Sorry Neil but to those of us who only check in once or twice a day this whole "Game" thing does not bring about any ammusment. i appreciate your helping us with withdrawl but I think the only response from this is the same 6 or 7 seven people who are here ALL THE TIME.

I think it's a little harsh to say it's a bigger bust, but I have to say that while I love the concept of the game, the sheer number of posts seems immense to look through. Maybe, as outsiders, we are only supposed to be looking at the Discussion Topic posts, and the rest are there for the contestants to communicate with each other? There are A LOT of posts, and it just seems a bit overwhelming and unwieldy to me to have to read through all of them...

people! when we were doing BB the posts were over-whelming as well! that goes with the territory....

you guys are giving up way too soon..the game just started today! why don't you wait and see how it turns out before you start making judgments

remember BB wasn't that fun until nomination days either...maybe a live show will get you kids going!

Are you afraid to post your message in the game area, Kiari? I propose it as a challenge for you.

Ocean I already did post in there that The Game was too Difficult to follow. Go back and read it. As far as i can remember you posted on that thread too.

I tried reading the discussions and other stuff about 'The Game'. I find it to be very confusing, and probably more fun for the people actually playing the game. If you are enjoying it, more power to you, I just can't see myself getting into it that much. Maybe I'll be a "casual" viewer, watching only nominations & banishments.

What do you expect? The whole thing is an experiment. We don't do this for a living. It's a hobby, we're trying to have some fun here while we wait for the next Big Brother or cool reality TV show to come along that we can all get interested in. I'm very happy to see 6 or 7 people having fun. Better than nobody having fun!

It's only as much fun as you make it. Personally, I've been having a blast! There's some really fun people on this board with funny things to say, and hopefully the game area will pick up too. If not, oh well, we tried.

There's other areas of the board to enjoy too if you're not interested in the game. If there's something you want and don't see it, please make a suggestion. Are you a Trekkie and want a Star Trek area? Maybe an old James Bond movie buff?

I can only think so much and guess so much as to what everyone wants. I need your input! You've all become my friends, I want to make this place as much fun as possible. If you have an idea, lets here it. :)

Geez - now I know how CBS felt!!!
Hang in there... there's so much more to come - we're just getting started. To make it easier, just follow the Challenges and official Topics in the Challenges and Discussions area. Read the rules first! Still to come - Nominations, Banishments, Voting Polls, Red Room Confessions, Prizes, Scheduled Chat Times with the Players and more. :)

Well we can certainly see how hard it is to try to "snap people out of it" and get them to wake up and starting being real -- when there is this gulf between us, the inability to communicate directly.


Let's see, perhaps I should consult all my old posts about what the BB producers should have done for Big Brother....

~boggle~ It's been one freaking day, people!

Don't listen to that crud, Neil! This is a great idea and I think it is coming together and will be awesome!

It's very creative and I am enjoying the "challenge" of figuring out the house "maze" and getting a handle on the contestants. Once we become more familiar with the rhythm of The Game it will be just like following BB. Think of all the contortionist type manuevers we attempted in an effort to watch the live feeds, follow updates, board postings and fan sites! All at the same time!! Now if we only had some kind of audio to play in the background the picture would be complete.

Neil and/or Host I'm having trouble with the site itself. Seems it generates a lot of errors and AOL shutdowns when I try to move between posts and spots on the site. Have you had word on anyone else having connectivity problems. I see that girl with pigtails once more and I'm gonna hurl.

I'm having a good time. It took some time to catch up. The game guests (GG's) were doing a lot of yakking trying to get to know each other but using new msg search will make it easier now. They were also running around different rooms trying to find each other. They'll settle down soon. I like the live feeds idea. How can we have two active screens at once? One to watch (read)and one to report on. There must be a way. Nosloona (sp) seems to be doing it okay, but she has to go back and forth. Gotta go to work now. See you all later.

I like this. I had some trouble figuring everything out at first but then I had the same thing when I first started on this board. Now I can find my way around easily enough. This is only the first 24 hours and everything takes time. I hope everyone just gives it the time it takes. We will all work out a system that works for us as the BGs work out things for themselves.

I had fun last night, coming home and reading everything! I was a little confused at first, but it didn't take long to catch on. Hey, I even jotted down a few notes! lol

me too, Dee! Best fun seems to be in the new Chat room, discussing the WGs. And reading them in another window. Y'all, try THAT tomight... you get to know both the HGs and the folks here. Tis cool.

Yes, the game got off to a slow start. But the Death Penalty thing, now...

My interest got fired up. The Banner was great too.

I'm not giving up on it, I will stay till the end. I am loving the concept so far, but I came in with no preconceived opinions of what it would be like. I can't wait to see who wins!

i was confused at first but things are beginning to come together now.

the problems with the rooms is that, on BB, the camera followed the HG, here we have to move from room to room with them.

I think after one day, there's been a great amount of discussion. All you people who complain about minor issues and are selfish about your own needs and desires, especially those of you who live here all day, should probably realize that may be the reason you weren't chosen in the first place.

Geez! Definitely getting interesting now. The thing is spawning great discussions on the board as well (in large part, thanks to Ocean!)

Keeerist I can feel the addiction setting in. JUST when I nearly had a life back :(

Hey - it's great to have something to talk about again! Of course the BGs will be boring sometimes, and maybe we don't care about watching them try to get to know each other and figure out who they are, where they fit in, etc. Good, bad, or otherwise, at least we have something to talk about that we are all interested in!

Digilady is right, the best part is chatting and following at the same time. Hope you see you all there tonight, and remember to use the new "members only" chat so the BGs can't get in.

Enbwife and admin - thanks for all your hard work, it is truly appreciated.

Know what, Anna, Nos & others?

We should set a general time frame for our chats. I always wander in, see no one, and book back out.

Any ideas?

My wife was the one to get me involved in this site while BB was on, and now again with the introduction of The Game. At first , I admit I was very confused mostly with the rooms , and now still with the BGs names/nics keeping who is who straight ? Confusing for me. And if that is my only crip so be it...I find The Game to be very entertaining and amusing. I personally would like to take this time to Thank Neil and Lisa for coming up with such a great idea, and like everything else , has niches and flaws to work out. I for one appreciate all thier time and effort that was put forth to bring us The Game. Thank You!!
