Archive through January 22, 2001
Fruitbat | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 01:17 pm  There are other boards, who shall remain namless , that are gearing up for this show and we are clearly lacking . Maybe Game II is taking the energy. We can do both. In fact get your Game II asses over here and contribute. Now this is the deal. We have read their bio's or if not, we will soon, right? We have a gut idea of who appeals and who may not . My proposition.... choose now, before the game starts, who we think will win. We HAVE to choose now, that is the imperitive of this thread . The deal is, and hear this..... that we have to defend our choice no matter what happens. We may change our minds and that is OK. But we have to defend our oriningal choice no matter what. We must choose NOW before the show starts. This is an exercize in vaguely eduacated intuition. There will be other threads for us to discuss our changes and the how and why of it all. I will put all the correct guesses in a hat and pick the winner. I will send a modest yet perfect prize to the winner unless Neil thinks this is wacked and then I will not do it.  |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 01:21 pm  That would be  |
Kady99 | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 01:48 pm  I totally agree with you, we need to get our butts in gear. I am one who will admit that I haven't read the bio's. Hope they are in the clubhouse somewhere. I promise to look for them and read and get back here with some kind of prediction. I just know I'm gonna pick somebody and after I watch the first show, hate their guts. But I'll play. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 01:58 pm  Ok, Bat, although I see this as yet another chance for you to hurt me. I too hope the profiles are somewhere on the board. I'll take a look and get my guess in. I think we should all throw in $10, and winner(s) take all. hehehe <damn, I'm a sucker for a game! damn competition thing> <does a barrel roll, expecting arrows> |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 01:59 pm  Neil, please email me. I pick Alicia for the win. This is official |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 02:16 pm  I pick Keith for the win. (Tina a close second--I like both of them!) Bat, when is last chance for picking?? These two are so close for me, I'd like to reserve right to change before deadline, although if by writing it already, it's final, then I can live with that. |
Digilady | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 02:16 pm  Check this: Suvivor II Cast hmmmmmm! |
Leap | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 02:21 pm  I will pick. I am a little busy the next day or two, but will have mine in soon. |
Wcv63 | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 02:27 pm  There is a fantastic board that already has a contest running exactly like this. Please feel free to join us. http://www.realityroxs.com |
Digilady | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 03:11 pm  So the ex-CBs actually created a site. http://www.realityroxs.com/about.shtml Methinks I recognize those initials. But this one is home!! |
Adven39 | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 03:47 pm  Actually, Digi, I'm a member of both Realityroxs and TVCH and they're both kind of homey. RR has a lot of the same posters - me, Anna, me, Wcv, me, Sara, me, Merlin, me, Wink, me, Fruitbat, me, Willi and me. Ocean, Moon and a number of others have also signed up. And it has members that don't currently post here. It even has a tutu-wearing walrus and a man in blue tights. I hope TVCH posters will get involved at both sites. Just a note of caution, though. I have already selected Amber, the cheerleader, over at RR and I play to win. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 03:58 pm  Adven, are you going to select her for here as well? I like your style! Why play if it's not to win! |
Kady99 | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 04:11 pm  This is like totally hard. I am leaning towards the Texan but I am gonna have to think on it just a little bit more. |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 04:46 pm  I offer an apology. Seems I have stepped on some toes. I created this thread in good spirit. Nikkid created the site RR that Wvc mentioned above. It was her idea to have a contest to defend a survivor. I give her credit for a terrific consept. I wanted to spark interest here and had no intention of "stealing" anything. I am naive to the ways of the web. RR is a good site and I encourage you all to check it out. I am sorry for any misunderstanding. Just wanted to spread the wealth. My intention was sincere.  |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 04:51 pm  Bat, can't we do it here too? Can you just ask permission to play it here with the folks of this sight?? Never figured you would do anything insincere like that. Hope no one else would either, as you are a respectful person. |
Digilady | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 05:20 pm  Both places, why not? LOL Not like you can take out a copyright.. I vote for the dweeb guy well in advance! (Hey he's cute, too) |
Digilady | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 05:27 pm  Re the other site: they were not particularly complimentary towards =this= one, as I recall: "Anyhoo, all three of us saw a link to the Big Brother Fan Club someone posted on the boards, and sometime during that show, and the long aftermath awaiting survivor and the mole, our friendship was cemented." [...] "With the advent of The Mole and Survivor and what we liked and disliked about both of the above mentioned boards, my friends kindly agreed to help me in this swansong of a site." (Note: other site was survivorsux.com. TVCH and SurvivorSux.com were the only two listed.] There's a lot of room to expand, in the Reality world. One would hope it can at least be done with decency and respect. |
Admin | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:02 pm  The quality and quantity of Survivor material on here depends on you the users, not me the admin. I try to add good stuff, but it's time consuming. I offer this forum for you all to enjoy, and I hope you do. If you want to go elsewhere I guess there's nothing I can do about it; I don't have the energy to try and convince people to stay....if the site and the people aren't power enough, so be it. Please, by all means, go ahead and vote for your Survivor! I hope to get their pictures up soon (in similar fashion to how they are in The Mole and U8TV areas.  |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:07 pm  I'm not going anywhere Neil!!!! I just wanted to be able to play the little game here of picking someone at the beginning and defending them. Sounds fun to do here. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:36 pm  I'm missing something. Where does it suggest we go to another board to play this? Bat, did you get in trouble for not getting permission from another board to play this over here? |
Vitresse | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:40 pm  This is from their site: Sproutster Do you see the realityrox.com logo? Do you see the Copyright notice below it? Do you know what it means? It means, if you take my writing (Let's say hypothetically Defend Your Survivor Game) and make it your own, or alternately take it elsewhere, I am entitled to damages. I am also entitled if you give this to another. If I saw a copy of my game anywhere, I would download the page and take it to my solicitor if it was not removed. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:47 pm  Vitresse, are you the owner of the board in question, or just posting to answer my question? The concept of picking someone up front would seem hard to copyright--the name of the game could be copyrighted though. Any lawyers out there? |
Admin | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:54 pm  I did receive some email from somebody saying there was something copyrighted in this thread, but dammed if I can tell what it is!??? I went through all this with CBS..........doesn't anyone read the Terms of Use Agreement!? geez.... Anyways, please play the Survivor Guessing game! I don't have a problem with it!! My pick is Jerri. Go Jerri Go!! |
Digilady | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:55 pm  Ahem. Like no one ever came up with an idea this simplistic? Guess ahead of time who will win a contest? BWAHahhah... oops |
Vitresse | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 07:02 pm  Just posting an answer <relurk> |
