Azriel; Cool, Calm, Collected (well, most of the time)
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 11:37 pm  Azriel has been playing a good game! She has interacted well with all BGs, although the one BG that seems to provide for the best conversation for Az is Merlin. Their talks seem to be full of respect, of an equal basis for each to give and each to receive information. Az has been there for Spam during her frustrating times, and has been a good match for Guru's humor. I expect Az will do quite well in this game, and if you have any thoughts about her, please feel free to add them to this thread. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 04:35 am  I agree she does seem to know how to handle people..but then she has lots of practice (being a mother helps). She is a sweetheart. |
Bamagirl | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 05:30 am  She is doing a wonderful job!!! Yes, the chats she has with Merlin are great...I think she will go a long way in the game too. |
Kady99 | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 03:01 pm  Of course she's cool, calm and collected, I taught her everything she knows.(LOL) Seriously though, I have known "Az" for 13 years so I know alot about her. I can also add loyal, honest, and decent to the list of her traits. I hope she goes all the way in the game. I am very proud to call her my friend. Now as her Mom used to tell her and her 5 brothers and sisters-- "She better not embarrass me." |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 10:17 pm  Too bad about Az having troubles getting into chat for banishment. It's one of those things you just crave being there for! Kady you guys should get a prize for not talking about the game for the whole time. That is so cool to have that kind of integrity. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 11:40 pm  From a post I made on the Merlin thread, I pose this to the Az fans (yes, I like Az too) Ok, all of the Az fans. It seems Merlin and Az are making a really good connection. For your consideration to toss about---do you think this is a good thing, a bad thing, or a little of both, as far as the game goes?? My opinion?? later on that! |
Norwican | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 08:37 am  Azriel is doing great! Comes across as being totally "real". I don't really have an opinion on Merlin yet - so can't answer the question you posed Lance. |
Wink | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 10:15 am  Someone commented on another thread how the Az and Merlin conversations seem so natural. I find that as well. It's almost like they've forgotten anyone is watching and are having a truly genuine interraction without worrying about how something they say will be interpreted. No posing from either of them when they're conversing. So refreshing and I can't see how it could be a negative as far as the game or voting goes. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 10:40 am  Wink, you bring up a point I hoped would be stated. I posted in the other thread about some ideas I had though of that could be affected--by themselves and others. So, the two seem to be in conflict--at least potentially. This is the point of the topic I was hoping a few of us would end up talking about. What is seems should happen, and would the possibilities are. Sometimes they aren't the same. See my other post in Merlin's thread for examples of affect. And voting--that topic is in another thread. I remember Guru voting (in game I) based on different criteria than, say you would use. And reasons for voting on the inside especially, can change quickly (they pissed me off, they don't interact, they don't say anything deep, etc). To shake up the mix, the low voting turn out here in this side is a huge factor. Close voting looks to be the norm. With 30 voters, a difference of 1 vote is just over 1.5% difference (as Digi reports in percentage). This is a case where each of our votes count big time. They have this figured out too, based on a couple of posts in the house. A guess--I expect this to weigh heavy on the minds of some, yet not all. Elitist and his concern of the swaying of votes may be talked about a little. Someone changing their ideas about how to vote or who to vote for will made a difference with only 30 votes. I will ask Digi if there were 30 votes, or 30 voters--unless someone remembers specifically if that was made clear. |
Wink | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 11:26 am  Lance I said this in Merlin thread and I'll say it here, I don't think either will be banished until they are the only two to choose from. |
Bamagirl | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 12:06 pm  Kady..."She better not embarrass me." I do not see her doing that :o)...All the things you said about her...I am see coming out...what a sweetheart!!! |
Kady99 | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 01:51 pm  I do think "Az" and Merlin will become close friends. This is kinda fun watching it develop. Merlin was so close to being voted out, I do hope he stays so we can watch this. It is truly nice to see two people have a natural conversation. |
Bamagirl | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 03:10 pm  I agree 100% Kady :o) |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, January 27, 2001 - 02:08 am  New issues after the "debate" (a.k.a, fight). Hoping Az and Merlin take a moment to work it out. Too much positive there to let it slip away, IMHO. |
Bamagirl | Saturday, January 27, 2001 - 07:11 am  I think so too Lance... to be honest I was really taken back by her actions!!! She made remarks how she was hurt...well I believe Merlin was hurt as well. I think at times some (not all) women forget that men have feelings too!!! I do hope they are able to have a one on one chat soon. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, January 27, 2001 - 12:57 pm  Bamagirl, I agree that it seems Merlin was hurting as well. One of the disadvantages of a game like this is the time constraint compared to real life. Some take longer than others to forgive, so take longer than others to apologize, and some take longer than others to be at a point where they are willing to discuss tings. I give credit to Az (not I give credit speaking for the board--only for me) that she took the time to search for the "why's" of tings, and that she found an answer and said it. In doing so, she finds that she had made an error, and said so to Merlin. I hope he can realize that just because she said that she expected him to live up to her expectations, it doesn't mean that she can't attempt to be more fair in that effort for future situations. I hope he doesn't think all is lost in that respect. A smaller time window seems to magnify the affects of these differences, IMHO. |
Bamagirl | Saturday, January 27, 2001 - 01:35 pm  OH I agree Lance...and yes time will tell.. again I really hope they can have a one on one soon. I really do believe they can have a wonderful friendship once the game is over!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 05:37 pm  The following is my opinion based on recent posts in the game. Az is going through losing someone she had a connection to in the house. I think she connects wit just about anyone to some degree, and given time will probably become some level of "friends" with all of them. She's getting into the emotion/feeling side of the game although doesn't want to be voted out either. I think it will get tough for her at banishment times, because of her not wanting to lose contact with anyone. It feels like it's a long time before you see them again. I think she will enjoy her reunion with each of them. Az, I'm enjoying the way you are just being you! |
Tukuul | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 11:24 pm  I am very concerned about Azriel. Have any of you seen the chat tonight in the Hot Tub? As sweet as Azriel is, she has a serious problem with emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat. Their conversation goes along smoothly and then she starts wondering if she's ruining the atmosphere and gets all upset. When she does that, she really does ruin the atmosphere. I'm not sure what's going on but she has some serious issues if nobody can talk to her at a one on one level for more than 5 or 10 minutes before she breaks down. She seems to need 24 / 7 emotional maintenance. Does anyone see this or have any comments? |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 11:31 pm  Tuk, been working on something else--will go check it out and get back here later. Trying to finish something I told a few people I'd get done. |
Tukuul | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 11:46 pm  Ok, I just went back over and I guess AZ took a while to type the rest of her story out. It's hard tell what she is doing when there is silence because one moment she's fine and the next moment you don't know what's going on with her emotionally. Silence can go two ways with her. I hope it's just a phase in the game. She really is nice and gets along with everyone. |
Maire | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:54 am  Tuk, I read over there in that thread, and it appears she had to reboot too. As far as her quietness at times, I think that it could be she takes her time before speaking -- something that some people don't do. And, it can, like you said keep a person wondering. Plus, you almost have to figure a woman is generally more emotional than a man -- just stating a fact of nature. I just can't imagine the emotions that go on in there. I suppose I could have if I didn't have to withdraw my application. She is doing really great in there, and hope she can stay to at least one of the last 3. Anyway, those are just my thoughts. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:54 am  Tuk, I just read it--seems like a simple case of miscommunication to me. I don't get that she's feeling that emotional about it, she just used the sad face to indicate disappointment of how it all worked. I see that at the end she jokes about having two men in the hot tub at once. I just think they weren't expecting that time lag to be a post, and she was expecting them to be there. Let's see if they have a good laugh about it tomorrow. |
Bamagirl | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 07:52 am  She states once her provider dropped her..then as she says she should not take so much time to post..plus proof reading... She realizes she had two men in a hot tub and due to her taking so long she lost them. LOL That is what I see Tuk... |
Tukuul | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 02:15 pm  Yeah, I was following th econversation as it was happening and it all just stopped. The last thing AZ posted sounded like she was upset again and then it was like 15 or 20 minutes after that when she made the next post. I guess a lot can happen in 15 or 20 min. LOL! |
Bamagirl | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 02:17 pm  ROTFL I guess so Tuk |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 02:27 pm  I wonder if this is "chat syndrome". They are so used to talking in chat that they don't realize long posts can take awhile, especially if server goes down in the middle. haha |
Tukuul | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 04:48 pm  Well, actually, she had already rebooted before she made her previous statement. She just left that bad thought hanging in the air for 15 min and everyone thought she went to bed. Oh well... |
Tukuul | Wednesday, February 14, 2001 - 06:13 am  AZ, I don't think any of us were ourselves that day. This was certainly a miscommunication if I ever saw one. Congrats on being #1 !!!  |
