OK so episode 1 was nuts. 29 people WTF. My memories of this include my first 2 convos. I met MAGIC BOY who told me about "hackneyed plather" and I met Abrams who wouldn't say more than 5 words at a time and I remember thinking "These people are insane". And then Abrams and Bev fought and Sherri thought I was a spy for telling her they made up. I remember telling Sherri that I wouldn't want to eat her cupcakes because they would make me FAT and that she wore clothes that were appropriate for a pregnant woman. And Bunni wanted to bitchslap me in chat and then she got her role and was all nicey-nice again so I voted for her because I thought she was a bitchy spy. Good times.

Ah, the game had begun, and oh what a game had begun. Trying to talk to everyone in a game of 29 people is crazayyyyyyyyyy. Especially with someone going around "OMG AHAH DIVA POWERRR AND LALALALAL", not a direct quote...but I really dont feel like looking it up, but I think you all get the point of who Im talking about..So yeah, things were tough trying to get around.

Then the roles were handed out, families were started and everything, I was with Mistaki, The spy who everyone suspected, and Target Numero Uno. But it was cool, I had no bad feelings against them at the time, and talking to them was great. I liked the idea of voting for Beverly they came up with too...haha. Merely for it worked for me either way, plus it worked since I couldnt vote for Martha.

I miss this round though...everyone was just getting to know each other, and everyone was happy

I really liked the first few days of the game a bunch. It's always neat because I've read your applications and talked with most of you one-on-one in the 3-4 weeks it takes to get everything together and ready. But none of you know each other. It's great to see all the work come together. Things always kick off real fast, even the short 10-hr period from when the game starts and when identities are revealed has nearly everybody logging on.


The Opening Chat was fantastic and everything I could have hoped for. I also really liked the Tiebreaker challenge. I wasn't sure how long it would take... I really didn't want it to take 15+ minutes as it wasn't THAT fun lol. I had like 19 other pictures hidden in there, and I thought a bunch of them were hilarious, but I don't think anybody really looked for them hahaha. Only a few were found I think.


It's always interesting to see who is the first suspected and how that starts up. Every "mass suspicion" has to start somewhere, and in the beginning of the game with no prior relationships, it is really exciting to try and pinpoint that one conversation between influential people that gets the whole Burg thinking in one way. Most of the time the people don't even know they are starting it up.


Oh and the whole Sherri thing... oh man that in itself has tons of memories lol. It almost went totally out of control, as you'll see in Sherri's confessional in episode 1. A lot went into that character of Sherri and the person who played it is AWESOME.


For awhile there I almost thought it was TOO successful of a character. Sherri was one of the most active and became for a short time a central figure and was one of the most upfront in her suspicions. Here was the problem: Since she was so outspoken and upfront and personable, I thought that when she was Imprisoned it would spook people and they would do the *opposite* (i.e. be boring) in order not to be Imprisoned! That would be a disaster! Not sure how much of that happened but I don't think the result was too bad.


Also, some people like to guess who the person who will be first Imprisoned is, and it made me grin every time they suggested someone who wasn't Sherri. Even when it was down to the final 3 vulnerable they didn't think it was her lol. That's awesome, in every other game people picked out the fake right away!


Actually Sherri has been posting in the Loser's Lounge, so when that is released you'll see more of her motherly personality there.
