What's The Deal Host? I thought this game and site wanted to generate members!
Spamgirl | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 08:57 pm  Tuk - people take this way personally
 |
Norequerdo | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:01 pm  Not taking anything personally. Cheating is just a fact and you live with it. The people that cheat know who they are and even if in the end their guy wins, it will be a hollow victory. Me, I dont see the sense in playing the game if you are going to cheat and have a predetermined idea of who is going to win. The fun in all of this is seeing it played out. |
Spamgirl | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:17 pm  Nor - I meant the people who get friends to vote/use different computers/etc. take it way too personally... I think cheaters suck... but there will always be idiots out there who want to win by any means necessary...
 |
Norequerdo | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:19 pm  yep spam, but you know what, where is the fun in winning. My attitude is let them win who cares. Its about having fun. |
Spamgirl | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:21 pm  True... I wish more people felt that way, though... just have fun and chill... if a BB was happening at the same time as this, I'm sure it would be fairer 'cuz they'd be spending all their time dedicated to BB... instead of cheating on TG

Lafatme | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 09:39 pm  for the record. i have voted only once in each banishment. don't know how to vote twice, don't care enough to bother, if i did. i also don't know of anyone, except those who have admitted it, who have voted more than once. nor, i have also not asked my friends to sign up and vote. after all, it IS just a game. |
Tukuul | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 12:29 am  Well, it's nice to find out that a point has been proved. The nicer you are and the less waves you make, the further you get into the game. I'm still trying to figure out how Eddie won BB. Oh, that's right...it was the pity vote. Is there an Eddie or Edwina still in The Game? LOL! This should be interesting to watch unfold. |
Admin | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 12:45 am  Okay, that's it...registration now costs $20/month. (just kidding of course) If you read the section called "All about your user account" in the General Rules/Policies area, you'll know why your friends didn't get their user accounts instantaneously! |
Katie | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 04:14 am  Neil, You just about gave me a heart attack there. lol |
Guruchaz | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 07:57 am  Well, I guess I deserve that. This game is really intense and I went over the edge. I really did call 4 friends though to tell them about the site and signup to save Zeb/Tukuul. I mean I don't see how that is breaking the rules but it doesn't matter now anyway. This thread has really grown. Sorry Tukuul. I tried. I don't know what else to say except come the next few days people will realized they screwed up. Some here are fairly slow. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 08:44 am  You should have marshalled your forces way in advance, Gu. |
Spamgirl | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 09:16 am  Heck, Guru - you should have just sent them all the poll's URL... would have saved Zeb, maybe... which would have made me happy, 'cuz then I'd have more to add to his site! Heh

Muzzy | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 10:19 am  Againn I want to state my appreciation to Admin, Neil, and Gail for investigation my complaint of being impersonated, to Neil for being a nice guy when I was flabbergasted that my good name had been stolen and used in players chat, Neil here's to U, Gail for apology for bad feelings she had written earlier and for being open minded and apology, know how busy you all are and thank u for straightening this out and reinstating me on board. You all know who I would like to see win, would never jeopardize that persons chance by being ugly to GP chat. so to all who have threatend to wipe me out-------innocent, determined innocent, do not know how impersonations happen but it DID>BEWARE IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Digilady | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 10:34 am  Muzzy, a few of us knew it wasn't you during chat. Someone private-sent me that you weren't you, if that makes any sense! |
Wcv63 | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 10:38 am  We will,in the future, if referring to that dark and dreary banishment chat, call the twit who stole your name the "Muzzy impersonator". |
Norequerdo | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 10:42 am  The plot thickens.....so who was impersonating Muzzy and why??? |
Digilady | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 11:33 am  Someone who knew Muzzy, knew Vyk. Possibly one of his supporters. IMHO |
Whit4you | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 11:46 am  Well I'm impressed with the impersonator - must have really practiced, even to the extent of memorizing all Muzzy's typo's and inflections etc. The impersonator should get an award! Whit |
Norequerdo | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 11:50 am  yes whit, I agree. Sure seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to piss people off against someone you support. Doesnt make much sense to me. |
Admin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 11:55 am  If you look in the ClubHouse room, scroll to the bottom, you'll see an area called 'Plans for the future' They include a new chat, that will help prevent impersonation. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:01 pm  I call dibs on the nut icon!!! |
Norequerdo | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:19 pm  well if there is a dog chewing its tail, I guess that one is mine |
Digilady | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:35 pm  I get the eight ball! |
Gail | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:47 pm  Greetings! I would like to chime in something here for people to keep in mind in the chat rooms. I know I have seen this happen several times so I am guessing others have too. What do you supposed it means when you are in a live chat and you see "Name already in use" has entered the room? I am pretty sure I saw that message pop up Friday night. But,I spaced it off. I, like most of the people here use my name when I enter the chatroom. Certain names grant you immediate acceptance when you enter (not mine right now, but others). There is a certain amount of trust that you hope someone else is not "borrowing" someone else's name when entering the chatroom. If the real user of that name didn't know the name was borrowed, who would figure it out? I would only know if my name was used if I tried to enter the chat and got that Name in use message. You can bet I would be pretty upset if someone was impersonating me. I suspended Muzzy's posting privileges during the chat and emailed her afterwards letting her know that she needed to contact the Host to get reinstated. The next day, Big H posted that she got several messages from Muzzy saying that it was not her in the chat. In the case of the Live Chat friday evening, if it wasn't the real Muzzy spamming the chat, then someone did it for some reason - I am not sure what that person's motivation was . . the real Muzzy is not someone who appears to be a troublemaker on the board. What is important is to keep in mind that this is all a game. It is supposed to be fun. Of course, now with Zeb gone . . it just won't be the same!  |
Jana | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 12:58 pm  irc anyone? anyone? Bueller? |
Digilady | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 01:13 pm  NO to IRC. Too easily hacked. I'm looking at chats today, anyone else?? |
Nikkid | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 02:00 pm  Dig you on ICQ? Gail - Name already in use, unfortunately is not an indicator. We get bumped and our "ghosts" remain - mainly the message is innocent. |
Misslibra | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 03:06 pm  Nikkid, that is what happen to me, I got bumped, and when I tried to re-enter the chat my name, or ghosts was still in the chat as if I was still in there. When I tried to re-enter, I had to use another name. I just used Miss L. Gail, I guess you guys didn't know about that happening. The new chat sounds like a winner, thanks Admim ! |
Whit4you | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 06:08 pm  Rich won survivor by outwitting the others. Vyking's playing this game the same way. The RULES say ANYTHING goes (and does not specifically EXCLUDE cheating does it?) We may have assumed cheating was not included in "ANYTHING" but we assumed wrong didn't we. So he's outwitted/ and outlasted 3 so far. Whit |
