Newamush | Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 02:58 pm  Hey guys! Hope I'm not too late. I have been lurking on this site for a while and decided I might as well give this a shot. 1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Yes 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? Yes 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? Yes 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat Yes 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? Yes 6) What time zone are you in? Eastern 7) Are you Male/Female? M 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yes 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? I would have to say that my best trait is my creativity. I have had the opportunity to be involved in Broadway theatre and have found over the years the I can take any situation and turn it into something special. As for my worst trait, I would have to say that I am not good at dealing with new people. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? I really didn't follow the original Game that much so really don't have a favorite BG. 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. Being a 40 year old gay male in NYC, I think I can definitely put a different spin on all things relating to the game. Living and growing up in the NYC area has definitely given me a think skin and feel I can take any kind of abuse thrown out either from another BG or just a board member. I think I would be able to bring to the game a definitely different point of view. As I stated, being an openly gay male, I have had to grow in very many ways and hopefully would be able to pass along my "survival" skills to others. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? Hopefully, this experience will help me in two ways: 1. Guiltily, I would like to take a shot at Big Brother if they do come around again so I thought this would be a great stepping stone. 2. I tend to be a little shy when it comes to new people and I am hoping this opportunity will help change that. Thanks for reading everyone and I look forward to (hopefully) participate in the next experience. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 04:01 pm  1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) I promise I will not discuss The Game while playing Game II. 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? No. However, it should be known that after the game I will be joining the WWF and appearing on 'Celebrity Smack-down'. 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? I don't quit; however, if presented with new challenges, I may be required to meet them. 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat Yes, I am willing, but am I able. 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? Can't I join it every night? Now, is there a requirement that I say anything, or just log on? 6) What time zone are you in? GMT+5 7) Are you Male/Female? No, just male. 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? No. How can I confirm your selection? Isn't that up to you? 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? My best trait is that I'm not aware of my qualities. My worst is that I exaggerate my faults. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? Andy. Because he didn't wear out his welcome. 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. I'll need at least 2000 more words to explain, does that disqualify me? 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? To start, I will solve the hunger problem, and find a solution to world peace. I will then launch a campaign against "post-it" notes. Here are some questions: What if my copywriters go on strike? I will not participate in anything that reminds me of band camp. Do I have to be me? Please note that this application expires January 5, 2001, at 11:59 pm and does not apply to any game starting after January 6, 2001, at 12:01 am. |

This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Of course I give my word 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? My skin is thicker than blood 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? You couldn't make me quit 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat You'll try to shut me up but won't be able to 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? I'll do my best 6) What time zone are you in? Eastern 7) Are you Male/Female? ::checking:: female 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yuppers 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? Actually I think that they are both the same. I talk way too much. It can be great at times and at others it's just wrong . 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? Andy He was a sweetie 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. Wow so few words. I want to be a part of this great thing. It's a challenge and I am a challenging person. I thrive on challenge. I love to be open and live my life out there. I want to interact with others and make new friends. With me in the game the board would be filled with wit and sarcasm. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? I want to meet new people and make new friends. I would do this even without the prizes. I want to see if I can do this and if I can make it to the end , Here are two places to learn more about me http://hometown.aol.com/divababie/myhomepage/personal.html www.theunrealworld.com |
Lalavoom | Thursday, December 28, 2000 - 08:54 pm  1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Yes/No Yes 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? Yes/No Yes 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? Yes/No Yes 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat Yes/No Yes 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? Yes/No Yes 6) What time zone are you in? (PST) 7) Are you Male/Female? Female 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yes/No Yes 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? I have decided my best trait is my sense of humor. I personally am not going to win any prizes for my comic wit, but I appreciate and admire it in others. I find most things in life ridiculously funny or at least petty and pettiness to me is VERY FUNNY. This is probably why I am such a big Seinfeld fan. As for my worst trait, that is a tough one. I have so many bad traits that it is difficult for me to narrow them down to just one. Since indecision is one of those bad traits you will understand how hard this is for me. Okay, I will make a firm decision just this once. For today my worst trait is also my best trait. My sense of humor. My sense of humor is not always shared by others. Sometimes feelings are hurt and I come across as a heartless, sarcastic wench ( forgive me, I just finished reading one of those stupid historical romance novels and the vocabulary is still whirling around in my head). Could that be yet another bad trait? 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? I am ambivalent, probably because I didn't pay much attention. 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. I would like to play to appease my matriarch and to alleviate my own boredom. I would be beneficial to the game if only to add another voice to the mix. Variety is important for maintaining interest in anything. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? I expect to be entertained. |
Cammie | Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 03:43 pm  1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.)

No, every few nights. 6) What time zone are you in? EST 7) Are you Male/Female? Female 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yes 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? Best - I can get along with most anyone. Worst - I avoid conflict like the plague. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? Roger, cause he wasn’t there just to pick fights. 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. I would like to play because I am tired of lurking. I want to get to know the people on the board. How would the Game benefit from my presence? Once I commit to something, I see it through to the bitter end. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? I expect to have one he11 of a good time! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:42 pm  Oh, I just know I am going to regret this. 1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Yes/No Yes. Nobody knows about my secret TVCH life except the spouse and parole officer. 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? Yes/No Maybe, but if it gets too bad, I can always order a hit. (Just kidding. I'm not allowed to contact those people anymore.) 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? Yes/No Yes. Caveat, however - NetZero is the ONLY ISP I can get to work from my location. If they go under, I am fried. Well, I could go to the library, but couldn't chat. 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat Yes/No Yes. 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? Yes/No Yes, subject to having a working ISP. 6) What time zone are you in? (Whatever) Central 7) Are you Male/Female? M/F See photo. (It is a true photo of Juju taken about five years ago) 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yes/No Sure, if you can find me. I've also got the lock on Juju2bigdog@Hotmail.com 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? Best: Humor Worst: Lie a lot. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? Oh shucks, you got me there. I guess Lance because he was just such an irrepressible bunny-face (take that, Lance, for calling me a "regular.") 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. I think I would like to play the games inside The Game without Wink jumping in and scarfing off all the correct answers before the rest of us even have a chance to think about it. I also need a bigger fan club. Let's see, how would the game benefit? Maybe I can think up some new whacky animal analogies. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? Just fun. And hope not to draw the attention of you know who. Well, better off that you don't.

Maire | Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 06:35 pm  OK, tell me I won't regret this, PLEASE! I think I've finally flipped my lid. Quick, someone talk me out of this!! 1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Yes 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? Absolutely not. 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency? Yes 4) Are you willing to actively participate daily during the GAME: Respond to challenges, posts, and enter chat Yes 5) Will you join CHAT at least every other night? Yes 6) What time zone are you in? Pacific 7) Are you Male/Female? Female 8) If selected to be a potential player, may we call you to confirm? Yes 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? My best trait? I'm still trying to figure that one out. My worst? Fear, and oftentimes my inability to remember things. The fact that it takes me forever to express my feelings/ideas about things, or that I cannot even express them at all. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? I cannot answer that, as I did not follow Game I. 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game by your presence. The number 1 reason I would like to play in the game is I have been suffering from fear and anxiety about certain social situations, and I hope that by applying and playing in the game, I will be facing these fears head-on and putting an end to them. I am also looking forward to getting to know more people and having interaction with them. As far as how I could benefit the Game by my presence is concerned, I think what I believe and what I have to say has value. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? Newly formed friendships, a deeper understanding of myself, and hopefully a conquering of these fears I have. |
Misslibra | Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 06:41 pm  1) Will you give your word on no outside contact with TVFC members or those who read the TVFC board? This includes Mirc, ICQ, IM, and so on, any communication regarding THE GAME. (This only includes discussing the GAME itself. We realize you have friends.) Yes, I guess so 2) Is your skin thick enough to deal with slams within the GAME and on the board outside the GAME, when the GAME is finished? I think so. 3) Do you give your word not to quit the GAME, except in an actual emergency?

I guess so 9) What is your best trait, and your worst? Best - Being my own person, and not being in any clique. Worst - Being to sensitive. 10) Who was your favorite BG and why? Moon, I like her spirit, she has a good aura about her. She acts real, and not fake. BTW I think she should have won, if other factors hadn't come into play, but I wont even go there ! 11) Explain in 100 words or less why you'd like to play the Game, and how you would benefit the Game with your presence. Well just like someone once said if you don't stir the pot it tends to stick ... I can believe I just repeat Guru words ... LOL Forget I said that, I actually don't know how I would benefit the Game. But I would hope I could add something, that the TVCH will remember for years to come. Something that when Neil, and Lisa grow old and in their retirement years, and their sitting in their rocking chairs, they will look back and say honey you remember Game II, and Lisa will say yes honey now that was a great Game, one of the best that misslibra, AZ, elitist, Guru ... opps I got carried away, went over 100 words. I'll stop now. I'm sure I'll be disqualified for this. 12) What do you expect to get out of the game, prizes aside? I don't know maybe I'll learn some new words, make some new close friends. I'm expecting to become famous, get a agent, go to Hollywood, and become a Star of course ! Ok all kidding aside, I'm expecting to get a stomach ache from laughing so hard because I'm sure it will be a lot of fun ... at least I'm hoping it will be, if everyone will bring their sense of humor with them.  |

Spamgirl | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 05:54 pm  Toronto is EST, you moron Hi nelson Nelson is my friend, so be nice to him! ROFL He was a lurker in Game I... he usually says more than the little he said above, but he's a busy guy hehe Yay Nellie! |
Spamgirl | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 08:20 pm  Nellie - post your webcam pic! |
Merlin | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 09:25 am  Digilady, Since you have more than enough male applicants for game 2, I am going to withdraw my application for the game. I have had a client request me to take on some additional work that I just cant refuse (Cost plus contract, I'm sure you can understand the appeal of those kind of offers). I may also mention that I was getting a little worried about all the puzzles and challenges. I suspect people would may have confused me with Rudy from Survivor I, as I probably would have had to use his answer too much, "I dunno". And then I began to wonder if Juju2bigdog is in reality Richard from Survivor I. I had this frightening dream that juju would take off his mask and we would find Richard. The idea of juju taking off his pants next was the frightening part. |
Digilady | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 09:32 am  Sorry, Merlin! Perhaps next time. I totally understand about clients and work. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 10:43 am  Oh noooooooo, Merlin, say it ain't so. What if they make Juju play on the girls team? come back, Merlin. Juju2saddog  |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 12:09 pm  A question, sorry, I haven't been paying attention to the Game stuff......is Game II going to run at the same time as The Mole and Survivor II? If so this will be a very busy board. |
Maire | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 01:07 pm  Hi all. I'm posting from the local library here. I need to announce that due to an unforseen personal matter, I am withdrawing my application for Game II. I hope those of you who will be playing have a great, enriching and memorable time! Maire |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 01:10 pm  Sure, you HAD lots of signups... now they're all quitting! |
Spamgirl | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 01:16 pm  So now ALL the men who applied (Guruchaz, Elitist, Ocean Islands, newamush, machinehead) will get in the game. There are still 3 too many women, so I guess we'll still need a vote on that. |
Ocean_Islands | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 01:52 pm  My application expired. Without a timetable, it's hard to commit (and without the game started it's hard to stay committed). I'll consider re-applying. |
Newamush | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 01:59 pm  I agree. It's hard to make a commitment when we don't have a timeframe. I travel for business and have a window for the next month or so. There seems to be enough people to begin, so let's see if we can take this to the next step. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 02:12 pm  Three very discouraging turns of events. spam, don't know if you were implying that it seems sort of unfair that all the men who applied get in. I don't care for the idea. Of course, I've always been opposed to gender quotas. LOL.
 |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 02:16 pm  And did anybody else notice that all posts to this thread between Jan. 2 and 8 have disappeared? |
Cammie | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 02:22 pm  Do not even get me started on gender.
 |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 02:33 pm  Oh, go ahead and start, Cammie. I'll still vote for you. |
Cammie | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 02:37 pm  My evidence has been submitted and that's all I'm at liberty to say. |
