I believe the 10 random guests chosen should be secretly given monikers like Guest1 through Guest 10 and then the public can decide based on all activities involved in a non-biased manner.
Otherwise, you just have a bunch of people forming pre-alliances and selecting ahead of time who they are going to banish before they are even chosen to participate.

it IS a great idea Tukuul...but wouldn't be that hard to get around....for example i could just email someone that i ALREADY know to be in alliance with and ask them what their number/name is...though i do think it would be fun to give them alternate names...just makes it more fun to guess who is who and not have biases...but it would have to be better than just a number....that is too hard to remember

I already thought about that and that's why The Game will be a bust unless the moderators can figure out who knows who and who doesn't and chooses accordingly. Too much "outside The Game" interaction and plotting.

The environment is not controlled.

Tukuul, I agree with your logic on this. It would be easy to banish based on previous thoughts about the perosn, and not how they are playing the game.

Although in the spirit of the game, I hope as many of us as possible would be fair about this.

Tukuul, being one of those that is carrying on before the game starts, I hope that all realize I'm just having some fun. (and have been taking it that everyone else is just joking around)

I play games straight up!!!

Heh, good strategy Tukuul, nobody will dare vote for you to be banished or they face the continuous whine, "You voted me out because you don't like me. That's not faaairrrr!"

good point Lance! and i echo that! this is all fun for sure! i rag on people and kid.....but i am a very joking around type of person and sometimes i go back and read my posts and they seem a tad brutal, but i think it is just that i rely so much on expression and it is SO easy to take things out of context when they are written down.....that is one thing FOR SURE i have learned about the computer world.....but i hope Kearie always can imagine the joking smile on my face when i slam her ass! :)

to be perfectly honest...I am thinking this is a game, something to take the boredom away.

My pre-game joking and flirting and alliance forming is just that....joking. People who don't see it as such really need to lighten up and not take this so seriously. It's kind of scary to think people might take this game as completely serious and they HAVE to win.

I certainly don't want mail bombs or what not because some sore loser got banished.

Sure, I will play the game, if I am chosen, to the best of my ability, whether I use humor or plain logic....(Tuk, either way you will be driven to your knees) I will play to have fun and to win. I won't play 'mailman' if I lose and my feelings about no one on this board will change.

Suggestions:
  • Nicknames for the players is a good idea to prevent preconceived opinions.
  • A folder for Banners that the contestants can see.
  • Alternates in case someone has to drop out or is kicked out.

Suggestions for Challenges:
  • Make use the the internet in creative ways, such as a Treasure Hunt to find items on the internet and see who gets them first.
  • Make a "mask" or some kind of artwork using the available clipart and formatting.
  • Create a simple webpage on one of the free servers. (most of the free servers have easy editors)
  • Have them play an interactive game on one of the free gaming websites such as MSN Gaming Zone where we can watch them play.
  • Create a poem, limerick or song in a given time or create a group song where each makes one verse.

I agree with you Kearie :) Noslonna, those sound fun! but i have NO idea how to make a web page and stuff like that...i think if i was in the game that is why i would prolly get the boot early...i know how to scan and post pictures..but thats about it.....but i would love to learn! :)

Well, Jana, maybe instead of each person making a web page, all the game players make it together... maybe like a "weekly challenge" that goes on through the whole thing? you could be... content contributor! :)

or not...

Ok, this is too funny. We have people slamming asses and other driving folks to their knees. If you put these together in the right order....well, you get the idea!! Good thing this is an unmoderated board!! haha

And it's the women who are being the rowdiest!! Gotta love 'em! (I know I do)

I play to win. It's the thrill of the challenge. All those people who now say "I was just joking about the pre-alliances and you should take it at that" should even be more carefully scrutinized. They are only trying to save their asses. I won't kiss ass like the majority.

Voyeur, as far as whining, goes...it won't happen. I can see you squealing before The Game even begins...let alone when you get your ass booted out. Have a nice day.

During the game, my lips will touch no tush either! Rather get booted the first time out!

My ass will be just fine in the game, and I too will enjoy the challenge! Tally Ho!

Only someone with a massively bloated ego would seriously strategize in a game which is almost entirely out of the control of the players. It's like saying, "I play to win. It's the thrill of the challenge," when the game you're playing is Candyland.

Voyeur--LOL! Just the way I am with games. I try and take games of "luck"/chance with a grain of salt. I still go in to win though. The true test of playing for fun only is not to keep score--in any form. That would include a finish line.

Pathetic as it may be to some, there are those who don't like to lose (even games which the player has little control over). I admit to being one of those--although I wish everyone the best of luck in any event. I don't play Candyland, btw.

If anything, I keep my ego tucked well away.

Antispamgirl.. I like your idea of making a group challenge to create a webpage and giving them the whole week to do it. With 10 internet savvy contestants they should be able to come up with one and different people could contribute in different ways.

Well, Voyeur, Candyland will require an active braincell...better get yours crankin' and stock up on some Co-Q10.

How about adding another surprise HG a few days into the game like they did with Pugita. Some kind of loveable digital pet they have to interact with.

What will the acronym for the HG be? RG as in room guest?

LOL, I hear better taunts than that when I'm picking my daughter up from kindergarten.

Oh, wait, I get it. You're campaigning to get picked. Like those women that Jordan said would pick fights at the trials to show they could be confrontational.

Anybody have some pointers for Tukuul? Or want to step in? I will admit I'm not very good at making up things to fight about.

Lance, that was when I thought Tukuul was seriously being an assh*le instead of just playing one. My heart is just not into playing around with fake assh*les.

Tukuul---

Reality Message Board Game are different from reality TV dear. You see, most of the contestants all ready know each other to a degree, from previous posts on the board.

For some, no disguised poster name will cover the truth. It may be due to their silliness, or logic and thoughtfulness in answering certain posts, while others it may be due to their harassing, holier than though attitude.

I'm sure if you are one of the 'chosen' YOU will shine through, no matter the disguise.

Take that and chew on it a while!
