Seriously, spoilerize it or something, it's way too long.

I find it quite useful in its current format. Thanks, Rob. I appreciate the effort. Here's hoping tomorrow I get to put it to use.sunflower wrote:Seriously, spoilerize it or something, it's way too long.

The button you want is the "spoiler=" button, which (on my interface) is next to the "spoiler" button. But seriously, I don't think you should put it in spoilers -- it's more useful to those of us who may need it without them. --BobTheSearchIsOn wrote:Thanks Bob.
For those of you that would like to see the post condensed, if you guys can tell me how to add the spoiler brackets where it reduces the block of text, I'll add it. I tried highlighting the text and clicking on the spoiler button, but that just created a black section of text that was the same size as the original text. Don't think that would really help.
The post is 100% ontopicosity and will be entirely welcome to those who get The Call and need to reference it.TheSearchIsOn wrote:Thanks Bob.

I'm not sure how they manage the signed releases, when PAFs live far from the contestants. Can we receive them as e-mail attachments and FAX them back? What did they do for SyndieBAM next season?Contestants must provide in advance as directed by Producer the names, phone numbers, photographs, and signed releases of each of their Phone-A-Friends. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the inability to have an individual(s) participate in this lifeline. Individuals participating as Phone-A-Friends may do so only one (1) time within the eleven (11) episodes scheduled to be broadcast on the Network starting August 9, 2009.
E-mail attachments worked for me for both the releases and the photograph. --BobMarleysGh0st wrote:Those of us volunteering to PAF should keep these requirements in mind:

Can we send our photos as e-mail attachments or do TPTB need hard copies?
Were you able to sign the release and e-mail an image of that back?Bob78164 wrote:E-mail attachments worked for me for both the releases and the photograph. --Bob
Yes. I don't even think I needed to follow up by mailing the original. I'm pretty sure the release has language stating that a facsimile signature is as effective as an original signature. --BobMarleysGh0st wrote:Were you able to sign the release and e-mail an image of that back?Bob78164 wrote:E-mail attachments worked for me for both the releases and the photograph. --Bob
TheSearchIsOn wrote:The calls start going out today and the tape dates will be here fast. Figured we ought to go ahead and start a list of potential phone-a-friends for if (WHEN!) anyone here gets called.
Put your name below if you are willing and available to be a phone-a-friend on any of the tape dates. I won't be at work the last week of July so I should be available for any of those tape dates. The first week of August I'll be back to work which would make it riskier for my availability, though I haven't researched the taping times so I might still be able to be work something out.

Here are some of the strengths/weaknesses of the above mentioned people:
TheSearchIsOn - $64,000 winner on PT WWTBAM and million-point winner at PlayIt!
thealexdavis - I'm available and more than happy to help as well. Good with basically all pop culture and nearly anything
movies/music/tv related. Know a lot of sports as well. Quick Googler also. Just let me know.
EugeneF - I am available for any of the days, and I wish that the show would let me do it everyday.
My fields of knowledge include history, literature, movies, opera, politics, religion, theater, art, etymology.
Oh what the Hell, just don't ask me sports or contemporary music (rap, grudge--anything since 1980).
As for my battlefield experience, I was on the OTHER gameshow, being a five-time winner (when that was the
limit) and finishing third in my Tournament of Champions. In a special tournment, I was the first human being to
beat Frank Spangenberg.
I also have been a phone-a-friend, and answered a $125,000 question.
Jeemie - Depending on the times of the tape dates, I am available for all the days.
Specialties are science, history, sports, and fast Googling.

Oh, and I'm good with Google and have a Wikipedia account.

booboola - My area of expertise is movies. TV was well. I'm full of pop culture info.
clem21 - I'm really good with History, Geography, Current Events Sports and all the Pop Culture that whippersnappers
know about the world of music and movies. I can google too.
ulysses5019 - I'm available everyday. I know everything that wintergreen doesn't. I'm usually sleeping when the phone rings.
Others that may be available depending on schedules:
sunflower - I am a Google master.
Schliemann - i'm willing and able to be a phone a friend if needed.
i'm good on most things (geography, history, arts, sciences, social sciences, current events, sports,
whatever). if its a tv question from before the 90's don't call me.
i'm a two-time champion of the summer hiatus challenge on the sony jeopardy board.
i'm relatively young, i can handle stuff like current popular music and popular culture (i have no shame).

experience on the show myself.
Bob78164
earendel - science, math, geography, history, religion (Master of Divinity degree) and generic trivia; specialty knowledge in fantasy and science fiction literature
And the taping schedule, as provided by MarleysGh0st:
Here's the schedule that was copied from the ticket request page:
July 29th 2:45pm
July 30th 12:15pm
July 30th 3:00pm
July 31st 12:15pm
July 31st 3:00pm
August 3rd 12:15pm
August 3rd 3:00pm
August 4th 12:15pm
August 4th 3:00pm
August 5th 12:15pm
August 5th 3:00pm
The second episode of each day should probably be completed between 5 and 6.
I presume PAFs will also need to be available for a morning briefing call.
Incidentally, they don't have the July 29th date listed on the tickets page any more (booked, I presume) but they do have July 28th at 1:30 pm. That's probably a rehearsal session.
