Guruchaz | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 08:24 am  Always voting the interesting people out. What a bunch of morons. I'm serious.  |
Digilady | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 08:51 am  Grrr... I hate to agree with the Guru! ROFLMAO |
Vasix | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 08:57 am  Guru: welcome to the wacky world of humans and their choices. I used to work in the ice cream industry. In retail outlets serving 10 or more flavors: vanilla ice cream out sells all competitors hands down. Always has been. Vanilla is the choice of most people no matter how much they claim they like exotic and interesting. |
Katie | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:16 am  Exotic is fun for once in a while but the tried and true is best for most of the time. If you had it all of the time, it wouldn't be special anymore. |
Affinity | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:26 am  According to Adven's post about ignoring posters. This thread would most definitely qualify. Please do not post here anymore. Us "morons" wouldn't want to titillate the "idiot" |
Vasix | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:28 am  Katie! Wish I could say the same about frozen Milky Ways. LOL! |
Norequerdo | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:28 am  That is the typical response by a certain group of people. You don't like what you hear so ignore the poster and try to get everyone else to ignore the poster. Guru, do you have any idea how old these people are. |
Affinity | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:30 am  Like it matters. By the way you talk you don't seem that old yourself |
Spamgirl | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:32 am  People take things personally... this game, BB, Survivor... and when they come to vote, they think of it like this: "If I was in there, who would I want out?" instead of the more appropriate: "Who is the most interesting? Who makes this game fun? Who WANTS out (so we should leave them in! )? Who is stirring up sh-t?" Of course, Tali was a good choice in the beginning - she'd already played out her "interest" cards in her double dealings fiasco... she didn't have much "excitingness" left in her But Xenia - although she infuriates us, at least she's doing something - and Zeb - he keeps Xenia going for us - are really the wrong choices... unless we want a game full of boring, hugs 'n' kisses people... Then again, who did I vote for? Xenia and Zeb I'm no one to talk...

Azriel1104 | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:42 am  I liked Roger before he went in the game and I like him in the game. I don't think he is boring or uninteresting. I'm amused by Xenia and Zeb's complaining and whining, so I don't want to vote them out, but who do I want to win? Roger! Cuz he is a nice guy, so sue me. I have my on Roger's ass! LOL! I love that phrase! |
Vasix | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:03 am  Azriel LOL! Roger The Saccharine isn't my choice but your unabashed enthusiasm for him is great. Hope neither of you get chapped skin from the liplock! ;). Neil: emergency airlift to Az of Chapstick! |
Gomer | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:11 am  Just looked at polls.According to the threadline Xenia and Zeb are the 2 most interesting? In my estimation the 2 most egocentric ones of the bunch.Everything (mostly) I've ever seen on their posts have been about THEIR interests-tho X has come around a LITTLE bit.Zeb even starts a discussion topic using his name!Can't take self absorbed people. Roger,on the other hand,seems to be the straw that stirs the drink, and Luke seems interested in the other players'lives. Boring?Give me a conversationalist over a monologist at a party anytime. |
Norwican | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:30 am  What individuals find interesting is soooo subjective. For example, on my way to work today there was at least one person on the freeway that thought the car wreck on the other side was interesting enough to slow down to about 10mph to gawk at it. Whereas I do not find anything like that interesting at all... tragic, but not interesting. |
Norwican | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:41 am  To continue my preceding post, Xenia is a car wreck... ArReal is a fender bender... Zebulon is a car in the ditch... Everyone else is varying degrees of "interesting" |
Adven39 | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:42 am  Agreed, Norwican. |
Lafatme | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 11:56 am  norwisan, that's odd, because i find xenia to be the only one whose posts are actually fun to read. you never know what she's gonna say. the convos with moon, roger, luke, and may tend to just go on and on for pages wihout anything being said. roger agrees strongly with EVERYBODY, and seems to "feel their pain" constantly. luke is being pulled into the same type of thing by roger. moon doesn't really say anything but seems nice. may is like a ghost. arreal is having computer problems. if it weren't for vyk, xenia, and zeb, there would be nothing to follow. at least they're PLAYING. they seem to be having fun and it's fun watching them. oh well, i only have two votes so you will all have to decide what you want for the next 2 weeks. |
Jenhavins | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:01 pm  You may not like Xenia or Zeb, but if they leave, it will be like WATCHING PAINT DRY. Neither one is a favorite of mine, but they make the conversation interesting and fun to read. |
Norwican | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:14 pm  I don't think it's odd that are opinions are different Lafatme.. that was my point.. "interesting" means different things to different people. So far Vykin has been the most interesting to me and Xenia has been least interesting. This wouldn't be much fun if we all had the same views. |
Norwican | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:20 pm  correcting mistake above.. I meant "our opinions" |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:35 pm  We'll we've watched paint dry before (BB), it won't be the first time! And it didn't stop our obsessions, either. |
Vasix | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:05 pm  Am I to infer from the above posts that watching paint dry is boring? And yes, even when BB was at its worst, I watched "the paint dry". Maybe the fumes got to me. I laugh at Roger being so strongly supporting of EVERYthing. Instead of just acknowledging what people say, he seems to embrace it. He's like a "Hugs Hotline". I think he's really Mr. Rogers of TV trying to break into the internet gig. ++Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood...++ |
Norwican | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:09 pm  Good one Vasix... he's probably putting his cardigan sweater on now  |
Jenhavins | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:11 pm  This I understand Ocean...but when Brit left, the television didn't hold my attention like the watching and reading the live feeds. I still watched the tele, but I was already in too deep. Maybe others won't feel the same after noms are announced and the game proceeds (with only one type of format to receive stimulation). Coupled with the fact that turmoil, trouble, and instigation will be all but little. I like the Game and BG's and will continue to read, but it may not be exciting enough for some. JMO |
Jenhavins | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 01:26 pm  One more thing. I never said it was beneath me to sitting in the middle of my living room floor and watch Paint Dry. Loved every boring minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat.  |
Wcv63 | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:03 pm  On the one hand I recognize the benefits of keeping the more controversial and provocative people in The Game. It certainly does make things more interesting. I find myself much more enmeshed in the game when there is controversy to discuss. On the other hand, the vanilla lovers (and I only like vanilla with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and nuts) are seeing the people that they would like to have as friends. They see people they would feel comfortable talking with and people with whom they identify. This could be from having similar life experiences, values, interests etc. They are different but equally valid viewpoints. |
Guruchaz | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:05 pm  The question is: Do you like authentic vanilla or the vanilla with artificial flavors? Wake up people and realize Xenia and Roger are playing a game within a game. Surely, you're smart enough to realize that. Besides, I always liked Rocky Road. |
Wcv63 | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:23 pm  Now you like Roger Guru? I thought he was the most vanilla of the vanilla wafers? |
Guruchaz | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:28 pm  I like everyone. They make the whole world sing. |
Gomer | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:37 pm  "Roger and Xenia playing a game".Isn't that what we're supposed to be voting on?Who's playing the game?Or is there something I'm missing here? |
Vasix | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 04:34 pm  Man this is like a 900 hundred number for ice cream...french vanilla with steaming fudge oozing down large orbs nestled together...yikes you guys you are starting to sound like the menus from an icecream parlor/restaurant I used to patronize in Ft. Liquordale in the 1970's. Can't remember the name of it...too many paint fumes. Hysterical menu. As for who I vote for? I think I lean on the side of "The Likers" not "The Strikers". I like to see things stirred up and provocative is fun but only occasionally. So I vote as a "Liker", (would I like to have that person around a lot). And I don't vote for people to leave because their supporters are annoying. I'd rather make a pro decision than con decision. |
Gomer | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 04:45 pm  I used to patronize Greg's in FL in the 70's-tho don't remember ice cream parlors |
Misslibra | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 06:56 pm  Jerhavins, come on now, your telling us you found paint drying fun ?????? OMG !!! Lets not make the same mistake twice, remember we are suppose to learn from our mistakes. Just think about it ... if we had left Mega, Jordon, Brittany and Karen is the house, we would of been singing whats that song ... the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we dont need no ... well I think some of you know the rest of the song ... LOL |
Jenhavins | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 07:17 pm  I would have like to have seen more controversy, but all-in-all, I had a blast and was in deep remission (still am). I think the mainstream public voted the most controversial out because they didn't want arguments and confrontations, but wanted peaceful and happy interaction (which is considered boring for national television, that is until alcohol comes into play). I like the fact that Xenia stirs things up and she also has some good insights (although I am still wondering if it is the Real Deal). I think the group is a good ecclectic mix and wish she would stay in just to shake things up. Maybe we should start pouring them Tequila Shots! |
