Big Brother: Big Thanks

Along with what Silum said, it would promote more drama in the house if the housemates are able to form alliances with some sort of secret posting, where no one else can see them.

I also really like the idea of anonymous posting, so people don't vote based on Dorms (like a lot of people did), they vote based on individual players.

For being a first time, I think everyone who participated did a fantastic job. Even being inside the house, there were very few noticeable bumps in the road. Thanks for letting me play 🙂

yea, Dorm loyalty must have a huge effect on voting... having said that, Raiden won, so maybe not! It's undeniable that people are obviously going to vote for their 'own' so a degree of anonymity may have its place, but I think that would be very tricky to implement. Lima was figured out within day (hours if you count me 😛) ...though I think a BB Survivor (at least the survivor I have in my head right now) with lots of tasks would promote a better unbiased voting response, where people care less about their own dorm, and more who they want to win...

i think you can see, im not gonna let the idea of 'BB survivor' rest anytime soon 😛

And I'm still sticking with my Flavor of Love suggestion!

I definitely agree that people probably did vote for the evictions based on dorm loyalty. I know I sure did a couple times. 😉 This is a big reason why I think the next game like this should be anonymous somehow... Like give them names like Doll1, Doll2, etc.

Overall though, I think the game went really well with very little problems.

Yes, but in all fairness, the whole purpose was to figure out who Lima was.

Being anonymous as a regular housemate shouldn't be as easy to figure out simply because no one will know whats true and whats not (and therefore - drama).

I like the idea of secret dolls too. Even though I'm pretty sure some of them would be found out pretty soon. The question is if the people finding out can keep it quiet and not spread it. And I'm sure dorm loyalty played some part but I'm not sure that it's as much as some people seem to think. Isn't Drogyn and Merrick the dorms with most active members? And the dolls in first and second place was from Raiden and VH. And we already know quite a few people that didn't vote for their dormmates. So I wouldn't do such a big deal of it. But it's nice to have something to blame. 😉

And shouldn't their names be Victor, Sierra, Echo etc instead of doll 1, doll 2 etc. And not going by gender. Victor don't have to be male and so on.

I'm amazed over the work put down on this by the BB crew.
It was a fun event. Way too many post in the beginning, you had no chance of keeping up. But that was just the first day or so. It was handled great by BB and I guess that the Dolls themself calmed down after awhile.

Also want say that I really enjoyed Big Brother's posts. They had a great tone and was always funny to read.
No offence to the dolls but I ended up looking forward to BB's replies mostly. 🙂

Have mixed feelings about the evictions rate. I agree that it felt kinda rushed at times with evictions every other day.
But at the same time I think that it's good to keep the activity up and not having it go on for much more than 2 weeks.
