Questions from the press about the game:
Archive through October 11, 2003
Indenial | Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 10:20 pm     Adven - I am indenial about how this whole game has transpired up to this point. You do not know me but I am a highly respected (in some places) journalist. And well, at least I know how to ask questions and though I'll be indenial about some answers ...I actually have a few for you and the first loser of this game. Is that appropriate - to be called the loser...or should I call her death or some such thing that was mentioned earlier? Anyway, the questions... 1. How do you feel about being the first one evicted from the group and do you think that cheating played a big part in your demise? 2. How do you feel about the fact that your team mates are wanting to call you death or some such name now that you have been discarded? Are you in denial about that? No wait - that would be me. 3. Are you glad you played the game and would you do it again if given the chance? (Maybe they'll have you come back as a ghost or something.) Well, good luck to you in all your future endeavors! Apparently, as much as I am indenial about it, the tribe has spoken. And now, two questions for Adven. 1. Adven, as the host, producer and director of the show - how did it make you feel to be put in your own little corner so as not to "clutter up the boards" at this forum? Need I say, I am SO INDENIAL about that! 2. How do really feel about a relative unknown coming in and adding another segment (the press) to your game? Will I be beaten soundly with a wet noodle for interfering in a game in which I may not be welcome?? Or will I be welcomed to come in and have wet noodles with the members of the game? Or will we all find out that there are no wet noodles to be talked about at the moment because I can't decide if that is a too close to being modded idea. Hmmmmmm....until next time! Think of these and other off the wall things until we see who will be the next person dead to the others...on Adven's Great Reality Adventure! |
Pamy | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 05:16 am     I can't wait to see Adven's responses!!! |
Adven | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 08:06 am     Ack! The press! I hadn't counted on a moral watchdog standing over my shoulder. I've consulted my lawyer (Goddess) and her response was "Sue the B@stards!", although that's her response to just about everything since she makes more if we go to trial. I have nothing to hide, however, and have decided to answer the questions. 1. As for the whole "cluttering up the board" thing, I take no offense, since cluttering up the board is my thing and I take great pride in it. I see it as a great honor to be given my own area to clutter. I know there is a misconception among some that the mods don't appreciate my particular brand of nonsense and are currently training crows to peck out my eyes. Nothing could be further from the truth. They're seagulls. Just kidding. The mods and I like to rib each other like that. In reality there is no problem between us and they have told me so the 417 times I have either been suspended or banned. Seriously, though, I think setting up this area for us is a great idea and I appreciate them doing it. If the game was becoming a headache for them, it would have been easier just to pull the plug. The fact that they didn't, to me, suggests they are working to find ways to allow people from a variety of perspectives, backgrounds and expectations to share the board. I like it. 2. As for the press entering the game, I must admit it threw me at first. I'm underhanded and lack even the basic requirements to be considered a decent human being. I am at peace with that, but I don't need the press reminding me of it on a daily basis. Still, I am an accomplished liar and am willing to sell my own grandmother if means I might come out smelling like a rose, so I'm going to chance it and welcome the press with open arms. 3. You will not be beaten with a wet noodle. You forget, I have viagara. Nor are you interfering in any way. I think this will add a great dimension to the game and look forward to your posts. |
Texannie | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 09:13 am     WOW, Adven..sucking up to the mods...were you physically threatened?????  |
Wink | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 09:15 am     Adven as your facilitator I strongly suggest you get hold of a PR person before you go spouting off in these interviews. Once you allow the press such direct access you are opening yourself up to all kinds of abuse. Hell the next thing you know they'll be casting a movie about you and you'll have no control over "their" choice. And as your significant other I am vehemently opposed to BenLo, JenBen, LopAf, etc. making a mockery of our relationship on screen. Oh the inhumanity!!!!! |
Squaredsc | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 10:33 am     like ad-wink or wink-ven? lol. |
Adven | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 11:04 am     Not sucking up, Annie - although I'm not above a little brown-nosing when the situation calls for it. I'm just trying to save my scapegoat, Jan, who is skating on thin ice. I've tried to get her to pull in the reins a bit, but the woman has a death wish. Come to think of it, she hasn't been around in the last day or two. Maybe she already got banned. Serves her right, the way she's been carrying on. Anyway, R.I.P., Jan. I am now taking scapegoat applications to replace the possibly demised Jan. The work's easy, but may only be temporary if Jan is any indication. Good thinking, Wink. I have hired an agent, Izzy Goldbrick, to represent me. He has access to all the stars and has already contacted Gary Coleman to play me. If we can get a big fish like Gary, Meryl Streep has agreed to play you. Not the actress, the telemarketer who lives up the road. So, as you can see, any fears about anyone making a mockery of our relationship are groundless. |
Wink | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 11:19 am     Well thank goodness for Izzy. That's why he gets paid the big bucks. |
Indenial | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 11:48 am     Thank you, Adven, for your most important words. It is good for folks to know that you do not feel in anyway penalized, persecuted or otherwise abolished by being "put away" like you obviously have been. Now, as for your statement about selling your grandmothers underarms that smell like pressed roses...can you elaborate on that? Patichou? Patichou? Your public awaits... |
Adven | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 12:03 pm     "Put away" is such an ugly term, Mike (hope you don't mind me calling you "Mike"; pretending you're Mike Wallace gives me an inflated sense of myself). I find it much more flattering to think of myself as a caged zoo animal - a tiger, a fire ant or an aardwolf - that must be contained. The public can come and visit the magnificent beast, but for his own safety and the safety of the general public, he cannot roam free. As for the sale of my grandmother, I have been told by my attorney not to discuss her until after the police investigation. There are a few things I'd love to share about her underarms, I can tell you, but my lawyer has muzzled me on the topic. |
Twiggyish | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 01:21 pm     hahahaha!!! Hiya Indenial..you're a riot..LOL |
Jan | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 01:39 pm     ACK!!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED!!! I go away for 24 hours and the Adven world falls apart. All I can find is this thread and I only found it because of a note Reader left for me in another thread. What happened? Where is Adven's den? How do I find it? As official scapegoat I must ask, "what did I do?"..Yes, I will accept personal blame for whatever went wrong. The buck stops with me and all that stuff. Besides I have just now discovered that Reader has expressed a need for my lamentably inept help.I must do whatever I can to come through. Where do I go? Where do I go folks? (assuming I am not banned yet) EDITED TO ADD: It's OK I went to gen disc and found the MAIN Thread so I am ready to start reading and see what happened but reader, you will understand that first I must finish watching S.O. which is on right this second |
Reader234 | Friday, October 10, 2003 - 02:20 pm     Jan, I fear a new rule may be applied, Adven has this 'power' which keeps interfering with real life. Now I fear for Pat, no one's seen her. I didnt know how far Adven was going to take the death part. I thought just plates went into the fire!! So your penalty may have you reading all 400+ posts, just so you dont miss anything. And make sure you dont have anything near the computer, sometimes its just a spit away from splittn a gut!! oh, and dont tell anyone where I can 'secretly' find you if I need you!! Glad you can come to the rescue so readily!! ;) BUT addictions do come first!! |
Indenial | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 02:41 am     I felt it was important to come back and clarify something lest someone inadvertently think that I was being less than honest in my posting and in my journalistic endeavors. I am not - I repeat NOT - Mike Wallace. Inflating the egos of the people that I interview are not my top priority. Inflating my own, however, is of extreme importance. Why else would I have come to such a place unwanted and uninvited, I ask you? I am shocked - truly SHOCKED that you were unable to come up with my true identity. I mean, after the remarks about your grandflower's undermothers - I would think that there would be no question of who I am, or at least who I am pretending to be. Who else could I be, but...Hair-All-Doh! By the way, in the second immunity challenge (The Amazing Race), how come that first group had four tasks yet the others only had three? Don't forget, Adven, the press is watching you always...Cheating may be encouraged and expected, but it will also be exposed - especially with yours truly on your trail. HA! (as well as hahahaha and lol...) |
Adven | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 07:15 am     Well, Mike, I think I know who you are, but I still prefer to think of you as Mike Wallace because, well, I'm in denial. As for why some players got 4 questions and others only 3, I exhausted all I know about Australia, England and Italy pretty quickly and it didn't divide evenly among the number of players. Of course, I could have looked up some more questions, but that struck me suspiciously like work and I prefer to enjoy myself. |
Mak1 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 07:31 am     For the record, the Kelly-Guarinis felt the second immunity challenge was fair. We were up to the challenge and have thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent Adven's game so far. We are impressed with his intelligence, wit and unswerving implementation/interpretation of the rules with unbiased consideration for both teams. (not to mention his sexiness, which is a story all by itself <sigh>) |
Twiggyish | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 07:35 am     I second that! |
Adven | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 08:55 am     Why do I have this feeling that the Kelly Guarini women are playing me like a fiddle? |
Mware | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 09:24 am     <...thinks Adven is French for Stradivarius...> |
Reader234 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:00 pm     I would like to ask the press a question, and not just any press, I'm thinking we need a Washington Post, a Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Our team has had a disadvantage during these very clever, insightful challenges. That disadvantage being something has happened to one team player BEFORE each challenge, thus making it impossible to complete these brilliant,masterly challeneges. The RA's are a very adroit team and have been up to the challenges... Coicendence? I think not!! So Indenial, do you have a most experience reporter to handle this assignment? We would be most appreciative. |
Jan | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:09 pm     maybe each team needs a sub in case someone is indisposed for a challenge? |
Twiggyish | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:20 pm     That's a good idea! |
Reader234 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:25 pm     hey, I dont want a sub, I wanna find my kidnapped teammates!! We dont need no stinkin.... wait wrong movie... |
Zachsmom | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:36 pm     LOL Reader, that was pretty fun trying to locate all the team-members! Felt like a real race..lol |
Reader234 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 03:55 pm     LOL, that was fun!! And I did notice you in a few of those folders too!! I was afraid of getting a warning of posting in other threads... but I couldnt stop myself, I was posessed I blame Adven of course!! |
