Day 2: Group comes to consensus about inactivity Aug 31, 2008
With nominations looming, the houseguests decided to throw a toga-rave party to lighten the mood.  It was great to see people enjoying the game and created some comradare!  When nominations were announced it was a bit celebratory, but anxious because this is the first game for a lot of us, but it also hit home that we were going to vote out someone from our cast.

The nominees and some of my thoughts:
(1) Siobhan-she has played in other games and started this game, so I was suprised that she had not been more active in the beginning.  However, she has really come around and started talking to others, which I appreciate.
(2) Tinkerbell-she was here the beginning of the first day, but hasn't been around much after that.  She does seem to have some cool interests.
(3) AnthonyA- I'm not sure he has been on at all since he registered, which surprises me, because he has done well in other games. 

After some general discussion with the castmates it seems like we came to a consensus that inactivity doesn't deserve to stay in the game.  I feel fortunate that a lot of my castmates feel the same way I do about players not participating.  It doesn't make sense to me to join a social game and not get to know the people around you. In my opinion we have a great cast with a variety of backgrounds and experience, and the discussions we have fun are insightful.  I am really looking forward to the rest of the week!

First Day, First Game, First Impressions Aug 30, 2008
imageToday was the first day I got to meet most of my housemates and I think we have an awesome crew.  I guess I don't have much to compare it to since this is my first game, but everyone was really easy to talk to, we had good topics to discuss, and people were giving lots of positive feedback.

I think what impressed me the most was how different we all are, but just seemed to click right away.  Here are some of my first impressions of the players I got to meet and impressions from the introductory posts, if those who are reading like to follow the game:

Siobhan:  She seems to have the most friends out of all of us and has played the most previous games.  I bet she will be a good resource for all of us 'virgins' (ha ha...the housemates know what I mean).

Tinkerbell:  You can tell from her avatar that she likes to be the life of the party and will probably be an exciting player to watch.

UnitedEngland: He seems really mature in his feelings and views of the world.  He will probably be the voice of reason for us all.

BabyBoy:  Don't know much about him yet, but I look forward to meeting him.  He says he is going to business school and has several tatoos, so I bet he has a reserved and wild side to him.

AnthonyA:  Anthony describes himself as laid back and it looks like he is pretty straight forward.  It will be good to talk to him and get his view point on the game.

Sacredbitch:  The blonde bombshell from Sweden!  I may have misjudged her at first, because after hearing her views about relationships it seems she is rich in emotional intelligence.  I look forward to hearing more from her.

Snow:  Just thinking about him cracks me up.  He is the joker in this deck of cards.  He changed his avatar's clothes during a chat and inspired a fashion show where we all changed our clothes!  And lots of the guys ended up in some....revealing...outfits!  Snow will keep us laughing during the game.

Cutie_forever001:  She is the youngest of our group, but she was not intimidated by age and was chatting with everyone.  I think that is great that a young person like her can just talk to anyone.

Gregory2345:  I think the fact that he is involved in hockey and wrestling shows he will be a great competitor in the game.  Maybe one day we'll see him on TV in the wrestling ring!
