HDC Idol 2008-09

Good morning folks,


All of you are very welcome to HDC Idol 2008-09. Over the next few weeks, or months, we will be on the hunt for the one true HDC Superstar who has the will, wit and knowledge to be a potential celebrity in his/her own right. That person will rightfully be crowned as HDC Idol Superstar 2008-09, and will boast of the title for times immemorial.


But first, the details. As you all know, the deadline for closure of accepting confirmations ends a little less than 24 hours from now. But, in order to have a rollicking start, and tend to the thirst of curiosities regarding this event, I am boosting the opening ceremony to now. All of you are vaguely unfamiliar with the events which lie in front of you, the tests, the challenges, the twists which will keep you going or eliminate you, etc. All will be explained in due time.


For now, let's have a look at the groups, under which all confirmed participants find themselves in.


Here are...



THE OGRES

Take a close look at the groups you find yourselves in. Each one of the other members in that group is YOUR IMMEDIATE OPPONENT. Because, if you have been paying attention, you have to knock over all the others in your group and finish in the Top 3 to be guranteed a spot in the next Rounds.

Which brings me to explain to you...THE RULES!!



Rules For HDC Idol 2008-09

01 - You are responsible for your actions, and your actions only. The group will NOT be held guilty or punishable for anything which you do. The sole purpose of you being a part of the group is to fight your way into the Top 3 contention, for passage into the next Rounds.

02 - Each test will involve a lot of skill, patience, knowledge and wit. It is upto you to give each test your best effort - however if you use cunningness, manipulation, and the internet for your answers, you are permitted to do so.

03 - All of you will be under the stern gazes of your Judges, and their decision will be FINAL and BINDING. No contestant is allowed to question the judgement of any Judge, or challenge their integrity. The Judges will be fair, impartial and very strict.

04 - Over the course of the event, if you indulge in any sort of skirmishes, flaming wars, name-calling etc. with a contestant or contestants, then it will not be the liability of HDC Idol or any of its Judges. We will suggest you take it to PMs, or emails, and not cause unnecessary harrassment to other contestants.

05 - At the end of the first 3 Rounds, all scores of each contestant in each group will be added up. The Top 3 winners of each group will then advance on to the Individual Challenges, who will be joined by ONE wildcard contestant who will be selected from all the losing contestants.

06 - The decision to give all losing contestants one more chance depends solely on the discretion of the Judges and the host sponsors only.

07 - We all will have a wonderful time in our quest to finding the winner. All of you are urged to take your wins and losses in the right spirit, and keep the sportsmanship spirit alive.



The deadline is still on, so the first Test will be posted once the confirmation deadline is up. Till then, watch this thread and get prepared.

Sounds good.

So who are the judges?

And thanks for putting me in to such a weak group! Muhawhahahaha!

Oh, geez. Considering the company I have in the Goblins, this is not going to be easy.

Way to stick me in a group where I love everyone.

You may love them, but now they are your sworn enemies. Let the bodies hit the floor.

Oh my GOSH! This contest looks CREEPY! :eek:

Me scaredy :(

You a-makin' me scared, Crabby! :eek: :o

Yeah, I was excited when I first saw our group, until I learned that those are the people I have to compete against.

But enough of that!

*breaks, pops, does the worm and points at fortunato*

You got served!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Damn! You served him up somethin' fierce! Go home and change your undies now fortunato!

I'm glad I don't have to face that shit 'til the finals! Those were some mad skills yo!



My group is runnin' scared. Can't say I blame 'em but still... I expected something from someone. So far not not a peep out of any of them since I elbowdropped Roshiq.

Scared? Who's scared?

*tackles bwind22, stands up and leg drops on him*

Scared? Nah.

good luck to all

Not for you. mwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Don't make me serve you, woman!

*puts on old school Public Enemy*

*snaps fingers, breaks into running man, and then falls into a coin drop*

You got SERVED! :eek:

The Judges will be revealed once the confirmation Deadline is over.

Weak group? You are going to be very surprised.

this should be fun guys.....V always puts on a good show. If I had more time I would most def be involved....but I will be watching.....and rooting for my favorites. ;)

Good Luck all :D

ANNOUNCEMENT


All Ogres are hereby reminded to report here at Noon EST tomorrow.

Your first Test in front of the Judges will begin then.

I really like my teammates as well but this is a competition and may the best man or women win!

Looks like I'll be behind before I even get started :p

Dustin, too...

Wait, it's not not going to be easy for me?
Or it is not going to be easy for me? :confused:

Never mind....he's drunk...and he has no idea what he's saying...:rolleyes:

ANNOUNCEMENT


In view of recent developments, the first Test is scheduled to begin on Sunday night, not noon as announced previously.

All Ogres are informed to be here from 10 PM EST tomorrow night. The Test will begin shortly afterwards.

I'm excited to see what the first test is!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, the clever semantic game will only get you so far, fortune boy. :p

I'm not sure about the other contestants, but evenings work better for me too...

But anyway...

GOOD LUCK OGRES

Drat! Clever semantic games are all I know.
I'm in for it...:(

If we have to be here at a certain time, can we get more than a day's notice? Or does it not matter if we're late?

This site is blocked when I'm at work so the chances of me being here during working hours are zero.

Cant do much when they break your cable in 4 places, but watch in sheer helplessness.

Sorry guys, I wanted this to open with a great opening ceremony, but the renovators around my place broke my internet cables about 23 hours ago. Sincerest apologies to all the Ogres and Judges who were online at the scheduled time. There are times when one cant do anything but sit in frustration, and watch things happening around you.

As for the first Test, we start with the Ogres, who are up again...and the time will be, tomorrow morning at 10 30 AM EST. Sufficient time for all Ogres to see this and be here then.

The deadline was up awhile ago, and since I didnt receive any more confirmations till then...the groups stay. Unless I get replies from 3 contestants who said they ll be in touch, since they havent been online since they PMed me.

As for the Judges, there are 4 of em all ready to rip you and your talents to pieces, and since the deadline is up, let me introduce them to you :-


Judge Number 01 - NeverEnding,

Judge Number 02 - Hammerfan,

Judge Number 03 - Austin316426808,

and

Judge Number 04 - Roderick Usher.



All the best, Ogres. I hope each one of you is upto their expectations!

So just the Ogres have to be here so I am fine until our team is called.

Awesome!

That sucks V. Tell those idiots to mind your internet cables!

I work late tonight so I probably won't get to sleep until sometime around 2 or 3am. I will not be up at 9:30 am CST but will probably be online around 11 or noon. I hope that not being here right on time doesn't end up counting against me.

Ahh, I thought this was going to be something where people had to make viseos of themselfs singing dodgey Barry Manilow covers...

I hope I can be easily on line with new schedule.:)

Announcements


01 - It is not necessary for you to be online when the Tests are being posted. However, you must turn in your entry before the deadlines expire, so that the Judges can comment on them. This will hold for all Tests which have a deadline - as regards live performances, that will require you to be online when you stand in front of the Judges.

02 - Initially, there will be 3 Qualifying tests. Needless to say, all 3 tests will have scores by all judges, and the Top 3 scorers from each group move into the Individual Elimination stage.

03 - Each qualifying test will have a deadline of 48 hours (except TG, for which we will have a break) and so, you have to be online at least once in that time period.

04 - The Judges are free to criticize you, even when they might hold any sort of admiration for your entries. Take that in your stride, or you may lose points with the Judges.

05 - A couple of surprises awaits all contestants when we start at 10 30 AM EST on Tuesday. Be online and see it for yourself.

I'm here, V

I'm here

Hi Dustin!

I'm here...

Welcome, Dustin, Freak and esteemed Judge Hammerfan.

I guess its time so let's get this started...

*waves retardedly*

Thank you for humoring the old broad! :D
