Bronco.... I ask everyone to vote on how they want us to handle the situation of letting people know where each of us are in the game or not. Do you want to kn ow where everyone is or would it be more fun to wait until the end and someone surprises us all...

I have wittnessed many times where someone such as MJC (as she mentioned) was in the back then suddenly out of the blue here she comes and wins the game. I think I saw undercoverangel do this a time or two and so have a few others. So far I am getting more from all of you that you will go with the flow. Please let me know your true desires. If you all say ...go with the flow then I don't know where we are flowing...smiling...I may be flowing into disaster and not know it lol lol lol.... you are all the best and there will be many more games and we will do them more freguently in the future. I will start painting again and get more things done so that I can make them into prizes.

Yesterday ended our sale, and we didn't do too good, but nothing to complain about. I had many pieces of craft inventory for sale as I have no room to keep it all here in my apartment. Del has decided to rent a storage room close to our apartment to keep some of it in. As I looked at the glass, wood, bisque, and silk flower stuff, I had to keep some of it..it will make great BINGO prizes. I have some halloween stuff that if the shipping would not cost so much because of its size when completed would make great gifts for those of you who enjoy that holiday. The nice thing is, for the most part, I have a BIG inventory still so I do not have to buy pieces to paint on... if I do it as I did this time... so lets keep having fun and I will get myself organized here in this apartment and enjoy painting for you all... I know jayne...get those roosters painted...

Another thing that I can start painting on is mail boxes....for anyone who would be interested in winning a painted mail box, let me kn ow and I will see what I can do with that idea. Love to all....please continue to have a great time..

MJC...thank you for your kind words... I enjoyed meeting you as well... and thanks for calling me sis...

I shared with MJC, that there is only one thing in my life that I truely feel I missed out on, and that is sharing a friendship and a love with my own sister... she as have many of you are fulfilling that need ...thank you so much.... thank you from the bottom of my heart... Red

I will post it on here how I feel. Knowing this is my first time on here I would also say I would go with the flow. I am the type of person that really does not like drama/trouble I am flexable. But If I was the boss I like to say this cause I say it to my wife all the time....

But seriously I like the surprise and also like to know how others are doing.
But lets let the keeper of the cards decide.......I'm in no matter what and look forward to play again......................Bronco

Let's Just Kiss and Make Up!

THANK YOU TO RED FOR HOSTING THIS GAME, AND AQA FOR BEING THE KOW! NO ROOM TO ADD STRESS IN MY LIFE. THIS IS A FUN GAME AND I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T JOINED IN BEFORE!

Hi all...I said that I would get back to you all about whether or not each person should know who has what. AS I said in an earlier post about all of this, that in the beginning, I never intended on anyone knowing who had what but it did start and it appeared that it added to the fun. I happen to know first hand that I know very little about most of everything so this was ok with me. However, the question has been brought up about how it affects people who tend to be lagging behind especially in the beginning. The thought was introduced that perhaps some could feel a bit of depression and decide to quit early on if they knew others were so much further ahead. I can understand and respect that concern, and yet I still believe after watching this game for a long time that for the most part, the racing remarks, the whipping, or galloping remarks has added to the adventure of the game and maybe even the competition. I had to remind myself of a few simple facts. One, just because I don't have a competitive bone in my body does not mean that this is not a BIG part of playing a game for many. This being the case, I can see where something such as feeling like you are loosing in a game could create or be a trigger for some form (most likely not sever even for someone who is already depressed because there is no true lost here to be percieved) of depression.

Today I have wrapped my mind around this 1000 or more time, no exaceration, and I find that I still am not sure that the direction I am going to give is the direction that will create the most happiness which is of highest value to me. This game is nothing if all of you are not gaining some pleasure and some enjoyement from it. My enjoyment is in knowing that my dearest of all friends in the world are enjoying themselves. My true friends are all of you. I am not sure what that says about me, but I guess for some reason I know most of you the best and you know me. So enough of that...I asked for a vote and...

what I got was more of, what ever everyone else wants or nothing at all. I do understand why some of you didn't say anything but if you are the ones who may be feeling depressed at all then I have to say I don't understand. However, needless to say lets clear this all up right now...and then you can all make a decision if you want to continue to play or if you want to continue having BINGO games in the future. I do want to continue to sponser them and I do want to watch you all have fun...

here goes:

First lets clear up the role of the KOW...in this case, AQA... his role is and always was stated as such:

1. To verify that when someone calls BINGO that all there words or names were called and that they do in fact have the BINGO.

this is the only role of this person. I can't keep them, because the sense of fairness would be gone. I draw the words therefore I should not know who has what set of words.

2. It is not the KOW's responsibility to give us an update of where everyone is. that takes a lot of work, and while in the past that has been done, I will ask that we not ask that of them in the future. Therefore, in terms of knowing exactly who has what, we are going to stop.

Now in terms of the fun stuff...I would encourage you to continue to announce if you got a word or did not get a word, if your horse is nearing the line or if it has ran into a problem..this has been made into a lot of fun. Unless someone is keeping track of everyone's announcements no one would know where everyone is in terms of a whole picture. You would k now for the day, but do you remember from day to day who did what. You would hvae to be determined to find out by going back and reading all the post and adding it up. If anyone needs to do that, do it. If it doesn't hurt you, it can't hurt anyone else either as long as you do not announce your findings. Does this make sense. ADmin...I hope this is ok. AQA I hope this is ok and Sparkey... your feeling truly matter to me as well. If you have any questions, just let me know though pm or in a post. Let me know what you think...and lets play BINGO...may you all be winners, because in my heart you are all BIG WINNERS, you have each other during the most horrible time in your lives....thanks for playing Red

I found the above..please check out the directions given... it says to send your words to spring for "verification purposes only." Thanks Red

Red, I have a question, If in the course of a game, and say you loose your words ETC, would it be possable to contact the KOW to ask for your list of words?.
I think the rules you have set down are more than fair and make sence.

Now let's get on with the Game and good luck to all,

Red, Do you have any glass with small flowers , vases, pitchers glasses etc that you will be offering for prizes?. I remember seeing some that you were doing at the Castle and they were beautifull.

My 2 cents, ok? I think this was the original Bingo Game: http://www.workerscompensation.com/forum...047&page=1 Did we not have a lot of competitive fun back when?

So why cause things to be so complicated and CHANGE anything?

I have had a busy day dealing with a water leak and tomorrow I will be dealing with the city on the issue. Anyway, I see what is going on with the Bingo game. I find it a little disturbing. All of this is because I sent a friendly PM to a member. I meant no harm then, do I ever mean to harm anyone. We have all been through to much and been in the system to long. It has been over 24 hours and I get the feeling that the masses have spoken. So, to put an end to all of this. I have calculated eveyones Bingo score.

AQA... read number 2 of your responsibilities as the KOW. I did not expect you to do all this work, i never have...I am sorry if I didn't make that clear and if my communication is poor these days ..... thanks for being the KOW.... Red...

Now I am confused... AQA..this took a lot of time and work none of which I expected you to do.... never did want the keeper of the words to feel like thye have to do. thanks for helping... please read #2 of my post above under the KOW's responsibilities. Red
