Juju2bigdog | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:04 pm  Okay, y'all yanked me out of my dank lurking corner. I've been lurking since early August. I did not register with BBFC because I could read the posts without signing in. When The Game began, I was forced to register in order to read discussions about The Game. As long as I bothered to register, figured I might as well vote. Voted first time, missed deadline second time, voted yesterday for HiMays and Vykin. I hope this helps your critical analysis of the psychology of lurkers and their voting patterns. |
Whit4you | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:24 pm  Juju it does - thank you for taking the time to respond |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:27 pm  Thanks Juju. Eeps, you made me smile in the grumpy room. ~mutter~ |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:30 pm  Ack Whit you are smiling, too! Cut that out! No smiling in the grumpy room!
 |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:34 pm  hi Az, sorry for kinda yelling at you earlier i had no right to do that begging for forgiveness |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:00 pm  Awww that's okay everyone got really caught up in the disbelief and disappointment of the moment it didn't bother me at all ~hugs aff~ Smiley faces and hugs... ~mutter~ this is giving the little grumpy room a really bad name. |
Annagator | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:02 pm  ~grumble~ I hate Florida. |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:10 pm  Anna! Why do you hate Florida? |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:27 pm  I'm going to bed. I'm about to fall asleep at the keyboard here. Be Warned - I don't want to wake up in the morning and find a bunch of smiley faces, hugs and happy people running around the little grumpy room. Everyone needs a little grumpy place to blow of steam and gripe freely. Go find your happy place somewhere else  |
Wcv63 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:52 pm  uh oh....I feel a smile coming on...I'm leaving as quickly as I can! oops too late. |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 12:09 am  no smiles wcv63 (by the way wcv63, you need to go to the member section and explain your name!)....i like this place....kinda like my own padded cell! i will try to keep my b1tching to this area only i said TRY! |
Gail | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:30 am  I thought I liked percocet - the first one made me happy The next one I took 8 hours later made me really sick. I don't like percocet  |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:39 am  Being grumpy about this whole thing and having a place to do it is great! Trying to mathematically figure out the vote with user accounts and all that crap is lame and a TOTAL waste of time. DON'T even bother -- you're fooling yourself if you think you are going to figure ANYTHING out.

Azriel1104 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:18 am  Ick Gail, I hate percocet, too. I took some before and it didn't do a thing for the pain and I was sick to my stomach, too. Ticked me off. |
Azriel1104 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:31 am  I agree, Ocean. This is one of those frustrating things you just have to accept and move on. Host said they would do the next vote by email. That's alot of work for her. I appreciate that, Host. If she gets 200+ real votes, then maybe we can truly believe there was no cheating. I don't like that this happened, but I'm not going to say this ruined The Game. Hell, we still got to b*tch and gripe together just like old times in BB. |

Vasix | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 07:37 am  Azriel "Accept/move on" and Whit4? Nice juxtiposition of diametrically opposed concepts. Whit: even your reasoning on what the votes "should have looked like" is flawed. You keep thinking that the entire game is your 20 diehard posters or an extrapolation of your 20 diehard friends. And then you think, well if we ask the lurkers maybe they will tell us. YOUR SAMPLE IS AS FLAWED as your assumptions. Most the lurkers couldn't give a whit what you think and what you "need to know to satisfy yourself". The ones that respond may be responding erroneously just because they enjoy watching you chase your tail. Since you won't listen to reason, listen to Ocean one of your boardmates: "you're fooling yourself if you are going to figure anything out". Gosh this grumpiness stuff is fun. |
Sandyc | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 10:06 am  Can we be grumpy about other things too? Like -- my boss just took away one of my 2 days off, My bird just died, and my 15 year old is not talking to me cause I said no to her three days ago. (it's her bird, by the way). No synchronicity intended. Now I have to vote again too. Yuk, what a terrible day. |
Spamgirl | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 10:10 am  Yeah... let's be grumpy about other things! I'm grumpy 'cuz i just stubbed my stinkin toe again... and the medication has totally worn off, and i have to wait another hour to take another one... and i stay on here so late last night that i got like no sleep... and no one is here today... no one is in chat... no one is talking on icq... i'm bored and i have no work to do... all i can smell is my cat's poo... wonderful day
 |
Azriel1104 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 02:44 pm  Yikes, Sandy and Spam, the little grumpy room is just the place for both of you, today. Vasix, I have moved on from the grumpiness of last night, but I have all new things to be grumpy about today.
I had to work this morning and miss the chat. Now, I have a whole boardload of threads to read to catch up. I have to worry about Roger getting voted out again, too. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 03:46 pm  Why can't we just have some fun? This idea that you can influence the vote is taking the joy out of this. It's also a totally mistaken idea. Maybe I'm overdosing on this board. But you know what folks? There are so many interesting, fascinating things in life to talk about -- why are we so focused on 'who did us wrong' or 'who cheated' or 'who got treated unfairly'. Or whether or not it was cheating or what have you. There's a whole life out there just for the asking of anyone who wants to partake in it. A lot of this stuff going around is just petty small mindedness and I feel like I'm having to squeeze myself down into this small box in order to participate. That's no way to be involved. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 03:48 pm  AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I feel much better now. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:29 pm  I'm so damned grumpy right and it pisses me off that I am grumpy because I HATE to be grumpy. |
Azriel1104 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:38 pm  Well for some reason people don't stay grumpy in the grumpy room for long, Wcv. I have to shoo suddenly happy, smiley folk out all the time. I don't know what's up with that either. Grumpy rooms used to be total downers. You could stay in them for weeks without ever having a happy thought. I guess it's just like everything else in this world...they just don't make good grumpy rooms like they used to.  |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:54 pm  OMG I'm going to be ill. I posted to the NICE thread. Am I INSANE? I thought it was a great grump joke! |
