UEMB Survivor III: The Government Apprentice

[Game Master]

Everyone loves a cushy, mindless government job.  Clock in, look busy, pass the buck, clock out - that’s what it’s all about.  How else are you going to pay off that six digit student loan and still have time to finish that twenty year old Frasier screenplay?  And you can still complain about how soul crushing your existence is to the neighbor you ambushed as she was jogging by.

Well… now’s your chance.  A new mayor is being sworn in, and he’s going to be looking for the most unscrupulous, brown nosing apprentice he can find.  All you have to do is dazzle one of his highly unqualified deputies with your feigned competence.  What could be easier?

…

This will be the third time we’ve run this game, but if you still haven’t seen it, here’s a basic synopsis.  In the early rounds, you and your teammates compete against another team to win challenges and earn points for the whole team.  Then you take those points with you to the knockout round where you compete as an individual to become the next apprentice.  You’ll be asked to put your creativity and general knowledge to the test,  with an emphasis on current trends and a broad knowledge of civics.  This is a team event, so you will have to commit to participating every week during the first three team rounds (about six weeks total).  Challenges last a week and a half, with a half week of voting.  Once the knockout rounds start, the players with the fewest points are knocked out until the last three compete for the ultimate prize.

Enrollment starts now and continues until next Friday.  Go to the poll and sign up there.

I'll reserve my answer until I see how it pans out....if you're short a guy, I'll play...if not, I'll do what I did last time

I’m extending this at least one week, because we’re not getting much interest.

Seeing you two talk about it is really making me reconsider my decision not to play.

This event and the general feel of the place around the time made it the first summer of the ‘20s that didn’t kinda blow.

We didn't have a great launch, and I never sent an eblast out because the site was shitting the bed. I want to confirm with KN whether we're in a good place or not and then Scooby can relaunch properly.
