WHAT UP: here's the application for BBLJ10: _____________ (theme TBA). The experience of playing LiveJournal games online is completely and utterly free, costing only a bit of your time each week to play in competitions and socialize with other contestants. This game is tentatively scheduled to launch ar the beginning or middle of July and run for 2-3 months. If you are going to sign up to play, please be prepared to make a commitment to check the LiveJournal community at least once a day. Many people check their Facebooks, MySpaces, and Twitters 50+ times a day, so visiting this page once a day isn't asking too much.
All contestants will be brand new participants. Unfortunately, we're not allowing veterans like BBLJ8 or BBLJ9. Especially if you played in the All-Stars season, God only knows why you'd think you'd be able to play again. Players will be required to write two Diary Room e-mails in the "game week". Game weeks are not like calender weeks. Players should also plan on investing a little bit of time on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM for those that are acronym savvy) each day or every other day to make new friends with your fellow houseguests. Do you think you have what it takes to win one of these games? Then what are you waiting for? The application can be found below. Yeah, it’s pretty lengthy, but remember we want the best of the best of the best...of the best!

21 QUESTIONS & THEN SOME
The following questions will be completely random. Please answer these to the best of your ability and do not use just one word for an answer. Explain your answers, but if you don’t want to, that’s your perogative. However, it just might cost you a spot in the game. We want to know what type of person you are and we can’t see that if you don’t tell us. The questions aren't too revealing, so if you're one of those people that like to keep yourself ~*mostly hidden on the intarwebs, you'll be fine.
1. This game will more than likely last two months or more. Are you willing to commit the time to this game?
2. What circumstances (besides family emergency or if you get derailed by a car or something) would you quit the game?
3. Do you have a digital device (webcam, camera, cellphone) in which to take pictures? If not, why not? Do you have a friend that would be cool enough to let you borrow it?
4. Does said device record video as well? It's perfectly fine if it doesn't, we just need to know if we have to chuck certain competitions in the chance that you don't.
5. Do you have any vacations planned between now and the end of the year?
6. Why should we cast you? What makes you that much greater than the other people trying to win a spot in this game?
7. Have you played any online reality games on LiveJournal? (BigBrother_LJ, BigBrotherUK_LJ, Games_LJ, One_Shot_Games, OnlineSurvivor, Sparkle_Palace, or SurvivorLJ) If so, which ones and how did you place?
8. Have you played any online reality games not hosted on LiveJournal? (EZBoards, yuku, Facebook) If so, which ones and how did you place?
9. What’s more important: friendship or winning BBLJ10? Meaning, which would you rather walk away with from this game and you may not choose “both” as your answer.
10. If given the chance to travel to into space, would you? Who and what would you bring with you?
11. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
12. Let's say you're shopping at your local Target department store. Let's say you've purchased all your goodies and you're sashaying through the parking lot to your brand new Cadillac convertible (hey, dreams do come true). Before you reach the car door, you see not just a 50 spot on the ground, but you see ten other 50 dollar bills. (For the math illiterate, that's $500). So you bend and snap, clutching all that money in your sweaty palms. What is your next move?
13. Should abortion remain legal or should women have to grow through with everything if they become preggers, no matter how they were enseminated?
14. What is your favorite planet? Unfortunately, Pluto is not an option since he/she was blacklisted from the solar system a couple years ago.
15. If you could create a law, what would it be? Why?
16. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
17. What has been the single most greatest moment of your life thus far? Why?
18. If you could bring anyone with you inside the house, who would it be and why?
19. Who is your favorite Big Brother contestant (from the real show)? Why?
20. Besides the United States (or the country you currently live in) where else would you have liked to have spent your childhood growing up?
21. To which charity will you be donating the $200 cash prize to? Please provide a link.
IMPORTANT - Please attach at least two photos of yourself (more than two is perfectly ok, we all get indecisive sometimes) to the application for use in the game with cast banners, YouTubes, etc. Applications without photos will not be considered.
E-mail your application to enterprise.bblj@gmail.com. The deadline to do so, as of right now, is being set for Monday, July 1st. Of course, if BBLJ9 is not finished by then, obviously everything - including the launch night - will have to be pushed back. Regardless of that, this gives you a month to make your decision. Comments will be screened in the event that you are just a lazy bum bum and want to comment your application. Remember, the deadline is July 1st, so get crackin'!
