Juju2bigdog | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:34 am  Okay, one more post. I did not answer elitist's suggestion. the way I see it, Guru is one of our puzzles. The rest of us have to figure out how to keep him from getting booted off the board before the first vote. we could make a war room, and that is not a bad idea. the rest of us could spank him when he teeters toward the line. we could ignore him when he's bad, and that would probably kill him. Or maybe he will surprise us and behave. You never know. war room is fine with me. |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:37 am  War room seems a fine idea to me. But how far do we let it go before suggesting it be taken there? And how should that decision be made? |
Spamgirl | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:49 am  I think it's the difference between constructive criticism and name calling flaming. If the people involved don't go on their own, I think we should have a vote on it (if it gets that bad)... |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:51 am  That's an idea. I would think we all have enough sense to realize when a conversation starts to get personal between a couple of people and doesn't have a direct effect on the what is being discussed. So, we start off with the honor system? |
Spamgirl | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:53 am  I think the honor system is best... hopefully we won't even GET to that point! |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:56 am  I think this subject only came up because of the conversation held last night. I hope we all come into this with no "monkey's on our back." We all come in with no preconceived ideas of each other. Everyone agree???? |
Guruchaz | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 11:03 am  Actually, I want to see Juju win a toaster so he/she doesn't have to sit on his/her hands anymore. For someone who was scared to post on the messageboard, Juju has really come a long way. It's amazing actually. I'm not the puzzle you all should be worried about. Thanks for the thought though.  |
Guruchaz | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 11:04 am  Monkeys make the zoo more fun. |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 11:38 am  Gotta run guys....see ya all tonight. |
Guruchaz | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 01:54 pm  Uh huh huh huh |
Spamgirl | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 01:55 pm  Cute |
Misslibra | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:41 pm  War room has a negative vibe to it. Make love not war. Elitist how about a Love Room. I vote no on the War Room. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:42 pm  Guru what the hell was that fit of histrionics you pulled yesterday, anyway? |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:45 pm  I think that exchange last night was started on another thread and got carried over. I had a hard time following. As to the room name, how about something along the lines of "Personal Discussion Room." Seems more universail. Covers all types of discussions between BG's. Just my two cents. |
Azriel | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:46 pm  Good grief, it took me 20 minutes to read what you all posted while I was gone. I want to make a suggestion. Let's not go hog wild building rooms willy nilly all over the place. Do you remember how irritating it was on the outside in the last game to have to shift through all the rooms? |
Azriel | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:48 pm  I can't believe I used the words willy nilly in a sentence.  |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:50 pm  I thought we were going to do without it completely but what do I know. (nothing) |
Misslibra | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:55 pm  I agree AZ, we don't need any more rooms. |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 02:59 pm  Since there seems to be a division on this, why don't we just agree that if the need arises, we can create that type of room. Possibly around the first nomination time, we might need that type of room if tempers start flaring. We can readdress at that time. |
Merlin | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 03:05 pm  More rooms, means more doors to open. In the heat of a *personal discussion*, I dont see many people leaving to go to another room/thread. You can build it, but I dont think it will be used when a war/personal discussion gets started. If everyone is committed to taking it to a battle room, I will support the idea. Can we make it sound proof? |
Spamgirl | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 03:07 pm  I think Dig could enforce this - she could delete the posts until the people move... |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 03:17 pm  Newamush you're among mavericks, I'm afraid! Not too many group decisions going to be going on. What do you think of this anyway. You're brave to have applied (Not having seen game I). Come to think of it I'm brave to have applied, have seen Game I! My understanding was that there was no moderating the Game, only outside. |
Azriel | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 03:25 pm  If two people are having a heated discussion, who decides that they need to go to the war room? Maybe you think it's out of hand, but I don't. Are we going to sit around and argue about whether it's out of hand and then have to send ourselves to the war room because we are fighting over whether it's war room worthy or not? |
Newamush | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 03:27 pm  Honestly, I'm just rolling around. Not much direction. I think once thing get going, I'll get a little more involved. I really don't have much of a clue yet as to what we're all about. I'm just assuming that it's just too early and everything is still being put together. And Oceans, I hope we can all come together and make group decisions. From what I can tell, we going to need to. I guess that is one of the points of the Game. Can 10 people from different areas and with different belief come together as a group. Time will tell. Right now I'm trying to set up mIRC. Oh God..... |
Azriel | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 04:58 pm  Geesh, how long does it take everyone to set up mIRC? ~twiddle~ |
