The Celebrity Combat Zone-Updated Version!!

"Wha...where's the kaboom? Where's the earth-shattering kaboom?" Looking over at his monitor, killerdwarf sees a ballistic projectile hurtling toward his home in The City Fun Forgot, Ontario. "Curses. Dratted Hero, spoiling my fireworks. But maybe...this won't be a total loss!" Killerdwarf taps madly on his ergonomically correct keyboard, mumbling cartesian coordinates and grunting math formulae. "There, I may not annihilate that dratted Hero and his posse, but I will accomplish part of my goal...to ease the crushing load of banality and boredom at BB! Mwahahahahaha!" And as killerdwarf does the Electric Boogaloo, the wayward nuke slams into it's secondary target, that Hollywood wannabe, Toronto! All across the land, people cheer, but a voice is heard, faintly..."Never fear, Hero...I'll be back...this isn't over between us! Mwahahahahaha!"
 
Ok this is where I have to step in. Yes things have slightly gone OT from the thread topic, but this suggests to me its because people don't want to actually chat about celebrity battles.

This sucks!Nobody seems to be particiapating in the actual topic.Everyone is too busy battling other BB users.Please, I beg you BB users, play this cool game, and ignore the off topic discussions some users are having.
 
Well Xx, as I've said before, you're my Drogyn house buddy, so I'm going to help you adjust to the board.

You're wondering why you're "game" isn't catching on, and why people would spoof it, right? Here are some possibilities, and suggestions on how to fix it.

First of all you're calling it a game. It's in the wrong forum. Find a forum where it fits.

You tell us this didn't catch on the first time, and you're solution is to post it again. I'd suggest altering it a bit, but keep the basic concept intact.

You've made it complicated where it doesn't need to be. If you want to know who's the most popular, simply post a poll. This wouldn't fit in the Games forum, but there are forums where it would. If you're unsure how to post a poll, I believe there are instrusctions in the FAQs. If you're still unsure you can PM me, and I'll try to help.

You've posted this same kind of Hollywood thing on multiple occasions. Make it seem different.

If you want to do a contest thing, here's a suggestion.

Go to the games forum. Give three names something like:

1. Jewel Staite
2. Mercedes Mcnab
3. Julie Benz

Ask people to arrange them in the order they like them the best. Take 5 votes. Get a winner and move the winner against another 2 contestants.

You'll notice I used supporting characters. You're in a Buffy/Tru forum. If you start with Sarah and Eliza, you'll have no place to move to find a more popular contestant.

Try to avoid the Hollywood thing. People seem to be trying to tell you they're getting tired of it. You might try another Hollywood thread in a month or so when it seems fresher, or post your game in a general entertainment related forum.

With the suggestion I gave above you might name it something like Whedonverse Popularity Contest. In this way you could use any celebrity with a connection to a Joss Whedon project.
