I'm putting a console theme together for my 31/1 tourney that honours Barack Obama on his inauguration. The tourney is entitled "LOL Obamaments".

Readers of 2+2 and followers of Barry Greenstein will understand the reference.

Here are some early looks at the consoles:







I have some Alerts set up:

Tourney Starting is Obama saying (in Berlin) "People of the world, now do your duty."

Buy-in is Obama saying "Yes We Can"

Rebuy is Obama saying "This time must be different"

Elimination is Obama telling McCain during one of the debates, "When the war started, you said it was going to be quick and easy. You said you knew where the weapons of mass destruction were. You were WRONG!" (It's a bit long, and may get tiresome, but I don't know if I can resist it. I may just use the last two sentences.)

Add on is Obama saying "you can put lipstick on a pig…"

Level change is Sam Cooke singing 'Change Gonna Come'. That's also referenced in the Next Level section of the Play console.

I wish I could trigger an alert when we go Heads-up. I would use McCain saying "I can't wish my opponent luck, but I do wish him well."

Tournament Ending is from Obama's acceptance speech, saying simply, "This is your victory."

You can export the entire theme and everything related to it from the console theme library. (The theme, the dashboards, all images used, all audios used, all alert settings, etc.)

Then if you zip it up and send it to me, I can put it on the website's console theme library.

Then others can download it and import it.


Note: You could also use a trivia collection for stuff like, "Nobody can prove that Obama was or wasn't actually born in the United States", then display that on the console before the tournament.

Cool. I'll do that when it's done.

I'm still looking for an alert for going on break.

I think I'll try McCain saying "I'll suspend my campaign" for the break alert.

Great idea for the trivia, Doc. This is my favourite one:

Questioned about his admitted marijuana use, he responded, "I inhaled plenty. That was kind of the point."

I checked out his first draft last night. Pretty funny.

Made some major changes to this. Going out, so will post screenshots later, but in summary:

Changed the Play consoles backgrounds to something completely different, to better mark the difference from Pre & Breaks.

Changed the Post console background, I think it's much better looking.

Added a clip of Obama speaking to volunteers "Are you fired up! Are you ready to go!". That will be my Tournament Started Alert, and I moved "Now do your duty" to the break ended alert. This was actually a ringtone that was available from his official website (thanks to the free application 'Audio Hijack' that allows me to record from my browser).

I fixed the 'I suspend my campaign' McCain clip that apparently broke when I was exporting it to a compatible format.

I'm refreshing my inbox continuously until this lands.
