Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:01 pm  Moon--did you feel his posts were that much different between in here and out there??? |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:06 pm  Yes, & No ... he always came across as smart, witty and a bit cutting outside more than in here.... But we never interacted out there and in here I got to know him on a different level. What about you... do you find him different? |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:14 pm  Not at all! Out there he was a bit more cutting more freqently---although I think that had more to do with the post. If he thought it was a lme post, he pounced and pounced hard. With all the posters out there and with all the different topics we were talking about, there is a heck of a lot more chances to see bad, attacking, factless posts. I saw plenty of times that decent posts got his attention, and that edge you mentioned--although they struck me as about the same tone. Of course in here he had posts for getting to know people, where out there it wasn't like that. Jus my take---based on similar good posts out there, he would respond in similar fashion. I found your comment about nominating based on friends instead of competition to be a surprise! Other than Zeb would they have been different? And why would you rather vote based on relathionships that competing in the game?? (just asking becuase I find that subject very interesting in gemeral) |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:21 pm  I say that and then have to turn around and remind myself it is a game. I am a very competitive person but I do have compassion so I am torn sometimes! |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:26 pm  Well, one thing that has been a similarity between BB and BG-----everyone has said that the nominations are by far the worst part of the game! LOL Just 1 more nomination round---each perosn will end up picking 3 out of 5 possibilities. Does that make it easier or harder for you?? And do you expect that over the next week we will bond more now that there are only 6, or do you think that aspect is more a function of the people that are present, without regard to how many?? |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:36 pm  That all depends on what happens this week ... of course nominations will be hard ... we all think it is the worst part of the game. What about you do you think it will be easier or harder ... you did get a feel of what it was like on the outside ... will that change your strategy or mind about who you will pick? |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:45 pm  No, what I experienced won't change how I have intended to vote. My short stay showed that we all have people pulling for us, and we all have people that want to vote our asses off at the first chance possible! LOL I admit that I will vote by competition, because if I voted by friends I've made in here, I won't have anyone to vote for!! I would hope that the competittion thing wouldn't get in the way of how muc I care about those in here...I've said before that best of friends can go at each other on the fild, and be great friends off the field. I only hope everyone here is willing to see it like that, and not equate caring about someone with a lack of willingness to vote for someone. The voting is the only voice we have in what happens...I'm like Eddie in that respect...it is a privilege (as well as a responsibility). I hope that doesn't stike you as too cold hearted--- |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:49 pm  Why would I think that be cold hearted... it's how I have been nominating! I also think it is important to go at it on the field and embrace afterwards! |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:54 pm  I was wondering about the cold hearted issue beacuse of your thinking of changing how you voted...going to the "friendship" side. I agree about the issue of how to be off the filed. The one exception of just going at it on the filed is if you see someone you are attrcked to--then you just go for a "cheap shot" as a form of embracing. LOL---kidding! |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:59 pm  LOL... that all depends on how much you can get out of it! |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:02 pm  <very evil grin> |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:02 pm  hi roger -moon, I'm back for how long who knows, I have to pick up my son later from a volleyball tournament. Roger, regarding the "floks" (cud it be folks?) last night interrupting the chat. There was only one that I recognized, and I asked that person to stop chatting a few times as well. The others I don't know about. That person in particular, it was really weird, Roger, because it seemed so very out of character to do that, to keep disrupting the chat. That person normally isn't like that. So, I don't know what happened there. That's why I posted, because it didn't sound at all like the person, I know. In terms of the nominations, In reference to Zebulon, he had starting new topic folders, and as you probably noticed thats where I spend a lot of my time posting. So, thats why I asked him to set up some folders before he left. That's all, I sent a red room to the Interrogator or, "Gato" as I usually call him. He emailed asking how I felt about Xenia and Zeb leaving, I said few things then just said, "Outta sight, outta mind". |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:04 pm  Hi Vykin... how are feeling today? How is your neck? |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:06 pm  LOL Roger, I tend to agree with you, though I don't have any real set plan or strategy. Have to admit, it makes you think before nominations, and then after banishment. I find myself actually "feeling" the stress of having to make decisions or vote someone I've come to like in here. The only person I regret nominating I think was Mantastic, because I sent my nominations in early, and he had started posting some good stuff. I was disappointed when he voluntarily withdrew. |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:07 pm  Yes, should have been "folks" lol I think that for how many have been in chat the last couple of times, just a couple people getting in the middle is pretty good. Never know if there is a fight going on with anyone out there---a person can sign on as someone else, screw things up really bad, and end up getting that person in trouble!! Just a thought of how an out-of-character situation could happen?? It always sucks when someone you've been having good interactions with has to leave! I have to go get food here shortly, so will be taking leave for a bit, although will be here al evening! Vyk/Moon, see you in a bit. |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:08 pm  moon you asked while I was typing, lol. Neck feeling much better, don't need pain killers today, but last nite I went to bed early and slept in today. Went outside and had a look at what the real world is doing. Past 3 days were busy between TheGame, doctor tests, and presentations I had to do at conference. I just don't want to have to go through an operation if I can help it. |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:13 pm  Yeah, roger, I understand in terms of the chat room a person can type in any name they want, for example I could have gone in and typed Mantastic name or something, and no one would know I was imitating him. So I don't know whether the one person I recognized was the actual person I know. I had some fun today, did a revisit to all the houseguests websites, there's some neat stuff out there. Moon I always like yours. Nice to see Roger get one. I just had an update to my site. I'm lucky the person who offered to do it was someone I met during BigBrother Chat, so for them to set up a site for me, without knowing me was nice. |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:13 pm  It's always smart to to do anything to avoid an operation... sometimes though it can be more painful... Glad to hear that you were able to get out awhile .. the weather here isn't great but it soumds better up where you are. |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:15 pm  I love yours Vy... I still laugh at the official dog! And the Family photo album... you are so bad! |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:16 pm  It rained here yesterday and last nite, moon but today was nice and warm. Did some yard work, (lots of leaves to rake) My son seems to ensure he is very busy, its his job to rake the leaves! LOL but he's quite active in sports in school and he's away this weekend again for volleyball. |
Roger_Ramjet | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:16 pm  Vyk--good to hear things are a bit better. I concur with anyone who says it's great to avoid the knife! Shit, just as more postings are happening, I take off! See ya soon. |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:17 pm  Bye Roger... see ya soon! |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:20 pm  Moon actually that picture of "the WhiteHouse" with the dog. Another online friend had sent it to me. He had just put in a greenhouse. So when he sent a pic of it, I laughed and said, its white. So when this game came up, I thought it would be perfect because its White - thus whitehouse, and my friends dog was in the picture thus "buddy" (clintons dog). The family portrait of the WestWing folks, seemed appropriate. Actually I got nicknamed, ThePrez by some regulars in BigBrother Chat, and I forget now actually how it started, so they just kept calling me theprez. It seemed to all fit when I applied for this Game. I never ever have posted any real pictures of myself online because there are too many "nutcrackers" out there. So when I sent the pic to the Host, he seemed to accept it. I LOVE THE WEST WING SHOW HOWEVER. |
Vykin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:24 pm  Roger have a good meal. I just had Kentucky Fried and wasn't a good choice. Moon oh the Family Photos, a friend emailed that to me. Well I open it and theres this goofy picture of this guy. I laughed so hard. So I couldn't resist had to share with you folks. I have no idea who put that together. I also took the link and emailed to a bunch of my long term online friends and real friends, because my online friends don't know what I look like (and I don't have anything to hide I look fine), so when the online buddies got The Family Photos, they could wait to open it fast enough. Then they realized they'd been had! |
Moondance | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 05:25 pm  I love having behind the scene info... you had told me part of it before! The West Wing is a great show... well written and has an amazing cast... And I will always think of you as the Prez! So do you & your son have plans tonight after you pick him up? |
