Julie---I believe Admin blocked our names and passwords for the main part of the board.

Right Tex....

They spoke about us, like we do about BB Hamsters.
Back then, the board was less moderated.

Unless the Mods decide to do a Jim Jones, I am pretty sure it is guaranteed that nothing like those games will ever see the light of day.

I agree Mocha...mostly because we all know each other on some personal level. The hamsters, we don't know...they don't know us.

I think to most people ... opinions matter more if you know the person more.

I also think most of us that were in the game...are glad we were, but really don't want to see it come back.

It was very isolating and became (the isolation)so real to us in the game. It's an emotionally difficult game. Well, it was for me. (I was in a very isolating marriage at the time) It was hard not to let Game emotions into Real life emotions and vice versa. The Game also took huge amounts of time from our lives...if we made a commitment to play.

One of those things you just can't understand unless you were a "contestant".

I don't think the board is ready for another Game.
I don't think many of the posters are ready for another one either.

The Game actually sounds pretty interesting, but it sounds like there isn't a person/or people with enough time on their hands to keep the game going.

I have heard "stories" about arguments and TVCH problems in the past. I never knew that they were a result of a game. It's understandable now.



So....what are these "Adven" games that you guys speak about in other parts of the board? The only game I've seen is "Let's Pretend We All Think Adven is Hot" game we played in the Daily Poll thread a few days ago.

Ah, so this was the Game I've seen so many mentions of throughout the years. Talk of it and the Sock thread were always puzzles to me. I didn't venture out of the main show discussions until after I'd been here for quite a while.

Oh and going back a ways in this thread...I remember being surprised to find that other posters thought I was a guy. If they thought I was a hot guy, like Adven, well that'd be one thing, but I don't think that was the case.

eeyore, there is such a game just finishing up, it relates to survivor and it is in the animal farm threads. currently rabbit runs it with adven, rabbit, and spygirl as judges.

I've never really "gotten" the Animal Farm, so I just don't go there much. I always thought it was just a weird place to relate everything to animal metaphors, so I never go.

Would love to play a game on this side of the world. Someone keep me in mind for the next one, and let me know....

eeyore, the rules of this board as i understand them would not let us play an animal farm type game on this side. and, the animal farm game has nothing to do with animals at all. yes, a lot of us do get into character on that side but you don't have to in order to play that game.

C'mon to the farm, Eeyore! I'll fix you a banana cream pie or something!

Oops, off topic! Man, I totally agree with those above who think the game should never be resurrected! I wish I'd been around to watch it play out, though.

I get a chuckle every day from the animal farm... It's a riot! I see it as a place for creative writing. Watch out for Sock Monkey!

I think Adven knows how to run a reality type game because he's done it before with us. It was fun with a sense of humor. You can't take it seriously..LOL

that's what is so fun about the animal farm - you can't take any of it seriously since none of it is meant to be so. we fight, we make up, we have wars, we call each other names BUT none of it is done out of spite or for harm. it is all in fun and that is supposed to be understood on that side of the fence.

back on topic, a new thread on this side of the fence about restaurants would be cool. it may need to go under the travel folder. we could recommend places to eat in cities we have visited before or ask for advice before we go somewhere.

The suggestion for a moderator only posting thread was a serious one. Some of our best laughs have been the result of a moderator's comment.

You have great funny lines and this would give you a place to post them. Of course, I wonder if we would be reading something like: Here we go again in the Members Folders or Clean-up on Aisle A.

Just a thought.

Don't the mods already have their own "unseen" side of TVCH where they have their own discussions? A few people have told me that....

Don't let the mods fool ya people. They are in the secret back room reviewing our hard drives every night...and probably drinking bellinis or something.

That was very kind of DRA to locate and bring back the Sock Thread. What a hoot and all over a little ole sock.
