I give this plot a thousand points

UPDATE!!! We now have a team of four for the Whose Satellite Is It Anyway panel. We decided to keep it simple and short when it came to looking for people, so we're cutting the sign-ups off now. Thank you so much to Sora, Minako, Harvey Finevoice, and Kotetsu for volunteering! Please feel free to continue submitting improv ideas until we can schedule our session.


So guys, I got one for ya! What do a fat guy with glasses, a singer who makes shit up as he goes, a tall man in blue shoes, and a Canadian have in common?

One very confused orgy.

But also a fairly popular British-originated improv show that ran through the 90s and part of the 2000s. A show entertaining enough that sometimes various conventions host panels very much in their style. Which brings us to today's evil plan to strike SoL-con this week. Good evening everybody and welcome to...WHOSE SATELLITE IS IT ANYWAY?

This week, Iron Liz will be hosting a Whose Line segment on Deck 1 with four special guests to perform sketches and shenanigans for all of the Satellite to see. A few games have been picked out already, all we need now are some volunteers for the show and possibly some volunteers for audience participation, and a good handful of ideas for scenes to try their hands at. Once a good number have been put in, everything will be randomly selected, potentially including who gets to guest star depending on how many volunteers we get, and I'll set up a Google Doc that everybody involved in can hop into and get this show on the road! There won't be any pressure to finish by a certain amount of time, unlike a riff, and heck, there isn't even any pressure to make it perfect! That's part of the fun of improv, after all. Sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes complete train wrecks make it to the air. Under the cut, you'll find a list of things I would appreciate suggestions on. Don't feel obligated to fill out the whole thing if you're blanking on ideas, and feel free to add more later if you think of something! iJAG inside jokes, pop culture, and MST3K-related references are acceptable and in fact, encouraged! Comments are screened to keep some of the surprise intact.

1. If you would like any of your characters potentially involved in this project, list them here. The project's positions have been filled. Thank you very much for volunteering!

2. Strange quirks or identities for the stars to act out.

3. Unlikely superhero names and what sort of crisis they'd face.

4. Dramatic scenes to act out, from the cliches of every movie ever made to scenes from specific films of note.

5. Random scenarios to be pulled out of the hat.

6. Fill in the blank: "World's worst _____"
