LAST EDITED ON 09-20-11 AT 11:26 PM (EST)First, thanks to all of you for making it a pleasure to host such a fun game for you. And I'd like to thank agman for the sigs that he has made as prizes for all of you.
Hamster House Feedback
1. How much did you enjoy playing the game? Would you play again? Why or why not?
2. One purpose of the game was to get a feel of what it's like to play Big Brother. Did you feel almost like you were playing in Big Brother? Is it a "good practice game" for playing Big Brother?
3. How do you rate the competitions? Which ones did you like or not like? (These were a bit of a challenge for me to create. I tried to introduce some competitions that mixed strategy with a bit of luck, but all of them requiring at least some thought and/or effort.)
4. How was the weekly format? Too fast? Too slow? Just right? (It worked nicely within my schedule.)
5. One concern I had was the possibility that the game would adversely affect community member relationships, given all of the wheeling and dealing going on. Was this also a concern to you? Even though the original guidelines reminded everyone that this is just a game, is this something you had to constantly keep in mind? Is this game for just anyone, or do you need a bit of a thick skin to play?
6. I was genuinely surprised by all of the time and effort some of you put into the game. For example, DearAbby created sigpics for everyone! And each week was a monster or double-monster thread. Did this game take up more time than you expected it would? Was it worth the time you put into it for the fun you got out of it? (Your efforts, creativity and fun gave me that much more incentive to do the same!)
7. What suggestions do you have to improve the game? What could be done different? Any new ideas to add? (I put in a couple of twists, but didn't want to overdo it.)
8. Any other comments welcome! (We'll get production to work on the live show format next time around! Thanks for putting up with the initial confusion during question time.)
I'll answer any questions and respond with more comments after some of you have provided some of your feedback.
Thanks again, and it was a genuine pleasure to be your host for the Hamster House game!
