Interview #20: Dr. Lecter



#1. First off, allow me to apologize for my dog being a total dick and refusing to be in the above picture. However, would you still display this banner in your signature to signify our powerful alliance, if selected?
#2. Would you promise not to join any other radical groups (especially the Community of Squee) or to join in any other duos while we are together?
#3. Which was Hasselhoff's best show... Knight Rider or Baywatch?

Mrs. Montana had trouble saving a picture today without breaking the computer. Mr. Montana does all the photoshop activities, while Mrs. Montana cooks the food, cleans the house, and brings home more than half of the bacon. It's a fair trade.

Alrighty, all of the interviews of the 20 candidates have been posted. While we are awaiting replies, I will get to Korrgan and Roid's banner request before starting the next round, as well as touching up a couple banners that did not meet my high standards.

All interviews are due by midnight (EST) Jan 30th. Any not received by that time will be automatically disqualified.

Are the results still on target for announcement on February 1?

I'm just a very slightly behind my original schedule, but I think I can still bring this puppy in for landing on Feb 1st... Feb 2nd at the latest.

Mr, Montana, I have a question. In b.redy's banner, is your puppy hiding his face because he sees The Hoff down below?

Yep, and it's the exact same thing I did too!

I just feel really sorry for the dog that did pose with him. That should be considered as some kind of animal abuse.

1. When finished, I will gladly show it off. I think it's kind of appropriate. you should make it "getluv & Tony: The Nintendo slayers". Where we stab ppl with the DS pen thing in the eye. OMG, we could have so much fun if you can get the past the fact that being associated me would be considered social suicide (in the realms of KJ). I know that using getluv in CAPS was an honest mistake and was not from the raging Canadian dyslexia effecting the KJ population.

2. because i feel like i'm the only person who could be honest with you, I have to admit that I'm only in it for the sex. In saying that, I will gladly NOT attend any charity events, groups and meetings together and promote any lifestyle/ideas/products that you enjoy or believe. I will send you detailed updates as to the private life of our fellow KJ users when you feel you need to know something. Remember in 'The Devil Wears Prada' where they have to tell her everything about people before they speak to her, well thats me. I'm the British one without the early onset of Alzheimer's.

3. Upon watching Transformers I've learned to respect the machines. so, I'm more interested in seeing people who own Wiis get electrocuted. I have no beef with the 360. In fact, i'm arranging a sexual encounter with one this coming weekend. You are welcome to join.

#1. I'd proudly display it. I'd be even more proud if my name was spelled correctly. For a duo to work at their optimum the first step is to know how to spell your partner's name... Look at me:

T-O-N-Y-M-O-N-T-T-O-A-N-A

You see. I'm a perfect match for you.

#2. I would definitely promise not to join any other groups or duos while we're together. Though if I (or you) break up first and then join other duo it's OK? The question is a bit vague... You already looking for a way out?

#3. It's not about who's tool is bigger, it's about who's more skilled with his tool. The same thing goes for puppies (not exactly, but more or less). It's not really a question of cuteness, it's more of which one was more polite and didn't do ps3-ps3 and wii-wii everywhere around while being a young pup.

If the top two are anyone other than Snrub and Gulli, [s]my bribes were obviously accepted[/s] good has triumphed over evil!

Thank you for your response, be.redy. I have looked over your answers, and they were forwarded to the home office for further study.

I also made the necessary correction to the banner. You can rest easy in knowing that I have fired all the people responsible for that error at the TonyMontana Institute for Technology and Stuff.

Thank you for your quick, professional reply, getluv. Your answers are being carefully studied by my team of psychologist as we speak.

Also, I did inquire at my Institute about the capital letter ordeal. They advised that that particular font only comes in capital letter, and they thought the artistic benefit was too great to change it to a font that comes in lower case. I agreed with them, and congratulated them on a job well done right after I fired them for screwing up be.redy's name.

Two bonus banners for non-contestants, per request:

DAMN!
To know that I missed out on a great banner with me and Tony

I can't wait to find out who will be welcomed into the Tone Zone*

Interview #20: Dr. Lecter



#1. Yes, I would indeed, but may I suggest the inclusion of Kate Beckinsale or someone similar in there, so that we won't be mistaken for the KGay Clique?
#2. That's the first group I've been interested in joining and shall remain the last. Though if the Hoff ever is to join WOKJ, I'd consider a menage á trois!
#3. Knight Rider all the way. I think I have a silicone-aversion, so no Baywatch for me.

Thank you for the response, Dr. Lecter. And I do agree with you... we'll have to add at least a couple boobs into that banner just so there is no confusion between our partnership and KGay.

On another note... Demandred and The Dark Shape have until midnight to respond to their interviews, or they will be disqualified from the next stage.

But, since we are the same person, you won't be missing out. You are me!

Insomniac's, Ripper's, and The Dark Shape's banners are amazing! Wow, nice job on the creativity Tony.

You're not even in the running, so stop sucking up!

Tony, those banners are amazing! You're like a Photoshop genius!

You're not even near the top of the list, we all know it, so stop sucking up!

Tony, those banners are amazing! If your police officer job falls through, which it never will because you're the greatest officer in history, then you should look into a job as a graphic designer perhaps!

I appreciate all forms of flattery - sincere or non-sincere. Bonus points for everyone.

You're not even in the running, so stop sucking up to us!

Um, I mean... you're grrrrreat!

Alrighty... the interview process if over.

We're on to the next stage... the elimination round. I've been keeping a scorecard of all the contestants, and will be announcing the results from the bottom to the top over the next couple days.

I'll detail the scoring and kick that off shortly, but first we have our first two contestants that have been disqualified for not showing up to their interview:

The Dark Shape


Demandred


There are now only 18 left....

Scoring

The scoring was based on 4 main categories. The contestants were awarded a score of 1-10 in each, with 1 being the lowest score and 10 being the most.

They are as follows:

Desire - Based on how badly the contestant appeared to want to be selected. Based on thread participation, interview answers, and also the background report.

Compatibility - Based on how compatible I believe we would be.

Forum Activity - How active they are as a member, weighted toward current activity.

Forum Standing - How I perceive them to be viewed by the KJ community as a whole. A person with a terrible reputation and unliked by all would get a 1... somebody loved by all would get a 10. Again, this is weighted more toward current standing.

There is also a bonus category for some contestants. This is where I award extra bonus points, or in some cases take away points.

I tried to do these very fairly, and had no pre-conceived idea on exactly who I would select before totaling them up. The scores are not up for debate (unless I added wrong), and based purely on my perception, which may not be fact.

It should also be noted the order is in no way a reflection of who I like better. I truly like all of you, and I believe without a doubt that any of us could pair up and make one hell of a kick ass duo.
