For those of you who haven't done this before.... What happens is 16 members of the accbbs will sign up. Then, they are put into tribes, they go through challenges (all pertinent to the internet in some way), tribal councils, merges, etc..... It is a VERY fun game! The contestants all form alliances and gain immunity from votes and it gets more and more heated as you move through things.
I'm writing this thread now to announce that there will be a sign up thread NEXT monday morning. The reason for this is because I'm running the Masters Challenge this week and that will take over immediately afterwards. The other reason I'm putting up this warning thread is because winning will depend a lot on being on line at the right time. Realizing that the challenges have been posted is 50% of winning them in some cases. So basically....the first challenge is to be online at the right time to sign up next monday morning between 8 AM and 10 AM. It's possible that few people want to play and you can take your time, but I hope not! Only 16 players can sign in.
This is an official challenge in the ACCbbs Cup!

But, like I said, this is just the first part of the game. Getting in is just as hard as winning any challenges!

So....the first part of getting any of those points, is getting to the signup thread quick enough on Monday morning. You can't win if you don't get in....

Larry, if there is enough interest, would you consider having two "islands"? That way 32 people could play.
