Come one, come all to those who feel they are made of the right stuff to enrol in my clown school.
Are you up to entertaining the galaxy in a slightly creepy and even scary (to some) manner while wearing copious amounts of makeup and making loud honking noises? If so then please sign below and let the fun commence!

This is my Christmas giveaway come early. How it will work is this:

To enter this giveaway you need to create a character for me. To do this you need to give your character a name. You also need to tell me what your character is - for example, he could be a giant bunny with psychic powers. Maybe a human accountant with the power to bore people to sleep.
Here is a link to my first fight club giveaway to give you an idea of the characters people created https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_first_rule_of_fight_club_is_giveaway/page1

In order to be accepted into clown school there are 5 activities to participate and hopefully do well in.
These are:

1 - Drive a comically small vehicle while balancing multiple objects.
2 - Alien (?) pie-flinging contest.
3 - Make a group of children laugh/scream while simultaneously building me a garden shed.
4 - Trapeze as a pair inside an active volcano.
5 - Make balloon animals/monsters while face painting your partner.

You will be paired with another wannabe clown and how well you do in each event will be decided by a dice roll. You will not actually see what the dice score is though, just the actions that it brings about.
I will then choose two of your fellow trainee clowns at random to mark your performance from 1 - 5.

As such chat needs to be set to public so that I can communicate with you as I need.
This giveaway is open to all Goglodytes and will start in 2 - 3 weeks time.
Post below if you want to join in and start thinking of the form your clown will take.

*** JOINING IS NOW CLOSED ***

Yay - I always love your giveaways, and very much not only for the prizes (though I do admit to loving those, too *g* - thank you as always for your generosity!)

My name is Orig'lat. I am an ancient nearly-deaf dwarven matron with advanced arthritis, part of a minor House, and somehow 17th in line to the throne (I used to be 185th, but a curious series of coincidences around the time of increased Goblin raids a couple of years ago caused quite some upheaval in the line of succession). Unfortunately, my memory is not working so well, so I'm not currently aware of this fact. I firmly believe that the arthritis isn't really all that bad - I still apply my make-up myself without any issues! (Even if my eyesight isn't the best anymore, so judging the result in the mirror is hard; but I just apply an extra dose (and sometimes - like this morning - I forget if I already did so, and re-apply just to be certain...), and then I can see just fine that my cheeks look nice and rosy.)

I just left the dwarven tunnels a couple of hours ago to see where my two grandsons have gone off to (it's been several years since they were last seen, but well, y'know, my memory...), and got turned around a bit. I'm sure I'll refind the entrance soon, but meanwhile I've been wandering around semi-aimlessly. I saw this here place on the other side of a glowy portal, and thought I could ask to use the bathroom - but instead a sign up form was shoved into my hands. Maybe their bathrooms are really popular or something? I'd better fill in the form swiftly!

Thank you for the giveaway!

My name is Walden and I'm from Wimbledon, England. Since my early 20s I've been diagnosed with an acure tennis elbow and haven't been able to make whipped cream. My best experience has been as a stand-up comedian, although my audience get usually so bored that they also get a tennis elbow after they've been leaning on their elbows to keep their heads up.

After my recent visit in the Wimbledon tennis tournament, I was given an lifelong ban when I decided to make a prank by changing the tennis rackets with cricket bats. The monarchy weren't pleased and it didn't make things any better after I tried to make it up with canned whipped cream.

After the incident I've been strolling across England until I encountered this forum.


EDIT: should we list games in preference in case of a possible win? Like in the last giveaway you linked as an example.

I'm in!
Thanks Doc for another character creation giveaway! I'll be treating this like a sequel to last year's fight club giveaway.

Captain BenKii's Log Stardate 101379.06

After the events of the Inter-dimensional Fight Club from last year, the consciousnesses of all the BenKii's throughout the multiverse were merged into one being known simply as "The BenKii". Due to the valiant efforts of the USS Freedom's crew, they were able to separate those multiple personalities and returned them to their respective dimensions. Don't ask me how they did it, the techno-babble is too much for my brain to recite. I am now back to being just Captain BenKii and have returned to my duties captaining my ship.

"I'm not sure how to describe it." said Captain BenKii to his first officer Kyper on the bridge of the Freedom, "I was me but I also wasn't me. I was every BenKii all at once. It's hard to comprehend now that I'm back to being just me again."

"Well I can tell you the crew is happy to just have one BenKii again." said Kyper.

The Captain nodded in agreement. Just then, a flash of light appeared and in its place was a letter in the palm of BenKii's hand. The Captain turned to look at the now materialized letter in his hand, "No doubt this is Q's doing. I wonder what he's up to this time." He read the letter and it was an invitation to enroll in a clown school. "Kyper, what do you make of this?"

"Fascinating but also perplexing. There is always a reason to Q's madness. Perhaps we should go to the indicated coordinates and investigate."

"Indeed but just one problem. The only way to participate is if we can do all of these clown activities. I don't know about you but I've never trapeze inside a volcano before and I can't just call on a BenKlown from another universe to go do it."

Indeed this was a problem. Starfleet officers were trained in many things but being a clown was not one of them. But then Kyper had an idea, "Perhaps we could design a holo-character to enroll in the clown school and program him with the skills and knowledge Earth history's greatest clowns."

"Make it so." ordered BenKii

"You know that phrase is copyrighted." joked Kyper

BenKii facepalmed himself and there was a little laugh from the bridge crew as the USS Freedom warped toward the coordinates of the Clown School.


Character Name:
Ben Klownskii

Bio:
A holographic character programmed with the skills and knowledge of the greatest clowns from across time. Including but not limited to Bozo the Clown, Weary Willie, Krusty the Clown, Buggy the Star Clown, The Joker, etc. The character is programmed to infiltrate the clown school while performing several of the required clown activities. Upon completion of the tasks, Ben Klownskii will report back his findings to the USS Freedom orbiting above the planet.

WARNING: Due to several clown personalities being downloaded at once, mental instability is highly likely. Advise caution when interacting with holo-character.
Gee look at that list of prizes, but I have to pass this for reasons.

Thanks for all the happiness you spread around this forum Doc.

Doc0075: Post below if you want to join in and start thinking of the form your clown will take.
Thank you as always Doc, for these amusing annual themed giveaways! I'd like to be in:-

My character is Burt the Screaming Hairy Armadillo (yes that's a real thing).

Burt got bored of his native South American habitat, always dreamed of joining a circus and has set out to become the best clown on Earth. Covered in natural armour that shields him from physical damage & high falls, thick hair that protects him from cannon launch chafing, tiny hands just perfect for throwing miniature custard pies, a small stature that fits perfectly into undersized clown vehicles, and a screaming vocal effect (that sounds particularly useful to distract the competition when used during their volcanic trapeze act at just the right moment...), Burt believes he stands a pretty good chance at beating all the other amateur jesters this year and bringing home the Clown King trophy to the greatly under-represented Armadillo Circus Performer scene. :-)

There is no need to make a list, I will ask people at the end in order of how highly they have scored. That way they will be able to see what games are still available.
This seems like fun, I can try to make a clown.

I am Bartosh the Clown Bear. Despite the name, I am not a bear, just incredibly hairy. The fact I am two meters tall, have a long face and really like honey is completely coincidental. I repeat, I am definitely not a bear with a pointy clown hat on a unicycle.
I actually fear bears and cannot stand looking at them. My hatred of mirrors is completely unrelated to this, so please refrain from any reflective surfaces or bear shaped paraphernalia.

I am most skilled at making balloon animals, provided such baloons are very thick and sturdy, as normal balloons tend to burst due to my cla- nails.
I repeat, I am not a bear of any variety. I mean, have you ever seen a chain smoking bear on a unicycle with a clown hat? Exactly, so I cannot possibly be a bear.

Doc0075, thank you for this deliciously-peculiar, as well as enormously-generous, offering.

Character
00110000

Description
00110000 is an ordinary human, except for the instilled belief that they are actually an android. Excessive time spent with computers has caused this person to gradually come to the (mistaken) conclusion, that since inception (birth), they have been erroneously-categorized, and now identify with cold, unfeeling microprocessors.

00110000 has a rather expressionless/deadpan style of humor, which may be easily overlooked, but, this is precisely how the audience is lulled into a false sense that no surprises are in store. 00110000 is deceptively-capable, in that they are able to perform a wide-variety of acts to satisfy the whims of all types of circus spectators. Ultimately, to please, is the primary aim of 00110000; "can not" and "will not" do not exist within the internal database of utterable phrases.

God is the all-powerful creator of the universe. Death's a joke and life's a laugh because it was made by the ultimate cosmic clown. In the beginning was the word and the word was "I wanna be accepted into clown school." A hyper-dimensional omnipotent being with the ability to manipulate quantum probabilities to generate any desired outcome in the infinite parallel universes of the multiverse, God also likes red noses and water-squirting flowers.

I’m a teenage purple-colored male unicorn. Why purple? I don’t know. Do you think I like it?! Especially since all others of my race are either pink or white! A teacher of mine (a wise owl) once said in class that some centuries ago in a faraway place, there lived a bird-like creature with a unique characteristic among the others around him (I don’t remember what that was) and that he saved his race from the enemy! I’m not sure I believed that, but God I hope it’s true. Maybe I’ll do something important too! I’m hopeful.

Oh, my name’s Peema [from the greek word “ποίημα” (poem)]. I was named thus, as my other ability, except my purple colour, is that I can compose and recite poems truly easily, and I do it in a way that would enchant others listening to me! Hopefully, I will master it enough, to make others do my bidding (hahahahaha…)!

For now, I just try to use it to date HER. A magnificent drakaina, the most beautiful in class. Will I be able to make it? I must train some more…
