Lance...was eons ago and I for one agree with you about it being a very amazing, stressful time. But alas, we all got thru it.

I have fond memories of that time.

Kearie, so you were here long ago? Your date now shows 2005. Did you have to change your name?

I do think we learned not to do another GAME...to much work and too much stress. LOL

Imagine TVCH members being able to bash the HG during THE GAME.... as they do in BB? Caused some sensitivities to occur because most people knew each other.

I think it divided up people on the board in terms of person in the game they were supporting. Fan bases developed and so did the opposite.

Rosie...I was here during BB and and thru the beginning of the board.

I quit posting and came back and lurked mostly in the past few years.

My name was KearieK back then. I just stayed away so long that my membership ended. I recently started posting last summer during BB and have stayed ... thus far.

Flint is in Korea at this time. He is teaching English to Koreans.

Money was not a factor in the game. People left for various reasons--same happened in Game II.

Game I was completely unmoderated. Just like in BB we were on a different part of the board. We were not supposed to even look at the other parts of the board, nor were we supposed to be in contact in any manner with anyone from the board.

We were the HG. People watching us were called watchers. Like BB1, we nominated players for eviction, but it was the watchers who decided who got booted.

Eeyore, it was actually quite elaborate. People had to apply, and a number of folks were selected based on our applications and who the game moderator thought would make for a good game. Lisa (ENB's wife) was the game proctor. The rules were quite extensive.

We were given challenges of various kinds and had to interact just like the BB1 folks.

In my opinion it was a game where you got out of it what you put into it.

For 3 months I slept no more than 3 hours any given night.

The unmoderated board made for some very intense posts and rooting sections. It was not for the meek of heart to read.

I must've missed this game. Interesting. LOL!

Maybe other men here at TVCH aren't interested in posting to the Boomer thread; don't find it interesting and feel no need to post there.

Rosie, what a great idea to post in blue. Lets me know to look for your posts, which are always interesting and amusing.

Glenn, I guess we should have written a book about The Games I and II. Glenn (formerly known as Merlin) and I both delurked following Game I in an effort to dispel some of the acrimony left over from that game. And then like fools, we both participated in Game II. And then my computer broke, and then I went to Australia, and when I came back all hell had broken loose ...

How was it during Game II JuJu? I didn't watch it.

Did you feel totally isolated?

I thought the song for the GAME we made up was cute. We did so good. LOL

I have to say.....that would have been cool to participate in. I think I would have hurt more people than been hurt though. I was so meek as a young child, that my mother pushed me and pushed me not to take any crap from anyone. Now I'm overbearing. LOL

Well, it's good to see the "game" didn't makes us lose ALL the great posters. It sounds like the intensity and bad blood in it may have contributed to this being such a polite board now. Which is a nice thing.

Eeyore, I think you're correct about it being one of the reasons the board has evolved the way it has. The first years was filled with a great deal of learning on the board. But it was all worth it.

Oh, and for those interested...an advice column was set up on the Animal Farm in the Stalls.
The Shrink is Inn.....ask for advice at your own risk. LOL

There are very few of us who participated in those games who remained on the board. I left during the post-game II blow-up when ElitesTV was formed but I eventually returned.

It's actually a bit funny in retrospect but there was a guy who played in both games and who cheated in both games by having dual identities. Remember the players were not supposed to be reading anywhere on the board except inside the game. Nobody knew of his dual identities. This guy was a rabid fan of HIMSELF from the spectator's gallery. Most of us at the time failed to see the humor after the duplicity was revealed.

Edit: Rosie, um yeah. I forgot who won Game I, but it wasn't cheater guy and it wasn't Kearie. Lance probably remembers. It could have been him.

Azriel won Game II, with Merlin and cheater guy coming in 2nd and 3rd, although not sure what order.

Optics won game I, I would dispute some of how Jujubigdog characterized the duplicity... but I agree it is a subject well left alone.

Vykin won game I.

When Lisa set up the Game, she put an equal number of males and females into the house. Well, or so she thought. The application she had folks fill out didn't ask anything about gender. One player posted such that no mention was made of their gender. Funny thing was EVERYONE assumed Vykin was a male. Turns out she was a female.

Some folks didn't care one way or the other--some were outraged.

Kearie, Moon, Dilligaf (although she hasn't posted for a bit) and myself are still hear. That is 4 in 10.

The rules for Game II were relaxed a bit for communications. There was also a regular chat for Game II where we could watch the HG's talk in a real time chat. We couldn't speak in chat.

I would say that Game I was set up to have the HG experience more separation.

Game II had a level of moderation to it.

She was funny...Talking in her redroom discussion and to the private "web Cam" for her fans to read.

I certainly felt isolated in Game 1.

I felt isolated because 1) I followed the rules to a tee about not speaking to anyone on the board and 2) I was in a building that is very isolated. No windows, and at night no one else there.

i also made an effort to mentally try to feel isolated. I experienced a very different feeling--when I looked away from the monitor I could fully realize I was in the "normal word". When I was looking at the monitor and "in the house" I felt totally isolated. And it flipped back and forth as needed at a moment's notice.
