The Price is Right: Renty's Great Return! Ep.3 -- Showcases
« on: October 26, 2015, 12:00:42 PM »
It’s back!!!

After a nearly two-year-long hiatus, Renty’s Price is Right is back and better than ever!

I consider it an honor to be the first host under Roadgeek Adam’s tenure as HYO moderator, so I want this show to be a darn good one! This section has been slipping in participation lately, and I would love to turn that trend around with an excellent show full of excitement and quality participants! And by “quality participants,” I mean those who represent everything that is great about this site. This show is open to all, but the nine I choose will be based purely on merit. You know who you are, so please, sign up!


Rules:

Sign-ups will be open to all for a minimum of 72 hours.

Priority will be given to those who display quality and excellence in their posts and actions on the site; however, everyone is welcome to sign up.

Contestants will have the typical 24 hour response time before being buzzed out of their item up for bids or pricing game; a failure to respond during the Showcase Showdown or Showcases will be allowed, but only if it is your first instance.

Two failures to respond within the 24 hour limit will result in disqualification from the show.

Other general HYO rules apply.


I have an excellent show lined up full of exciting pricing games and wonderful prizes, so I hope to see many of you sign up -- especially the greats!

I'll sign up if that's alright!
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

I esteem this approach. It is interesting to peruse, with respect to your player selection method; it is the same modus I use to determine with which shows to amalgamate my name. Given what high approbation many old guard members, including myself, have for you, I'd be more than appreciative to hopefully come on down and disport on this production.

This line sure is getting lengthy! :P

I hope my conditions for being a contestant didn't come across as harsh. I want to make it clear that any and everyone is welcome to sign up -- I'm just giving priority to senior/quality members, especially with this being the first show under Adam's watch. Jess understood, but I want to make sure everyone else does, too. My criteria is meant to encourage participation, not discourage.

I promise, this will be a great show! You don't want to miss out on the fun! :)

I don't think so, there just aren't as many eyeballs on this section anymore.

Hope this bumps it up as I put my name down.

Big or small I'm willing to win! And if luck is on my side hopefully win the Showcase Showdown and of course the Showcase as well. In other words I'm in! Lol!  :-D

You know what? It's been a while since I last played a game, so perhaps I'll play this one.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

I know I need to post more that usual; however, I have to take a shot at this.

You know what? I basically stopped playing these as I couldn't be bothered, even the rare good shows.

But since they still seem few and far between for the moment, what the hell? Sign me up.
