Archive through December 11, 2000
Digilady | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 12:15 pm  Here ya go! There have been many things discussed in Chat. That ain't gonna help us figure this out. LOL! Limited Discussion Topics? Lisa's killer puzzles, for sure Spammie riddles to drive them nuts? New rules? (Remember - you hark up a rule, you have to figger out how it can be enforced! muahahahahah) How many/which rooms? Perhaps an unexpected visitor every now and then? (I have a few REALLY COOL ones in mind, and am contacting agents)? Different time frames for nominations/banishment? (we thought, two weeks/10 days before 1st noms. This way we get to know them, and they get to know each other, better.) Quicker? Nom 1 person each, they do. Banishment 3 days later. (3 days for voting, and by gawwd, voting process will be different) Voting process itself? Anyone have a better mousetrap? (other than me writing something, which I can and will do, if necessary) Think to have the right to vote, you must be a member in good standing of the TVCH =the day the game begins=? ============================== Prizes still stand, offered by http:\www.techni-lingual.com (TLP) =============================== SAME CD-Burner in 1st place, which we will purchase from the kind previous donors (or a better one) Color printer in 2nd place (TBD) His and hers TVCH tee-shirts with the NEW Logo in sizes of your choice in 3rd =============================== |
Spamgirl | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:11 pm  limited discussion topics in a discussion area is good... like, they have a message board where they attack the issues... but let them have their little chatty fun elsewhere too... rooms - maybe 3... internet camera, living room, and the naughty room or something... other than that, i can't think of any necessary rooms... DEFINATELY make it longer to first banishment than to the others... I think you should have to sign up specially to vote before the first day (have, like, a week dedicated to signups) and it has to be by email, and you have to have a valid user name on here (which has been used in the last 7 days and is at least 30 days old)... to be fair 3 days for voting sounds good to me... or even nom on wed night, banish on friday night... Voting - the only way to do it securly is to have it password protected (even a lame .htaccess way would be fine) and then have the votes tab'd in a database... have the passwords be mailed out on the first day of the contest... and make it so that people can only write to the database once (one vote...) |
Dilligaf | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:15 pm  5 MEN....5 WOMEN and you must submit a REAL picture!! |
Dilligaf | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:16 pm  Ok, I'm not bitter..... |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:30 pm  You must not be a bot and you must submit 3 forms of identification and be committed to the full duration of the game while realizing that you may risk being personally torn apart by the viewing public. Or not. huh huh  |
Shmoopie | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:46 pm  They all sound like decent ideas to me... Any word on whether or not this will happen or not?? |
Digilady | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 01:54 pm  Waiting on go-ahead and discussion with Enb and Enbwife, and for my evil twin to return (NikkiD). Meanwhile, it IS gonna happen. Just a question of when! Be nice to start taking apps next week, wouldn't it? |
Nikkid | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 03:02 pm  TIME ZONES!! We don't want anyone to bomb because they cannot interact. Lurkin' |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 03:08 pm  <Juju2bigdog hops off bus in Abilene, TX, shrieks:> Gender tests? <Hops back on bus like a screaming prairie dog> |
Digilady | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 03:25 pm  GOOD Nik, was waiting for you to show! ROFLMAOWMP JuJu! Phone interviews for final 20. <snark> |
Enbwife | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 06:01 pm  Digi - let's discuss this in chat? You around??? If so, meet me in Members Chat now... |
Digilady | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 08:33 pm  Lisa: Houseguests through Sat!!! It will be difficult for me, but I'll email Neil when I can get there. Can't WAIT!! |
Enbwife | Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 09:05 pm  Neil's not very interested in another game. E-mail me (lisa@enbcom.com) Have fun with your guests  |
Digilady | Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 12:20 am  I think he may misunderstand where we're coming from! Email en route. |
Enbwife | Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 07:06 pm  Digi and I are still to hook up but continue to post suggestions here if you have any. |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 09:22 pm  There could be three basic standards for a great game. And those might be: #1. Simplicity. #2. Simplicity. #3. Simplicity. |
Digilady | Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 09:43 pm  Oc, that is precisely what I was thinking. 3 rooms and two live chats, maybe. 1 live chat for ALL BGs to attend. And 1 for 2 people only (muahahahhahah)! Still give them topics, banners? OH and a few surprise drop-in guests (for an hour each). No, I ain't saying who those might be. |
Spamgirl | Friday, November 24, 2000 - 08:14 am  banners for sure... those were fun but vote on which banner goes, not an admin decision and topics - maybe one a week? i prefer challenges to topics, but they really get the person's opinions out, which is important... maybe a debate instead? |
Digilady | Friday, November 24, 2000 - 11:07 am  Debate! Now there's a good one. Banner voting too, perhaps. Keep them coming! |
Katie | Friday, November 24, 2000 - 11:52 am  I like the debate idea a lot and I like regular chats for the guests with only the guest chatting and everyone listening. I think an hour a day at a certain time for them would be great with changing the hour for each day. For example on Monday it could be from 6 to 7 PM, Tuesday from 9 to 10, Wednesday from 2 to 3 and so on. That way it would make it possible for everyone to make some of them. |
Enbwife | Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 07:30 am  I think if we generally set up times for chats, etc. between the hours of 6:00 - 9:00pst (9-12:00est) each night, everyone can participate from all timezones...A lot of us work during the day so we can't participate as much during those hours, and if the times are set for 9:00 pst or later, that's midnight est and us easterners are in bed. Just a suggestion... |
Enbwife | Wednesday, November 29, 2000 - 04:29 pm  Update for those interested - I believe it has been decided to advertise the Game and finalize the application process over the next couple of weeks. Game II will begin in the new year right after the holidays, and will end in time for Survivor... 10 people for 3 weeks was decided. To help Digilady out, keep posting any useful suggestions here, so she can continue to compile ideas. |
Misslibra | Wednesday, November 29, 2000 - 04:57 pm  Thanks for the update. |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, December 03, 2000 - 05:13 pm  Why don't we give this game show an all-female cast? Since the women seemed to be getting voted out of the Game and Big Brother first, and never win (unless disguised as men), make all the players women. I nominate all the chat b!tches, with the exception of Digi who has to run the whole thing. |
Nikkid | Sunday, December 03, 2000 - 05:41 pm  LOL Big O - you just wanna see us naked playing truth or dare! hahaha j/k |
Digilady | Sunday, December 03, 2000 - 11:09 pm  ROLMAOWMP OI vey! I sure hope =you= put in an app. |
Digilady | Monday, December 11, 2000 - 09:37 am  Here's the latest one: an entirely new Challenge. An on-line, 1 hour chat. A murder mystery. The BGs are provided with a scenario - a few paragraphs describing a murder. Also the people around, the scene, and so on. The BGs will be in two teams, each with a Moderator. They can ask 20 questions each. There will be three clues given: these will consist of links to pics, perhaps music, who knows? Another cool possibility is the GAME II watchers also breaking into teams and discussing on the outside, should they so desire, while watching the BGs struggle though. I admit, I ran one of these for a year on a prior BB and MAN was it popular. We couldn't come up with mysteries fast enough for those folks! LOL And the infamous "Joke-off" challenge. Each new joke should take its subject from the prior joke. Last man joking off wins! <snark> This one will run over a few days. I also have a few (lots) of "What would you do if..." subjects. THOSE should be a blast. Not to mention the deadly but popular Riddler challenge, which will run for a few days several different times. And the famous Lisa mind-benders! A few decisions: Players play under own names Watching area is moderated this time. So no, players won't be subjected to the silly boolsheet they had last time. This one, thanks to a bunch of ideas coming our way, is really shaping up! |
Misslibra | Monday, December 11, 2000 - 04:05 pm  Digi, that sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun !  |
