As for BillyTV, it's rather odd, and I can't really explain it all that well. Maybe someone else can. >_<
Hmm. Let's see how well this turns out.
You are auditioning for the different roles against other players. It doesn't matter which role you want (K-Dog's role doesn't do anything functionally different from Cici's, for example) except you will compete against other aspirants to your chosen role. However to actually Audition, you have to complete all the challenges first. Once you do, whatever skills you have remaining are used and the total from that is your Finale score.
-You have a point pool equal to your amount of Awesome to spend on skills beforehand. Buy whatever skills you like, but remember that you need enough skills to pass the Challenges AND compete for the Finale if you get that far.
-Each Challenge has a Target Score and a Max Ability number. Quite simply meet or beat the Target Score to pass the Challenge and gain the reward, but the number of ability "dice" you can use are capped at that Max Ability.
-You can attempt the Challenges in any order.
-Choose your abilities to use. You can mix and match abilities if you like. You don't have to use the max amount of abilities if you don't want to.
-Abilities used up are lost, pass or fail.
I don't have a good strategy for this, really. I tried for a mixture of Precision and Style, but the best I could get was only 100 or so on the Finale. I suspect that buying a fair amount of cheap skills like Atmosphere and Diction is a good idea due to Creating Quickteams (+10 per die on Finale), but I haven't been able to test it.
Billy Live is really Awesome-intensive, so don't expect to get far until you have 800 Awesome at least. There's no downside to trying it out at lower levels though. I think that covers it, anything I missed or other questions?
