Whit, Ok, I'll come clean. You've succeeded in making me very curious & highly intrigued. I haven't a clue what "The Game" is. So now I've got this unsatiable need that must be satisfied to find out! How do I find IT & where's that Synchronicity thread anyway? Pleeeeze!

Game I

Download it - extract it to it's own dir then click on setup.html

But it's definately not for the faint of heart.. I was just reading some of the threads and I'd forgotten how bad it got sometimes wow..lol.

Um - I'll tell you how to find the syncronicty thread in next post (still looking)

Keep in mind .. you should start with the ARCHIVES first or you will be totally lost.. the archives..

(you'll see this after you load setup.html...)

click on The Game Discssion Room

then general

then go all the way to the bottom of the page and click on

General-archives...


(you might also want to read the pre-game thread...

Anyhow no idea how this is going to be for someone who wasn't there but I'd love your feedback if you care to share it with me (WhitInWa@aol.com)

ok now to find syncronicty thread..brb

Ok the synchronicty thread is located by

click on setup.html

then

The Game -discussion room

then

General

it's about 20 threads down (just look for a thread with 300 posts)

It's called

Do you believe in Synchronicity

be sure and read at least 100 of the posts before starting to judge the thread lol it just gets deeper and deeper as it goes... I wish it had not ended so abruptly but something huge was going on at the time elsewhere 'in the game' unfortunately...

Whit, Success! I Downloaded it & found that Synchronicity thread. I'm following your advice & reading the pre-game thread first. It's like finding "buried treasure."
I appreciate your efforts in my behalf!

I have to say this - since it's making me crack up here even 2 years later.

One of the funniest things - was the reaction to the Game 1 players about how many POSTS there were ...

see they couldn't read the 'game discussion' area... but they COULD see how many posts there were.. and they were a bit baffled and confused by the sheer # of posts... they didn't KNOW at the time about all the controversies... but they'd make these little comments to each other 'inside the house' -

Did you see there were over 1000 posts made yesterday?????

I mean they were freaking out over the # of posts being made outside over THEM lol.

I don't know if anyone else finds this funny... but I still do so thought I'd share it... lol.

Remember this was at the end of BB1... so this board was unique... and over 10,000 posts about their game was definately NOT something they could fathom...:)

But man - just imagine - your 'in the house' and there are thousands of posts being made about you guys... ya know? Had to be weird on their end and their comments about it just cracked me up....

OOOOPS


I should also mention... when you get to the
Archives section (at the bottom) you should then go to a thread called

Oct. 6-16 (look on the right side for a thread with 2042 posts in it)

Reading that first would help it all to make more sense LOL.

Hopefully I'm not confusing anyone if so - I'll baby step what I'm saying..just holler.

Its just I kept trying to figure out why it seemed so many threads were missing (turns out they are were archived WITHIN that first archive...)

Glancing through all our threads in Game I - I find it funny how many things AS (BB) took from us...lol... had anyone ever heard of Haggis before our game?? I sure had not..and yet BB used it in one of their challenges this year...alot of other stuff too..like the mole...>:)

Ok I must have been in deep lurk mode during these games...I wanna play I don't like having missed something. Gonna whine in overdrive now.

Ok so when is the new game, where do we submit applications and who's butt should I kiss to get into the house?! hehehe

I haven't hit the above archives yet because I've been too excited about a board BB :) This having a life thing has led to all sorts of upheavels and problems in my world. I think I do better when glued to the computer. Ok...so what's the game plan Gail? huh huh huh?!

Gail

Monday, September 30, 2002 - 06:28 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'm not sure what the Game plan is yet but I am trying to come up with something. Neil did NOT say NO but I am pretty sure he would want a few details worked out. It's not the games he minds but the meaness and distrust that seem to follow afterwards.

First, we need to load out the newer version of the board software. I don't know when that is going to happen - hopefully in the next 2 - 3 weeks if we are lucky and if Neil has time. Then, we will take it from there. Not quite a yes but not a no either. :)

Is there really gonna be a celebrity BB!!??

That would be so funny!..I think that guy Mooves is lying though..I cant think of 1 A-list celeb that would have any interest in spending 2 weeks..never mind 3 months in the BB house

I have Celebrity Boot Camp on in the background as I type in this thread. Horrible T.V. and it makes the case why Celebrity anything is a bonehead idea.

I heard about this Celebrity BB on the radio yesterday. A caller called in and was talking about it. He named Mc Hammer, Emanuel and a couple others that may be on it. I'm not sure if it's true or not. I saw the Celebrity Boot Camp last night and thought it was terrible! I should of stuck with Fear Factor!

Actually, that is a show called "This Surreal Life", not the celebrity BB discussed above.. At least I hope it is, as it includes all the kind of celebrities that Les Moonves specifically says he does NOT want to take part in a celebrity BB..
(the Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduces of the world, or anyone who was on Facts of Life)

Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 08:13 am EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL to Facts of Life...but I personally feel Bonaduce (who currently is on a successful tv show) would be fun as hell in the house. We need him and Rosie O'Donnell and some other folks with geniune personality to stir it up some.

I think there is one thing that would make or break this. If the celebs went in and engaged in genuine interaction as themselves I think it would be great to watch. If they just watered it down and kept on their celeb face and persona it would be a HUGE yawn. Also if they only did it as a TV show and no feeds it would all be edited trash. JMHO

Wow, I really, REALLY liked Celebrity Boot Camp. I was not too thrilled at the beginning with their choice of "celebrities," but I thought the show was very well done. I was really impressed with just how "into it" all of the contestants were. I found it pretty inspirational, actually, watching them push themselves beyond what they thought they could endure.

Haggis.....lol Oh boy. I sure took a lot of grief for mentioning that I was gonna make Haggis for dinner in Game 1. Oh the memories. Hehehe.

Hi Whit...the fierce defender of Game 1.

Kearie kiss! Yup first thing I thought of when I saw Haggis on BB was you and Game I lol.. I have seen so many things that tell me they read our board.. and that was such a prime example... they say "Lisa didn't know about Ribs??" Well I'd never heard of Haggis... in my 35+ years... and yet a year after Game I it's ON BB lol.

Kearie.. if there's a game next year..(working full time this winter....) I plan to be a BG (or try to be....) hope you have my back like I did yours lol....:)

Nothing .. no BB game..Surivor game or any other game ever can compare to our Game I... for better or worse it was one of the most intense 'games' ever at least since they outlawed duels to the death..can't say if my son/ or hubby were in one of THOSE "games" it wouldnt have been intense LOL.

I'm enjoying entertaining the idea of a Game 3... but what would it be like? you know? "civil?" I think there would only be two ways for it to go... BB I redux (too civil) or ... Game 1 (redux..) Game ON... dunno about the other players in the game.. but me I wouldnt be playing to win first place... I'd be playing to show the people here the real Whit... not that anyone here cares to see the real Whit...LOL... but I took all the attacks on Roddy very personally cause Roddy is just a tame version of me... being nice is bad? being friendly is bad? killing them with kindess is bad? using your charms and your skills and talents to move people in a direction you want to move them is bad? guess I was born bad... LOL. Till BB 3 I always thought it was good... controlling oneself is the true challenge.

Well my selfish hope now is that it takes the winter to get game 3 of the ground... so's I can be a BG in Game 3 in the spring... prolly take that long for Neil to respond to the request for us to use TVCH as a jump off point for Game 3...lol.

Besides that it could take a month or two... or three to work out the details for this 'civil' game they hope to have... and honestly folks I do think we could have the most civil game ever... but the way i see it there are only two possiblities... completely civil .. or ... Game I redux... perhaps not so bad if we all start out undertanding .. the concept of "anything goes' - that was the problem with game I - none of us had eer truely experienced "anything goes" before.

I'd like to be on the INSIDE playing the 'ouside gamers' ....

you know the song?

"Lets give them something to talk about......"
