I'd prefer Australian dollars.thylasos said:A lack of privacy for a year, with no obligation to work and everything catered for me? For US$10 million?
Bingo. Though I'd probably use it to get myself into shape, because without internet access (and no way to find a language teacher, being a closed community) it could be quite difficult to learn a language 9difficult enough that it may take more than a year to do it).It's a no-brainer, really.
For me, it'd be a year of (from the description) watching DVDs of classic comedy, drinking nice booze, and teaching myself a new language, and/or reading vast numbers of interesting books, with relatively few distractions.
You'd get used to it in two weeks.
I like my idea. People wanna see you at your most vulnerable? Let 'em have it:Bek359 said:It might be interesting to try it, just for the challenge of getting privacy, through sabotaging cameras, taking advantage of blind spots, and generally not exactly going along with the scheme. Probably get kicked out, but what the hell. I'd at least be an interesting contestant. People love a magnificent bastard.
That made me burst out laughing. I would use it as a way to scare people off of the website and out of the village. I'd act like a serial killer, constantly have a feed on one of the people just so they realized how much I watched them. Start carving their name into the wall of my room while looking at the camera and laughing. I'd sit at night for a few hours saying some psycho stuff while covering my face to laugh or using that time to breathe heavily outside of their window.ravensheart18 said:The hook would be the interrelationships that make the drama on most reality shows.Therumancer said:I'd agree to it, but without some kind of gimmick involved I couldn't see this getting much viewership. I doubt many people would pay money to see me hang out and play video games or whatever.
You will get bored and start camera stalking the pretty girl two doors down. She will see this in the logs and get the big guy down the street she wants to look at her to threaten you. You will respond by jerking off on camera while calling out her name. etc...
Same actually. For 6mill I'd even do a little dance every morning. It's not a very difficult choice.Rawne1980 said:That would make it £6.379.000 British pounds.
I think I could manage that.
I'd even do it naked.
As much as I hate reality tv, as it is the scum of the planet, 10 million bucks is a lot of money, and if its free to live there, then hell, sounds alright to me.balanovich said:Imagine living in a small suburban neighborhood. And if you manage to live there for 1 year (you can quit whenever you want), you will win 10 million dollars. This is a closed community. You contact the outside world. You can purchase food and stuff from a controlled provider.
The catch is this is a ZERO privacy place. There are cameras and microphones EVERYWHERE, in every room of your house, even the bathrooms. All the streets and backyards are observed. The cameras are HD and equipped with night and thermal vision.
There are computers everywhere and anyone can use them to spy on any neighbor. All your spying logs are accessible to everyone meaning everybody knows what everybody is doing. You are forced to wear a small bracelet that marks you on the system.
To make it worst, this is a reality show. There is a selection of footage that is shown 2 hours a day on public television. Paying subscribers can have permanent access to all the cameras and microphones. So they can spy on you!
Remember, you have no internet or phones or any means of reaching the outside world. You can order more or less anything through controlled means. For free. So it's a nice life with no obligation and nothing to do.... except watching and being watched.
Would you agree to live there ? If you can stay for a year, you win 10 million dollars!
Ooh! This sounds like a good movie. I'm going to look it up later, and hopefully get it on netflix.The87Italians said:There's a movie that's pretty similar to this concept called the Truman Show.
The only difference is that he doesn't have any idea he's on tv. Even for a Jim Carrey movie, it's pretty good.
OT: Yeah for 10 mil, I'd do it. I don't mind lack of privacy as long as everyone there isn't some paranoid freak who's always looking over there shoulders.
Then God help us all.TonyCapa said:what if its on Pay-Per-View?CthulhuMessiah said:It would be a year of me constantly being naked, this way they can't air anything with me in it.
Easy $10 million.
