Topic #5 - What do you think about Talisker?:
Archive through October 13, 2000
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 10:46 am  Hey, new topic.....Hmmmmmm, gonna have to think about this one first! |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:02 am  Shit... I should read these posts more carefully! |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:04 am  Man... a double agent! I'm floored! |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:14 am  Well, I just went back and reread the rules and there isn't anything that prohibits a moderator from participating. I guess I'd like to know if BigHost knew this information prior to choosing Gail/Ryder/Talisker?? If so, then why should Tali be punished?? This was BH's decision. And what difference does it make? As far as I'm concerned, she's just another player in the game, regardless of her obligations on the outside. I say get over it and play the game. Tali stays. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:20 am  I guess I just have some further questions that I think I'd like to ask--like if T/G/R (Tali/Gail/Ryder) has been a moderator, does she now also have limited access to the rest of the boards just like the rest of us? If so, then that's cool... Just want to make sure all of us have equal player knowledge... I'm dying to find out what people outside are saying about us... but I'm not even thinking about ruining things cuz I wanna have (and am having) a lot of fun here... Just hope that we're all on the same level, know what I mean? |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:24 am  Luke, good point. Maybe BigHost will address that question. Is G/T/R sequestered?? If so, then play on.... |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:25 am  Lemme try posting my question in the requests board... |
Zebulon | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:34 am  Well, my take on this is that even though Talisker seems to be a pleasant lady, having an outside advantage could also be used to HER advantage if done properly. I'm not going to list examples because it would just be laying ideas out on the table. My position is that the rules stated no outside contact and I find it difficult to believe Talisker has had no outside contact, so I would have to recommend a replacement player. I've also noticed her trying to initiate private chats. I thought private chats were against the rules. No offense to Talisker, but I'm not sure how she got into the game in the first place if she is a moderator. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:35 am  Hey there zeb... 'mornin! What you say is making me think a lot... Lemme give it some more thought... you make some points there... |
Zebulon | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:38 am  Hey Luke!! Good to see you. Well, I try to do what I can to make people think....one way or another. LOL! |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:40 am  Zeb, I was wondering about the "outside" chats myself. People keep making references to AOL Instant Messenger....I just can't believe they are talking to each other outside of the Game area...what's the point of playing the game if you aren't going to play fair. It's not really a game at all! I for one have stuck by the rules. I've had ZERO contact. And even when one of the members snuck me a website address in the chat, I emailed BigHost first before I spoke about it in the house. I wanted to make sure it was legal and that I wouldn't get booted! |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:43 am  I am still playing the game. The thing that upset me about the situation was the fact that Vyk also was told that Tali was Gail. In the Hot Tub area he denied everything, making me look like a liar. Also... If people recall, prior to entering the game, Gail and I had some problems going on and there were issues between us. I was confused by why she chose to reveal this truth to me while in the game. I felt used as a pawn. Ithink anyone in this situation would have felt likewise. I'm not saying she deserves to be thrown out of the game. As for Vyk, I would question his honestly. I WAS in fact telling the truth about Gail, and he in fact denied the knowledge. Who is the honest one in the game? Isn't part of the game about trust? who we can and can't? I want to know if I'm playing a game against a deceitful person. After all, sometimes deceit gives an advantage. nuff said. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:43 am  WHAT? I posted this a while ago... lemme say it again... Shit I gotta read these posts more carefully! You mean to tell me that people have been talking to each other outside of here? What a crock! When Mantastic left, I even said... "Let's hook up... AFTER we all get outta this house!" And I know that Mantastic most likely lives within 1/2 hour driving distance from me! What I'm tryin to say is... let's all come clean -- and play the game! I WANT THAT CD BURNER! |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:57 am  ArReal, I remember reading the crap that Gail was tossing you before the game started. I don't blame you for being upset and feeling uncomfortable. Vyk, I'd like to hear your response to ArReal...if you did in fact know this information, why weren't you honest? I agree that we should be able to trust each other and if that trust is broken, the conversations will break down and people will cease being open. I don't plan on making myself vulnerable to people that will abuse it. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 11:58 am  I'm posting my other post here.... I want to make sure EVERYONE reads this, because I'm quite perturbed and seriously reconsidering my future in this house. That's not fair--talking outside the boards. The rules state: * During the length of time in The Game, the Players posting privileges to the rest of the Board will be suspended. Players will be sequestered and can only post within The Game Play Room area, with their new alter-ego. Players will have access to READ the other areas of the board, but not the Game - Discussions area or Members Area. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 12:03 pm  Thanks May. I do tend to give my trust very easily. I always have. I am naive when it comes to that, I just never learn to not trust or to be cautious with who I decide to trust. I frequently get hurt by doing this, but it is a choice I willingly make time and time again. --I came clean Luke |
Zebulon | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 12:23 pm  Ok, I really don't think finger-pointing is going to solve anything with this problem. If anyone has had any outside contact, I would recommend you stop it before someone finds out...and they will. As for Talisker being a moderator, I think she should be replaced. End of story. |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 12:30 pm  I've just made up my mind about Talisker, and yes, it was the other stuff (chats, etc) that helped me come to my decision. I think considering the situation, Talisker should be replaced. |
Vykin | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 12:38 pm  HiMay regarding the rules about moderator, i read that also, and agree. It seems most people in this house were previous moderators with the exception of myself. Regarding your question of my honest. I am being honest, right up to my yingyang! AOL Instant Messaging is like ICQ in some ways. Arreal and Talis are AOL members. Sometimes when I'd be posting, arreal would be on and most of my conversations with arreal have been technical, asking about clipart, or she wud tell me what room she's gonna go to etc. It helps pass the time while waiting for messages to be posted. If that is a crime within this game then we need to look at all aspects. Arreal was the first housemate to direct me to her webpage. If I recall , most of you in here have some form of fansite or webpage. If I recall correctly on arreals there may be a place to send her emails. I am currently having a webpage made but its being done by a 3rd party and I won't have the contents of emails sent to me before I leave this house. The rules say: no chatting in the Chatroom. I have not broken those rules. Regarding Talis: yes she indicated she was gail. I have no clue who gail was (i don't recall her posting transcripts for BB, sorry gail, can't remember all the poster, though I know arreal, roger and others in here did). In Fairness to Talis I did not pursue a barrage of questions with the HOst to question if talis was telling the truth or just pulling our leg. Frankly it didn't matter to me. The reason I didn't do so, is because if I went after talis reasons for being here. Then people in here could do the same in questioning why I would show a picture of the cast of WestWing as my "family portait". You might as well accuse me of being dishonest, and Luke for his photo, and others for other things. I do not own this website, I don't know the website owners, though it seems some of you in here feel quite comfortable in emailing the Host everytime you have a problem, rather than posting on the message boards. If the Host chose to put talis in for reasons unbeknownst to me, its the Host's decision, NOT MINE. What do I think of Talisker? I see her as just another player in this game. Arreal has created this quagmire of suspicion and paranoia, I'm not going to be a party to her antics. I told her before, I'm not gonna treat talis any different from the others, If I feel like nominating talis I will, if I don't, I won't. Arreal chose to say the things she has said, and then wanted to drag me into it, and has cunningly done so as reflected in the 7 folders and 125plus msgs. Making continuous inferences to me. She wanted me to be her "crutch" last night. I refuse to do so, now she's angry. If arreal wanted to be completely honest about "exposing" Talis, she didn't need my help to do so. I've only known you people for a week. I am in here to discuss various topics, to deal with challenges, and if at the end of the day, I get a teeshirt, fine, if not, its been an experience. And yes, when the Host announced the addition of a CDBurner, I know my son is dying for one. IF I was ever so lucky as to win. I would honestly be grateful, cuz personally, I can't afford to buy one for him right now. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:00 pm  Are word of mouth alliances considered Technical stuff? Are discussing who we are going to nominate simply technical stuff? I must add, that for the past three or four nights, Roger and I have had long talks, taking many posts. Last night was no exception? Was I cunning or devious? You give me too much credit for my intelligence. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:03 pm  I wanted you to tell the truth....if that is what you call a 'crutch' then so be it. |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:30 pm  Hey Vyk, I wanted to clear something up. I do have a fanpage, but I didn't create it myself. I have actually NO IDEA who built the page and as far as I know, it is not linked to my email. I was quite surprised when one of the members sent me the URL during the live chat on Wednesday night. If the website links to my email address, then I must not have any fans, because I haven't received ANY email from the outside. So ArReal, you are admitting to discussing nominations and developing alliances via AOL Messenger? And Vyk, I know what AOL Messenger and ICQ are, I have both. Boy, this is really getting good! |
Luke | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:31 pm  I think all of us probably have some form of chat, whether it's AOL, ICQ, or something else... I have both! |
Himay10ns | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:32 pm  My decision still stands, as long as Tali is sequestered and is playing by the rules, let the game continue as is. |
Arreal | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 01:32 pm  With Vyk, yes I am...although we completely disagreed on who to nominate, we did discuss it. |
