I'm surprised that I'm still watching the bullcrap in that chat. How bloody long does it take to come up with 2 simple questions. For crying out loud.

I agree. That's Newamush's management style in action. I hope he gets nominated. He's a waste of time.

Well he isn't alone in there Tuk. If everyone would FOCUS on the task at hand.....

I like New so far. However, he is trying to be too diplomatic as far as these questions go. Please stop the madness.

I now officially rescind my comment in this thread of 2:58 pm today.

Wink, please elaborate. You don't think he is PC or you don't think he will be a formidable player?

He's a waste of time and a complainer according to the RR and his posts.

His formidability is slipping away fast IMHO.

I agree that he is a bit of a complainer (especially after reading his RR post). However, he is new to all this and I am trying to give him a break.

When it comes to insults and come backs, he is not even in Gu's league. However, I think Gu was rude to him tonight in chat.

You're right Leap. Just read the last posted chat and Gu was way over the top and totally childish. My frustration came with the constant back and forth about those two stupid questions. I'm also frustrated at the lack of posting being done inside and out. Of course it's only been 3 days and maybe I'm just expecting too much too soon, but there's just nothing to read right now the way there was in Game I where the posts were well thought out and I thought insightful. I guess I'm just thrown by the "yapping" in the chat. Must be a full moon cause I'm never this verbose.

Maybe we can let Digi know what is working and what is not and what can be improved.

Also, it's obvious to me out here that Gu has a valid issue with New. He will definitely run it into the ground and then tomorrow may be a different story but New was pretty hard on Gu based on something so insignificant. It's like he was poking around for a reason to get Gu out (possibly after trying to solve his puzzle). I took that as a joke against Spam. She didn't seem to have a problem with it. New overblew the issue and he's been proven to waste time today. 2 hours to decide on 2 questions? oh boy

The chat should be fun to read though.

I agree. just could not believe how long it took to make a decision. I believe that New should have just put his foot down and picked two questions after the group threw out some suggestions.

In terms of the board and the game - I am not sure that there is anything that can be done to make it better. This is a different game from the first one. The first one got to be too much for me and I stopped reading. I am finding this one more enjoyable because I can follow what is going on. (However, starting next week there is a local puzzle contest that I will be involved with and will have a hard time following both groups.)

I also can say that I enjoy thoughtful interesting posts or chats on controversial topics. I rarely enjoy ongoing silly bantering about fruit and fish. I find theses discussions funny to start with and then feel like they are beat into the ground. So, sometimes I choose not to read or to just skim those sections of the game.

Also, I realize I don't post very often. But, with little posting happening outside, I thought I would try to get some conversation going.

I have been around, mostly lurking, since the BB days. The Mole and Temptation Island have brought me back and I am trying to get into this new Game II. Sure is a lot to catch up on.

I have to agree with Wink... they took far too long to come to an agreement. I notice this morning that Newamush has realized this himself.

This site is so awesome!! :o)

Leap you are too funny!
I am with you. I don't enjoy the "silly bantering about fruit and fish" either.
It bothers me.

OMG.

I needed some Excedrin after reading through the Chat transcripts for "making a decision."

Maddie, good to see you back and out of lurker mode.

I think New was screwed either way. He tried to take into account what others wanted and not make a choice too fast (so of course it took too long).

If he'd just decided on something, someone would nail him for not being considerate and taking other's ideas into account.

Kind of like guru said at the end of game I--you can't post the right amount of posts--you will either post too many, or not enough.

If our biggest whine about the game is someone taking too long to decide on a reward, they must be doing pretty good!

I'm surprised that Spam would think getting a name wrong is proof of lack of organization.

Proof a mistake was made--yes. Proof Digi can't organize the game?? Geez, Spam, take your anger out on the issue that got you riled up, not on the game organization.

For the record...I like Newamush.

I'm surprised that Spam is having an issue with the alternate going in when it says in the rules that if someone resigns the alternate goes in.

Hey, so what if the hostess wanted to know what they thought of that?? She doesn't have a clue what the watchers wanted, demanded, or said. Nice assumption Spam.

Nice response from her to Ocean too.

What response was that Lance?

Ocean_Islands: The rules of the game stipulate that players leaving will be replaced with an alternate.

Nobody knew Cammie was ill though until last night and nominations were already here. That's not disorganized. I think the word "disorganized" is being misused here and used too strongly for someone who has taken the time to put all this together.
I think Ocean and Guru did an excellent job of understanding the difficulty of the situation arising out of having a player quit after noms were in. :o)
