Lisa, yes the RRs are very good. Still waiting to hear from Merlin.

Gail, excellent point about getting settled in, as that process can be widely varied on how quickly it goes--and how smooth.

Moon, an interesting observation about Spam. let's see if it becomes a strength from her to draw on, or a weakness for her to over come as the game goes along. It's possible this group may point something like that out--and it's possible they won't.

I saw that Tuk--maybe his first face to face won't be with Spam.

Gu really is bold with nominations coming up. I don't think he's walking on eggshells like people think. Everyone else seems to be talking about nominations and what strategy everyone has and etc. Just another observation.

I wonder if Merlin will be here today?

I'm wondering how Spam has decided that we think she's cheating?? I hadn't noticed any of us posting that.

Or does she think her fellow BGs believe that?

Wed night, Lisa!

There's a whole schedule, now where did I put it?

Tuk, obviously you haven't read the chats tonight. Gu is running around in chat posting pictures, giving everyone hot chocolate and flowers. I feel like puking! He's never ever ever had a single useful or kind thing to say to me, has never had a positive interaction with me, and is trying to kiss up (disgustingly so) to the lurkers in chat. It's so transparent and childish. I can't believe anyone is falling for this crap. Truly amazing.

Misha, please say what you really mean--don't hint at it--don't beat around the bush.

Looks like you got your point across. I'm sure you aren't the only one--you just said it first.

Really Misha? Have you ever had anything nice to say about Gu? Just wondering.


So, really, if he was to act his (supposedly) normal self then would he stand a less chance of getting a vote out from you than if he is acting the way he is now?

How can you be so sure about his overall personality, especially with minimal effort on your part?

Just questions.

Besides, I think he found some new chat script or something he's fiddling with.

Am I the only one that thinks that in Game II there is too much chat?

Game I didn't have enough and Game II, the players have the chance anytime and all the time ... I feel is taking away from the game ... it is even harder to follow.

Oh well just a thought ... maybe they can have certain times to chat...blocks of time and the rest has to be dedicated to the board ... discussions ... there is something to be said about writing out your feelings and posting it then just chatting.

I love the Game though... just a suggestion:)

I agree. Too much chat will just cause them to get bored of each other. Whereas, blocked time chat will give them a chance to talk about more all at once.

YES! More interesting exchanges will happen if it is more structured...... I guess we know from experience:) I miss you BTW

Moon, thanks for that. Digi got the message and got the BGs to agree to limit the chats to some certain times. I'm sure she'll post the results. :)

And Tuk, you're right that I've not made an "effort" to understand Gu. Then again, I don't waste my time trying to make nice to someone who went out of their way to destroy a special thread which had a lot of meaning to some of us. Yes, the Loss of a Pet thread. We had some real emotions being shown in there, and he had to come through like a Bull in a China shop and be an ass about it. His lack of sympathy for our feelings turned me off so completly that it left a permanent bad taste in my mouth.

There is one time I think chat (even extended) is a very good thing. When they are working on the puzzles/challenges. It seems to really make it smoother.

I would agree though that just chatting could be done in the hot tub or living room. With 3 or 4 people going, you don't have to wait all that long. Two topics at once keeps it at a pretty good pace.

IMHO

Ok, Mish, just so I understand that you hate him either way. So, it really shouldn't matter how he acts in the game.

As far as the pet thread goes, I know which one you are talking about. I don't recall him every saying anything hateful directly to anyone who lost a pet. I think he was using that thread as an example of negative discussions or something.

I've noticed that Gu isn't the only (again, seemingly) negative person here. Another observation. Besides, I think it's more sarcasm than anything. He does cause some interesting discussions to happen at times.

zeb, the bad posts were deleted - not by me but another moderator. he didnt just post once, he kept trolling that thread then started up a series of other threads that had to be deleted.

Misha... Thanks, that sounds good!:)

Lance ... but you have to admit it is a bit too much and it takes away from it being a board game

Tuk... you know I like Guru but he was a bit much on that Loss of a Pet thread ... to a point of being mean ... different from sarcasm... I guess it would have been better if he could let it go but just like my brothers, he runs it into the ground so I understand what Misha is saying... on that note I am supporting him in the game and I love the personalities that are emerging

Well, all I'm saying is that I don't see any tactics whatsoever from him in this game. I think people want to believe he has tactics but I see others discussing tactics and Gu not discussing them at all. I don't think he really cares one way or another. Besides, it's this attitude everyone is complaining about that got him into the game in the first place, right?

I'm not trying to defend him but I guess I see sort of more where he's coming from.

Moon, I like the idea of them using chat whenever they are working on a puzzle--like they did all day today. It actually gives them more time to post about topics and talk between themselves.

I saw the hours they were restricted to for chat. The board (theirs) will fill up quicker and more of us will follow (and maybe post).

I think it might be slow because they are just getting started. Things like their votes, a few more RRs, and banishment will get us going. Also remember there were a lot more folks posting to start with during game I than now.

I'm confident things will get worked out with them. Digi and Nos will give them what they need to do well on the challenges, and us time to see them in the house. One advantage about posting a little more in the house is that they might start to feel they are in the virtual house instead of just a chat room.

The exchange in the hot tub was enjoyable tonight.
I thought Elitist's comment was funny--that they are probably having more fun than we are (paraphrasing). Of course!!!!! Participating in the game is a lot more fun than watching it!
