Moderator | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 09:42 am  Moondance enters the Red Room confessional and sits down facing the screen. The Interrogator says: Good evening. Feel free to say anything you wish. Maybe something you didn't give voice to while talking with the other players, or some opinion you want to state. Moondance smiles and says: Hi Interrogator... Not sure what to say ... I am having a good time. Everyone here seems to be enthusiastic about The Game. It does feel bit different then I thought it would be... Didn't think I would be so curious about what was happening on the outside. Moondance pauses the continues: I like the subjects you have given us and I became more involved in the puzzle challenge then I thought I would... Sometimes on the BBFC board I would feel invisible but I would scroll down and see where the topic was going and was excited it went a different way ... I would be all right with it ... today was eye opening on the puzzle challenge thread ... I felt as if no one was listening to my ideas and it got frustrating. I voiced my concerns on the thread ... I think these were the things you wanted us to talk about.... Anyway, It would not have been an issue but I had all these theories and was excited ... then 10 or so posts later ... someone else would come up with the same idea and people jumped on their bandwagon. I just wanted to be validated I guess ... I know I know ... I am responsible for my own validation... I guess it something I need to work on. Thanks for listening! Moondance gets up to leave and says: You are welcome to ask any questions next time! The Interrogator replies evenly: If that is all, we will talk again tomorrow. Moondance smiles again, and leaves the Red Room. |
Moderator | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 02:10 pm  Moondance saunters into the Red Room and sits down. She smiles serenely at the screen and says: Wow ... what a difference a day makes.... A couple of heated discussions. It could be more productive if people weren't so set to change another's mind. I think a good discussion should have a goal to bring out some valid points, maybe make others think or even learn something yourself. It is great to be passionate though in your belief. I think we were looking for some good discussions like these in the BB HGs. The Interrogator says: Were there any particpants who stood out for you? Moondance nods her head and says: I loved Luke's response in the Homosexual thread ... it was strong yet non abrasive touched with humor. He took the higher road and got my support. Manastic isn't around much but boy when he is ... I didn't know if I was reading his post or a good romance novel! I guess that is it... Can't wait until the group chat! The Interrogator says: If that is all, we will talk again tomorrow. Moondance smiles and says: Thanks again for listening As she heads out the door, she turns and says: Good night... Sweet dreams |
Moderator | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 06:07 pm  Moondance enters the Red Room and sits down. The Interrogator says: You have gotten to meet and know each other for a couple of days. Sometimes first impressions last the longest. Select two houseguests, preferably one you like and one you don't (or one you like the least) and tell me YOUR impression. Moondance looks to be deep in thought. She speaks up and says: To answer your questions... There isn't anybody that I dislike here.... Xenia left an impression on me when she popped back a passionate response.... I respect that! I love conviction...I do think though sometimes when in a heated discussion you have to breathe ... when people start to "yell" the other stops listening. The Interrogator says: That would be a dislike, now someone you like. Moondance thinks for a moment and says: Arreal has been forthright, honest and open ... as always! Those were my first impressions ... thanks for your time. The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again tomorrow. Moondance stands up and stretches. On her way out the door she says: Hope all is well out there! |
Moderator | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:17 am  Moondance sits down in the Red Room and says: I couldn't sleep so I thought I would come in for a minute... She appears pensive and then says: Himay ... breathe!!! When you believe in something stand behind it ... it is all right when someone disagrees. Not everyone will. She means well and has a good heart. I love the open forum but there are some in here that are aware of the 'cameras' so they are afraid to be too strong in their convictions. I am guilty of it too so I admire the courageous ones. Moondance pauses in thought for a few moments and then says: I am feeling kind of bad about nominations ... I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings nor did I want Mantastic to be up for banishment... I was torn because he hasn't been around but I noticed he really showed up today and participated. I enjoy his posts. After a moments silence the Interrogator says: If that is all, we will... Moondance says: Oh yes... I wanted to thank Lisa ... I used her daily updates for the questions I didn't know on the challenge¦ It was also fun to read and remember some favorite funny moments! The Interrogator coughs and says: If that is all ... He waits a moment and then says: We will talk again tomorrow. Moondance smiles and says: Thanks. She then leaves the Red Room. |
Moderator | Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 09:27 pm  Moondance enters the room and sits down: Hi! Well it's been a day ... started off pretty Hot then it cooled down! I am not up for banishment so of course I feel good about that! I am glad I will be around at least another week. But I do feel bad for the others that are up. They are all handling really well. I am having fun. I am learning more about everyone every day. Vykin's post on his Father was amazing. He put it all into words so well. We had fun on the challenge ... pretty funny if the answer is as simple as we thought I do want to say I was sad to see Mantastic leave. I enjoy him! I hope everything works out. I am sorry this is short... I am really tired. Sweet Dreams Moondance exits the room. |
Host | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 05:09 am  Moondance enters the room and takes a seat: Hi... I'll just get to the point As far as this "Tali-Gate" is concerned ... let the game continue! Gail has done a lot of work on the BBFC board ... she was always around posting opinions and answering questions so I understand why she was allowed to play the game! It was a just reward. I do feel though her other board privileges like ours should have been voided and should only be allowed in the "Playroom." I do think she should have taken more responsibility to whole situation ... they all made the mistake (their own part in different ways) ... that said since she has "come out" she actually has been a much bigger participant. Also her edge is gone and makes it easier to bond with. Arreal is not fragile or weak but sensitive. She came clean and I appreciate that ... she claimed her responsibility to the situation. She also handled some left over barbs thrown out at her, turned it around and now I think things are smoother. Vykin also should have come clean instead of avoiding responsibility. They a ll were part of this. That is just my opinion but it really doesn't matter what I say or think ... this is Neil & Lisa's game and I knew what I was getting into. BB changed the rules as it went along so why can't the Big host. Kudos to them for doing all of this for our enjoyment and entertainment. Let the games continue! Oh I wanted to say one more thing.... I am sorry feelings got hurt between them!!! That was the worse part. Thank you ... hope you having a good weekend! Moondance exits the room. |
Moderator | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:02 pm  Moondance walks into the room and sits down. It's been great the last couple of days ... wish we could keep it this way and not have to banish two more... BTW nominations are so much harder then you think. I have to keep reminding myself it is a game.... Xenia 'interviewed' me last night .... She is so complex. So much passion for one person. She asked some really good questions ... I don't mind being open and talking if people want to know. I hope she does it with the others. I feel like I connect with Luke ... what a sweet person he is. Roger is great too ... always fun to talk with. I hope Arreal gets her computer back soon ... the one she is using doesn't allow her to post very often and I miss her & her input. Zeb is so interesting... I love the fact he is different in a smaller controlled group then he was on the outside... I wish he was around more and interacted with us ... he is so good on the discussions threads! May's schedule has not allowed her to post very much ... Like to hear more from her too. I feel so bad about the her kitty, Levi's health. I cry every time I talk to her on a thread about it! So Curtis & Britt know about 'The Game' ... how cool is that! Oh well ... thought I would check in ... hope all is well! Interrogator: If that is all, you may go. Moondance gets up and exits the room. |
Moderator | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 07:11 am  Moondance was in the Red Room for a daily talk when she looked at the screen and said: ... you know I will never understand why someone can be cruel just so they can be entertained ... blows my mind. I posted my feelings about the Zen/Xenia 'thing' only to have it turned around by the X. Instead of taking a moment to reflect on what someone says she reacts ... exactly what she wants us to do... Misery loves company! I am sorry for what ever she has dealt with to get her to such a hateful place. I know that I was like this myself at one time and I had to learn things the hard way. I hope it doesn't take a major illness to show her that what she does and how she communicates isn't necessary especially if happiness is a goal. Moondance sighs and says: That's all ... had to vent The Interrogator says: We will talk again later. Moondance gets up and leaves the room. |
Moderator | Saturday, October 21, 2000 - 11:35 am  Moondance glides into the Red Room and sits in the chair. The Interrogator says: Your good bye to Xenia was fairly terse. Would you like to discuss your feelings about her? Moondance sighs and says: You want to know about my feelings about Xenia.... Xenia was so defensive about Zeb making a comment about her picture ... which was unfair but she had accused him of worse with the allegation of abuse ... but she was quick to do the same to me and I had said nothing to her. (she made derogatory comments about my age, etc.) I feel sorry for her. She has so much hurt and fear deep inside of her and it comes out as anger projected onto others. I hope that one day she will be able to look back and see the significance of the last two weeks. The Interrogator asks: What do you think about her statements that she was just acting that way to provide entertainment? Moondance shakes her head sadly and says: She had made comments about it all being a thing she does for entertainment. I don't think that qualifies as an excuse because what she did and how she treats the abuse situation was uncalled for and did not consider someone else's tragedy for her fun & entertainment. If she wanted to ride Zeb about something fine, have fun but leave accusations of feelings, character & a sensitive subject out of it. There are other constructive ways of doing it. Hopefully when she can get past her inner demons and stop looking for things in others to analyze and turn that inward to herself. The Interrogator says: Did she hurt your feelings with her comments and actions towards you? Moondance nods her head and says: Yes, no matter how little it matters of some one's perceptions of you, words can still hurt. Does it really matter & will she ever be a friend? No, Life is too short to surround your self with people like this. I am not sure what she meant when she said I was fake ... on her way out of the house ... but I know that I tried on many occasions to reach out to her, be nice & supportive no matter the havoc she was causing on the board ... if that is fake in her definition well I take it ... in my definition it is called integrity. The Interrogator says: If that is all, we will talk again later. Moondance smiles and says: Thanks for listening! |
Moderator | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:57 am  Moondance enters the room and sits down facing the screen. She says Hi I want to talk about Zeb leaving now... The Interrogator says: Go ahead. Moondance smiles and continues: I MISS HIM! I will miss his thoughtful posts, his intelligence but most of all his humor. He handled all the stressful situations with his quick wit so well. His posts were fun to read and I will miss that. He was such a gracious banishee. I hope he is doing well and everyone welcomes Tukuul back with open arms and a brand new perception! I am excited about our reward ... it will be great to have Zeb back for a while! Considering he did most of the work on the Challenge, it is fitting that he would be the one! I think that sums it up... The Interrogator says: If that is all, we will talk again later. As she is leaving the room Moondance turns and says: Hope you are having a good day BTW... I thought it would be fun if you were able to come in and talk ... I think you hold some secrets that would be fun to know! |
Moderator | Monday, October 23, 2000 - 08:03 am  Moondance glides into the Red Room and sits down. She looks at the screen and says: Hi Ya! Hope you are having a great day! The Interrogator says: What would you like to talk about? Moonglance frowns and says: Arreal. I am so sorry that she quit and even more sorry that we were not able to say good bye. Things have been an emotional rollorcoaster all right! I hope Arreal is having some fun... I am sure Digi, Nos and all the girls are happy to have her back... We are sorry that we don't have her! The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again later. Moondance smiles and says: I will come back later! As she heads out the door she turns and says: Bye  |
Moderator | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 07:52 am  Moondance saunters into the room and takes a seat in front of the screen. She tossles her hair and says: Just thought I would come in a talk about the game.... The Interrogator says: Talk away. Moondance smiles and says: It's been a couple of weeks since I have been on the outside boards ... it's strange on one hand because they were like a family but now we have a family in here. It is a 'game' but there we are human too. I talked about our reaction to Arreal yesterday and I really thought more about it ... what we do for survival's sake. We have become our own utopia ... we don't want conflict and have we have avoided at all costs? The Interrogator says: For example? Moondance ponders the question a moment and says: For example, does that make Xenia more 'real' because she did not go out of way to avoid it or does it make her a 'player' by making conflict. Both are not wrong choices. (I do wish her conflict she brought was less hostile and offending ... IMO there was no excuse ... to play the game or not) But it was the way she choose to play. She is gone, ( and I hope she is doing great... I wish her the best, I truly do. No one should have to endure pain alone) . So does that mean as a society we do strive for utopia no matter what we say and do on the outside? No matter the choice, it is a real choice so doesn't that make you real? What about the 'behind the scenes with Arreal, Vykin & Tali'? ... That was swept under the mat in here ... Was it right?. I can't be the judge, the outside is for that but that is how we dealt with it in here. Striving for utopia? Just something to think about ... it happened in USA Big Brother too. Were the Europeans a different kind of society for keeping the conflict in? Who knows, it just makes me think. The Interrogator asks: Do you think less conflict is good? Moondance nods her head and says I am glad that as a group in the Game, we have made the choice to keep the boarders with less conflict ... but does that make it for a better game for the outside ... what does that say about an audience.... UUrrgghh too much to think about, I need some Ben & Jerry's ice-cream It has brought out personalities, pain, grief, happiness, hostility that were maybe buried so all in all, I hope it has been a good experience for all of us. The Interrogator says: Nominations are impending. Are you looking forward to them? Moondance grimaces and says: Nominations are NOT going to be fun ... not that they ever were! HiMay is fun!... She has been trying to come around more. She has some great stories! Luke is Great. I think he looks at me as convo-competition with Roger. I think if Roger was not straight we might see some action! Vykin can write, fun and sooo charming... that's probably good so his little discrepancies are over looked Roger... well that's not hard... we nominate each other. LOL All competition ... so even when I nominate for competition's sake (excluding personal stuff) still makes it a toss up! The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again later. Moondance smiles and says: Talk to ya soon ... hope you are having a great day! As she gets up to leave she says: I forgot I have something for Xenia (this was sent to me today and I want her to have it) PRAYER: May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing that you are a child of God. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one of you. Learn from the PAST. Live in the PRESENT. Plan for the FUTURE. Let no day end before you have spoken words of love, friendship and thanks.
Moondance smiles and says: Okay I am gone this time.  |
Moderator | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 07:53 am  Moondance smiles as she glides into the Red Room and sits down. The Interrogator says: Good Evening Board Guest. You just experienced the 15 minute chat with Zebulon. Give me your thoughts and impressions from it. Moondance runs a hand through her hair, smiles and says: Lots of Fun!!!! Makes you miss everyone when you see the names lined up on the side... I am still glad the troopers have stuck around! I hope we can spice it up for them. The Interrogator says: Any thoughts about Zebulon? She nods her head and says: Zeb... something about him ... I love a man that takes control and is smart. The chat went really smooth ... of course we had fewer people but he made sure he answered everyone's question. He was straight and to the point. I miss him. I miss his posts... I have to start those discussion topics he gave us! Okay back to truth or dare The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again later. Moondance smiles at the screen and says: Hope you are doing well ... have a great night!

Moderator | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 06:21 am  Moondance bounds into the room and sits down. She smiles and says: Hi ya! The Interrogator says: Is there anything in particular that you would like to discuss? Moondance ponders the question then says: Things are great! We are a pretty tight group. Well, we have more topics and stating our opinions but still no conflict...IMO the conflict comes from a lack of respect ... even when we differ, we accept that opinion and choose not to attack... I now I know... probally not as fun to watch! Again reminds me of Big Brother ... even when things were questionable, the group on a whole choose to get along. The Interrogator says: How do you feel about this round of nominations and banishments? Last banishment round and we are all up for banishment! Nominating is harder than getting nominated because I know it is a game and is not personal ... but I am still nervous about tomorrow night. If I leave I will miss everyone but I will support them from the outside ... if I stay, I will be sad to see any of the other four go. Gotta go work on the challenge The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again later. Moondance smiles and says: By for now |
Moderator | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 07:52 pm  Moondance glides into the Red Room and sits down. She says: HiYa! The Interrogator says: Good Afternoon Board Guest. As you know from the short chat session, a group of people decided to cheat and corrupted the voting process over banishment. The votes have been thrown out in order to be fair, and a new method of voting instituted. Some have claimed, right or wrong, that this is not the first instance of tampering, and at least 1 other BG has suffered because of it. So, what is YOUR take on this whole situation? How would you feel if a group of people were tampering with the vote to banish you? OR to keep you in? Moondance sighs unhappily and says: First let me say how sorry I am all this happened. I feel bad for the work it may cause you and especially the Host. I have been posting and the mood is heavy. All of this has effected the BGs and there is some tension. It puts a bad taste in your mouth. Roger and Luke have been great. Very supportive. Vykin wants to be but is too wrapped up in the Arreal/Kearie-Gate. I wish he could let that go. It is only taking away from his playing the Game. I feel he gives Kearie way too much power, I honestly can say it doesn't sound like something I think she would do. HiMay is wonderful ... through all this she has been present. Always ready to listen to any of us. I think she is our Cass in a way. She has been really sweet even when, I am sure she feels just as bad about what has happened. I wish this game didn't have the cheaters... I would not want the votes tampered with for or against me ... what fun would that be. I would want to be banished or voted for fair and square. Other than that it has been such a heart opening experience. Thanks for all of your hard work too. The Interrogator says: If that is all we will talk again later. Moondance says: Thanks again! Then she leaves the room. |
