House! [G]

[shazza]

This is BigBrother...

Now that all seven housemates have posted, it is now time to announce this weeks task. This weeks task will be making the BigBrother Red Community.

Requirements:
A front page with a red color scheme
A biography of each housemate
A BigBrother blue song

Additionals:
Interests
Message Board
Etc

You have $50,000 right now, how much prize money would you like to bet this week? (10%, 20% etc) (If you bet 10% and win, you will be up $5,000 and go to $55,000)

NOTE: Only one team can win, either the Red or the Blue, both teams may do it excellent but I may like the other teams better, so one will win, and one will lose.

Good luck!

[Jay]

Eh, I bet 35%.

I could do well with the descriptions since I know everyone in the house well enough to do a mini biography on each (even if some don't know it =P). I guess that could blend in with the interests but I'd need help with that o_x

[Razola]

35% sounds good enough.

Who in this household has the necessary skills to put forth such a page? I know my way around Tripod, but it isn't the high-end of design.

Should it be a BigBrother Red Song?

[shazza]

This is BigBrother...

Yes it should Raz, also, you must decide who will sing the song using a microphone.

[Jay]

I have no microphone or anything for me to be able to get my voice onto a computer...besides i'm no good at singing anyway, and I hate my voice. =P

I have the necessary skills to make a site, Raz, but I'm sure a couple of other's here do also. I just don't want to hog all of the work, but I'm more than willing to if no one else wants to.

[en0miz]

Yeah, 35 percent seems reasonable.

I suck at all things HTML, so I really can't help you with the page building. :x I can help with the info needed for the site, of course.

I don't have a mic, so I can't sing the song. xD

[The Rusted One]

Yeah, I want to see it...but...what if the other people see it and copy it?

Anyway, I dunno about the others, but I'd say 30%, though I'll change it based on the support for any other suggestion.

And how long does the biography have to be for each of us?

And also, the song has to be sung, right? Well...I have no microphone, so I won't be able to be the singer...anyone up for a vocal challenge?

[shazza]

This is BigBrother...

By biography BigBrother just meant a quick information about them with an optional picture, you can just copy and paste their info from the sign up topic.

[Gligar_Man]

i dont get it, 8(

ive warned you guys i dont know how big brother works...

also, i think pretending to do stuff your not is commonly known as lying...

edit: also bigbrother, X( (mr shaz) explained to me kind of, and maybe i dont get it, but for the biography part, we could all just write a little bit about ourselves and combine it for the task... (if i get it... cause i dont know a few of you) anyways, ill start

my name is otto l rowe, i am 17, i live in el mirage arizona, in the middle of the desert, i am 6'4, i weigh 246 lbs, i have green eyes & black hair, i wrestled for 6 years, and placed first in state 5-a 211 weight division, i like to watch football, smoke pot, drive through the mountaint & i am generally a strong/silent type, im one of those people you like to have on your side, but you really dont want going against you, i work hard, ummm, yeah

[The Rusted One]

Yeah, I think just copying and pasting from little introductions done in here would be a good idea, and I guess it's like a self-introduction for the rest of us, too...so...

I'm Simon Kenneth Harding Randell (yes, four names...), I'm 18 and come from New Zealand with lies to the south-east of Australia. I'm commonly known as "Rusty" by the people of Ummmm and a few of my offline friends, and by Oz as "Bluey" (Australian wit, we'll call it, lol) - both due to me red hair. I have eyes that are a very similar colour to my hair, so people often think I'm evil, and my skin is the typical kind of fair that you get with redheads. At the moment, I attend Victoria University in Wellington, the capital of NZ, and study Biology and Classics. I generally dislike the concept of sport due to its almost entire lack of intellectual skill, but I'm not unfit and enjoy physical activities like walking, swimming, etc. Aside from that, I also like writing, drawing, and debating, though I have no proper training. Yeah, so, hi?

[Sir Chris]

I wouldn't bet so much if no one is willing to do the site so far and no one thus far has a mic... but thats just me

35% if ye wish

~ Chris

[Gligar_Man]

why do you not enjoy the physical challenge or sports?

just as one would read books & research random tidbits of braincandy to participate in jeopardy or some intillectual competition

people do train there whole lives, work out, constantly, and it does take a certain level of intillectual ksill, rememberring plays, deciding wich is the best to get you the win in a split second, rarely do things come maturally like that, esspecially group sports (by naturally i mean everyone in sync w/out effort... ) just like learning to do math & work on memorizing stuff, you have to work for something, they work for something else...

hopefully its not the amount of money they make, some people are dealt a good hand, i do not think its fair basketball players make millions of dollars a year, while jeopardy contestants make 100k in 6 days, X(

anywhos, before i continue, what exactly is your problem with them, did i over assume and you have no vendetta against them at all you just enjoy watching, or was i misled by you saying "they rquire little thought) or whatever... "

[shazza]

This is BigBrother...

35% will be how much you bet on this weeks task.

[Andrew]

Hello! I am back from the beach and sporting a great looking sunburn. I also woke up this morning and diagonal from our house is a set of 3 stores, one a small convienince, one empty and one a beauty salon and I saw a giant message as soon as I sat up and looked out my window.

FAKE SPRAY ON TAN ONLY $35 TILL JANUARY 31 2004!

I can't believe how thrilling it was to wake up to such a disterbing sign.

Oh! And about the site dudes and dudettes - http://www.livejournal.com/users/ozandrew Use my colour scheme from there! Its not bright, its nice, cool and rather refreshing. I can't program to save my life But I can compile info and uh like host the site!

Oh and to beat those nasty Red House people Lets have a heap of categories to beat them! And once we come up with the final list, lets all post our responses.

[Andrew]

Oh! I forgot! I also bet 35% on the task 8) I hope we can beat the Red House (y) Who wants to do some spying and report back with what they're doing lol

[Lezta]

My Mic's quality is so shoddy I can't do it.... although I really would love to.

Just tell me something else to do, and I'll do it though.

I never said I didn't enjoy physical challenge. I said I didn't enjoy sports, as in, rugby, hockey, etc. I stated that I liked swimming, walking, and other activities that involved me doing exercise.

Practice doesn't denote mental exersion. In fact, the more you practice, the less mental activity there is; you're relying on things you do by habit rather than things you do by conscious decision. Deciding which way to hit the ball or whatever under pressure involves fast reactions, but not necessarily fast thinking. It requires, often, being able to kick a ball. Or being able to use some kind of bat-like apparatus in order to direct the ball elsewhere. This is not intellectual ability, though it does often denote some kind of physical skill.

anywhos, before i continue, what exactly is your problem with them, did i over assume and you have no vendetta against them at all you just enjoy watching, or was i misled by you saying "they rquire little thought) or whatever... "

When did I say I have a problem with people who play sport? Never. When did I say I had some sort of vendetta against them? Never. But no, I don't enjoy watching sports. I have no interest in them, and believe that too much attention and time is devoted to them really. Physical activity is fine - but I see no point in watching someone else get exercise and win or lose a game, especially when the game itself is so inconsequential. Not to cause conflict, but you seem very eager to acuse me of demeaning people who play sport - I never said it wasn't their right to play, and I never said that the fact that they do play sport makes them lesser beings - I just said that I do not enjoy sport, and, especially in comparison to such things as learning and knowledge, sport requires a far smaller amount of intellectual ability.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Meh, I don't have a mic... I am a lousy singer, but I would have liked to have done the song anyways... As for the website, I know absolutely nothing about HTML and stuff, I can help with info and stuff for the website though.

Meh, I'm useless

[Jay]

I'll give someone else the chance to do the info and I'll do the site, I guess. I just hope Raz or Ash can do the song or we're going to fail :/

[Lezta]

I can write lyrics if you just tell me what things you want included.

I'm guessing stuff about all of us, about the colour red, and about how great Big Brother (shazza) is.

[Jay]

What, I think, we should do is post the information on ourselves here so we can have the information done by all of us, and it's coming from us so it's genuine. (The following came from an old topic in Misc that I think would suit it well)

---


My real name is Jayden. How cool. I prefer to be called Jay, hence my TPM name.

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

I have an attitude, and most have noticed it. I get a temper very easily and I can do some crazy and stupid things. Small things tick me off very quickly. I think the furthest I've gone with my temper is quit a place I enjoyed working at in PCG (Buena's Radio Show). I'm a workaholic there, but I love it.

I'm versitile with my attitude, so I can transfigure to alter between different situations. I try to be as friendly as possible to counter my own jerky attitude, and it works. So I'm really kind I guess.

I stick in the house often so that's why I'm on here all the time except when I'm at school and sleeping obviously. That's like 1/3 of my life at TPM/on the computer. I've made some pretty good friends online, but I don't think any of them come close to the ones I've made here.

That's all

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Hi!! My name is Christen, I am 18 years old, and I live in Akron, Ohio. I have been a member of TPM since November 6, 2000) (Yay, I just celebrated my 3 year anniversary @ TPM!! Go me lol ^_^) I have 2 dogs, both are Miniature Schnauzers, a 6 1/2 year old black and silver male named Casey, and a soon-to-be 4 year old all black female named Chloe. I also have a lot of tropical fish aquariums. Some of my interests are the Cleveland Indians, I am a huge Indians fan!! I've been watching the Indians since 1995. I live only 45 minutes away from Jacob's Field, where the Indians play, so I go to quite a few games during the year. I am also one of the few people that actually still collect Beanie Babies. I have well over 800 Beanie Babies in my collection. I am online TPM a lot, usually a couple hours every day. I usually hang out around the G/S/C forum, but I also visit P/C/G, Misc, vB Help, and R/S.

[EVme15]

*blink blink* um... ok...

Hi, I'm Kayla, mostly known as EVme or EVme15 by people who don't care to shorten it. My RL friends call me Noraneko. I'm 15 and I'm from Needham MA. I have dark blonde (yes....) hair that has natural highlights, and my eye color is blue. I'm currently in 9th grade at Needham High School, taking all advanced courses, and getting B-/C+ in most of them. I'm learning two languages in school, and trying to self-teach myself Japanese. I play soccer and occasionally volleyball. I enjoy writing, drawing, video games, and listening to music. I have a boyfriend, Zak. ^_^

Tell me if there's anything you want me to do about the site. I have Microsoft Frontpage and we could make a sub-page off my website if needed.
Also, once someone comes up with a song (don't ask me to, lol, my taste in music sucks) I'll try and sing it. *has a digital video camera* Just a random idea, we could use that song, "Blue" by... um... Eiffle 65 (I think) lol.
I bet... um... 40% I guess.

Ja ne 4 now! ^_^

[Discothéque]

"I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die.." xD Anyway, I'll bet 30% on this challenge. Also, I probably won't be able to help much, as I have absolutely no clue how to do HTML of any sort. >_>; But I -can- give information about me. xD If anyone thinks there are any jobs I can do properly, however, I'll gladly do them. ^_^

-
My name is Amanda, but quite a few people call me by my nickname, "Psiana". I'm fourteen years old and live in Kentucky, in the mountains. ^^ My hair is an odd mixture of black, brown and blonde, though mainly brown and my eyes are a greyish [light] blue colour. I'm 5 feet and 6 1/2 inches tall and weigh 110 pounds. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, music [mainly the Queen of the Damned soundtrack], watching Angel / BtVS and talking to my friends. I also have a boyfriend; Chris / Cheesey. ^^

[The Rusted One]

Just a question...I thought we were supposed to write the song, not just perform one already written? If so...we sort of need to be trying to make it up about now, I think.

And also, does Oz' livejournal (shameless advertising...lol) colour scheme sit well with everyone for colours? I think we could use it, though might stronger blues be a better idea?

[EVme15]

Yeah. I was just thinking that we could use that as the music and make up the lyrics.

I've got a theme that I made from FrontPage if Oz's colors don't suit your fancy. I can also change these colors very easily if we don't like them. Um... yeah. ^_^

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Zak]

This is Little Brother.

According to Big Brother, you are to write a song based on the Big Brother Blue House team. The melody does not matter, it would be perfectly acceptable if your song was sung to the tune of a known song. Creative lyrics is what he is after.

[en0miz]

Here's my biography. :>

Sup? The name's Simone but I also go by Simz, Simmy, Enomis, Sunibe and many other nicknames. I'm 16 and my birthday's October 30th. I got two siblings, a younger brother and an older sister in college. I live in Jamaica, Queens, NYC and even though it's a pretty ghetto area, I'm still livin' good. 8) I enjoy watching shows like Futurama and Family Guy, playing video games on my Gamecube and GBA, and wasting time on the internet. I also enjoy reading books, my favorite series being Redwall and Harry Potter.

I listen to my favorite music (rap and r&b) everyday, my favorite rapper being the Notorious BIG. I joined TPM in February 2001, but didn't become an active member until around last year. You can find me mostly in Misc, PCG, and Video Games. Offline, I like to hang out after school and at my church - which is basically just another hangout spot. xD I'm generally a nice person, and I'm also very laidback. That's about it.

[Sir Chris]

Bio, right.

My name is Christopher, but I am usually called Chris by friends. I am 16 and I was born in Columbia Missouri, however I have lived the last 15+ years of my life in sarasota florida. My birhtday is on July 14th, almost the opposite of christmas, presents all year o' around! I have two siblings, a brother named chuck and a sister named tina. They are both older than me and I don't get along with them very well. I enjoy playing video games, chillin on the computer, and reading fantasy novels. One of my favorite books to read is about Merlin and his life. My favorite book series would have to be the dark tower series by King though. I don't have many friends, not much of a people person really. I am currently single, so ladies I am open for some dates ^_~. My favorite music is by the goo goo dolls and matchbox 20, they own like hell. My favorite song is "I'll be" by the mentioned goo goo dolls. I guess I am a hopeless romantic at heart.

I joined TPM September second 2001, in my time here I have been modded twice(including my current run) and met a lot of friends. My best friends on here would be vineon, red13n, and gligar_man. I took a ten month break over some stuff last year and came back here in june of this year. I love g/s/c and its one of my great passions. My biigest accomplishment as mod has been getting ash_300 banned, if only for a short while. He really irks me

~~~~~~~~~~~

there, hope I did ok ;/.

[nightcrow]

Soory I don't post this weekend, i was busy for the most part.


Bio-

Hi I am Ashlea, a female, and am 15 (almost 16). I like animals and I'm an aritst. I was born in Peterborough, England, on January 10, 1988. I have two younger brothers, Austin and Taylor, and one on the way now! I also have a dog named Kirby, who's retarded. I'm a straight-up "metal head" who has a love for country and classical. I'm always listening to music.

I joined TPM in August 2001, though I was lurking for months. I admin the oekaki, stop by sometime.

--

I shall edit and decide what I can do. Oh, and I don't have a working mic. Sorry.

Edit: Well, I can help with graphics for the website, and gathering info. Is that ok?

[Lezta]

Bio eh?

Okey dokey!

Hi, I'm Lester and I'm not an alchoholic. Or any kind of holic really...

I'm 18. That's depressing because I'm legally an adult. I have long hair. Infact, I haven't had it cut in two years...

As far as music goes - I listen to metal. And Prince.

Don't take the piss.

EDIT: And Penguins are the ****ing best thing ever.

[Andrew]

ARGH! Forum ate my long post! EVIL FORUM! >=[

Simple version. Lets delegate tasks. 3 or 4 people work on the site & Message board... 3 or 4 on the song...

I have a mic and I know I can record 1 minute of sound. I can write lyrics too! And if you need webspace, I can host the site too...

So yea

[The Rusted One]

Okay, well, I'm not sure how good I am at writing lyrics, but I can't really help with the website aspect, so if I'm to help with the song, I will. And are we all okay with the Eiffel 64 (65?) "Blue" tune?

[The Rusted One]

___ - I think if the colours were a little less strong, and slightly less uniform (like, some kind of fade across a scale of blue or something), it'd be ideal. I mean, right now it sort of floods the screen with a lot of really strong blue (the parts that are blue, I mean) and it sort of seems...flat? I dunno, it just seems to go straight from black to blue, rather than there being soft edges, but I like the plan with the black and everything. So I'm voting for your design.

Edit - And I think editing your post might be a better idea than posting lots - I think it'll keep the mods happier if you do, lol.

[Gligar_Man]

does the song have to be about anything inparticular?

[shazza]

This is BigBrother....

It is supposed to be about the BigBrother Blue house.

[Jay]

I don't think BigBrother has an exact answer yet, but so the question will remain here so he'll remember and answer when he can, will we still get prize money if no one will attempt to sing the song, but do the site/graphics/biographies/etc. etc.? And if none of us can sing it, are we able to get someone else that isn't in the house to? And will lyrics do but no song if all else fails? lol blabbermouth *shuts up* =P

So Ash will do the graphics/other info if possible, and I'll do the site. Lester could do the lyrics if BB agrees to just them, but no song. We'll have to wait before we can do anything really. Thanks for the bios people :o

I will start, and finish what I can with the site tomorrow possibly when I have some solid info here. I'm generally quick with production so no need to worry.
