Guruchaz | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 08:12 am  I would propose that the moderators take charge of how The Game environment is laid out. Is this like a house or a mansion or a yellow submarine? You can already see that the players are still in Big Brother mode because that's the pattern that's in their minds. It's up to the moderators to break this pattern. It's their responsibility to layout the environment as well as the daily activities. Also, remember that these people aren't going to stay at their computers all day 24 hours a day just to entertain you. They have real lives too. It's not the same as being sequestered in a real house. |
Host | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 08:22 am  Thank you for the suggestion. The play area is laid out pretty good. The 'rooms' that they have created are just subtopics and will scroll to the bottom as more interesting or relevant topics come along. The real play area is one level higher than that. |
Debi4514 | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 09:31 am  I think it would have been much less confusing if it were set up more like the live feeds postings so you could read whats going on in the order that it happens rather than trying to jump from room to room. |
Sara | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 11:29 am  I think we should give the game time to work itself out. It's only been "in play" for a little over 36 hours. To me, the logistics aren't the important part. JMHO |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 07, 2000 - 07:03 pm  Are they going to manage to break away or not? They seem pretty dedicated to it at this point. |
Lazzarus50 | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 08:26 am  That's an excellent question Ocean. Since The Game is laid out by loose rules similar to BB, it may not be entirely possible for them to break away and the subconscious is feeding what they have seen over the past 3 months from live feeds and postings. What I find that may be interesting is the change that is happening with them going from a large MB with lots of people posting to a limited MB with only 10 posters and that number being cut down periodically. So you have a group that once had posters with plenty of replies dwindling down to only two or three people discussing a topic. And then the isolation setting in.... |
