Big Brother Day One

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

hmm, it was a rather chaotic start. So let’s just do a random stream of consciousness bullet point list…

  • As in RL (real lifeā„¢), they couldn’t spell my name right.
  • I had originally thought it begins at 4 pm. It actually began at 4 am, resulting in me getting very little sleep last night. I’m pretty tired right now.
  • There were 71 people at the opening ceremony. This is some kind of record. Up to now, the most I’ve seen in one sim without a crash is around 40-50.
  • 12 guys, 3 women. At least, that’s what the avatars show. I’m sure more than one female avatar has a male player. And I’m not sure how to count Goreans, and there’s a couple of part-time furries in the mix, as well as an elf. All in all, a diverse groups.
  • Someone was obviously a sore loser at not getting picked, and tried to crash the sim and then proceeded to use cage guns on all the participants.
  • We weren’t given any special instructions on which rooms are ours, so it fell more or less randomly. There are some good builders among us.
  • Our timers to record how long we are online broke, so effectively we all get a bye (ooh, spot the sports reference there) on the first day.
