Challenge 16: EXTRA! EXTRA!

This challenge is once again for INDIVIDUAL immunity. The winner of this challenge may NOT be voted off the island.

HERE ARE THE RULES:

READ CAREFULLY!

1. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to get as many stories published on the BillsZone front page as possible.

2. Between now and 3pm eastern, you must use the News Submission Engine on BillsZone.com to submit BILLS stories.

3. If the story is already on the site, your story will not be used. IF the story is not about the BILLS, or not deemed worthy of front-page publication, it will not count.

4. Your story(ies) that you submit MUST be published by the site admins for you to get credit.

5. The Survivor who successfully gets the most stories published by 3pm eastern will win immunity.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You may NOT spam the Bills or Sabres forums with a bunch of useless crap!

This contest will be judged by ME and ME alone. I am the ultimate power and have all reigning authority.

IMPORTANT: As always, you MAY NOT log in as any of your teammates other than yourself to accomplish this task (ex. player #1 may not log in as player #6 and earn ZBs/buy a lottery ticket for them). I can see when you do that. You're on your honor, but I will be checking.

Mods and admins may not use any special powers to gain advantage or help others in this challenge.

Failure to comply with the above rules may result in a warning, or your IMMEDIATE disqualification from this challenge.

Good luck!

READ THE RULES CAREFULLY, AS ALWAYS! You are responsible to know the rules!

post all your questions below...

This is a new low. Make me go to the front page.

At least there shouldn't be as many mistakes today.

What if we wrote an article for a different reason, but never submitted it, can we use an original piece?

Let's go slackers!

Our staff is not going to wait for you guys and not publish stories just because you clowns are on some easter egg hunt.

Since this challenge was posted, 3 more juicy bits of news went up on the front page.....your supply is rapidly dwindling

I'm not exactly sure on what we're doing here..

We have to write Buffalo Bills articles? Ack.. I don't know anything about them.. and on the main page? Buffalobills.com?

Where do we get info from? Do we copy and paste another article? I have no idea how to do this.. and I've never even been on the main page of BillsZone.com.....

People-

When entering hte date, put in TODAYS date, not the date on the article itself.

Otherwise, if you find an article and put in 3/10 as the date,, it will shouw up under the news for 3/10, not today's.

Doh, here I was working on the front page, and saw all these new submissions before I saw this challenge. (It's the first place I go in the morning)

So that means you lost a few more articles. :evil:

And I published some that I thought were news worthy.

Oh and log, I won't take the day off, until I go to work that is.

As far as wrong dates go, I changed them to get them on the front page. That does not disqualify a story.


If I get one more "Meet Tim Kumrie" story with a link to a bio page, :mad: If it said "Meet" I hit "delete"


EE Don't you read the rules? WTF does Chris Gratton have to do with the Bills? I must have deleted a dozen Sabre stories. Take them to www.sabresinsider.com they need all the help they can get.


Any stories earlier than 3/10 were deleted. This is news, not "olds" Price got traded? Really? STOP THE PRESSES!

I'll give EE some credit. If the guy stopped at the Clarence rest area on the Thruway to take a :pee: and there was a story out there on him, he found it. Ron Jaworski and Ernie Davis - DELETE

(allthough Ernie was a 1st rd draft pick of the Bills)


Gunz- a roster is not a news story. Plus, this is BILLSZONE, not the Jets Zone. Who gives a crap about Laverneous Coles? Oh, wait...the Jets Bus must have stopped at the Clarence rest stop at the Thruway..........DELETE


MissB beat you by a hair on the WNSA update



Geesh, I feel like Simon on American Idol

Two places to look-

Use Google, type in Buffalo Bills, and then hit the "News" tab. It gives you all that's out there.

No one went to any of the draft pages- there is ton of stuff Bills related there.

Gratton choking last nite was a good story.

Boy Lou, you sure set a high standard. :eek:

That Joe D story was dated, but good.

And I thought for sure the Elmira Flash would get me a point. :snicker:

Dated doesn't kill a story- if we ran it once, then we don't run it again
