From Tonight:
I find it frustrating that Vyk and I are at odds again with trying to decide who to come in. Gail, I meant no disrespect towards you when I said I didn't want you to be the one. I am nervous about honesty and vendetas. I hope you can understand that. That goes for you also Flint.

What does this MEAN?! Someone have pity on my paranoid soul! Make this clear to me! WHY ON GODS EARTH WOULD SHE INCLUDE FLINT?!

Feel free to add the other questionables... I'm just at a loss.

Flint is the Interrogator.

Well the choice of words "nervous about honesty" sure is intersting. This conflict I think is going to explode, its been building up all week.
I don't really blame Vykin for not wanting someone from the boards to come in especially if she doesnt know who they are, I mean what sort of reward is that.

It is also intersting that ArReal didnt want tali yet she said she had made up with tali.

I see that Nor. I thought she made up with Tali too. Why wouldn't she want her to come back and visit? Why would anyone be worried about the truth? She sure is insistent that Jana be the one to visit. Maybe Jana is a really good friend of hers. But there are people in the game who might not know Jana. If they take Zeb, he will be a good choice.

I think ArReal is hiding things... Bash me if you like but I find this whole "computer problem" issue questionable. How come she can post fine in the playroom, but somehow is unavailable for the last 2 chats? It seems really weird to me! This whole messaging thing with Vykin is also strange. Obviously Vykin wants nothing to do with her and wants to play the game straight... I personally hope ArReal does not win the prize. Too many questions about her participation in the game.

Yes but you know what I am enjoying the fights between these two. Keeps things hopping. It will also make it easier to chose between them because it will come down to who do you belive and who don't you believe. Lets see what develops between these two next week. Also, as the game is winding down will these two try to allign themselves with others and drag the others into the squabble. Lets see how they play it. I have to say, that of all the players these two are the most real to me. They have their conflicts and pretty much say what they think about each other without threats and vicious name calling.

Chatman - I totally agree with you... I think she's hiding something, avoinding something, maybe she's scared that something will be revealed... I don't know, but her behaviour is odd...

She's certainly earning herself some votes...

I think she will get my vote. Just hope she gets nominated this time. Wonder why Vykin didn't nominate her in the 2nd round? Maybe he was not the one holding a grudge. And, what exactly is this messing with Vykin about? What did he mean by that? Is ArReal still breaking the rules?

Ok back to my original question - I know Flint is the interrogator. Why would she have problems with him? Does he have a history on the board?

Just guessing here but maybe she feels that Flint and Gail are friends and that maybe there is still some resentment toward her by the moderators for outing Gail??
I don't really know.

Now what I do know about her computer problems from reading her posts very carefully is this.
She has two computers. One is fairly new and one is 6-7 years old. When she started playing this game she started on the new one. Things were fairly easy for her to follow and do. At some point during the thing with new banishment vote, her new computer developed major problems and went into the shop where it still is. She then started using the old one. It has too small a hard drive or memory or something and it won't allow her to download a newer or up to date version of AOL. It also won't let her do Java which is what the chat is so she can't do this chat but she can still do some posting but because the computer is so old it take as long as 15 minutes for a post to actually post. It sounds as if it extremely slow.Imagine what is is like using a really old computer and maybe that is what it is like.

RE the old computer: it can always have a modem upgrade (Not that ArReal would know how, but that's what friends are for.) That would eliminate the posting problem.

Perhaps Java is disabled in her browser: or she has such an aged version of AOL that Java is not supported.

From what she's said, she's got real problems. (erm, with the computer.)

I would guess that she is massively p1ssed at not being able to post as much, and at missing the chats.

Ok, let's take her at her word with regards to the computer issue. Personally I don't care one way or the other about that. If she's not logging on and participating in chats, she's not earning game points.

As far as the IM thing goes. Does she truly not understand what no outside contact means? Is she just oblivious or does she actually believe that the rule is no outside contact unless you really, really need to discuss your position with someone? Is she knowingly cheating? I don't know.

Things that make you go huuummmm.

i think when she said flint she meant snave. i'm also wondering why vyk said he wanted to put the gail thing behind them but keeps bringing it up.

he asked arreal to drop it, why doesn't he? and wasn't it vyk who invited arreal into the private chat in the beginning? didn't he actually start her involvement? now he's acting like it's her fault. i don't get it.

regarding the computer: i remember kearie from the boards, you couldn't pay her to shut up! i'm sure she's going crazy not being able to participate fully because she always has a lot to say. hopefully she'll get the bette one back soon and we can hear her side of the story.

Actually prior to the game Gail, Flint, and Kearie were all good friends...I on the other hand was NOT good friends with her...so, i'm sure that doesn't help your questions, but tis true

If she doesn't have java, she can't IM... if she's still IMing, she has java - not because the AOL IM runs on java, 'cuz I don't know if it does, but it is only availble on AOL browsers that have java...

What does this mean? She has a pretty recent version of AOL...
And what does that mean? That her computer can't be as slow as she says it is, or the IM module wouldn't be able to run - the newer versions of the AOL browser have certain requirements, and I think Pentium I is one of them, especially with IM... I have a Pentium I, and I have NO problems with speed...

So... she has to have a Pentium I and a fairly new version of AOL to be IMing...

if she's IMing, she's lying about her problems with posting and not being able to chat (she may not be able to chat, but it's not because she has an old computer... it would be because her AOL Browser needs a reinstall, it's been corrupted somehow... or her modem is slow and it's just too tedious for her to try to chat, but that isn't NOT being able to chat, that's not wanting the hassle)

therefore... draw your own conclusions

Why would she lie? I dunno... but her tale is very fishy... maybe she just doesn't know much... maybe it's some kind of miscommunication on her part... I don't know... but what she's telling everyone doesn't add up.

The IM thing is not a happy thing. That is out-and-out cheating. I thought Vyk handled that well.

I also believe she's getting info from outside... tis beyond evident.

Nada thing we can do about it, though! Catch her mouse-handed? In mid IM to someone?

They are on their honor in there. That's a point to ponder.

Yet another: in mid-chat the other night, I p-sent the Pickle that we missed her in chat. I didn't expect a response.

I didn't get one.

"I would have loved to have been in chat. It would be awesome to be able to talk in real time with people. It gets lonely in the house all alone. I just don't support java script...hell I don't even know what that means, except, I can't get there."

JAVASCRIPT! Practically every freakin' browser supports javascript... javascript doesn't even MATTER to that chat... if she means Java, I still don't believe her... and how would she know that that's the problem? she doesn't even know the different between JS and Java?!?

I wish someone could go peek in her window... :)

Don't need AOL to have AOL IM let alone a new version. I don't have AOL but I got the AOL IM thing when I tried to do the AOL BB boards before I gave up on them. Never tried the AOL IM because I don't really want AOL on my computer I just needed the ID to get into those boards.

Well Jana you know them all better then I do but based on what I've read here Gail and Kearie were not friends prior to the game, Gail was the one who made the Banish Kearie website complete with custom banish kearie banner, and told ArReal she was gonna make sure she got banished - etc. Still find it funny she say's she concidered her a "friend" when she invited her to that private chat, yet at the same time she voted ArReal out instead of say Vykin who she'd only spoken to a few times briefly there...LOL What's that saying "With friends like that....."

Oh well - I imagine ArReal and Vykin will be out here with us soon enough and perhaps then we can
get some answers to all this - can't for the life of me understand why vyking had no problem with soemone coming out here to read outside info - yet went crazy over the thought of someone from out here sharing outside info with them - strange.

AOL IM ships with NN v4.x and IE v4.x and v5.x, all of which support javascript and java... if you can't support those browsers, you can't support IM

Whit - Vyk trusted Roger to be honest... he doesn't trust outsiders because he doesn't know them... he's paranoid that these people wouldnt help him... is he right? maybe

Really? AOL says that ... well, I guess they're talking about the IM versions that are available now... the only way she'd have IM without java/javascript capabilities is if she had the old version of AOL laying around the house, I guess... AOL didn't mention versions it no longer supports...

sorry :) my bad
