suzzee 5961 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-27-14, 11:11 AM (EST) "A Sad Farewell from kircon" kircon asked me to post this for her at Blows. I never thought this day would come. But deep down I knew it had to. We have been playing in a dead site. Our caretaker has been missing for over a year. The signs have been obvious. The final straw has been the hijacking of our site. And no response from Webby? I refuse to jump through hoops to post and regain my mail. I could not stay logged on as it was. I have a very old computer. I cannot afford to put my computer in the path of these thugs. Now or later. I don’t understand the concept behind the hack. Do they think we can convince the president to step down? Do they think we have the ear of those who make the decisions? Can we stop the war? Any war? I have loved my time here. I have grown so much. I have made many friends. Several I have met face to face. I have used this site in my healing of my son’s suicide. I lurked for several years then decided to post on his birthday and play KObrien_fan’s game, PTB during the 2005 season. I knew many of you, but now you were beginning to get to know me. I loved playing games. At the peak of my game playing, I was playing over 10 games. The games seemed to help with the grief. I fell in love with a few of them. Then all of a sudden, a host was needed for the PTTE game. The host emydi’s career took off and she didn’t have the time. I volunteered and from S13 Cook Islands I became I became great friends with another host and the resident graphics artist. tribephyl. I call him Sir tribe! Thanks for all your work for me, Sir! Together we designed great graphics. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gHVmVC8XD84/TzhFjUtzHvI/AAAAAAAAAP8/mn1IsUmXUzc/s1600/ OWPTTEHeader.gif I love the game of PTTE so much; I started hosting the game for other shows. Pirate Master The Amazing Race The Apprentice az=send_mesg&userid=kircon|http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/User_files/ 494aef41c5518421.gif] I hosted the 25th version this past season. There were 5 brave souls who played. Thank You All, from the bottom of my heart! With all the spoiling over the last seasons, the PTTE game lost many game players. I tried many versions to combat the spoiling. The last version I called Stealth Mode. I was the only one to see the lists. I felt it worked. I loved hosting for the past 15 seasons. My plan was to host to the end of Survivor. That did not happen. For the past 5 years, I spent a summer weekend with the reality stars. I would use my PTTE write-ups for them to autograph. Now, it won’t be as personal. I loved watching them read about themselves. The toughest one was Michael Bortone, S16 Micronesia. I wrote, “Now maybe you can shut your mouth.” He was hurt. He told me he was with a bunch of stupid people and could not keep his mouth shut. I told him I was sorry and I understood. I spent the next evening with him and a group jamming music. I liked this version of Michael. My best was Stephen Fishbach. He loved my picture of him in a NY race and took a picture with his phone of which I took a picture of him. I also brought back a version of the People of the Question Mark game. I called it SIQ! Survivor in Question! I really had fun with this game. I hosted this game for the past 5 seasons. There was no skill needed, just answer a few questions. It was mainly editing questions. I think most people enjoyed it. Some great poetry came out of this game also. Thanks to all who played Another area, I was involved in was writing summaries. Back in the day, there were so many people who wanted to write, you had to prove your ability. If you wanted to write, you needed to start on another show. I choose One Ocean View. A reality series that lasted 3 shows. I summarized the first two shows. My first attempt at a summary: "One Ocean View Summary - Episode #101" which I posted August 06. http://community.realitytvworld.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/rtvw2/community/dcboard.cgi? az=show_thread&om=1720&forum=DCForumID17&archive=yes While waiting to write a summary, I started writing SOTS’s. I enjoyed writing the first SOTS. I enjoyed this form of writing. However, a few years ago we ran into a problem. People got upset that we were “spoiling”. In a Spoiling Forum! In a thread which was titled State of the Spoiling! Do you remember this? There were many discussions. It never made sense to me. If you don’t want to know about spoiling, then stay out of this forum. So I stopped writing in this form. By now, I was organizing the summary thread. Again, we started having a problem with writers. We lost many of them. It was getting harder to get people to write. Thank you for all for stepping up and filling in. Last season only two people finished their summaries. I don’t know what happened? Webby used to post them to RTVW. But not anymore. I don’t think many people read them anymore. So here we are. Our wonderful site has fallen into disrepair. Can it be fixed? Don’t know. The only thing I can do with this site is to lurk. Not my choice. I will check back to see if anything has been fixed. I will not hold my breath. If anyone wants to host PTTE or SIQ feel free. I don’t think there will be many players. Everyone has the same problem as me. So this is how it ends, with a whimper. I have enjoyed my time here and the friends I have made. Good Luck everyone. I love you all, Connie/ kircon   Top

I totally understand where you are coming from. I too wonder how Webby could go missing for so long without any explanation. How can someone go from creating this site and nurturing it along through all its expansions and then just walk away? I enjoyed playing in your games and thank you for all you have given to Survivor Blows! Outdone by Agman   Top

Agman2 2707 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 02-27-14, 03:09 PM (EST) 3. "RE: A Sad Farewell from kircon" LAST EDITED ON 02-27-14 AT 03:10 PM (EST) I'm really going to miss you. Things really haven't been the same around here in quite some time. The other day, I was looking for some of my old siggies(I lost my identity too) and I was reading some of the threads, and I can't believe how many posters are no longer here. It's very depressing. I was thinking about packing it in also, but I'm going through some serious personal issues and the boards are a needed distraction. Take care and good luck. I hope you make it back to the boards again. Alarmingly masterful tribal creation   Top

Flowerpower1 4375 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 02-27-14, 06:28 PM (EST) 4. "RE: A Sad Farewell from kircon" I am one very sad girl, Kircon! I have really REALLY enjoyed getting to know you through the years, but it really wasn't until we played the Survivor Fantasy game last year that I officially got to know you. You were a real friend and I think we had alot of fun together. It was a great experience and we could have run the game so much better! I will remember it always. I love lurking around your facebook page and checking out all your wonderful pictures, sigh! Maybe some day I could go too, just so much going on in real life with the kids. Something to look forward to. I will miss you. Sincerely, yoiur friend, Patty aka FP   Top

"RE: A Sad Farewell from kircon" I remember the first day, I remember the last day, I will remember this date as well. Sorry to see you exit, kirc. Sad day indeed.
