Yep, Juju.
I did leave a little earlier last night. I hated to leave, but I had to be prepared for today.

Good Morning everybody.

Merlin - it looks like you might be able to make it during the day all week considering how it is raining.

And where is that secret room you and Juju have started?

Morning all.

Everyone have a good evening???

Did you all have a chance to discuss how we are going to handle future challanges? We definitely need to so it will run more smoothly in future.

Newa I think the consensus of those in chat was that if the challenge was there, whoever was available would work on it. Hostess has agreed to mix up the release of the challenges such that sometimes they will come out in the day, some at night, so that everyone will get a chance to contribute.

We also decided Guru couldn't ask any questions or give any answers - no just kidding Gu.

Anybody have something to add to this?

That's a great start, but I would like to suggest we come up with a system for choosing questions. Maybe we can come up with a number of BG's that need to agree before a question can be posted. Set up times that our votes for questions need to be in. Maybe set up a separate thread to post question we would like to ask for voting purposes. Assign one person per challenge to be responsible for checking the votes and then posting to the Questions board. I just feel we need to make more of these decisions as a group, not with only two or three of us. Nobody is going to get anything out of this unless we work together on these challenges.

Please, we need everyone's input on this. For some reason this has become a personal crusade for me. (I don't like to see Spam so upset )

I'm on a roll here, somebody stop me. This is almost as long as my last Red Room discussion (Oops!)

It looks like we did just fine, even with my sarcastic question (Question 2, I might add) and it was posted for a reason. People whould rather talk about the question they were going to post for the last hour than to go post it.

SNAFU


We won in 7 out of 15 questions so what is everyone stressed about?

I didn't start this conversation to bring that up again, Guru. Just think we need a little more structure for our challenges. As far as I'm concerned (and it seems most people agree), the first challenge is over, let's start fresh.

If no one is interested in coming together as a group on these, fine by me. I'll just wait.

We have been a group. The group was together many times discussing the questions to be posted and everyone just waited around for whatever reason. I'm just talking in general and nothing directed at you, personally.

If we're waiting for everyone to get here at once to vote on something like that, we'll be waiting forever. Just designate E to post the answers and one person as backup when he isn't here. I would do it but people are afraid to ask me anything in here. I know I've been a prod in people's butt, but sometimes it's necessary.

Actually, I've had a blast and can't figure out why more people claim I might be bored. Bzzzzt! That's wrong.

Elitist,
I was left with the same impression as you, only thing I might suggest to the Hostess is to announce when the daily puzzle was going to be released. This would give everyone the choice to be here or not.

Newamush,
It appeared to me that the majority did choose the questions yesterday. Guru posted one without a vote from the others, but I expect it was his humor that did it to him. Why don't you ask him?

How will you set up times to vote on the questions when you don't know just when the puzzle will be released? Things move too fast in the game to do that, in my opinion.

A puzzle gets released,

release times will vary in order to include everyone as a participant,

the majority of players working the puzzle will decide which questions get asked,

the majority of players working the puzzle decide who posts the questions and how many questions,

the majority of players working the puzzle decide whether to post an answer to the puzzle.

I agree with Gu. The only problem with our group is that we hadn't agreed beforehand that if a challenge came out whoever was on the board would try to solve it with the blessing of those not here. If we waited for everyone to weigh in, we would not get anything done.

We had hard enough problem posting questions the way we did it! We probably could have solved the puzzle in half the time if we would have posted some of the questions we had come up with early on.

Please don't designate me to post the questions/answers though. I think someone should take that responsibility for each challenge as it comes up, and should pass the responsibility if they have to leave.

And Gu - I would ask you!

So does anybody realize that the first set of nominations are tomorrow?

Now how does it work again?

Newamush

Tuesday, January 16, 2001 - 12:58 pm Click here to edit this post

I'm not sure what the procedure is yet, Elite. I'm sure it would be either via e-mail or a posting.

I thought I would have a difficult time deciding, but it really didn't. This is probably when the Game starts changing, as people start going.

New, when are you going to answer my questions in the lifestyles thread? Or were they too politically incorrect?

Sorry, Elite... I keep getting sidetracked. I promise to get to those answer soon.

Hi all. I wasn't expecting to get the nomination email until tomorrow. I still have people to assess.

Also, just because you are nominated doesn't mean the outside people want you out either. Some individuals get all uptight without realizing that.

TENNIS BALL ALERT

whoever it is that plays tennis sucks.

I just found a tennis ball that said

when we nominate, we can nominate whoever we like or dislike. It can be two of the same sex, it doesnt have to be one male and one female.
