Welcome to the Forum, abr. Yes, that would suffice.

Have you done this before successfully?

Have you read this and this?
 
I think it also depends on how you "transmit" the sentence. Via phone? I can do that too. If, however, you are transmitting it telepathically, this should be an easily testable claim, which could win you the MDC. I'm really looking forward to your formal application/protocol.
 
Welcome to the forum. I beleive there may have been a protocol already discussed or submitted for this type of claim, but I can't remember offhand who it was for. I'm sure Gzuz, Jackalgirl or one of the other regulars can probably give more details.
 
Just to avoid confusion on this conversation: the posters on the forum, unless expressly stated otherwise, cannot speak for James Randi or the JREF regarding what protocals wil or will not work.

Good luck, however.
 
Why is a friend in the room with you? That seems unnecessary. It also makes it trivial to cheat.

You need a sentence to be generated randomly, not by a friend. Are you saying the friend in the room with you makes up the sentences? If so, its easy to cheat just by the three of you getting together before the test and agreeing what the sentences will be.

Someone from outside the room, not a friend, needs to generate the sentences. They can be made up ahead of time by Randi, put in sealed envelopes, and then provided to you once you are in the room. If having the friend in the room helps your power, then fine, he can be there. But he does not, under any circumstances, get to make up the sentences to be transmitted.

Hi abr and welcome to the forum. If you are claiming that you can 'transmit' using paranormal means, then yes, that sounds like it would qualify for the MDC.

The Challenge Application and FAQ are linked above. Do you have a media presence and can you have some disinterested professional vouch for having witnessed what you've done and that it is paranormal?
 
I can't see how something like this wouldn't qualify for testing(if all other MDC rules are met)..

Does it have to be your friend in the other room, or could you 'transmit' the sentence/word/ to anyone?

Guys, perhaps responding to five and more different posters might turn out to be a bit overwhelming for a newbie. We might have scared one or more would-be applicants in the past with justified but perceived incessive inquiring.

If everyone would agree, I would volunteer to lead the conversation with abr concerning his/her claim.

Do you trust my German efficiency coupled with my track record?

If we can't trust Gzuz, who can we trust? You may be my proxy but expect PM's from me.
 
Scare him off, let him stay, let the thread go to thousands of posts, he's not going to do it anyway.

Well said.

However, there is one glaringly obvious problem with the idea:

This is correct.

I get at least two e mails a week saying the same thing, or extremely close to it. I can understand why Randi has such a short fuse with these people - they're all full of it.

I simply reply, stop telling me fairytales and show me. Turn up at my place and show me what you can do, otherwise, **** off.

That has to be the standard answer doesn't it?

If you have a genuine paranormal ability, just stop talking and show me.

Apart from that, what else is there to discuss?

Who cares if he's had 10,000 witnesses and 5,000 trials? If you have a paranormal ability, it will be extremely easy to show the ability to independent observers. Just pony up and show the damned thing. And not on Youtube, either.

People making these claims are deluded, trolls or outright crazy. In the case of the OP, he could also be the butt of a joke.

But sure, if there's to be a respectful gatekeeper, you're the ideal bloke!

I think this approach has its merits. A few forum representatives engage directly in conversation with the potential applicant, ensuring that important details are not lost, forgotten or overlooked. At the risk of straying into Forum Management territory, there could be a "shadow" thread for everyone else to discuss the claim, from which the reps can pick analysis, criticisms and suggestions to post in the main thread.

My own approach approximates that. If the most important things to look at first have already been addressed I don't add anything.

Well, other than a few words of encouragement.

Good luck! I hope you find what you seek!

This looks too transparently stupid to be a genuine claimant. As you say, the friend can be present, but would not be the generator of whatever is to be "transmitted."

Be all right by me, but in the initial post there's already a glaring hole. Start from there.

Welcome to the forum, abr. GzuzKryzt will most likely help you with your application. In the meantime, please read all the information pertaining to applicants for the MDC here and here.

Abr, we will try and work with your english. Please ask immediately if you have not understood anything so that we do not misunderstand each other.

If you indeed have a paranormal ability, will try and help you win the Prize.

Have you done what you said in your first post - transmitting sentences by paranormal means - before successfully?

Please read this and then read this. These documents contain almost everything you need to know about the Million Dollar Challenge (MDC) and what you need to do to win it.

If you have read the two documents and have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them.

What is your first language? Perhaps we could help you get a good online dictionary.
