GTPlanet vs. Wham! - Round 3 (Endorsed by George Michael!*)

[Daniel]

If someone succeeds in 'whamming' you (i.e. you PMing or messaging them the link on Facebook), then you're out. If it's on a thread disguised as another link (i.e. Super HOT NEKKID LADIES!!*) and it goes to Wham, then it's considered spam and the person might receive an infraction (just like a Rick Roll). But you'd still lose. My advice? Keep your speakers muted unless you know what you're clicking on.

*That's a Rick Roll, not Wham

Survived one and a half hours at the mall. How it didn't play I will never know.

This sounds fun! (pun not intended!)

I have a different job from last year. This involves me actually interacting with people (I know! RIGHT!?).
Also, I'll be doing the expert mode. Since the radio at work seams to play a random selection of tracks (Russian roulette), then there's this speakers placed in key points in the middle of the high street (on my way TO work) playing this sort of stuff...

Bring it on!!

 

[Stiggy]

I'll enter this again, hopefully it'll be "third-time lucky" for me. Should be ok unless a Christmas pop hits ad is shown on TV again (though there's always a mute button for that).

I almost lost the other day in Target, but I was able to "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALAL" *run out of the store right after I paid* They announced it coming up next.... sooo close. still in the game

 

[Anathema]

I'll do this.

Might have a serious disadvantage, my mother has a Wham! CD somewhere in the house... Thank God for noise-cancelling headphones, though.

BUT... I no longer have cable in my house!

I thought I was going to get a Whamming today. Went to Morrisons to get some whiskey for my grandad and Mariah Carey started screeching in the whiskey isle. I don't mean she was there in the whiskey isle, that'd be a bit weird. I meant on the speakers. Luckily some normal songs came on after that, and then I left before any more festive songs could start.

 

[The Bman]

Maybe I'll send an e-mail to McDonald's telling them to use "Last Christmas" in their advertisements...

 

[Northstar]

I played Wham! Roulette yesterday, 20 minutes of Christmas music on the radio, I survived.

 

[Dean]

I've been so close two times this week, but I didn't hear any of the song.

How do I participate on this ?

 

[Daniel]

Just post here before December 1st (which you just did) and try to avoid the song as much as you can :tup:

Just make a post saying that you want to participate. The simple goal is to avoid hearing even a microsecond of the song "Last Christmas" by Wham!. Only the original version by Wham! will eliminate you.

PS: Daniel, you should update the list of users who were Whammed!.

...wanna bet? That song plays over 150 times A DAY in ever supermarket all over the country. I know so. I worked Christmas shifts...

 

[Steele_obsidion]

*knocks on wood* i am so far winning... i can only hope....

We got a bad ass over here.

I'm sure everyone else here can find some means to get you out...

 

[Minty]

I was at Walmart today.

I heard a Christmas song...

 

[Bopop4]

I just remembered that I have a part time job at a grocery store, they use a satellite radio (Peter Gabriel & Zedd. : D) but still, uh oh...

Wait, you just remembered that you have a part-time job?
Hope your boss didn't noticed you were missing...

I just survived 6 HOURS of Christmas songs on shuffle. At the end of my shift, as I was leaving, I hear a familiar sound...was exposed to at least 2 seconds of it, so I RAN AS FAST AS I COULD! I survived, but what about next time!? UHHH???!!!

It's starting to get to me. It's kinda creepy...

 

[Bopop4]

Lol yeah, I got switched over to a different department (Too many people in produce.) and so I havn't had as many hours.

And did you actually hear the song? Because it still counts even if it's only a half second.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

I think I got ninja Whammed on the weekend. I was in the kitchen talking to my dad, and Christmas music was playing on the radio (we were commenting on how it was a bit early to be full on Christmas music already) and when I went back out to the garage to work on my car, I had Last Christmas stuck in my head...

Maybe I heard it and didn't realize it at the time or something else put it there, so I'm not sure if I'm out or not...judges?

Uh-oh...I'm...I'm not sure...I mean, it was quite, and then a I hear jingle sounds... I wasn't about to gabble and just wait there to check if it was it.

Can't remember how the actual song starts (won't even dare to check it)...so...can anyone confirm if the actual song starts with jingles? Just jingles, nothing else. If so, I may fear I just got whamed.....oh dear god...please no.. IT'S TOO SOON!!

 

[Bopop4]

You can listen to the song safely in the first post of the thread.

It's your call, just an honesty thing.
If you truly don't think that you consciously heard it, then you're not out.
But if you know in your head that you did hear it, then games's up.
Nobody can make that decision except for you. 👍

 

[The Bman]

The rules say that if you hear any part of the song, you are out. If that was part of the song, Deko, you are out.

 

[Deko Wolf-GTPT]

Oh, didn't noticed it was there honestly.
I double checked. The actual song has a cheesy 70's beat to it on the intro. The one that got me had jingles (lot of them may I add).

Safe!...but for how long?

Even though it was only 2 seconds, you just got Whammed!.

Well, well...someone is dying to see some carnage!
Tough luck buddy. But I promise you this, if I get whamen, which, considering my odds, I'll eventually will, I'll make sure to post every single grossome detail of how and where it happen, and the mental damage that my brain will suffer, how's that?

Honesty is what makes this game fun, no point cheating in something on this simple (yet addicting) game.
I even got my wife into this yesterday, so technically (even though she's not a GTP member), she's in the game with me.

You may have just doomed yourself there... She'll be out to beat you at this.

Good enough for me.

So far, nothing to report. I've cut out all unnecessary risks like I did last year. Fingers crossed, I make it two in a row.
