"The Game III"

Mssilhouette | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 01:14 pm   Well I was around during BB1 and the idea was introduced about having a BB-esque house on the board. I wasn't too much of an active poster then and I had another name . I always wondered how that little experiment turned out. From the bad vibes I get reading those who don't want to venture into again, I guess it wasn't that much of a success. Personally I wouldn't mind having one. But since people have a bad taste in their mouths about it, I'm doubting highly that it would happen. Of course if one enters into something like that it would seem natural that they might be predisposed to not blaming the board if something goes wrong. Ahh well we all know how human nature is. It seems amazing that folks would leave because of a game got too heated or controversal. Oh well on to other more friendly games. For the record, I'd vote to be in the "house" or some modified version thereof. LabRat 2002 |
Car54 | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 01:50 pm   I am relatively new here, but I have have a lot of respect for the long term members who have strong feelings about this issue, and I trust their opinions. I think we should leave this alone and move on to other fun things to do. |
Tksoard | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:10 pm   If you want to play a game, there are a bunch of them under the heading of GAMES!! I have yet to see anyone get hurt feelings or mad at anyone there. The point of GAMES, is to have fun!! I say go there and guess what a song or a movie is!! If you're wrong, that's OK, just guess again. Leave Games 1 and Game 2 alone!!! JMO  |

Mssilhouette | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:51 pm   Yeah but there's no LabRat 2002 there! ;) LOL I think the whole subject of a Game III was brough up in fun and enjoyment. If there are bitter feelings than obviously it won't happen. It's not that big of a deal. And for those who are oldies just remember because something went wrong once doesn't mean it'll happen twice...or is that three times? It's okay to try an old idea with fresh minds. |
Moondance | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 02:58 pm   Thats what they thought before MsSill... please let's let this go...please Besides the Boss, Mr.Neil has already spoken and the word was No. |
Karuuna | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 03:55 pm   I think the astute Miss Twiggyish pointed out rightly -- if just talking about having a game results in some misunderstandings and unhappiness about people's posts, then just imagine what the game itself does. There are arguments both for and against it, both sides have valid points of view. However, in order to think that we could avoid the ugly side, it seems like the board would need to be pretty unaminous in supporting a game. Since it's obviously not, and since the board owner is adamantly set against it, I think it's best to realize there will not be another one. JMO  |
Littlebreeze | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 03:55 pm   This thread has been interesting reading. I came to this board with BB2 so I had no knowledge of the Game until now. It sounds as if it was quite a hotbed of emotions and bad feelings. I tend to agree with Car and take the older members' opinions as sage advice. Liken the Game to a pit of quicksand. You have a choice. You can go around the quicksand or you can attempt to navigate across it. As a group, you've tried a few times already to cross the pit. In the attempts, a few may have gotten across safely, but others were injured and some were lost totally, sucked away from the group forever. Common sense would tell you to go around the quicksand the next time, avoiding it altogether, rather than risk further injuries or loss. |
Merlin | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 04:06 pm   excellent allegory Littlebreeze. |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 04:20 pm   Oh Moon not to worry, as I said in my previous posts, I think its a neat idea but I realize its not going to fly. But it is interesting to read the discussion on it. Besides, I can always torture my Sims for entertainment if necessary! That way I won't have to worry about them getting all grumpy and bitter.  |
Moondance | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 04:48 pm   That was nice Littlebreeze! LOL Mssil... I need to find out what these Sims are... torture could be a good thing! |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 04:53 pm   Well Moon I'm so glad you asked!!! There's a thread on "The Sims" and that will tell you exactly what they are. ../9200/23811.html?1008278404 |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 05:54 pm   Game I was an amazing experience. Game II was an unforgettable experience. Game III we will never experience. No one who knows The Game will regret it. |

Neko | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 07:35 pm   I'm sorry guys! I didn't realize that just asking what The Game was and if there'd be a third would ruffle so many feathers! I'v only been here since the middle...wait..or was it the beginning...anyway, of BB2 so I didn't know that The Games hadn't gone well at all. Sorry again you guys. |
Solidsnake | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:57 pm   You have been a very naughty naughty girl wombat segal, u deserve to be spanked. ;-) |
