So, step right up. There have been numerous complaints about Game I. Here's your chance to help out with the design of Game II.

My first thought:

Login to vote.

Second: no Moderators in THIS game unless all are aware of it, then, why not? Tis based on an honor system.

Third: limit house to three rooms. Any three.

Fourth: limit new discussions to 1 a day by the BGs. (They really add up over the course of the game: try doing live feeds before you disagree!)

Fifth: give the BGs their own live chat. Which would be automatically logged. I can't think of any other way for them to communicate in 'real time'. I see them "getting lost" and so on.

Well, we know that the virtual house is a mess.

The archiving threads make it pretty difficult to follow day by day action.

How about threads organized by date? October 10, 2000, and then all the messages on that day go to that thread. When the new day starts, a new thread starts. I think this is a good idea if it is possible to do.

That way we won't have a thread with 1,000 messages like we are going to have soon.

The Virtual House should be an area that is not split up by rooms but by days.

Also, if possible, somewhere for two BGs to chat "privately" without the other BGs. Limit occupancy of room to 2... just think! wahoooo.

Lmao Snotslonna! Love it!
I got inspired the other day thinking about The Game II
Say 10-12 people
Two tribes
Immunity Challanges (I'm thinking that anyone who applies should have web cam, scanner, or digital cam - THINK of the challanges - eating bugs?... We could really get creative)
Two separate logged for either tribe -chatrooms. With admin/moderators "editing" the days and live feeders getting the truth... Private convos are logged as well (YES - true fly on the wall experience)
Discussion board for daily topics - WG's not allowed to create their own.
Not sure how the banishements would work - Anyone have ideas?. Then they must integrate. BTW - no contact for tribes until challanges - like trivia contests and such, where contact must happen.
A definate difference between the tribes - looking at the applications with a criterea.
say tribe A are long winded and profound. Tribe B are known jokers... I dunno something like that - so that the tribes have a defining different character for each. Anyone else?

Just had another neuron fire.

Keep the basic game as is. Keep Madame Hostess as is.

But. Have an 'army' of volunteers for new tasks.

1) Challenges

a) Have a set of designated posters (Ocean, Guru, Adven, Nik, etc etc etc) to come up with a continuing list of controversial topics (such as the Death Penalty. THAT one was the very best.)

b) Have yet another set of posters good at finding bizarrities on the web. Have a challenge a week referring to this. (Could put an explanation of how to search web in the Player Rules.

c) Another set who comes up with FUNNY/creative challenges/discussions. These must be photographed (Pips will convert to digital. People are winning prizes worth money now. By gawwd they can spend some.

d) challenges/discussions must be submitted to Hostess at particular time. All she does is choose.

2) Issue an invite to “sponsor” parts of the game. IE, my company right now will donate a Color Printer as prize for game II.

3) To vote, a poster must have posted to the board. And must continue, much as the players do.

4) To vote, said poster logs in.

5) Selection of players: along with temperament, make players submit their time zones. Try to pick 3 or 4 from same zone.

A) mandatory 5 posts per day. If they cannot do this, they don’t need to be in The Game. They should be dedicated enough to want to do this.

6) Red Room visits: Unedited this time. We know they aren’t on a camera: this takes too much time to deal with. Force 1 visit (at least) every 2 days. Players can visit and vent as often as possible.

7) Speed it up. They nominate 2 people Monday: Voters have until Wednesday. Banishment.

There has been so much talk about the BGs talking privately via AOL IM. It was a grey area. Most consider it cheating. Both IM and Icq have the ability to log the session.

Why not let the BGs use IM so that 2 of them can talk privately, but require them to email the logs in to be posted just as the RR visits are.
This would give the BGs a chance to discuss, whine about and gossip about the other BGs in private and allow us to know the content of these discussions.

Both BGS have to send in the log and failure to do so would result in termination. Having both BGs email the log would help to avoid the BGs agreeing to keep their conversation secret. They would be aware that they could agree to not send in the log but that they would be in danger of the other person backstabbing them and sending in the log. This in itself would likely deter anyone from making any such agreement.
