Title: Whamagedon 2022
Post by: BrotherTobious on November 30, 2022, 01:05:19 PM
Well Ladies and Gents

I feel I have to remind you that Whamagedon is live in 4 Hours time!!!!

So start preparing, you still have time to get that bargain basement price on some Noise cancelling Can in Black Friday, de tune every radio in the house, remove it from the guilty pleasures' playlist and cancel you family membership to google music, Spotify, YouTube. Remove the aerial from the car and claim its not working due to a huge EMP strike from a giant solar flair from the sun has hit the planet and will only get worse as we reach the winter equinox. Be prepared to host all video conferences so you have control of the mute others button.

I tell you Ladies and Gents it may sound like this year will be easier due to the situation we are all in but let me warn you, Look in to to my eye and believe me this thing is unstoppable it can leak in from you neighbours too!!!!

Sign up below if you are going to play.

Here are the rules

THE FIRST RULE:

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO GO AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT HEARING WHAM'S CHRISTMAS CLASSIC; "LAST CHRISTMAS".
THE SECOND RULE:

THE GAME STARTS ON DECEMBER 1ST, AND ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ON DECEMBER 24TH.

THE THIRD RULE:

ONLY THE ORIGINAL VERSION APPLIES. ENJOY THE #!â,¬#%!â,¬%â,¬&OUT OF REMIXES AND COVERS.

THE FOURTH RULE:

YOU'RE OUT AS SOON AS YOU RECOGNISE THE SONG.

BONUS RULE:
PVP?

WHILE WE CAN'T STOP YOU FROM DELIBERATELY SENDING YOUR FRIENDS TO WHAMHALLA, THE INTENTION IS THAT THIS IS A SURVIVAL GAME. NOT A BATTLE ROYALE. SO ... DON'T BE A DICK, MKAY?

These rules and things have been lovingly stolen from Wamageddon.com (https://www.whamageddon.com/)

Also I would like to hear of some daring do, like deliberate going to a Xmas market or Party, and survival!!

Along with creative ways of how you were sent to the great 80's hall of glam Whamhalla!!!!

A personal thanks to DiseasedBunny (https://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/member.php?4479-DiseasedBunny) for bringing this amazing game to my attention!!

Good luck out there and Stay Frosty!!

The Chosen Few


Our Fallen Freinds


The Surviours

Let's go! I spent so little time in shops these day I might actually make it far.
 Last year I worked in a shop with the radio on, I probably failed in the early hours on the first:D

Count me in, I actually mentioned this yesterday while driving in the car with my wife and guess which song came on...

I think I have an unfair advantage as all radios are tuned to Planet Rock and I don't go shopping in venues that are likely to play this.
So count me in suckers!!! :D

Might as well sign up, I'm clean so far.

Time to switch the alarm from local radio. Actually, nah, I like the danger.

Heard it in Sainsbury's tonight. I would've been saved by listening to a podcast if it hadn't been for Uni coming shopping with me :'(

Oh god I just sat down to get my haircut and the radio is on.

Into the breach I go. Wish me luck.

haha I'm counting myself out as I'm at two Christmas parties next week. Between the hotel, the O2 and the restaurants it's a lost cause. That said, I'm organising Axe throwing so could possibly get brained before I'm Whamagedoned :-)

I was fixing a heat sensor area near the diligent Amazon packers today when a covertly placed radio sent me to the clearing at the end of the path.

another victim falls to the Wham.

Went out side for some more logs to put on our log burner and next door builders radio started blasting it out before I could get back indoors. Bad enough I have to put up with the noise of their extension being built let alone to be shot with bad xmas music in my own garden.

It was my work  Xmas night out last night and I didn't expect to last the night but also didn't expect it to be playing in the first pub I went into, as soon as I got in the door!  To really rub it in, they played it three times in the 90 minutes  I was there.

Make  space at the table, Wham blasted through work's radio at 3am last night, bringing me to my knees in defeat. May the ale be cold and the reindeer salty!

It is with a heavy heart I admit defeat.
My own stupidity got me as I absentmindedly opened my Facebook feed while waiting for a server reboot last night.
To those left behind; may the odds be in your favor these last few days!

so update, went out shopping on the 23rd and was in the apple shop in Nottingham, a guy wonders in telling his wife he had just been whammed. apparently it was playing in the shopping centre, but the apple store had the weird apple music playing, whamageddon avoided....result!!!  

rest of the day heard lots of xmas music, but none were the dreaded song.

Sulks safe,
