Alright, I've been considering this idea a lot lately and I want to know what you all think. I want to make my own version of 'Whose Line is it Anyway' and I have many plans for it. I've made up several games, some from the actual show and some of my own creation. I will actually award points (not many, but I do award) to the best person in each game, and after winning 3 games I'll give out a rep to that member (I'm still working this one out, but it's coming along).

Anyway, there are problems with it. For one thing, it could get spammy, so I'm working on that. Also, people might take offense and it could become a trollfest. However, I think it could be pulled off and this is also the problem for every Club/Organization made as well.

What do you think? Please vote and if you would give me your opinions.

@Mako, even there? Geez that sucks...well, I'll quote it then.

[font=sans-serif][size=2][i][b][quote]Whose Line Is It Anyway?[/b][/i] (abbreviated to [i][b]Whose Line?[/b][/i] or [i][b]WLIIA[/b][/i]) is a short-form [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_comedy"]improvisational comedy[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_show"]TV show[/url]. Originally a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom"]British[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio"]radio[/url]programme, it moved to television in 1988 as a series made for the UK's [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_4"]Channel 4[/url]. Following the conclusion of the British run in 1998, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company"]ABC[/url] began airing a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whose_Line_Is_It_Anyway%3F_(U.S._TV_series)"]version with the same name[/url] for the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States"]United States[/url] audience, which lasted 8 seasons.

The show consisted of a panel of four [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performer"]performers[/url] who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games, many taken from [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatresports"]theatresports[/url]. Topics for the games were based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host. Both the British and the American shows ostensibly took the form of a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_show"]game show[/url] with the host arbitrarily assigning points and likewise choosing a winner at the end of each episode. However, the show lacked the true stakes and competition of a game show.[/quote]

@Archwing, thanks man! Yeah, the random trolls will be the tough ones...but, overall, I think it has the potential to do more good than harm. I'm hoping for mod feedback though for the most part, because I don't want this just to be locked before it has the chance to take off.

Bad idea dude...

Why? I appreciate feedback and would like to know why. Also, I always accept ideas for improvement.

Also, I guess I should explain. This is based off of Whose Line, but there will be differences because I don't want this to be Club Random. For example, not all of the games will be comedic in nature, and they all will be games.

Party Quirks will be hard to transcribe, so I'll need to make up some rules for that

Greatest Hits I will try to do if it isn't too hard.

If You Know What I Mean will be good if it isn't too dirty, I'll want to keep it mildly clean. No majorly bad words.

Questions Only may or may not work, it'll probably be too easy. I might have to impose a time limit.

Two Line Vocabulary would be fun, that will be there.

Let's Make a Date is similar to Party Quirks, so same rules will apply

Improbable Mission will be pretty fun

Weird Newscasters will be similar to the Party Quirks and Let's Make a Date, so same rules will apply

I've been thinking about these things a good bit.

Edit: Film and Theater Styles: I don't know if I could pull it off...but if I can I will.

Here's wikipedia's entry: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whose_line_is_it_anyway"]http://en.wikipedia....ne_is_it_anyway[/url]

Here are episodes: [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/livingis4giving#p/c/0ABEFC032492F46E"]http://www.youtube.c...ABEFC032492F46E[/url]

Edit: For those of you who don't know, this is a show that originally started in England, then came to the US and was hosted for 9 years or so by Drew Carey, featuring the talents of Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, Chip Esten, Jeff Davis, Josie Lawrence, etc.

There have also been many famous people to join in, such as Whoopie Goldberg, Robin Williams, Stephen Colbert, etc.
