The PPT Apprentice 3 Signups [IMPORTANT NOTICE! MUST READ]

Welcome to the PPT Apprentice 3! Yes, we're back and this time, with newer twists, newer challenges and of course, newer competitors. The PPT Apprentice is meant to challenge your intelligence, creativity and of course, your determination to succeed.

But wait, you have never played the game? Than read the following paragraph as it will explain the rules. And if you have played this game before, read it anyways because some new twists are revealed.

The PPT Apprentice, that is what I'm looking for, someone who upholds the name of PPT and can live up to its reputation. Every week, I will give each team a task and a deadline. All tasks must be handed in by the deadline or else, it's an automatic firing. This applys to everyone unless you have a valid reason. The judges and I will evaluate your entries and discuss on who we think should be fired. We will also discuss who did the best job and that person will recieve an exemption from being fired in the next job. However, this does not mean that person can slack off. If they do not do anything in the next task without a valid reason, they will be fired.

Next is the boardroom. The boardroom is a place where you hope you never see. You never want to be in the boardroom but alas, many of you will be in there and many of you, will be fired. Each boardroom, two candidates will be fired. Remember, if you have exemption, you cannot be fired. The day after the boardroom, a new task along with a deadline will be given. This will continue till there is one person remaining and that person will become the PPT Apprentice.

The Boardroom

This is one place which you do not want to attend. The boardroom will determine the fate of the candidates. Every boardroom, 2 candidates will be fired. If you try your hardest, you will not end up in this position.

The PPT Apprentice 3 will be postponed until July 20 which will be the new signup day.

This has never happened before but I realise many exams are happening and trips are taking place. Therefore, the signup board will be re-opened on July 20 and will continue to be open until the candidate positions have been filled.

If you have already sent an application, I will keep it in a folder and it will be revisted around July 20th. Thank you for your co-operation.

This season, we will be having teams. I wanted to try something new. Hopefully, you all enjoy it.

Ooh, sounds intriguing! Ammer, can I apply to join, even though I was the first PPT Apprentice?

Sun Jun 19, 2005 11:55 am

Will this competition require activity during 6th to 14th July? If I am absent that week, may I still participate?

Sun Jun 19, 2005 12:31 pm

I'd sign up, but I'll be gone for the second half of July, so I'll just wait for PPTA 4

Sun Jun 19, 2005 3:32 pm

I applied! w00t! Hope I'm chosen.

You can participate but you'd have to ask whichever team your on if you can sit that week out.

If it's for a valid reason (Your absence) I will exempt you from being fired.

The team idea is cool, I tried to put it into my current game but it hasn't worked well.

Yup this is my first PPT apprentice experience so I'm hoping it will be fun *pats everyone on the head*
