I'd really like to know how many other feel the same way that I do - that we are not just "viewers, as we were on BB" but players in the game, just from a different vantage point. I've mentioned it a few times and seen a few "I agrees - but don't know if they were agreeing to THAT or other parts of my post"

When I first started to feel like a player - wondered if we had a Red Room in THIS side - where I could see the shrink LOL.

But I honestly do feel that way - watched BB and every live-feed and thousands of posts, I was always just a viewer - chatting here amongst friends about the game. Never felt like a PART of the game. But there is just as much going ON on this side - if not MORE then on that side - the only DIFFERENCE I see between the BG's and us is that we see their side of the game through the one-way mirrors, and as far as we know they don't see us from their side.

Don't know - I've mentioned it a few times in posting but I guess I'd just like to know that I'm not alone and am not crazy.

Plllllllllllease tell me I'm not crazy.

I do hope that nobody INTENTIONALLY tries to add more fuel to the current smoldering fire - it's been a bit too intense. I think some truely boring days with very light hearted banners/ challenges and easy-fun-topics are in order. Give everyone a chance to calm down - deal with all issues that have come up - and regroup and give people a chance to make personal decisions as to who they do/ don't need to apologize too, and so on.

I enjoyed at first feeling like a "player" because it was very interesting to me that this game could somehow turn into a "Twilight Zone Episode: House of Mirrors - inside a house of mirrors, inside a house of mirrors"

Then I begin to think - that those of us on this side really ARE players in this game. We have more conspiracy theories, more challenges - trying to figure out who's who, who's done what, who's cheated - who hasn't - how all these various things should be taken. The personal attacks, rampant paranioa, and so on and so on and so on. The only part of this GAME that WE really don't have is a "Red Room"

(and no tshirt for the one who lives through this and doesn't come out of it feeling like they somehow got transported while asleep into the middle of a maximum security insane asylum for the criminally insane)

Well - I for one wasn't really PLANNING on being a Player in this game and dammit we don't even have an abrreivation like the BG's and the HGs!!! I in some way enjoyed feeling like a player because of the insite that a "game in development" could somehow end up with more dimensions then anyone could have forseen.

Well I sure hope I am not alone in this, and if I am not can we at least get an abbreviation instead of always having to refer to ourselves as "those on the outside" or some other longwinded reference. LOL

Folks here's a saying I wrote years ago - when going through a depression -

I will strive, to improve my life,
One step at a time, One step a day,
What will be my step today?

Gee, Whit, we're all crazy here! It was bad enough when we were spending our waking hours watching the real house and now how do you explain to people that you are pretending to watch a pretend house??? And having conversations about things that maybe aren't really happening about people who maybe aren't who we think they are--or are more than one person...Calderon de la Barca said it best when he wrote "All life is a dream", that we dream we are doing what we think is reality and that the dreams themselves are only dreams. Who knows what is real? Remember that song..."They're coming to take me away, ha, ha! They're coming to take me away, hee, hee!" It's just a comforting thought that our little padded cell will be so full of all the nice people we met here!

Whit4you, you said, "Can we at least get an abbreviation instead of always having to refer to ourselves as 'those on the outside' or some other longwinded reference."

We are the the OS... as in Out Siders. (not to be confused with operating system)

Heyteach! Too late... They already carted us away "to the funny farm... where life is..."

Damn pugs. (for you Annie Banannie)

players are on the inside.
spectators are on the outside.

Spectator here. I've been away the whole week due to a family crisis. Wow! What the hell is going on?? I feel like I've been reading script from a Soap Opera.

My gut reaction is, it's just a game and ArReal apparently tried to handle what she perceived as "breaking the rules" in her own honest style. Then Vykin and Tali/Gail/Ryder reacted with guarded poise. This whole 3-some thing just added spice to the game.

As far as being "crazy" . . .include me on that list as I agree with Heytech's statement above that we're all crazy in here.

Ocean!!! Thank you so much for the great week in review. I was gone all week as well and I'm still trying to catch up. I especially appreciated your neutral tone and the overall impressions of each player throughout the week.

:o) Pugs get the piggy, Nos
