We are down to 3, from a group of 10. Mantasic, Talisker, Xenia, Zebulon, Arreal, Moondance, and Luke are now on the outside. I saw that I got to know these folks...some better than others. If you have thoughts about anything you liked, didn't like, want to discuss anything in general about any of them, here is the chance. One at a time to all in the same post. and aything in between.

Is there anything left to say, to summarize, to get a message out to one of them...and have it all in one place. Let's hear it!

Mantastic--to me he wasn't here long enough to get to know him very well. That guy could tell a story!! I wish he could have gotten into the game. I believe he would have made a great addition to some of the thoughts and issues we have explored.

Yes, roger I agree with you. I wish Mantastic had stayed as well. I believe though he received what? 7 nominations? That by the time voting would have been over, that he wouldn't have been banished. It deem seem like he had a really busy life in real world at the time, so I can understand if that kept him from playing the game the way he would have liked to

Xenia----a person that seemed almost a contradiction to herself. Intelligent, caring, passionate, intense, and also prone to going ballistic, attacking the person instead of the issue (sorry--as well as the issue).

Her default setting, at least at some point, seems to be to retreat. For this game, it doesn't work well. The main thing is that it works for her in real life...I hope that it does. Sometimes it seemed like she didn't accept how good she was. The challenge puzzles for instance--she said she suicked at them, yet she provided energy and ideas all along the way. Two things critical for someone finally hitting upon the correct good idea--for those puzzles we saw that many ideas were posible--just not the right one!

I really enjoyed talking with her. I enjoyed it a lot! She has so much potential to be able to do what she wants in life---I just hope she goes after it. I hope that she is around once I get out...I'd like to continue interacting with her.

Talisker--I liked her a lot. She had a great sense of humor, wasn't afraid to stand up for herself, and played the game well. The whole mole thing--big deal in my book. The game allows for such things, and having Host or Admin including this is no problem for me. It takes the game in a different direction, although that doesn't make it bad.

As an moderator, she had certain tasks to perform...in seeing any posts ourside (If she did, since she dealt with passwords and people signing up), I stitll question what value the information would have, unless playing to a srategy which would cause you to change how you acted based upon such information.

As much as it seems everyone is being who they really are as a person, I don't see there being much of an impact on how any of us approaches the game.

So, all of my memories of Tali are good from the game perspective. She was always decent to me, and never went after anyone unless provoked in a big way.

btw, I would like to see the game run with a mole with the right 10 people!!

Zeb---This guy is great! He's a terrific competitor, has a great sense of humor (it seems to help in here!), added a ton of information, perspective, and insights into the discussions.

His battles with Xenia were for the most part interesting, although I think they got off topic and made it personal a bit too much. At least at a couple of points they just came right out and said the toic wasn't the point of discussion, they were.

Zeb always waht I describe as an edge to himself and many of his posts. He kept an eye out for people being something other than what they claimed. While he may not have agreed with a person, he always respected their position and their approach if they argued their point well.

He seemed to enjoy a good debate!

He caused us all to think about a lot of things while he was here. I'd want him on my team!
