Ages ago we used to run an annual mock whoosh survivor game here on the board. It was a lot of fun and I was wondering if anyone was up for another round?

I wasn't here then and I don't know the game, but if it's easy, I'll play.

Old game threads are archived here.
I think we played two games, possibly three ... and I don't recall which threads go together, but I'm sure the dates on the threads will help link them together.

Ok that's three.....three more would be great. Six would be perfect!
Maybe I should have titled this thread FREE CHOCOLATE!
Anyone else brave enough?

Did someone say "free chocolate?" Yeah I'll give it a bash I guess, long as it's easy enough for a ten year old to understand ..................... *what have I got myself into this time?*

Ok...I guess it's just the four. I'm leaving sign up until Friday. I need everyone to check in who's already said they want to play just to make sure you're still up for it. And anyone else who wants to jump in. After friday we'll get the ball rolling.

Hey, Scrappy....we're gonna have coffee, yes? Each our own supply? Cuz it's one of life's necessities, you know.

Hmmm...maybe. Or maybe I'll make the first challenge about winning one food item. MWAHAHAHA....I'll make you work for it!
I'll give everyone a taste of the opening match. Each player is allowed one outfit...choose wisely. And...every player is allowed ONE personal item from home. Nothing bigger than can be fit inside a 10 inch x 10 inch x 5 inch box.

OH! and Fairly Bored Mom? Think we can have our own section where I can set up different threads for challenges and exile island? OH! and one more question...is it possible to decorate the pages differently than the main board?

Okay ... I have it in here for now. I can move it to wherever anyone feels it should be moved to. And I left the header & footer empty.
Oh, and I can tweak the name if anyone doesn't like what I've chosen.

Okay, so I added the Whoosh logo part of the header only. I'll replace the image with a new "Whoosh Island" logo later on. How's that so far, Scrappy?
I think that I might be able to change the color codes in Le's code and use it later on ... we'll see. First there needs to be a decision on color schemes and whatnot. (I'll need the color codes.)
No guarantees though. Cross your fingers.

Okay, Scrappy, you can now do the following:- Bump Threads: bump threads to the top of the list.
- Sticky Threads: sticky threads so that they stay above all other threads.
- Lock Threads: lock threads so that no one may post in the topic.
- Reply to Locked Threads: reply to topics even if they are locked.
- Lock Polls: prevents any more users from voting.
- View Poll Voters: view who has voted in a particular poll.
- Advanced Moderation Mode: Provides an easy way to lock/sticky/bump multiple threads at once.
If you can't do these things I did something wrong and will need to fix it ... so let me know.

Holy cow! Excellent job. Ask for somethiung small and get the whole enchilada! I like where it's located. I can add more threads for other stuff later. As for the coding I can do that I just don't know where to put it, since I don't have access to the admin functions. And I have a color scheme in mind I just don't want to give it away yet. Maybe when we're ready I can just give you a run down and let you know what hex codes I want?
Dang...I'm thinking your team might just come up with an advatage to start with....LOL

Well, I think the coding should either be done through PM or a private board. How about I PM you Le's code and you can switch the color codes to the ones you like. If you need to experiment, create a test forum of your own so you can play around and tweak it until it looks like you want it to, then you can PM me the code and I'll paste it to the header & footer.

That would be perfect. I don't want to get it done until after I announce the island location though. Since you're a contestant as well I'd like for you to be surprised too. I do have the logo finished though and again I'll get that to you as soon as I've announced the location.
Ok...still waiting for Kat and TommyG to check in. And again anyone else who would like to play please feel free to jump in.

Okay ... I'm fixing up the Mod Training Ground board right now ... you'll be able to see it once I'm done and add you to the category list. We'll discuss the 'behind the scenes' there.
BTW: It never hurts to create your own forum to play around with. That's how I got to be a Mod and a Co-Admin. Although that wasn't the reason I created my forums, but it helped me be useful to Le, and here I is.
[Edit] Okay. You should be able to see the Mod Training Ground board now. [/Edit]

Okay ... I have archived all the Survivor: Whoosh Island game threads onto their own boards so that newbies can check it out and see if they might be interested in playing:

No worries.
Can we do this with three people? Maybe three distinct tribes? Whats everyone think?
KAT!!! Where are you?

SA: You can work on an 'invite' and I'll send it to all members by mass email. I believe the emails are text only, so any links will need to be exposed so members can copy & paste to check it out. You could post the invite in a thread on the 'Whoosh Island' board and I'll email the teaser and a link to the thread ... or you could set up a free website page with the invite, or upload an image invite that I could send the link to members.
Whatever might get more interested. I could also send out the invite by YukuWhoosh too.

Ya know ... I was rereading old game threads and I think there should be small smiley icons for some of the games. Such as small images of: rock, paper, scissors ... Xs & Os ... etc. That is, if you plan on using those games in your version of the game.
If I come across some, I'll add them to the list here.
