Another thing to discuss are "the stakes of this game" which "are yet to be determined. You might want to contribute your ideas". Any suggestions? -Disso 11:13, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
"You figured out the stakes yet?" quoth Ze June 26. The unofficial poll conducted by me has measured an emerging majority in favor of some kind of musical episode if we win, and buying Ze some yet to be determined stuff if we lose. More contributions are very welcome. - Disso 13:38, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
Voting on the stakes is going to take place here, but it might be a good idea to merge that page with the chess move vote page, whenever the stakes vote is going to take place. - Disso 15:33, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
Sports racers who have their minds made up can of course start voting. I'd say we keep the vote open 'til Tuesday evening, then send the decision to Ze with the move for Wednesday. I don't know who's going to send the moves tonight and Tuesday, but if that comrade could include this info (that stakes are going to be announced on Wednesday) in the mail to Ze, that'd be neat. This is a proposed deadline, as I don't know if I can contact the mailer tonight. Also, if anyone wants to extend the deadline to have more discussion that's fine with me too, as long as we set a deadline and can notify Ze about it. - Disso 16:13, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
Late breaking unofficial poll news: musical episode still in the lead for "if we win", also due to continued disagreement over the choice of co-anchor (who's it gonna be then?); but excitingly there's an emerging majority of support for the "if we lose" proposal to offer fan-initiated marketing - contribute your suggestions how we're going to spread the word. - Disso 08:42, 27 June 2006 (PDT)

If we win ...
The Show: Unplugged
i'd like to see a live concert. at least 10 minutes of ze and a guitar performing any songs he wants. kind of "the show-unplugged". Ann 18:21, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
- This is great! I'm already sold... and if we lose, he only does a 3 minutes concert. --Gelbitalk 18:34, 24 June 2006 (PDT)
- Great idea, as long as Ze sticks with original material... I just had a scary vision of Ze doing an acoustic cover of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" as part of that show... (shudder) (18:54, 26 June 2006 69.150.181.131)
- We could have Ze sing through an entire episode- "Ze Frank: The Musical" (21:14, 26 June 2006 24.187.8.153)
- I'm leaning toward this.bobbie_mactalk

The Mysterious episode
If we win, Ze re-posts the mysteriously deleted episode.
- I think the stakes for the deleted episode were determined by Ze already, and judging by the response people aren't all that eager to see it again. Some fresh not previously deleted Ze ass would be more fun, but still... I think we can do better. And keep in mind, how long can this chess game last? How soon can we win? Let's say 20 moves, that'd be 8 weeks away. -Disso 12:31, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
- I don't know what you're talking about. I, along with over thirty other people took pictures of our bare behinds to see the deleted episode. Rocco 14:59, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
- And I commend you for it. But only twelve of you had the boomwow to include your faces, that's three a day since Ze asked on Monday, which means we'll hit fifty in another um, three weeks? Slow going. -Disso 16:00, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
- After seeing the page why would you even admit that? there's some real butt ugly butts out there. Makes me think there should be a law.

A show with Co-Anchor
A show with a co-anchor, for instance
- Chelsea
- Bonesaw
- Some other six-year old. Don't know why, but I think that would be awesome and would work very well with Ze's style. Maybe not a whole show, but a considerable segment of one.
These were suggested by Disso. Any other suggestions?? (and for every mention of Amanda Congdon, Stewie will kill you!)
- the old lady from his block who thought he was funny
- Amanda
- For the love of God, no Amanda. She'd ruin the whole fucking show. I don't even think Chelsea is that funny.
- I'm out on a limb here, but Chelsea is at least as funny as Ze. - 08:31, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
- Amanda was vehemently NOT suggested by Disso 15:09, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
- For the love of God, no Amanda. She'd ruin the whole fucking show. I don't even think Chelsea is that funny.
- Kermit the Frog, who argues with Ze. (was this you, Gelbi at 04:08, 25 June 2006?... Uhm, yes it was me... I'm sorry :) )
- I think Kermit is copyright-owned by either PBS or Disney (Henson's estate sold most of the muppets' rights to Disney). Either way, I don't think he can use Kermit without legal issues. (A shame, since that's a funny idea...) (possibly by Gelbi)
- It wouldn't be a copyright violation if it were parody, AFAIK parody is fair use. But to be honest I feel that kind of parody is a bit removed from Ze's usual perspective on performance. - Disso 10:03, 26 June 2006 (PDT)

Ze got Pwned
- He threw down the gauntlet, talked plenty of trash .. if he loses then maybe we can get a picture/video of Ze and 'Property of the Fabulosos' written across HIS ass. Make sure you get your face in the picture, Ze. ^^ Brigade 13:49, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
- My fave so far. However, I'm not sure you'll be able to reach consensus here about what happens if the unthinkable happens -- he wins. :) muyfabulosotalk 18:18, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
Power Move
If ze loses he has to do 3 min. mocking all the power moves listed on fabuloso chess page.
Note: see below for the same powermove if we lose. This is a sneaky suggestion: what if the outcome were the same whether we win or lose? - Disso 08:34, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
ze smells something
ze does one entire show from the inside of a bathroom stall in the port authority (or similarly rank locale)... (14:32, 27 June 2006 by 125.131.28.68)
hang out with ze
if he loses, he 'hangs out' with his fans for an hour via an IM chat. (17:04, 27 June 2006 by 208.60.177.13)
If we lose ...
However, I've got no ideas yet about what we could offer if we lose. Hey it could happen, this is Ze "Checkmate" Frank we're talking about. Anybody? -Disso 16:09, 23 June 2006 (PDT)
Amazon Wish-list
We could agree to buy him one of his choices on the 'buy me a gift' portion of his site. I'd kick in a buck for that. (We need to come up with something cool for us if we win though)..bobbie_mac
vacation from the show
Ze gets to take a week long vacation from the show. He can appoint someone else to update the site with viewer-sent videos every day. That, or the site just has a picture of a duckie stepping on a chess piece on it all week. 69.209.222.93 12:22, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
- Comment by Mayorcj over on the vote page: although this would punish those sports racers who did not participate in Fabuloso Chess, is it fair for us to take it off the air for everyone?
Special Guest Star
Ze requests a visit from someone (celebrity or whatever) he wants to have on the show, and then its our responsibility to somehow get them on the show (we know someone, ask them nicely, offer to pay them, whatever). 69.209.222.93 12:22, 26 June 2006 (PDT)
Ideas for Gifts
- In the eventuality of our losing, we should get him the biggest g*ddamn duckie money can buy! (21:16, 26 June 2006 24.187.8.153)
- How about, if we lose we all pitch in to buy billboard space in New York. The bilboard could say something like "Fabulosos Accused of Hard Charging, details at ZeFrank.com/TheShow." He gets promotion and we support him, even in our humiliation.
- I like the billboard idea, maybe a different message 'cos that one's kind of an in joke if you've never watched the show before, but I'd be willing to contribute for that if we lost...--Faustus 07:06, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
- I wonder how much billboard space in New York goes for, and if collecting that kind of dosh is realistic. But I could see how a creative take on marketing could make a splendid gift for Ze, I like that about this idea. - Disso 07:19, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
- I do agree there should be some way that we can market the show to a larger audience and we have to foot the bill. - Squeedo
