OMG!!! We will find out tonite
WHO GETS THE IMMUNITY IDOL?!!
Watch for the big reveal of the Sacred Idol in this thread tonight closer to 9PM CST.
Along with that I explain how the Idol works, it's great power, but also the dark curse comes with it.
More importantly, I'll also announce the title of Chapter 1 ...a cool start to your stories laying out the crazy fun challenge you'll have 'til Weds. night to complete and post. You'll spend maybe 30 min. or a bit more to get it where you like. Could do it in about minute or two if you really wanted... but that would be dang risky.
Nice start to the game, hoping you fellas are getting a charge. Here in the background last couple days, I caught me some kind of awful head cold. Feels like I'm underwater, haven't been sleeping, hardly got any real shop work done working on this, but she's now all mostly planned out, I just gotta keep ahead of you guys building each chapter.
Very pleased to see the buy-in and general camaraderie and participation on display already. It's a dance here behind the scenes timing all this stuff, assembling, try to be accurate and inclusive, so if I eff up please bear with me.
See something that doesn't work, wrong, odd or out of place? PM me. I'll try to get on it ASAP thanks!
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?
You guys can give, and take it too - that's where the real joy is to be found! Really try to make this an interactive experience where the most fun is in the playing, not the winning.
(Which is what all those losers try to make us believe.)

OMG!!! What a round, what excitement! What a battle! But you gotta kinda know, you ain't seen nothing yet!
I am pleased to announce the WINNER of the Qualifying Games of Toanz Prologue Challenge is: @Jethro Rocker
You have proven yourself worthy of a Major Award and the first participant to earn temporary immunity from elimination
BEHOLD!
Feast your eyes upon the Game of Toanz Hand-Rubbed Obelisk of Mighty Toanwood! AKA “Woody.”
'Tis an extremely powerful talisman signifying the alpha male virility and vitality of the few skilled enough to earn it.
Carved with the ancient sacred knowledge of tribal elders deep in the Swahili Rain Forest, it has been crafted from the rarest,
most resonant Koa toanwood ever harvested. This rare idol positively exudes a magical aura protecting the bearer from
being "kicked out of the band,” (or game) via poll/vote elimination rounds. Whoa!
Now the bad news. Read CAREFULLY.
Heavy Burden
Be verily warned such great power carries a dark curse. To signify your awesome Rock Star Energy and dominance over the pack, the current bearer of “The Idol” MUST add the idol to any and all posts they make in Game of Toanz threads, main and voting while they hold it. Failure to do so will be punished by immediate loss of the idol. If you find it misplaced, first check with your wife or girlfriend. But, if another watchful competitor sees it has been "lost" or “dropped” from a GOT post you have made, he should immediately claim it for himself a quickly as possible via a post. Valid during regular gameplay and voting periods. If I, your GameMaster sees it has been forgotten, I will notify everyone it is now out of play. A wondrous and valuable asset, "Woody" may also be passed between players as a gift if one so chooses, to build camraderie or an alliance, but only outside of a voting period. The Idol may also held by the same contestant for multiple chapters, but must be given up if lost in via immunity challenge. No Arguments.
Please join me again, in congratulating @Jethro Rocker once again.
But I must remind the rest of you thusly: Half of the 18 Prologue Faces of Toan contestants earned but ONE or NO votes at all.
You will need to do far better moving forward to survive the grueling battlefield that is Rock 'n Roll to succeed in The Game of Toanz!
Chapter one coming in a few minutes.

Please press play and read on.
Just look at the smarmy grin on that
head. He's definitely up to something UNGOOD!
Perhaps it’s The Chapter One of the Elimination Challenge of the TTR Game of Toanz!!!
Now it gets real my friends.
Chapter 1
Firm on your decided path towards universal stardom, you suddenly see your personal stable of instruments anew, finding it wanting. It’s clear you must seek “The One,” a deadly musical axe worthy of wielding in Rock/Roll battle which will carry you t’wards the stars. Unfortunately, your wallet is yet to enjoy the love of any paying gigs or record deal cash, and boy you need some of that action! A little cash to fuel your big, big dream.
You got that musty old thing came to you after Uncle Walt died, and that other one you toiled so very hard for laying paving bricks the summer you turned fifteen. What to do? Neither of them are flashy like the sweet bitchin’ axes on the wall at Guitar Depot!! And your amp? That thing? Definitely got none of the “flap your pants legs” kind of massive power you’re gonna to need melt faces on the stadium scene.
It's time to sacrifice & sell for the greater good. Which one you gonna move? Is there a some sucker out there dumb enough to want this crap?
Your task:
Create one post in this thread as a “FOR SALE ON CRAIGSLIST” advertisement. Needs to include at least 2 pictures of your current lesser-most guitar & amp currently in your stable and a detailed description. ONCE POSTED, you cannot edit your words or your photos. LEAVE IT BE.
So, be careful, take your time and post wisely! Salesmanship and creativity are of utmost importance to get this deal done! Be sure to include minimum two pictures and your asking price. You ultimate task here is to utterly compel some sucker to shell out as much as you figure you can get, maybe a little more, given what you are offering. Just like reading the advertising copy at guitarfetish.com, common sense, truth or reality have absolutely no bearing. But be a bit real on price, as you ARE in a hurry to raise quick cash.
CONVINCE US ALL this is in fact THE GUITAR DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!!
White lie about provenance & upgrades. Misguide and grossly misrepresent. Demonstrate how this incredible combo is worth far more than the sum of it’s aftermarket parts. Throw in what you will. Don’t forget to mention how very difficult it’s going to be to say farewell to such fine, beautiful gear, when you are forced to hand it off the the oh-so-very-fortunate new owner.
IMPORTANT: This is an Elimination Round. Contestant with the Lowest number of votes will be exited from further Game of Toanz play. The Immunity Idol holder must still participate, will be in the poll, but even with lowest final score, CANNOT be voted out, as long as he holds the idol. In that case the next lowest will get the bunt.
Craigsliszt Composer posts are due prior to 9pm CST Wednesday March 1st. Once submissions are in, I will again post two poll vote threads. Failure to post in time will also result in ejection. In the event of a tied vote for loser, the last, or later post of the two will be declared the Chapter 1 loser, and ejected. COUNTDOWN TIMER DEADLINE
I absolutely encourage non-contestants to build their own crazy CraigsLizst Compositions, but please save them to post when I open the judging threads on Wednesday night. Contestants ONLY here in this thread.
NOTE: If anyone actually sells your substandard junk gear for a large and unexpected windfall, I’ll be happy with 30%. Thank you.
Ready SET ... BULL!
