Yes, that's right, name that robotic personality! A simple game for simple minds, as it were. Now, the rules are simple:[list type=decimal]
[*]The host disguises a politician or celebrity voice with a vocoder (more below)
[*]The result is uploaded here
[*]The others try and guess who that person is
[*]Whoever guesses right first wins a point, and gets to host a new round
[/list]Additional rules
It is quite likely that you will require a vocoder set or a state of the art computer to perform the vocoding, such as this fine model here, which cost over a thousand pounds:
However, I have been told that you can also do it with an "IBM compatible" computer running the binary sequence known as Audacity Beta 1.3. A tutorial will eventually follow.
A list of prizes
1st place - A Megavac 3000 home vocoder set!................worth £40 5s 0d
2st place - A dinner set with china plates and silverware...worth £14 6s 5d
3nd place - A gilded pocket watch...........................worth £10 2s 0d
4rd place - A portrait of His Majesty the King..............worth £8 0s 6d
Runners up - 3 issues of "Thermionics Tomorrow".............worth £0 9s 6d
Now isn't that something to be aiming for!
Leaderboard
1st place - Derek "Ursca" Wilson, thermionic emissions engineer from Surrey.......1 point
2nd place - Reginald "Habayusa" Smith, televisual communicator from Oxford........1 point
I'll start with an easy one. Name this robotic personality!

[/list]Additional rules
- The voice clip that is disguised should be at least a sentence
- The vocoding will be done at a distance of 20 units, utilizing 30-40 vocoder bands with 80-100Hz radar needles, and no original audio or white noise should be present.
