Weinermr | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:05 pm   Are you addressing your post to anyone in particular Moondance? |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:06 pm   Geez you guys... this board has been around for over a year and half... I would think if you have joined in the last few months you are a newbie... doesn't mean you are wrong or bad just means you are newish to the board... the games were a year ago so it's been while and just weird that people who were not here would know so much about it to want it again thats all. peace out |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:09 pm   My last post you are referring to Weinermr was a reponse to the previous one. |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:11 pm   sorry to sound like a bi#$@ but who really cares if solidsnake is a "newbie" he/she is still entitled to his/her own opinion am i right? I dont think the POT is being stirred at all. I was here for BB2 but I dont know what the GAME 1 or 2 is and from what i hear, it sounds interesting to me. But then again everyone is entitled to their own opinion. oh and twiggyish, what do you mean you have noticed "that" about the newbies too??? What is "that"???? just curious. |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:16 pm   Angelnikki... I wasn't worried about SS being a newbie or not ... just very curious why they would want to have a game where most of the posters who were around during the games have said how badly hurt and detrimental it was to the board... I have a right to question just as much as anyone has a right to an opinion too! I just find it odd ... why the interest?... other than trying to stir the pot... hope that makes sense. |
Kep421 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:30 pm   WOW, just the mention of "the game" seems to envoke bad vibes. I've been posting since BB2 and I consider myself a newbie in relation to posters who have been here since BB1 and before. I think being a newbie is relative, kinda like a person's age. Certainly nothing to get upset over. Oh my, I haven't seen this many ruffled feathers since the Hot Tub Incident....I'm totally nonplussed!!! |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:31 pm   Moon.. when i said "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" I meant everyone which would also mean YOU. "why the interest"?? well, because it sounds interesting and just like solidsnake, im curious as to why it left such hurt feelings and was so detrimental? |
Soeur | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:32 pm   Hi guys, I have been reading this thread with interest. What was unfortunate for this site about the games was that the board was somehow held accountable for the behavior and mistakes made by individuals. It seems in retrospect that too much was expected of the administration in terms of sorting out interpersonal issues between members. I think it was a very difficult time for the moderators and the board policies underwent a trial by fire. Because actions of mine caused some issues to erupt I feel very concerned whenever this topic comes up about any illwill that is stirred up. Hopefully with time a more tolerant perspective will prevail. This board is a great place because of the people who have been loyal to it and give it a sense of continuity. It is also a pleasure to see new names and develop a sense of the personality behind the posts. There is a lot of history here now. TVCH is a fascinating place.  |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:32 pm   Oh Kep421, Im not upset at being a "newbie" but it seems that some others are |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:34 pm   thank you for clearing that up soeur and for being so nice about it. thank you again

Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:36 pm   I guess you will have to take my word for it ... also some of the posters that have been around during the games have left their thoughts in this thread. Hard to explain but just know it was very hard on this board ... we lost a lot of posters ... and lots of hurt feelings ... both games. Imagine our BB messages ... we discussed, judged people we didn't know... I realize we really do not know each other because it is a message board but there are bonds that have been made so there are feelings involved.... Feelings got hurt ... very hurt. I hope that helps. Kep said it best above... just the mention of a game gets the feathers ruffled...can you imagine what it is like during the game? |
Kep421 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:41 pm   Jeez, Moonie I'm glad now I missed it.... |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:45 pm   I am glad that you are here now Kep! |
Max | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:46 pm   That's a very gracious post, Soeur. Nice of you to say all that. |
Gail | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 08:46 pm   And the top dozen or so posts are why there won't be Game 3. If someone really wants to have a game or play in one, check over at Elite's board. I think they had one a few months ago but I don't know the outcome or details. Perhaps they would be willing to host another. I just know it will not be here. Neil said after the last one that there would be no more games on this board and I am in total agreement with him. |

Magikearth | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:02 pm   Thanks for your posts Soeur and Moondance! I'm sorry for all of my questions. Maybe my curiosity got the better of me? But hey,I've got 3 Cats...maybe I'm acting like them?LOL  |
Soeur | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:05 pm   Another thing about the games is the phenomenal time commitment required from participants. Not many people are able to contribute so much without paying a high price. It provokes a real sense of stress... Maybe we could resurrect some of the threads that were active around the holidays last year which really were enjoyable? During this season, with all of the events which have been happening in the world, it's just nice to be here  |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:08 pm   Sis Magic... you have a cats!!! Yeah! I have lots of cats ... I rescue... I love your name btw... reminds of a Native American name |
Soeur | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:10 pm   Pleasant dreams you guys. Nice to see you up. *sis really loves clipart sooo much and TVCH taught her everything she knows  |
Magikearth | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 09:34 pm   Moondance, I think its awesome that you rescue cats! Actually,I made up my username because I love all things connected to the Earth and the Magikal elements in Nature and that includes Native American Art,History,Music,Religion,Everything I'm glad you like my name! I like yours,too |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 10:10 pm   There are so many magical elements of Mother Earth and I believe in all of them And the kitties... they actually resue me |
Merlin | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 10:37 pm   I played in Game 2 and lived through it. I would venture there again also. I learned things from the experience, about myself and about others. When the game ended, I spent days reading what was said on the outside that the game players couldn't see while in the game. I admit that some of it was tough to see at first. After reflecting on it, I could understand how people could interpret things in a different way. I don't think this is any different than what we deal with in real life on a daily basis. Game 2 allowed me to become aquainted with several people in a way that I don't think would have happened without the existence of that game. Some of these were not players but observers. That in and of itself was worth the time the game required. I am not advocating a game 3 for this message board. I agree it would never work at this site. |
Solidsnake | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 11:46 am   if u wanna know who i am all you have to do is ask.. i was here for the end of game 2 and im not pursuing this issue anymore after speaking to some people in chat who better explained to me what was what.. if people cant diffrenciate between a game & reality than its no fun playing something which will hurt individuals.. So im out of the running for Game 3. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 12:55 pm   My post about newbies wasn't about those who just joined or who have been here a while. Our board lost good people because of the games. I just hate to see that happen again. Merlin, you were a good player in those games! Soeur, I am not sure about all that happened, but I don't think you should blame yourself. Mr. Weiner, I consider you an oldbie =) (like me) See as stated before, even the mention of the games brings on controversy. |
