Having a look at the WWTBAM ActiveWorlds rules and it is wrong in my opinion. No time limit on the FIRST five questions? It would make much more sense in my opinion to have no time limit for the LAST five questions like the UK TV version did in its last few years. Or better yet, have time limits on all questions. Questions 1-5 would be 15 seconds Questions 6-10 would be 30 seconds Questions 11-14 would be 45 seconds Question 15 would be 60 seconds Except the UK contestants can't use their laptops or computers to look up the answers like our players can (and they have). No time limit on the first five accounts for joke answers, while allowing it to get serious afterwards. Our rules are refined after 12 years of experience. While they may not be considered fair to some, they are necessary to prevent at least a little bit of cheating. |

quick heads up! I'll be in under the name of "wwtbamfangameruk" Excellent! I saw you were in a few times already. Just remember that the studio is in the world called Aurora, under your Worlds list in the tab view, usually on the left. Looking forward to seeing you there! Of course, I recommend joining the Skype call for the best experience, even if it's just to listen. Add BigBucksTV to your contacts to be included in the call. |

Tonight, I took the time to rebuild my Millionaire logo for the first time in about four years, and here's the result. Old ones on the left, new on the right.  |

I like the newer logo, bringing back the originality of the logo with the modern touch up with 3D elements! Nice work!

I went back in and made the new logo even darker and more pilot-esque. I relaxed the opacity of the watermark a little so you guys can see the spotlight-like effects in the outer ring.  |

This gets better and better, the "Pilot" logo is much better!

The attention to detail and amount of hard work you put into these are simply amazing! Both logos look really good, but I think I like the more black one because it just fits the tone of Super Millionaire. Fantastic job, GSK!

So, I think it's time to address the elephant in the room.
For those of you not aware, today's Super Millionaire game was an absolute disaster. Someone who hates me (for reasons that won't be explained here) decided to take control of the game studio through an ActiveWorlds software exploit and ruin roughly 30% of the entire two hour event. Even worse, all of this person's actions were recorded on the live stream. However, even after all that has happened today, I am doing my absolute best to work with this person to come to a resolution that can benefit both of us.
Big Bucks VR operates with a zero-tolerance policy on inappropriate behavior. Because we are under intense pressure from the in-studio audience, as well as the live stream audience, to deliver on our promise of critically-acclaimed and high quality game show experiences, I am enforcing changes to future Big Bucks VR games.
If your citizen number is between 1 and 399999, these changes will not affect you in any way, shape or form.
If your citizen number is 400000 or higher, you will be required to fill out a form agreeing to a code of conduct and terms and conditions document outlining expected behavior during Big Bucks VR games. Too many new registrants have caused damage or engaged in inappropriate behavior, and we won't tolerate it any longer.
If you have previously displayed positive and appropriate behavior, you will not be required to fill out any forms, regardless of your citizen number. This will apply to almost everyone that has attended our games in the past.
If you don't know what your citizen number is, you can view it by logging into your ActiveWorlds account, and going to [Help] > [About].
Additionally, we will no longer allow users who are under 13 years of age to play as a contestant in our games. Users who are under 13 years are often oblivious to the subject matter in our games, are more often than not inappropriate, or are not mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with being a player on a live event streamed to viewers over the Internet.
I did not come to these decisions lightly, but I, and I know my team, have all had enough. These changes go into effect immediately, but you'll see them first at our next game, date TBA.
Thank you for your understanding. It is our hope that these changes will reduce the number of deviants at future events.
Best,
Mark "GSK" Webb
Executive Producer, Big Bucks VR

I feel really bad about what happened. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that, GSK. Let's all pray that it will never happen again. I'm so sick and tired of these "trolls" thinking they can do whatever the heck they want. They're sucking no the fun out of everything and I want it to stop.

GSK: Has the episode been deleted from the channel? Because I want to see the roughly 70% of the show that was done with no problems.
And no, I did not see it live or at all yet because I have been mega busy with senior high school work.
