Jana | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:12 pm  I am sorry if I misunderstood, I thought the implication was that she had told you that she was thinking of quitting. And don't call me dear, i told you i was just giving my two cents on the matter and you should take it for what it is worth and dispense with the condescending attitude. |
Jana | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:13 pm  p.s. i must have misunderstood the rules as well....I guess that means i can go back to saying hi to Zelda on a daily basis.....If she has the time during the game! |
Cackyh | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:17 pm  if you all are basing your votes, interaction and trust in the "no outside contact" rule, you might as well pack it up and call it a day right now. the bg's are giving and receiving outside contact, period. |
Katie | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:39 pm  Jana, It is not a condescending attitude. I really honestly like you. We might disagree on different things but I still like you. I don't put hidden meanings in my words. If I say something I mean it. |
Vasix | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:53 pm  I don't know who said it first but I like the comment: If everyone votes once and the players focus on the game and the chatters focus on having fun debating the game we are all winners. The game would be fun if we just went back to playing it and not go on witchhunts to kick out people. You don't like Arreal, boot her. You don't like Vkin, vote to boot him. You don't like Tali, boot her/him/it/whatever (I seem to be the only one on earth who hasn't worked with or been friends with the The-Multi-Life-Forms of Tali/moderator/mole/despoiler of virtue/gail). But I think we waste too much of our precious month playing Inspector Clouseau and trying the "cheaters". Or deciding what type of "outside" contact justifies our getting our undies in a bunch and booting someone who we would probably find other reasons to boot anyways. Remember: vote once, tell the players to PLAY the GAME and us observers get back to our snarky fun chatting posting and goofing. Its a damn CD burner for crissakes, its not the cure for AIDS. |
Nikkid | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 08:08 pm  Vasix - you will NOT pee on my paranoia parade! Take it all back... for without it, who am i? OMG identity crisis... help! DR DREW!!! |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 08:14 pm  Vasix I appoint you psychological counselor to Whit4you who desperately needs your aid. |
Digilady | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:10 pm  Ocean: I dunno about "aid". Simple finger muzzles would do it! |
Noslonna | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 02:18 am  Vasix: for crissakes, its not the cure for AIDS. Nikkid: you will NOT pee on my paranoia parade! Ocean: psychological counselor to Whit4you who desperately needs your aid. Digi: "aid"... finger muzzles would do it You guys are not playing fair! Here I was minding your own business and you made me blow snotlonna all over Digi. Those last 4 posts were much too funny to be allowed. |
Digilady | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 09:53 am  Blowing snotlana??? OH I ain't touching this post. ROFLMAOBS |
Vasix | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 11:31 am  Noslonna! A thousand apologies for causing your expectorating snotlanna on your keyboard. That must be hell to clean up. And can I say: way bad visual! Thanks for the laugh. On another tack: I want the game back. Can we just get the game back? Look, its not perfect. Gail may be gods gift to friends or she may be some alter multiplying freak. Arreal may be a bonafide PITA or she may be some victim of some great game rule bending wrong. And I don't know how poor Vykin got slimed in all of this but if I ever get invited to a chat: I"M NOT GOING IN! Geez this suff just got as dangerous as dating. I just want the game back. Give the guests fun topics, keep the posts snarky and fun with out too much bloodshed and play on. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 11:53 am  The problem is you've got some 'lurkers' who show up in a chat and they ask, 'Would you ever consider doing [insert bad thing]' and then the next day the board is covered with threads accusing of you of doing [insert bad thing]. |
Katie | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 12:05 pm  To me this is the game. Anything and everything that people want to discuss relating to the game. To me it was unfair of Gail to go into the game pretending to be a stranger to us. She should have gone in as herself or not at all. We all have people on this board we like and dislike because we agree or disagree with what they say and so why should she be any different? Why should she get a clean slate going into the game? I also have a problem with her posting that moderators aren't allowed to play and then playing. She started inviting people into private chats and she knew it was against the rules. As a moderator she had to know the rules. If she didn't then Roger reminded her but she still did it. Why did she do it? Her story of wanting to talk about her mom doesn't ring true to me for one reason. If there was a problem with her mom she would want to talk with friends about it and not ArReal and Vykin. She didn't know Vykin because he was new and she had already set up a BanishKearie.com before the game started so she didn't consider Kearie a friend. She does have friends so why wasn't she just talking with one of them about it? To Vykin it didn't make any difference because he has no history with Gail but to Kearie it did because she and Gail have a history of not getting along. This makes this whole thing about inviting them into a chat to talk about her mother rather suspect to me. Now as far as Vykin is concerned, I think he got pulled into it because he also went in to the chat and heard the story about Tali being Gail. As I said it made no difference to him because he had no history with her but to Kearie it did. First of all Gail herself had told Kearie in a posting that moderators weren't allowed to play. Now they are in the middle of the game and she finds out that wasn't true and that Gail had lied to her about that. It bothers her and so she writes to the host about it and is accused of cheating. She then tries to get Gail to tell the truth and asks Vykin to back her up and he says he will but doesn't. Again another lie to her. Is it any wonder she felt confused and hurt? She shouldn't have gone into the chat no but as far as I can see that is her only mistake and since Gail and Vykin were also in there how can anyone single her out in that? They are all involved in that but Gail initiated it so I find her a bit more guilty. |
Norequerdo | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:40 pm  Well isn't this a new twist. Arreal's post says she was only Iming Vykin to ask him why he was being so pissy with her. Sounds like Arreal was trying to talk about the game. Sounds like these two are taking the gloves off, we may see some interesting stuff now. Waiting to see vykin's reply. Let's see if he has the cojones to go back or if he backs down. |
Katie | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:18 pm  The thing is that we have no idea who is telling the truth. All we can do is to try to see who is most consistent and whose story is most logical, likely and use some common sense to make our decision. |
Norequerdo | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:21 pm  What truth, Arreal said she Im'ed her. I dont care about that anyway, I am just saying things might get intersting. We need a little excitement going. |
Katie | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:41 pm  I find it all interesting because they are all playing with different interpretions of the rules. Some seem the think private messages are ok. On the other hand we have Roger who is playing it the strictest. He doesn't even read messages left on the game board unless he is there when it is left saying that if he were in the house and he wasn't there at the time, he wouldn't be able to hear it, so he won't read it. Then we have people in between both ideas. It makes it really interesting. |
