Starting at 9:06 pm on October08 - read the conversation there between
Roger_Ramjet & Talisker. Read it for at least 25 posts and I think you will begin to see how Surreal this all is. They aren't just "playing make believe" They are really *there* - Trying to get to know one another under even more difficult circumstances as having to adjust mic's etc. Those two in that chat reminded me so much of any two of the BB houseguests trying to get to know one another. There were others "chatting" as well in other "rooms" or areas of their little virtual world, but they were trying to talk one -on-one and get to know each other under a microscope - perhaps we can't SEE them but they know, even more-so then the BB houseguests did, that every word they say is being / or will be viewed by others. What made me finally see the big picture of what I thought was a group of 10 people "acting" like they were on Big brother - is that Roger said they shouldn't go chat in private "take their mic's off" - because it wasn't in the spirt of this game.

The Players in this game are slowly getting to know one another - in small groups as best they can under the circumstances, and what has appeared to US as them "acting" or "being silly" or playing make believe is really what their world IS right now. They are in a "house" where they can't SEE each other, and are talking in the dark, leaving messages for each other on the fridge because they are having a hard time "connecting"

I think if you take the time to read a few ONGOING conversations between them you will see how real this game is to them. You just need to understand the metephors they are using.

Some of them have some pretty clever strategies, too.
