Don't forget to vote!
Spamgirl | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:29 pm  OK, Jana ... NOW YOU'RE IN TROUBLE! LOL OK, my votes were just to save my Lukie... so I would have wanted people to vote for ROGER and vykin... so if I'd had my way, those to &*(&* would be out... I'll admit - I voted for moon... why? Because when I finally got back today, an hour before the vote (seems to have) closed, roger was totally safe and may was totally gone... so I laid my lame-ass votes (which prolly made little difference) on vyk and moon, to make sure Lukie was a stayer... Now, on to the cheating. The only cheating method I know of is how to get people who don't have accounts here to vote. This would only be effective if I knew a large amount of people who were prone to acts of sin and immorality... and although *I* may be, my friends are not And moreso, my friends are too cheap and poor to have computers... at least the immoral and sinning ones ;) And the reason I'm so quiet is because i stubbed my toe today... for the average person that's no biggie, but my toenail has grown so far back and so long inside my toe that it's about to rip through the top of my toe... so i've been heaving in the toilet and lying on the couch bawling since about 6pm... (thats EST)... only now have the drugs kicked in enough that i could drag my ass across the room and type... mind you, i'm more doped up than a hippie at woodstock and luvin' it 'scuse my ramble And yes, the vote was rigged - but the only person I know who knows a lot of people and has stake in the game is Vykin... he may have done it to save his own ass (and if you want to know how to cheat on the vote, all you have to do is find the URL of the poll... there, now everyone can cheat equally )

Whit4you | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:32 pm  spam don't think anyone really thinks you were cheating to save luke ok I don't even think Jana does I think she was speaking out of frustration. Ok smile dammit! |
Spamgirl | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:41 pm  Grin.. I know... pills... made me change my whole thinking... it was all intended to be lighthearted, but it came out like... not sorry... i should just go lie back down on the couch before I get in trouble ;)

Spamgirl | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:42 pm  BTW - thanks affin ;) (((((affin))))) (my first virtual hug LOL)

Noslonna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:45 pm  wish I was old enough to have been a hippie at woodstock... I begged to go... missed out on all the doped up hippies. :-( |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:54 pm  Ewww Noslonna, that place looked like a pigsty with all that mud and they had to use ~gasp~ port-o-potties! smelly, nasty running over port-o-potties! Ewwwwww it was hot and they were packed together like sardines, sweating and icky Ewwwww nothankyouverymuch I'm glad I was just a youngun and I missed all that groovy fun |
Host | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:09 pm  Message from Host - I apologize for the confusion in closing the poll today. We had originally posted in the rules, and on the actual poll, that the poll would be closed at 3:00 p.m. PST on Friday (that's 6:00 p.m. EST where the Host lives). The Host had a prior engagement this evening, and asked Admin to close the poll at 6:00 p.m. PST in error. She SHOULD have said 6:00 p.m. EST... Hence the mix-up. The poll was closed at 3:09 PST. To address the issue of the accuracy of the polls, there is no way to tell who voted, when and for who... The existing results of the current poll will stand as is. The decision of who will win 1st, 2nd & 3rd place will be decided by an E-mail to the Host, rather than a voting poll. More instructions will follow on this process shortly. |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:24 pm  well i guess the cheaters won then.....count me out of having anything to do with the rest of this game....i hope there is a game II....because i will pool all my resources to find out how to cheat next time .....congrats cheaters....you didn't even listen to what we had to say host....you have worked really hard on this game but you seem to not care that you allowed it to turn into a farce....i guess nice guys really do finish last.... i think it is a pretty sad commentary when someone like me, who has been totally 100% loyal to this site from the get go feels like i want to turn my back on it.... maybe i am just speaking out of anger right now and will change my mind....but it's sad that i wish this game had never even happened now host: from the time you emailed me saying that you got home until the time you posted this message was no time at all....you should learn that you can't run a website without listening to the people that support you, you will fail every time. |
Vasix | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:32 pm  Spamgirl: we missed you all day and had we known you were injured we would have flown to your side (virtually of course because us showing up in person would have been like creepy stalky gross) and adminstered first aid. Probably in the form of some kicking tabs which I see you already have gotten into. Nice going on the self medication. <vasix using the mouse to take the car keys from spamgirl's desk. Will return them tomorrow morning> |
Noslonna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:37 pm  Jana, you should learn that you can't please everyone. Neil and Lisa have done an excellent job on this site and with The Game.Jana: "i think it is a pretty sad commentary when someone like me, who has been totally 100% loyal to this site from the get go feels like i want to turn my back on it" You claim to be loyal to this site, yet threaten to turn your back on it. It is a very sad commentary indeed. |
Spamgirl | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:39 pm  rofl... spammy doesn't drive... many reasons... Now I just can't get into my apartment! Thanks vas ;) Yes... self medication... very nice got my wisdom teeth out a while ago, had pills left over... can't feel legs, let alone toes hehe it's ALL good in spammy's hood Thanks for your concern, Vas ;) And if you show up at my door, you can come in... but mind the mess...

Whit4you | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:39 pm  He's running a free website - using all his spare time to make a site for US to use. IF it stops being fun for us then there are millions of other sites we can choose from. We are learning from their mistakes, and should anyone here ever decide to take on something even remotely similar we will use what we learned from this experience, and at Neils expense in our own situations. I would have liked to have seen something done about THIS vote myself - but now all we can do is hope that the Email vote will be fair. Anyone with ANY ideas or suggestions to Neil as far as "how to make sure the Email vote is legit" then they should let him know NOW. Rather then wait till after the vote and say "why didn't you concider this or that might happen" This is unchartered territory and you can't expect Neil to be able to forsee events that you yourself can not forsee, and are not willing to suggest. (for example I think it's very important that only those who've been registered for the past week should be allowed to email in a vote) |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:41 pm  "You claim to be loyal to this site, yet threaten to turn your back on it. It is a very sad commentary indeed." exactly, thanks for reinforcing my point Nos |
Noslonna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:48 pm  You missed the point. |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 09:52 pm  no, i got it Nos, loud and clear I always thought Host did an awesome job on this game...(which has nothing to do with how i feel about the site in general, if that is what you were implying)....that is why i think it is sad that she didn't listen to what we had to say |
Spamgirl | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:03 pm  The only way is to put the vote on his server, have it in the password protected section of the site... how much would this cost? I think I could do it for $300cdn or somewhere around that... or he could go buy a poll... there might even be a free script somewhere... http://www.perlarchive.com/guide/Surveys_and_Voting/ is a bunch of free scripts... i'll email it to host |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:25 pm  Spammy, you still here? |
Digilady | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:07 pm  <almost packed and I run into THIS! sheesh> Jana: "....that is why i think it is sad that she didn't listen to what we had to say" Kindly don't use the royal 'we' here. From what I hear, the 'we' is a small proportion of the members. Certainly not the majority. You have any idea what setting up, maintaining, and running a game like this entails? No? Didn't think so. You know what Neil & Lisa have gotten out of it, to date? Shit. No money. A bunch of whiners in their email and on their PHONE (!!!) b1tching about everything from cheating to vulgarity. =You= small group should be collectively ashamed. Perhaps thanks to =you=, there will BE no Game II. Ah, let me quote you again: "but it's sad that i wish this game had never even happened now" There's a vote of thanx to all (Neil, Lisa, Gail, Flint and others) who have worked their BUTTS off to make this work. You are blaming the wrong ones. Why not blame the no-brainers who cheated, eh? In throwing the blame on Neil & Lisa, you've thrown a whole lot of work in the face of folks who are totally undeserving of such. People b1tched about the poll =last= time, no? OKAY. What did you do about it? Go out and try to find a better one for Host, who is SWAMPED? Nooo. You wrote nasty emails and CALLED them to further your spurious point. SO people cheated this time. NOTE: They did it on Big Brother also. NOTE 2: Knowing it would happen, why did you not get your OWN friends to help out? Nothing illegal in that. BUT I digress, as usual. Whatever happens, this is a GAME. May and everyone else knew what they were in for. They know there are kooks out here. Quick clue: this is the Internet. I, for one, have thouroughly enjoyed this game with all the mysteries, back-stabbing, the wonderful insight we now have into folk's private lives, and the friends I have made. The latter, mostly. To WHOMEVER wrote the ugly email and called Host at their home: I ask you to apologise. Tempers have gotten out of hand, and you're using hard-working folks as whipping boys. Ask yourselves this: If =you= had worked this hard, just to provide joy and fun to a group of diverse folks, how would =you= feel right about now? Think about Lisa for a moment. This is what she gets: "host: from the time you emailed me saying that you got home until the time you posted this message was no time at all....you should learn that you can't run a website without listening to the people that support you, you will fail every time." SHAME!!!!!!!!!! I'll be on a damn plane all day tomorrow. But, fellow b*tches, pr1cks and b*stards, and everyone else who has been touched in a good way by this game, please add a word below here to our Host and our Admin. I promise I'll try to check in tomorrow night, dead or no (8 hours on planes!). I'd love to see this thread have another 5 archives by the time I get there... Lurkers, come out! Nor, we need you and Whit! Nik - hail the troops. Oc, do one of your exquisite writings. Jana: do the right thing. Put yourself in =their= shoes. |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:11 pm  digilady, i don't know why you think i would take your post into consideration, you have obviously been quick to be AGAINST anything i say throughout this game whether i was right or not....ok NOW i am going to sleep dammit! so feel free to slam me now.....i think i am done with the "game" boards..... |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:13 pm  called them? i didn't call them, what are you talking about? |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:14 pm  nasty emails? are you delusional? i have not sent one bad email about Neil or Host....i have NO idea what you are referring to! |
Tvfan | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:18 pm  Wow! Ok, I have no idea what it takes to run a website, however, I did appreciate having something to participate in after BB ended. I would like to thank all that were involved in making this happen. I think you took a concept and kept the ball rolling. The glitches happened and people need to move on. If people have complained, it's too bad. They have the choice that we all have, don't participate. Anyway, thanks again for filling the BB void and I'll look forward to being a "lurker" if there is a Game II or BB 2. Digi, I hope you have a safe trip. |
Wink | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:42 pm  Jana: Please try to take a step back for a moment and remember what a great time you've had during the game. The operative word here is "game" and no amount of cheating negates the experiences we've all enjoyed for the past few weeks. To turn your back on something you've been such a large part of only helps validate those spoilers/cheaters whoever they may be. Neil and Lisa deserve our support and congratulations for providing such a stimulating environment, not desertion because of a few smarmy people who have not participated or contributed in any way to the wonderful experience this site has provided for all of us. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:44 pm  Neil and Lisa, You have done an absolutely fantastic job on this site and with The Game. It is amazing how much you do listen to the members and try to please everyone. I love this board and the wonderful people on here. The Game has been great fun too. Lisa and Neil deserve our respect and thanks for putting so much effort and time into this for us to enjoy. Thank you very much Admin and Host |
Misslibra | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:50 pm  I have said it before, but it don't hurt to say it again, THANKS Neil and Lisa, and the rest of the crew for all you do ! I have not read through all of the post in this thread, but have anyone thought that maybe it could be some saboteur, from some other boards doing this trying to spoil things for us, so there is no second game ? (hey it could happen) Is this the only board on the net that has come up with this sort of game, since BB ended ... just curious. If so, hey we are making a little history in a way here. Some people could be a little bit jealous. Just a thought, don't know if anyone brought it up or not. |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 12:06 am  wink, you are right....i am truly sorry for letting the cheaters get the best of me....i have never said that this was neil or hosties fault and i DO give them credit for this.... i have been a little too harsh though and should be more appreciative of what we have here, so i hope you guys will forgive me some day i will learn to step back and take a couple of breaths before i speak that doesn't mean that i'm not still pissed though! thanks again wink for your insightful post...you made some really great points... hmmmm other boards coming over to sabotage eh? now don't get me started again! i am sorry if i seemed ungreatful...i didn't mean to sound that way....i just feel like sometimes people around here are scared to speak their mind because they might be chastised by others and i obviously am always willing to stick my neck (and butt) out to say what is on my mind but i do agree that i should be more appreciative of what hostie has done for us despite all of my criticism, i really did mean for it to all be directed towards the cheaters and not hostie, and i am truly sorry that this has managed to pit some of us against each other now, if you people don't stop posting i am NEVER going to get any sleep dammit! xoxo |
Tvfan | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 12:21 am  Noooooooooo....don't go to bed! Now, I have to sit here and read e v e r y minute detail of Luke's drive to his concert by myself. If he keeps this up, he'll have an archived section just about the drive! I HATE INSOMNIA! |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 12:55 am  I think that what Neil and Lisa have provided for us with this board is more than just their time, their selfless efforts and their unending patience, it is an opportunity for us to gather, meet, discuss and make friends. I have had an incredible time watching this game and participating in the discussions on this board (to the detriment of my RL obligations I might add! LOL) and have made some absolutely fabulous friends! Thank you Neil and Lisa for all you do and know that we truly do appreciate everything! |
Annagator | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:02 am  Enb and Enbwife, You guys are doing a great job and I really appreciate being able to use the site and have fun. I don't think I've visited any other site in weeks. Where else could I hunt for a mole, become a tree, read (not post, never post) about Synchronicity, and find my own kind of synergy all in one day? You have accumulated a fantastic group of people at this site, and I'm grateful to be a part of it. Thanks! |
Lafatme | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:22 am  anna, you're right! i hadn't realized that i haven't been to another site-wow! neil and lisa, thank you. your efforts are appreciated. i think none of us knew what to expect with this game, many people had many different assumptions as to how it would transpire. many of us were wrong. it seems that your only "mistake" was not realizing how much baby sitting some of us, who acted like children, needed. aside from the game, this is still a great site with a lot to offer. there are a lot of very nice posters here. i'm new to all this posting and chatting stuff so i have nothing to compare it to, however, i'm very glad i came here. hopefully things will settle down now. |
Spamgirl | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 07:39 am  Neil and Lisa - good job! As I said before, I'm surprised you can tolerate us Let's hope we all ACT A LITTLE BETTER for anything else the board brings our way
 |
Host | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 08:20 am  See the new thread - Voting Poll Cancelled - Re-vote today... |
Kady99 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 09:44 am  No big long speach here. Just thanks to Neil & Lisa for this site and all the hard work that goes into it. |
