Archive through November 08, 2003
Adven | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:16 pm     The voting has officially closed and we have a winner. Lori and Mak you have both displayed what I hoped this game would be all about: having fun, being silly, thinking outside the box, being good sports and, most importantly, getting to know each other a little bit better. You two have done this as well or better than anyone else. I have been amazed by the energy, enthusiasm, creativity and humor both of you have shown. The closeness of the vote and the thought many of the judges put into making their decisions speaks volumes about both of you and the high esteem you are held in. Both of you have won this game as far as I'm concerned. Thirteen people voted and the final total was 7 to 6 (Thank God I didn't have to break a tie). She began by posting a simple picture in the first challenge. She travelled to Australia, England and Italy in the Amazing Race. She provided us with lists of birds and movies and such in Challenge #3. She accepted a rose from a teammate in the Bachelor/ette challenge. She made us laugh in the Last Comic Standing. She frightened us in Fear Factor. She had a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Then she put on her detective's hate and went hunting for a mole. From there she presented us with America's Next Top Model. Then she took on Alex Trebek and played Jeopardy. Finally, she showed her grit and determination in the endurance challenge. Clearly, she has shown that fear is not a factor for her. The winner of Adven's Reality Marathon is ... MAK!!!!! |
Jan | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:19 pm     Congratulations to both Mak and Lori for playing a great game!!! Congrats to Lori for being HOH THREE!!!!! times and an extra congrats to Mak for winning the game |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:21 pm     OHMYHECK! *faints* |
Twiggyish | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:35 pm     YEAH MAK!!!! |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:38 pm     I was so sure Lori had the votes that I was out gif shopping for her. I realize with another couple votes, she could very well have had the majority. Thank you all so much for playing, following the game, encouraging, voting and laughing with us. Adven, you outdid yourself with this game...and I'd say that no matter who had won. We're all winners just for the friendships that were made or strengthened. I consider Lori my co-winner and want to give my gifs to my fierce competitor who showed me my own competitive side that I didn't realize I had, lol. Ok, they aren't cooperating right now, I'll try later. |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:39 pm     For Lori:

Zachsmom | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:43 pm     YAY MAK!!! |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:45 pm     Flowers for Zmom, who could just as easily have won if the timing of the final competition had been in her favor:
Thank you Pamy and Zmom! |
Twiggyish | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:47 pm     Congratulations to Lori for also playing a good game =) Those gifs are so pretty Mak! |

Texannie | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:21 pm     Congrats Mak! |
Reader234 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:39 pm     Wow!! Congratulations...
and what zmom said *grin!! |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:44 pm     Thanks Zmom, Kelly mascot *grin*, Ms Intro Yourself, and Reader! |
Mware | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Congratulations to Mak for Outwitting, Outlasting, and Outplaying all the others! Game well played and played well, I'd say. Congratulations to Lori for making it a close game, and for being a shining example of the spirit of good competition! Congratulations to Z-Mom for a strong showing, and for recognizing that, as much as we all wish it were, this isn't Real Life. Congratulations to all the other game players who made watching every move, challenge, and plot twist fun and exciting, day after day. Congratulations to all the people who posted in here even though they weren't official players. The comments and observations you made added immensely to the enjoyment of the game. Congratulations to the game-lurkers for sticking it out from beginning to end, even though you weren't directly involved. Show producers never know the names of the people who watch their shows, but there would be no reason to put the shows on the air if no one watched them. And lastly, Congratulations to Adven. What you've put together here is nothing short of remarkable. The time and planning that went into creating the game, and the love and care that went into each challenge or twist, made following along one of the things I looked forward to most each day. Creating an environment of friendly competition which enabled people to get to know each other better and have fun is something which has a certain nobility to it. It was a great thing you did, and don't ever forget it. If you ever need a pick-me-up on a day when you're feeling down, think of this game and smile with pride. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:53 pm     awe crap Mware, now your going to make me cry ((HUG)) well stated! |
Twiggyish | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:55 pm     I totally agree. Adven has proven it can be done with humor and fun! |
Mak1 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:57 pm     That was beautiful, (((Mware))), thank you. |

Reader234 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 04:06 pm     {{{mware}} I agree!! Well stated!! oops almost forgot... ADVEN RULES!! |
Grannyg | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 04:06 pm     I am so sad this is over.........I know I will have withdrawals. What am I gonna read first thing every morning now? Adven, this has been terrific. Everyone who played, did a great job and you did a great job directing it. You were in your prime. I cannot remmeber having as much fun playing a game as I have had with this game. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!! |
Pamy | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 04:14 pm     I started the Cosmo tip of the day thread in hopes it would tide us over until Adven does another adventure |
Egbok | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Congratulations Mak!! Even though I couldn't officially follow this game, I'd go into lurkerdom and try to officially follow along...but with an Adven game, well...I'm totally out of my league! So with that said, I applaud your win in this Adven game because with an Adven game, you just never know who's gonna win in the end...and look at the outcome!! WooHoo!! Hail Mak!! Hail Innocent Lori and hail anybody who dared to play in Adven's game. I admire each and every one of you....including Adven.
