Surely you all know of the show Around the horn on ESPN.
Well I seen another board do this on AIM, how it works is the members (up to maybe about 6?) who want to compete meet on AIM and everyone goes into a chat.
The guy who sets up the chat gives the points and makes the topics and such.
So if I set up the chat, and we get 4 members to compete, I will make up a list of topics, you each will have 30 seconds to say what you want about them, if I agree with you, you get points, if I don't, you lose points.
We will have eliminations after every round of course, and a new host every game.
So what do you guys think?
I think this could be lots of fun if we get the serious members to participate and we all actually designate a time to do it.

I don't think this would work with our forum.
In fact, I know it wouldn't work with our forum.

I'll be in as long as I'm not Jay Mariotti.
Are we going to have similar structure such as "Buy or Sell"?

Sure, we can make it as authentic as possible, Woody.
And Inmate, thats cool, we would have 3 already if piggyman wants in?
Anyways when we get the first 4 we will set up a date and time on AIM and then post the winner and convo on ebaums.

That's good, seeing as the people that are interested aren't the "OMFG RED SOX :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: " like I thought it would be.

With posts like this to help the non-contribution cause no wonder why.....
So it looks like The Inmate, Phycuyu (however you spell it) piggyman, biodad, and sti will be in our first round.
I have Inmates, Physcusks and Bio Dads AIM, the rest of you should either post it here or just IM one of us (baumy300)
So lets work on a time gentleman.
EDIT:
Ok heres how it will work, we have a time, like 30 seconds, not exactly 30, but give or take a few.
You can have that much time to type ONE, yes ONE paragraph, or however much you can type around 30-40 seconds.
Then the host determines whether the post was absolute shit or pure brilliance and awards points, then the next guy gets his shot.
After you all have went twice we will have an elimination round, after you all go one time after that eliminations will happen each time all of you go.
Still with me? Good.
Ok buy or sell will be used and even your last words when you.
All we need is a time.

Sounds great, motivated, non-idiots like you guys will make this live up to its potential.
And when we get 2 more people to join we can do 2 games in one day, no biggy.
Now, for ALL of you to start looking up, the topics will be as follows for our first game, unless of course, other things come up.
**************************
Upcomming college football season.
Rany Moss.
^END ROUND 1^ - Elimination.
Bertuzzi back in hockey.
Buy or sell : Yankees don't make the post season - Phoenix Suns win 50 games - Cedric Benson as a player.
^END ROUND 2 ^- Elimination.
Little Leauge World Series.
Marlins Suspended Bat Boy.
^END ROUND3^ - Elimination/Winner.
Last Words.
------------------------------------------------------------
Oh and when your eliminated, justplease either leave or stay and view, but please don't interrupt other contestants.

Took the words from my mouth. Baumy would it be possible for more than 4 people to play?

I think the current champ (DP72) should be able to stay on the next one. The other 3 will be challenging for his title as champion.
I also think it would be cool to keep track of the number of showdowns and the number of wins, like they do on the actual show.
And another thing - I don't really like the fact that one person goes first and one person goes last every time. I would have 4 topics, with the contestants rotating. (1,2,3,4; 2,3,4,1; 3,4,1,2; 4,1,2,3). Then the elimination. Then 3 buy or sells with the contestants rotating again. Then another elimination, the showdown, and the Last Word.
What do you think, Baumdizzle?

I'm interested in participating in this. I'm not sure whether or not the 2nd round is full yet, but if it isn't count me in.

When someone is eliminated everyone can ignore. You could also use the ignore feature to be kind of like the mute feature on the show.

Yeah, that would be cool. Ignore them for 10 seconds and penalize them 1 point. Just like they do with Cowlishaw and his NASCAR bullshit.
