Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 10:25 am  TuKuul, I'm not worried if Guru likes me. His approach to Game I is the same approach he uses now. If someone doesn't agree with them, they are at fault--no other view is allowed to be valid. When he complains, it's valid. If someone else complains when he thinks things are fine, he goes off on them. He treats you with respect, and for the most part, shows few others respect, although expects in in return from everyone else. He doesn't take responsibility for most not getting his humor or his messages--it's everyone else's fault, and never his for the way he communicates. As far as talking to me, I hadn't seen it previously. I've asked him a number of questions which he never responded. Heck, Spam asked him a very valid question when they had their little tiff just before the game. Then she re-asked it again because he didn't answer. He never did answer it. If he had, he would have had to admit he was wrong. It's also easy to address a topic and give straight answers. I have no issues with him being his own person and having his own ways. I do have issues with him feeling everyone else should fall in line with his views or face his wrath. He has the "not only are my views right for me, they are also right for you" approach. I believe that puts a lot of people off towards Guru, as his actions toward people are done based on that belief. Having said that, I also believe he has some really good qualities. Smart, funny (at times), can be insightful, and has a great logic system. |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:08 am  Good Job Misha on the reply to their questions in the challenge |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:11 am  Misha, I agree with Moon. Great job on providing the information he asked about. One of those things you end of having to go through everything in order to get the information you provided. Thanks for taking the time to give them good information. |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:18 am  I am just glad the "memoirs" came in handy... This is my feeling on the alternate thing... I think the BGs have too much say on the Game... Digi is the host and should have the say about the alternate and not give them a choice... What happened to the BigBrother mentality ... she has been a fabulous host and making sure they have everything ... etc but lets through a wrench in and make them deal... I hope this is coming out right but I feel they should have to deal with something like this ... it could add spark ... don't give them a choice! Cammie and one other will be banished ... bring Joni in and let the game precede as is ... make them deal, we could see some sparks!!!!! PLEASE |
Willi | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:32 am  Moon, I agree. |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:47 am  Moon and Willi are right. We need to mess with them a bit. Can we put our heads together and make some suggestions to Digi on how to make their lives a little less comfortable. |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:50 am  I think this is the perfect opportunity to make things a little uncomfortable for them... Send Joni In! |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:51 am  We also can send in more cryptic messages ... through tennis balls and banners ... confuse the hell out of them! I used to be nice! |
Norwican | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 12:12 pm  I agree an alternate should be sent in to replace Cammie (poor Cammie - hope she's feeling better soon )... I don't think the BG's should have a choice about it. |
Willi | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 12:13 pm  Come on over to #groupdiscuss Pretty please... |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 12:32 pm  Willi - try #GameDiscuss |
Willi | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 12:34 pm  I'm in GameDiscuss now. Alone. I'm inept fer sure. |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 12:40 pm  Go to the board chat, I will try to help |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 01:21 pm  Well, that was pretty sporting of Spam to do a naked trampoline routine at the hot tub for truth or dare. It didn't have as much flair as I'd hoped for, although a heck of a good start to this game. Good job Spam. |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 01:24 pm  Lance - just about to post the same thing. Pretty cute. |
Maddie | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 01:41 pm  I think an alternate should be sent in since one of the players has resigned. From what I have read, that seems to have been the intention when an alternate was announced in pregame. :o) |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 05:29 pm  Ok, while I may provide my ideas when I think Guru is out of line, I would like to thin I can also give him credit at the positive as well. His comments related to Cammie being sick, the time frames of knowing and getting the alternate issue looked at, and saying he didn't see it as disorganized was very decent of him. I'd also like to note that he was decent to Spam thew ay he addressed her about the issue. |
Tukuul | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 10:57 pm  You know what, Lance. When you said that about "pressing views on people", I have to admit that I've done that and still catch myself from time to time. Posting here during BB was a cheap thrill until I got to know everyone here and now it's not so cheap. I still have views and I will still probably tick someone off at some time but I think Gu will come out of this a little more respectful of others. I wouldn't expect a miraculous change though. Also, do you really think he tore into New without reason or do you think it might be a tactic to scare him out of participating in the game? |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:12 pm  Tukuul, we shall see about Guru on the first point. Since his time here, he has shown little respect for the thoughts of others, or for that matter others. There is currently no reason to show that will change. If it does, I'll be happy to acknowledge that. On your question at the end, of course I can't know for sure. His actions aren't much different than any other time though, so if it's a strategy, it plays well into his normal approach. I don't see New a being someone that will scare in any event--and I think Guru is savvy enough to see that. New comes in a total unknown, applies, posts between application and game to promote himself to complete strangers, then mixes it up from the beginning. The type of person willing to do that in a strange land isn't likely to be the weakest in the pack. Do you think it's a tactic on Guru's part? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:40 pm  Just curious... I was reading the Merlin/Spam exchange and he just posted part ofthe chat to prov a point to Spam... I think it was Az that asked him if he was logging the chats... he said no, I wish I knew how... here is my question... Then how/where did he get it to cut and past it to his post? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:42 pm  Also, Spam and Merlin were discussing about a chat she set up for him and someone else where they were discussing the game ... is this against the rules?... |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:49 pm  And what is Spam talking about when she said she is so mad at Merlin for taking sides? OMG I have to go to bed... my imagination is running wild! |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:55 pm  I have no idea how to "ghost" or even know really what that is. However, you can highlight text from chats and paste it into something like MS Word or this board. I assume that is how Digi and the gang are posting the chats that we can see. I think the conversation Spam and Merlin are having is about something that happened before the game started. Also, it appears as if Spam and Merlin's conversation is fairly personal in nature. If they want to fight it out in the game, that is their prerogative. However, it feels something like a train wreck to me. I don't want to watch, but am oddly compelled to do so (or maybe I am just nosy). |
Leap | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:56 pm  Moon - I think this one should be left alone. I am fairly certain they are talking about something that happened between them and some other people prior to entering the game. |
Tukuul | Wednesday, January 17, 2001 - 11:57 pm  It could be, Lance, but I think he was really upset with New for not dropping the issue about the Challenge questions, especially after they had already won. What was the point? |
