I wasn't wanting conflict, I usually don't, but I was expecting there to be more in here.

Like I said the fact that it isn't happening in here...is that part of being real in here because we know we are being judged?

I mean, are we staying true to ourselves and being real in here without the conflict we had out there?

Does being in here change what is real in us?
We seemed to careless about respecting others opinions out there, so why do we care more in here? Is it all for show, thus we are all being fake to a degree....or is it a natural part of the reality in here?

Zeb--work...er, I mean Ive just been cleaning up the house a bit.

Wow, I must be doing something wrong...I don't pay attention to the cameras or what the viewers are going to think. Of course that approach may not win me any points!

What all have you folks been doing today??

Moon, you've got fan sites!!

Well... when you put it that way Arreal... hmmm... good question... I mean, I guess I'm being real... but then again, I'm not a confrontational type of guy... or at least someone to start a confrontation. And for me, if one is started, I'm usually okay at handling it and not flipping out... reason is cuz I usually don't handle physical confrontations well... (I'm not a big-framed kind of guy at all)... so my defense mechanism has been to develop my ability to handle confrontations on a more intellectual level... But to make a long story short... I'm true... what about you guys?

I honestly feel like I am being real. I also don't look for conflict, but I will stand up for what I believe in. I always try not to 'bash' or flame people. I didn't on the outside either.
I feel like I am being very real.

In my opinion, people in here came across as instigators on the outside. But nothing has come up in here. To me that is weird, so I am questioning what is real. I would also like to be sure I have a good clue as to who in here is who out there.

I have a few alias' in here matched to who they are out there. but...

<walking toward the hot tub...noting there are even HUGS in the hot tub...>

Well, at least you guys are thinking about conflict rather than just avoiding it.

Not that I believe in conflict for the sake of conflict, but I have a hard time believing all of you are as calm, passive and angelic as you want everyone else to believe you are.

I don't think we really behave amicably for the good of group. I think our behavior is dictated by our egos.

People will go out of their to pretend to be friendly so that they are liked and admired. But that's not very genuine, is it?

Intense people make me just as uncomfortable as they may make you. But it's the people who are always nice, the ones you have to wonder if they go home and do destructive things behind closed doors as a way to express their intensity are the ones that scare me.

A lot of the talk on the outside has been all about evaluating people. Big Brother was about judging people inside the house, yet everyone in the house knew nothing of what was going on or being said until they got out. I imagine the outside crowd is having a field day because you can't predict how people will want to present themselves in this situation. I believe most people want to be judged based on who they are. You take some of the outside people and place them in here and see if some of the belligerent ones don't change to reflect who they really are.

I'll probably get booted for saying this, but I don't care. My opinion is that half of the people on the outside aren't being themselves, especially if you were to meet them in person. This is a haven to come vent their overall dissatisfaction in life by focusing on the faults and conflicts of others.

The real question is: "Is the true game on the inside or the outside and which one is more fun?"

I feel like I've been the way I was on the outside postings. Actually the way I am in real life as well. That is something that is important to me.

For this game, though it doesn't matter what I think--it matters what the voters think if they are using that as a criteria. If they aren't, then they might not care.

I'm open to objective observation...for those that looked at my posts on the outside (I bet you know who I am by now), do you think I'm the same "person"???

Arreal--you thought I was an instigator??

Oh my, take a two hour nap and look what appears! Woohoo....naked hot tub!! Much better than a trampoline. Nothing like sitting in a hot tub late at night when it's about 20° outside, snow on the ground and all the stars are out. Ahhhhhhh....this will be nice.

Trust me Xenia... I can hang with the best of them (b*tches) but I do think that it doesn't take conflict to get a point across sometimes... I have never claimed to be an angel!

And avoiding hugs makes me want to give more of them!

I am a nice person. True, I have my faults...but those come out away from the puter. I get bitchy at my husband or daughter or my dog or sister. I don't tend to get that way over peoples opinions on-line.

The people who can cause me the most anger and discomfort are those in my life away from virtual reality. I still honestly feel I am very real on here.

When you jumped on Moon or May on the board my only thoughts were "Xenia is really rude and out of line" most of my thoughts went to the other person I felt was being attacked unnecessarily.
I'm a compassionate person. Not an angry person.

I can be passionate about what I believe without having to attack. That is Real for me.

Actually, after thinking about it, I believe the people on the outside are probably having a bigger time bashing each other than bashing us, especially if they are bashing bashers. LOL!

Well, I think most will agree that on the outside, Tuk as a bit of an instigator. We seem to have no instigator in here, but Know Tuk is in here. Will the REAL personality of Tuk please come forward?

I guess I'm just doing too much questioning and speculating. I don't want problems or conflicts
but I am question what real personalities are.

Zeb, you said: "The real question is: "Is the true game on the inside or the outside and which one is more fun?""

Excellent point!
