During the chat sessions, the outside viewers should not keep changing their nicknames. It is very disruptive and takes away from the BG's limited chat time. Also, the outside viewers should not be communicating with the game players during the chat sessions with clever little comments disguised as nicknames.

Well here is a different point of view. Yes, changing the nicks can be a <sly> method of participating. Mostly it is lighthearted and a very fun way to let the players and other viewers know we are consciously present <as opposed to logged on and then in the basement putting Christmas ornaments away>. I would like the question put the the players in the game to determine whether they find it adds an extra fun dimenion for them or not. From their responses to us in chat it would seem that they LOL at us and enjoy the switches. Bear and Maddie, I have not seen you logged on during the chat times so are you responding to reading the logs? Valid, but different from experiencing the real-time exchanges. We have really been having a lot of fun in the chats ~~ the more the merrier!

I have been in chat 5 times since the game started. I don't keep changing my name every 5 seconds, preferring to stay in the background to let the BG's interact with each other. That is why I am not noticed. I was at yesterday's afternoon chat, but decided not join the evening chat, because the nickname changes are driving me crazy.

This issue is being talked about in another thread as well. Between the two, it sounds like more folks would rather reduce the amount of name changing going on. I find the name changing funny and harmless. However, I do agree that it becomes confusing at times.

I am not alarmed by the amount of outside information they are getting. It doesn't seem to be that much. I would like it better if they players did not have the ability to make as many decisions regarding what happens to them. I say they should suck it up and deal. If they want to quit, let them.

I must say I am enjoying this game. It could be the players are more familiar now. Anyway, my suggestion is to check out Leap's ethical questions in the other thread for them to ponder.. great topics.

Soeur, yes I read the chat logs. Good job too! Perhaps in real time, watching the exchange involving name changes seems more fun but it also disrupts the flow of conversation and makes it harder to follow while reading it later as well.

Leap, I don't think the name changes give them a lot of outside information either, just a little. I agree with you about them having too much input on decisions. That also involves too much interaction with the "outside".

It isn't really even the information so much as the outside contact that seems to taking away from the sense of seclusion I thought they would experience. I think if they focused on each other they would get more into the actual game. :o)

Maddie, I agree that the name changes don't really give them a lot of info on the outside. I mainly see it as pertaining to what is being said during chat. It does bring an element of fun, but yes, it does take away from the sense of seclusion. I really think it should stop though, no matter how fun it is. That's just my thought, I'm not putting anybody down for doing it.

Well, why do they want a peanut gallery then? That would take away from any illusion of seclusion. Chat should be 'invite only' then and the hostess should log it but that would be quite similar to an active thread. Maybe they should have a private group chat were we read the logs later but can't be there in real time?

I have enjoyed some of the recent discussions between some of the BGs. last night late, the thread Elitist started about his dad, and even the meeting he held.

While he got a little flack from the meeting, he presented his reasoning for wanting to push forward and get more information out about everyone, and the others also ended up sharing why they did or didn't. Educational all around.

I hope that all of them leave feeling it was positive, without regard to what they got out of it or wanted to get out of it. Would be a shame to give that much effort to such a game and not walk away feeling something good came out of it for yourself.

Note that they have talked less about Game I of recent and felt they should be doing their own thing. (I think they felt that before, although still referenced Game I at times)

Make two team of five and give them a challenge. The best team wins a prize. Or this would work if you paired them up and made them work one on one together on something. Don't ask what, I haven't thought that far ahead. I just like the idea of making them work with someone that you know they wouldn't want to work with.

Good suggestion Kady... how about if we pair them up but with the ones they are not getting along with and give them a challenge in oneonone chat... two at a time, Hostess would give them a puzzle (each couple get the same one) and what ever couple solves it the fastest wins.... I hope that made sence

Pairing them up in a chat would be great. Then we could watch the fireworks live. Great idea about giving them the same puzzle. I think this would be fun!!!!

Suggestion--- Post a topic. Then give them a different identity. They must post to that topic as that person. Sorta like they did on BB. I still chuckle everytime I think of Josh being Casandra. Where is everyone?? Please come out and post so I won't keep putting my stupid ideas on here. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
