Team Looking For Members- DoctorWhat

Hi, my name's Leah! I'm 17, and this is going to be my first year participating in GISHWHES. I wanted to sign up last year, but we were out of town visiting family...but this year I'm here, so LET'S DO THIS!!! 

No one on my team has done this, there are 3 of us and 2 more who will probably sign up. We're all from Colorado, so it would be great to get some people from other places in the US and hopefully even from other countries! 

No experience is required, but it would be really nice to have at least one or two people who have done this before. We want to make the coffee table book and do the best we can, but several of us are working, so we are unable to devote our full time and attention to the hunt. We'll put in as much time as we can, though!

We're also willing to merge with an existing team if need be. One of us does really need cosplay stuff and is VERY CREATIVE. I'm pretty creative too, and I have a lot of experience with video and photo editing. I can also help with items that require artistic ability. My work gets pretty slow and boring sometimes, so I can probably get some items done there, too. 

I'm super excited to get involved in this wonderful insanity! If you want to join us, send me an ask with some basic info about you and your goals for the hunt!

Registration Closes soon!

If you want to be randomly assigned to a team, just chill and it will happen after Registration closes. If you want to find a team, send us a little blurb about yourself and we’ll post it (we have yet to fail to fond someone a team). If you have a teensy team, consider joining forces with another teensy team (or two!) to make one uber Gish team.

Also, remember to sleep as much as you can the week before gish, because you’re probably going to short yourself sometimes.

Team Looking for Members-Team CarryOn

Hi, I'm Stephany, co captain of the team. I am twenty years old.

We are an international team. Our headquarters are based in Florida, but our members span from not only the US, but Mexico, and parts of Europe as well. 

We obviously do have a team name. We've held this name for the past three years. 

My captain and I have participated the past three years and we have members who have participated for four years, down to first timers. 

We have 13 out of our 15 spots filled. We have a relatively wide age range however currently, everyone on our team is above 18 years of age. 

Our team is semi-competitive to competitive. Our lowest goal at this point is to make the coffee table book but we will of course aim higher. 

We have no specific requirements as of this time however we would prefer to have more experienced teammates from different countries, or specifically near the Vancouver area, able to travel to the meetup. 

We do have an application, which can be found at our website: www.gishwhescarryon.wix.com/teamcarryon

Gishy greetings! Our abnosome team Ain't Mishbehavin' are a semi-competitive team looking to fill our last remaining places. We're a mix of 1st, 2nd and 3rd years from the UK, USA, the Netherlands, and possibly Tokyo or Alaska too. We're looking for someone who is dedicated, wacky, and creative to come and Mishbehave with us :D

[gishwhesnetwork]

What’s your name, and how old are you?

Hi! I'm Bayley and I am 15 

Where will you be located during the hunt? (Country, state, providence, etc.)

New Zealand, Auckland 

Do you and your team already have a team name in mind?

Yup I do; Team purgatory

Do you or any of your teammates have previous GISHWHES experience? If yes, which years?

Nope, all of us are newbies (so far ;))

Do you have any current teammates? If yes, how many? Where are they from? What is their age range?

What would you consider to be the goals of the team? 

Winning is our main goal but we all want to have fun and meet new friends 

What are the requirements of a potential teammate? 

No real requirements. We would like some people out side of NZ, and some older people as well. We are competitive so being competitive would be a positive. We would also require you have a facebook page and having tumblr access would be very helpful. 

How would you like a potential teammate to apply? Should they just send you an ask? Or do you have a formal application?

Hi, I submitted a post earlier about team WeAimToMisbehave looking for members. It looks like we're now full already, so if my submission hasn't been posted can it be deleted from the queue? Many thanks.

Heads up, people, this team is now full. It reached the top of the queue before I saw this one.

Hi! I am looking for team members, my team name is Nox and right now consists of me and my mom because honestly, she's the most competitive person I've ever met. We're located in Brookings Oregon! Thank you!

I suggest you join a team located somewhere else. That was you and your mom can do items together and you’ll have support for items that aren’t local to you. Look through our page here or on FB for a team that looks like fun. If you have trouble, message me and I’ll give you an intro.

Team Looking for Member(s) - (WeAimToMisbehave)

Dear Gishers and potential Gishers

We have some space (currently 7 spaces) on team WeAimToMisbehave this year and would love it if we could fill the team with people who like our Team Philosophy (summarised here) and think that they would be a good fit for our non-competitive team.

I’d say that if you want to participate but haven’t registered because you don’t know what your physical and/or mental capacity may be when the week arrives and so you’re worried about potentially ‘letting down your team’ then definitely take a look. Especially at the 3rd point down.

People who are willing to connect via facebook preferred - we’ve got a facebook group already up and running so you’ll have a chance to chat/flail/panic with us before the hunt begins.

If you’re interested in joining the team, just drop me an ask/a message/a tweet here or on twitter. :-)

Answers to the questions on the Gishwhes Network submission page:

My name is Nat, I am 33. There are currently 8 people on our team ranging from about age 24-40, and we were all on a team together last year (which was our first year). Anyone aged 16+ would be welcome.

There are a few of us based in Merseyside, UK, and a couple of people in the US (if the US people share their location this would be via the facebook group further down the line).

We're basically in it for the fun, silliness and misbehaving. Though making it into the coffee table book would be amazing.

We don't have any specific requirements of our teammates except the will to precipitate. We expressly welcome people with low/unpredictable spoon levels as a few of us fall into this category too - we're a very supportive team.

As noted above, just drop me (autumnpsyche) a line if you're interested. :-)

Team Bangarang! is looking for 5 more members!

What’s your name, and how old are you?

Bangarang! We are all in the range of 18-26, we are willing to accept people under 18 as well.

Where will you be located during the hunt?

All of our current teammates are located in the United States and Canada. We are definitely looking for teammates outside of North America, but we won’t turn you down for being from the U.S or Canada

Do you or any of your teammates have previous GISHWHES experience? 

We range from newbies, to veterans to everywhere in between. We’re willing to take on anyone who has any level of experience as long as you’re able to stay committed and communicate!

What would you consider to be the goals of the team?

We are slightly competitive, meaning we are seeking to create beautiful works of art we’re proud and have a great time while doing it.

What are the requirements of a potential teammate?

You must create or have a Facebook account,Google+ account, and a Trello account. You be communicate openly during the week, by keeping up with what’s going on and most importantly you be with one with the team, gishwhes is a team effort after all!

How would you like a potential teammate to apply? There is no official application, just please contact Sarah if you're interested here http://wheresmydamncookie.tumblr.com/ask

Hello! I'll be at school during GISHWHES, do you have any advice on how to do both?

Well, that depends on whether you want to be hella competitive or not. If you do, get all your assignment for that week done ahead of time. All of them. Read ahead and study ahead because you won’t have time to work on it during classes. I’d still go to your lectures, especially since attendance matters, but if you have your work done ahead of time that won’t be too hard.If you don’t care about being competitive and you just want to play, just get the heaviest assignments out of the way. Schedule your play time up front so you know when you have time, and join a team that knows you aren’t going for broke to avoid any hurt feelings.
