Spygirl | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 06:38 pm     Pamy, did you mean "wasn't offended" or "was offended"? |
Grannyg | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 06:46 pm     Monica and Sheree I don't really know a lot about this place but they had articles on the 12 teams and I was just reading it. Maybe this is why that question was over at MW.... Sheree wants to show that two black women can achieve anything. I think their competitive drive will be a good thing for their team because they both have that yearning to win. Sheree states that she knows Ebonics, which gave me a good laugh. |
Tabbyking | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 06:51 pm     gosh, i don't even remember what i put as the answer. like you, i figured 5 points wasn't much--no matter what i put for an answer. |
Hippyt | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:00 pm     Well,there you go,that's why MW included the question! They always do their homework. |
Tabbyking | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:28 pm     aha! good sleuthing, grannyg! now i am certain MW did not mean to offend with their ebonics question. |
Pamy | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:51 pm     ooopss!!!! YES Spygirl, I meant to say NOT offended, sorry!!! |
Tabbyking | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 07:55 pm     that's why spy has the 'doctor' in front of her name! |
Squaredsc | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 08:39 pm     ok im not going to touch this here and at this time. |
Twinkie | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 08:47 pm     I got my picks in! But I'll probably end up in the sucks thread. LOL |
Egbok | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 09:51 pm     Re: Ebonics FWIW, my officemate is a black woman. When we first met, she let me know that she liked to be referred to as "black" and not African American. She also let me know that she would be using "ebonics" when she had a comfort level with me. Guess what? Within a few weeks of working together, she started using ebonics with me in our conversation, especially when we found something particularly funny. I'm half'n'half, being part Latina and part whitey. Our boss now is waiting for me to start speaking "ebonics" and who knows, I just might because it's a fun language to hear. I bring this up, not to upset anyone on this thread or start controversy, but because I wanted posters to know that ebonics indeed exists in my everyday world and I'm comfortable with the language. I live in the Los Angeles area. |
Egbok | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 10:09 pm     Does Magilla make an appearance this leg? (25 Minutes of Fame) No Yes Who's Magilla? |
Tabbyking | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 10:56 pm     the monkey of surviiivor 5, who stole the food and looked so damn cute all the time! the cappuchin-type monkey, like the angel's baseball team's little guy... |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 03:24 pm     the loser bingo choices are up.... |
Alaginger | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 03:50 pm     FYI During the latter part of Survivor 6, I was having trouble at Loser Biiingo. I would bring up my card, and there would be questions but no squares to put the answers in........or sometimes the squares would be there but they would follow me down the page as I scanned down. I asked for help, and they told me to shut down completely, reboot and try again.....and it worked every time. It just happened again to me putting my answers in for AR4, so if anybody else has this problem........shut down completely, reboot, and go straight to Loser Biiingo and make your picks before going anywhere else. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 05:07 pm     mine won't work with sbc yahoo, so i have to get out of here and go to my old netscape 7. otherwise, i get long grey columns, or will get rows of things to select from but no way to choose them! even rebooting wouldn't help, but at least i have another way to get there. |
Hippyt | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 06:09 pm     OK,I got hubby signed on,put on the league.I made my mw picks.I made my pick's on Spongey's game. I need to make my picks on Putergirl's game,biiingo,and gold diiiger. Man,this show is a lot of work! |
Egbok | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 09:08 pm     MediiiaWhore Team Select *4* I have another question or two. On the last MW question is states the above. Do I pick 4 teams? Why would I pick 4 teams? Does the answer to this question (my 4 picks) remain the same throughout the MW game? I know, I know, I should figure this stuff out for myself but I'm too tired to sort through it and I've never played MW before. Thanks for any help here! |
Clp | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 09:37 pm     I'm in! Good to see so many super Survivor spoilers. Y'all don't forget how wonky Realiiity gets on days of the shows and it is sometimes nearly impossible to get your picks in if you wait till the last minute. Get them in early! |
Yuknomenot | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 09:53 pm     Awareinva!! I'm quite happy that I'm not alone with the troubles of that site. I'm going to try 1 more time to get into the game (I'm a glutton for punishment ), though from the lack of response/suggestions from the rest of the group here, my presence or lack thereof will not be missed *l*. I hope you got your troubles with the site straightened out. |
Alaginger | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 07:40 am     Egbok.....you pick 4 teams out at the beginning of the show. MW has a points system they use to give you Bonus points if any of your 4 teams do any of the things they have selected to give Bonus points for. These are points in addition to answering the questions. Sometimes the points are minus points (LOL). Like Debra/Steve were a nerdy couple this week (-10 points).... or something like that. You can change your 4 teams any time you want to, but you lose points if you do. If one of your 4 teams gets eliminated, you can then pick another one without losing any points. Towards the end of the race, MW will announce to go down to 3 teams, then later down to 2 teams, and then ultimately to 1 team. If I've messed up anything here, somebody else straighten me out........ |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 08:13 am     perfectly clear, alaginger! |
Egbok | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 08:54 am     Thanks Alaginger, you made perfect sense to me and I appreciate your helpful information!

Alaginger | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 05:13 pm     FYI It is almost 24 hours til AR4 airs. There are currently 33 leagues at Mediawhore. We have 38 members on our team. The only other team that has a large number of members, has 28 members. Most of the leagues have only 6, 7 or 8 members. So........if you are on our league, please remember to make your picks early and don't get blocked out on Thursdays when they get over-busy, because it will bring our average down and then we will really suck. Hopefully, nobody will have to start an "I SUCK" thread. (LOL) |
Awareinva | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 06:04 pm     Yuknomenot.... Loser Biiingo still crashes my computer every time . I am not going to try to play that this time. I can get into the TAR Realiiity site ok so far (crossing fingers). Hope you can get in and figure it out. Don't wait too late... Realiiity is a bear to get into the afternoon a show airs!  |
Lwebster1 | Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 07:08 pm     Does anybody else think that this game is similar to when E! was doing it's Studio Boss game? Man I loved that game. Hopefully I'll like this one. I haven't played it before. I hope I don't drag down our league's avg! Good luck everybody! |
