Do you only assess the players by their actions in the game or does your pre-game knowledge seep into your thought processes?

I have been turning this around in my mind. I really want to assess the players based only on their game playing, but I don't know if I can avoid other opinions tainting my views.

What do you think?

I have no pre-game knowledge of Juju, New or Merlin. So I am judging them strictly by what I see in the game. The others I have bias for or against based on their post to TVCH. And of course I know Az personally. I am the one having a hard time not talking about the game with her. There is so many times I want to say-- You need to do this or You need to talk about this or that. But I can't and I won't. I really enjoyed watching the chat last night instead of reading it later. It really helped me assess some people. :)

I find I'm biase towards those players I know well, i.e. Guru, OI, MissLibra, etc. The ones I don't know so well, I tend to dismiss which I realize is wrong...

And I am so confused, just going on the game itself. One day I dislike this one, the next day I think I was wrong, the day after there's another one who seems loveable.

Lord I am rambling, should go back to Lurkerville.

Most of the people in Game 2 I don't know very well at all.

I never formed strong opinions about any of them, with the exception of Spam who I distrust.

I feel as though most of my decisions on voting will be based on who I get to know the most in the Game.

I'm looking for a kind, honest, real person who is self-aware, self assured and fun. My decisions will be based on this...and this alone.

At this point my favorites are Merlin and Az.

I am trying to choose according to the one who least contributes.

Lol Moonie!!!!

And they even get outside contact....i.e. more chat, able to post on other parts of the TVCH...and the fact they can talk to friends, although NOT about the Game.

I probably won't vote, since I haven't read all of what's going on, but Ocean gets my support, following by Misslibra, Merlin and Az. To me, Ocean is bright,honest, articulate, thoughtful and has an innate sense of what level to operate on. He also is clever enough to know what issues to stay away from and how deeply to get involved in others. I think he's on an entirely different plateau than the rest of them.

Just to set the record straight... from what I understand from reading all of this... they can view certain parts of board such as "The Mole" but can not post. :o)

How do you make your voting decisions?

I roll a dice :)

Vote? We get to vote? When did this happen?

Seriously, just looking at how they represent themselves. I like a straight forward approach, with attempts of getting to know others and giving others a chance to get to know you. Not the right or wrong approach to it--just the one I'll use.

My voting decision is based upon which one I find the most amusing and that means Guru. He has it all baby!
It might be because he reminds me of my brother too much, so I might be biased.
At the same time, how could you not love the guy?
He has the most quotable quotes. (Elitist and OI are pretty good too, but I am going for the GenX thang)

Lala, if you like Guru you really wouldn't want to be voting for him. You have to vote for the one that is banished. :o)

Tell you one thing. After reading what Merlin said about his perceived rivals:

"A Female player as a rival? Now that I think about it, I have never considered them as rivals."

The Interrogator asks:
I want to be sure I am not misunderstanding what you are saying. You don't consider female players to be rivals, or threats?

Merlin nods his head and says:
I realize that a female has a chance to win, but it just comes natural that my competition per se is from the other males.

Wow. So he doesn't think women are adequate rivals for his Mensa mentality? Ooops that was Spam who is/was Mensa.

I think we should show Merlin just how wrong he is and boot him out of there.
Now more than ever I want Juju to win!

I'll call BS on this right now. I've seen in game I and game II females saying a woman should win, the "you go girl" thing a number of times, and the hear us roar thing, and us girls have to stick together.

Tell me how that's any different than this! Great so see such a double standard...seems it's ok for females to talk about the competition in terms of gender...even saying to the point that a female should win. If that isn't discounting the males as competition, or at least saying the winner should be based on gender, then what is it?

I'm not saying Merlin is right for any of his comments. I'm just wondering why it's ok for some of you women to make them. I didn't notice any women jumping on the women who made them--just on the men (sorry--man) who did.

I can just imagine the crap any guy would be given in game I if he said "whatever happens, I want a man to win."

It was said more than once about wanting a woman to win no matter who won. Specifically by Moon and May on the inside--don't remember by who on the outside.

Don't say it's wrong to do for one gender to say it, and ok for the other.

Personally, I think gender shouldn't play a role in who wins or who looses, and both are just as good at playing the game.

There is a difference between saying we want a women to win and saying that we think a man can't, Lance...
