I think Elitists' last RR was very interesting. By nature it seems Elit is very competitive and passionate about everything he does. He also seems dismayed by the lack of more serious interaction in the game . I think we also enjoy that but I also enjoy the lighthearted parts and would like to see him take part or try to enjoy them more. I also think his "groupings" were more to encourage debate than a dig at any specific BGs or posters.

I'm still up in the air about him cause his attitude toward Moondance has bothered me in the past but I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt . Jury still in recess.

Wink, I agree with you take on some of his traits. I have been thinking all along that I relate to him well because of those. I am not too much into groupings, and don't (didn't) worry about what others thought on the outside.

Because of that I'm probably more comfortable as far as where he is coming from pushing to get the deeper interactions going, although realize it can only be pushed so far--for if people aren't going to (or ready) give it up, then it's just a brick wall.

IMHO, this game is best suited for passionate people--it brings out the best in them and brings out the most in them. It also seems to bring out the best in us.

Calling all Elitist fans! In looking at his posts on some of the threads, and hi 1 on 1 tonight, it seems clear that Elitist has a lot of emotion into this game. he's pretty much going to lay all of himself out there for all of us to see.

I can tell you from first hand experience, that doesn't come without a level of risk, and of course the potential for great reward (and I'm not talking about winning the game). It would seem that as long as trying to get to know others and share himself with us, he's trying to figure a few things out about himself. For that, I'm pretty darned impressed!!

Me too Lance. I think he's doing great! He is putting a lot of himself into it. I think he is a little too analytical at times(understatement ) - but I may be that way too if I was locked up in there.

I think he's been a catalyst for lots of discussion both inside and outside the game, and I think being straightforward and honest can be helpful to those of us who get the final vote on the outside. Perceptions on the inside tho, because of rampant paranoia,may cause him to be one of the ones we vote on more often than not, as well as the perception that he is a strong contender to win. I keep forgetting that there are some very decent prizes to be won here and his openess and willingness to challenge on the inside will get him voted by the BGs. The one thing I don't understand is Elitist's relationship with Spam unless it's strategic.

I do not feel the same way as to do some of you...

I feel he was very pompous and condescending at the beginning and hasn't redeemed himself yet... He starts one good thread and everyone thinks he adds so much he has shared about himself in which I appreciate and others chimed in only after he b!tched and moaned about it.

A true game leader in my mind would post heart felt feelings and then if others want to add to it then by all means encourage and ask more questions...

Why can't he just relax, play the Game and drop the paranoia crap ... I don't call that a strategy

Moon, I see your first point--it remains to be seen if he is indeed the game leader.

To address your last point, it may lie in his trait of being a very analytical person by nature. To think everything through--to look at as many possibilities as you can think of. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it hurts (not saying it's right of him to do it--just considering how it could happen). I noticed in one of the 1 on 1 he mentioned that he knows he does this. I hope he gets to the point where he spends more time feeling and less time thinking. IMO, he could get more out of it.

Strictly from enjoying it, even though he's competitive, I hope he can just be himself, and not worry about "strategy. At times I get the feeling from his 1 on 1's that he is weighing this--although only a feeling.

I hope he and OI come to a better understanding during the game. It felt like things got off to a bad start. I'll have to go check and see if they've had a 1 on 1 yet--I don't remember. If they haven't, I hope they take the time to have one.
