For me personally, most of the time (with a few moments here and there) I've enjoyed "TheGame" more then I did BB. While there were a few times I have gotten "stressed out" here - there have been about 10 X more that I've laughed so hard my tummy hurt.

Just wondering how others feel about their involvment in TheGame compared to BB.

I've really enjoyed the Game too. I can not believe how "into it" people have become, and how the players are talking like the BB guests, saying stuff like "leaving with integrity and heads held high", etc. It's hilarious!!! It has been extremely interesting to watch this thing unfold, and to watch them become so tight and not want to leave...

The part I don't think compares to BB is in BB all the HG's were strangers to all the chatters. In this game too many of the HG had built in very close relationships with the site and the posters. Some of the regular posters appeared resentful that new people were on their boards and in the game. Ironically of course, the game was suppose to attract those very same new people that had to wade through some resentment from longer term posters.

This game has the same intensity (at times) that BB did and that was very enjoyable. And surprising.

In BB there could be true sequestering, here it is too hard to do that. Even experienced board posters had a hard time not sending update(s) to the players. Its hard to argue with a note that tells the player the "read on each player" and what the posts say. And there is speculation that it didn't occur with only one player and poster.

The voting was free here. I liked that. However multivoting, as in BB, was possible. Did not like that. Its either free or you pay and can multivote. Plus it seemed the votes were subject to approval and squeaky wheels got attention.

This was like BB in that the really outlandish folks got banished early. It was unlike BB when Mantastic and Arreal bolted. The sudden departures were jarring. Also unlike the BB the HG that were banished had to decide whether to reintegrate with the posters. This immesion back with the people that had been watching them was uneven to say the best! Some just disappeared, and some rejoined. But there are some bad feelings and those bad feelings weren't so close in BB.

Great game really enjoyed it. Glad I found your site, and the game drew me.

ENBwife.... I am surprised that with all the BS you have had to put up with from the BGs and the OSs you have enjoyed this. But I am glad you did. Obviously I have enjoyed it, I am still here!

I have had so much fun with The Game. I can hardly believe it. BB was great but it was just tv.

Well...I have to admit..I got more obsessed with The Game. I watched the live feeds, posted to the boards, watched the tv show and voted with BB. But...I've made wonderful friends, am having a better time and am neglecting more work with The Game. LOL

Whit you won't need to spend any to get Roger to win, he's a shoe in! But if it makes you feel better, send me the $5! :):):):):)

Host: hope this game has attracted a lot of new users to your site. We brought a lot with us so your numbers should be up.

What do you think about doing just a small contest? Kady99 and I talked about this at work. You could have Queen/King of the board contest.

Post 10 discussion topics.
In order to be eligible in the contest you must post an answer to each topic. *no spam in the thread only answers to the topic, one per poster* In a seperate thread have a vote for King/Queen of the posters.

We vote for who we think best answered all topics.
Prize? Nothing material, the board just hails you as the King/Queen :)

Neat idea Azriel.

I enjoyed the game. Found it a lot easier to post live feeds, seeing as I can't listen and type at the same time. But I sure was able to cut and paste.

I found that emotions ran truer and deeper in our game than BB. We learned a lot more about our people here than in BB, inside and outside. A lot of BB was based on the person's looks, here our view was of the inside of a person.

Thanks Lisa for a great Game!
