News? Gossip? Anyone? Bueller?
No way I can catch up on a bazillion posts after 5 weeks, so if there's anything like births, deaths, marriages, moves, job changes, feuds (new ones, not the same ol' BS) or postcards I should know about, let me know!

It's the same, although some other people are changing their avatars, too, to provide the opportunity to score more points.minimetoo26 wrote:Is that still the game of Find the Genesis of Uly's Avatar Changes?

Scoring still something of a free-for-all.

In other news you may or may not have heard:
Rafferty Barnes is having a baby! She updates her avatar weekly, to update us on her progress.
MMFF is having another baby. She's discussed some possible names, focusing on Kai, Anika or Cletus II.
Appa is preparing for his family's trip to WDW. They're trying to go with carry-on backpacks for each of them and one checked suitcase for all five of them!
Elwing is in Alaska for a summer job as a bus driver/tour director.

They mention starting auditions in NYC on May 18 (with others nationwide TBA) for both the syndicated show and the prime time one. Although they don't mention the Phone Game at all, that's the clear implication, to me.

Re: News? Gossip? Anyone? Bueller?
That doesn't preclude having a phone game, or some other method of contestant selection. It's possible that they haven't yet decided all the details and are just covering their bases.MarleysGh0st wrote:starfish1113 wrote:Do we know this for a fact?

Re: News? Gossip? Anyone? Bueller?
I grajuated from PetSmart school again last nite.
I got a diploma, a goodie bag with treets (which I shared with Annie), a frijerator magnet, and a new floppy toy. I also got more new boyfrins, N cluding Onyx's brother. I cant remember his real name, so I call him Blondyx.
I am a good grajuater, cuz PetSmart is easier than the stuff Annie teeches me.

Re: News? Gossip? Anyone? Bueller?
The single-suitcase deal could work--I can cram a week's worth of summer clothes for Erin in a kid's-sized backpack! She's tiny! But they have one in diapers, which are expensive at WDW. I'd pack a bunch of those, and use the space they used to take up to put souvenirs on the return trip. Just make sure the case doesn't go over the 40-or-50 lb limit, depending on the airline. I've packed for 10 days and 6 people in two suitcases, easily, and Stephen wears jeans.MarleysGh0st wrote:In other news you may or may not have heard:

Elwing is in Alaska for a summer job as a bus driver/tour director.
I've known about the little future arrivals, and I vote for Annika (that's one of Erin's pretend names, courtesy of the Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus DVD.)
I had known about the Alaskan Job Hunt, and I'm happy to see it came to fruition! Cool! Or cold, actually....

Re: News? Gossip? Anyone? Bueller?
No, it doesn't preclude them doing anything, but it's a pretty clear indication of their intent. They don't need that many contestants for the limited series of summer shows, particularly if they decide against bringing back the ROF (something else which they haven't said a word about). Maybe they'll give away a random chance in a sweepstakes or something, but I'll bet there won't be anything like the Phone Game or the MDB competition.Sisyphean Fan wrote:That doesn't preclude having a phone game, or some other method of contestant selection.
