This is a continuation of the Be The Houseguest signup thread:

If you're joining the game as a replacement for a prior player, you might find your sigs in the original thread. Otherwise, we'll handle future transactions here.

Any one else for Niambi?

She has wicked eyebrows. Reminds me of a Vulcan(Spock).

I'll take her if no one else wants her.

The SO site lists her name as "Niambe." Which is right?

The contrast on the SO site pic was so bad that I used PictureIt to lighten it up a bit. Enjoy!

ETA: For the benefit of future players, instructions for using sigs can either be found in the original signup thread, or in the Help Forum.

Edited again (twice!) because I can't type.

Hi Cyg, I think I would enjoy the role of Situation Man.

Okay, now that you're done laughing I would really like to be Situation Man.

Much more exciting after being Lisa2. I had to have SR's help just to liven her up a little.

"Antonia will be AWOL"
Posted by alaholly on 04-29-06 at 10:44 PM
I will be out of town for about 10 days and may not have internet access so Antonia will probably be napping (as usual) unless someone else would like to jump in.

I have the DVR set so will catch up when I get home.

The one playing Antonia followed proper protocol and let me know of her unavailability. I don't want any "conflama" when she comes back. (To that end, I removed your posts as Antonia in the thread. Please do not post as her again.)

You could, of course, be some other "character" relating to her, like her wallet or something.

"RE: add ons"
Posted by mysticwolf on 06-01-06 at 04:57 PM
Actually, no, Lanna. This game is one where people role-play characters and objects that appear on Starting Over. Martha Stewart and PETA have had no role in Starting Over, nor would they - even in a peripheral way. Adding them in simply creates confusion for other posters as other characters would have no basis upon which to interact with them.

There are a number of regular SO characters not taken. Perhaps you would like to participate as one of them.

What about characters that Cyg gave permission for earlier, such as Dr. VanttoLookJung? Do I have to put him away? *sniff* He's a part of me now...but I will bury him if I must.


"Moderator Message"
Posted by mysticwolf on 06-02-06 at 02:12 AM
I don't want to ruin anyone's fun.

Look folks... I don't know what Cyg did for rules when he set this up. And, I certainly didn't keep track of what he assigned and what he didn't. This was his gig.

I know that there were a number of non-SO personas that showed up now and again. (Evidently, I even posted as Judge Judy at one point. I think that must have been my only post in one of these threads before today, and, frankly, I don't remember it.)

From what I understand from the messages I've received today, they were usually on a "drive-by" basis. Not personas that were around all the time. I know that I've received messages saying that the non-SO personas that show up on a regular basis confuse some peeps because they don't know how to respond to them. I didn't make that up - I have no reason to. I don't think for a minute that anyone posting here is stupid. Peeps told me that it confused them. I know that since I interceded I've gotten messages of thanks - even from peeps that weren't among the messages asking for intercession.

I came home from a long day and found a number of messages asking me to intercede. Both about the non-SO associated posts, but about the level to which peeps had taken the doody jokes. I did - on both counts. I have neither the time, nor the energy, to go back through all of the previous threads to see what went before. I answered basis the understanding I was given from the messages I received.

The "Be the..." threads are supposed to be fun. Sharnina agreed to keep them going in Cyg's absence because the majority of peeps posting wanted them to continue. You should all thank her.

So, here's the deal folks. Drive-by postings by non-SO related personas are fine, but they aren't going to be assigned regular roles - unless sharnina wants them to be. Just as most of the games in the other forums are run by non-mods, this particular game thread has been taken over by sharnina. Her rules, her choice.

I will only get involved when I receive a number of messages questioning something &/or asking me to get involved. Or, if I see blatant poster bashing not related to the role play. Or, if the PG/PG-13 line starts getting crossed. That's the role I've played up until now. That's the role I will continue to play. I'm not about to babysit the thread. You're all adults and I expect that you can act as such.

But, if you want to screw up everything for everybody - including yourself - keep bringing issues that you have with the few things I do say (and I think I'm at a personal record number of posts in the "Be the..." threads today) public, instead of asking me questions via PM or E-Mail... Make me spend an overabundance of time overseeing your fun in the thread... Keep going off-topic in it to discuss the "rules" instead of having fun in whatever personas you have adopted... I'll shut it down in a heartbeat. And, reopening a locked thread without permission is a bannable offense.

Sharnina runs this particular game at this point. But I, and the other mods, will get involved when our mailboxes fill with messaages. I'm reasonable. I don't want to go to war with any of you. But, the threads - including this one, and the attached "Be the..." threads - had better stay on topic & quit veering into questioning mod decisions. You've read our guidelines (or you'd better do so now, if you haven't). That's never been acceptable before, and now - even if it's in reruns or ends up being a dead show - is no different. If the forum is open, the board rules apply.
