Whit4you | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 08:14 am  Host, I've been "watching" the interaction amongst the players and am very surprised as to how "real" (actually surreal) this all is. I'd like to offer some tips/ suggestions, first there definately should be more "players" next time at least 14 - because the best part of this game I think is when they interact and with only 10 players on different time-zones - it's VERY difficult for them to "hook-up" When determining contestants next time I'd suggest you roll dice for all three time zones and choose 7 contestants from one time zone and 7 from one other time zone. This would allow for more one-on-one interaction. I've seen a suggestion from them that you limit the # of topics allowed this I TOTALLY disagree with. I think it is very important that they be able to discuss as many different issues as they want - however I think The Game topics - the ones WE / or the Host chooses for them should be separated from the ones they make themselves. The I totally think if anyway possible during this game or at lease the next game there should be two "all chat" times alotted per day. If at all possible - in a chat room where only BGs are allowed to speak (and this would HAVE to be logged and posted. If it's not possible to find someone to log/ and post during two specific times a day. Then what can be done is to at the onset of the game have each player choose two one hour periods of the day (be sure to have them specify time zone) that they would most likely be available for a group chat. Find the two most often stated times and post those as "all chat times" So the All chat times might perhaps be 8am est and 11 pm est. Those two times they would make an effort to go to the "living room" (where they could then disperse to other rooms if they so choose) Next - I love the banners and the banner ideas. THe host at this time is choosing which ones "fly" however. And the biggest thrill I think to many of us (was the reason I delurked here)was when WE got to "fly a banner" ourselves. So I really think you should let US as a group make a vote once a day or at least the day before nominations each time - on a banner or two to fly. (having only BB or in this case - The Host - choose the banners changes the flavor and excitement of the banners) Ok I have alot more to say but I'm sure your busy so enough said for now LOL |
