k1l3n how do you get a copy of the bid result?

[k1l3n]

Talk to Firemeboy, he can get you a copy. I think he needed to fix it though, I heard something about him missing a few bids.

[Asta LaVista Baby]

thanks k1l3n

[NightRider]

What is everyone going to do? Will we keep or take?

[k1l3n]

I keep.

[Zenan]

I keep.

[Cyberdude]

Ok, I will KEEP... Nobody better back stab me... Trust me I will find out who did, and I will take care of business afterwards.

[zeanea]

Everybody is acting like i'm some horrible backstabber but if you'll notice, everyone who said they'd bid one....didn't. I may not have bid one but at least i was honest about the fact that i wasn't going to. And when we were told that we decided who won, i think he meant by the choices we made in this game we would decide. Our choices determine who recieves the most points and the person who has the most points wins. I keep my word. so i am telling you all now, i amd going to vote keep. someone will probably vote take but if enough people vote keep then we will all gain points even if the takers gain more. i think if we finish with more points than we started out with, we will get a good grade. oh and Zenan, you talk about trust and working as a group but i don't remember seeing that you voted one. How does that make me the backstabber when i told you i would not wote one? at least i did not lie. And emulator, don't stop being annoying and arrogant, it's funny and it keeps the discussion flowing. at least you are honest about your traits.

I think everybody is saying that they will keep, just so that everybody keeps and then one person can take. Every man for himself, I am not going to play anyone elses game.

Peace

[cchamber4]

I think everyone should keep. Lets all be grownups. If you like to backstab people in this game...you'll do it in real life. If you do that...you suck!

[ripple]

All right well I'm gonna go out on a limb here with only 1 hour left till bidding closes. If anyone ever sees the updated list of points voted for challenge one then you'll notice that I did stick to my word and vote 1 point. Much to my dismay when I saw the results 2 minutes later realizing that I had come in dead last. Anyway I'm going to try and trust this group again and reveal that I'm going to keep for this challenge. If I get hosed again I may have to take a back seat to the forum for safty reasons. Though it should be known that I can be trusted if the group needs the help.
As for Zeanea and his/her self rightous "I'm honest and better then everyone else so you can believe me" crap. Why does anyone have a reason to trust you more then anyone else on the forum, what proof do they have of your trustworthiness? All we know now is that you're too weak and scared of losing something that doesn't matter to benifit the group. I fail to see how that makes you any more believable.

[Emulator]

As stated before no one will keep to there word and this has been made perfectly clear, so for the sake of sticking together i say we ALL KEEP!!! We will all benefit from it anyways... so if we all KEEP we all get 500 points. There is nothing to lose, we should all KEEP!!!! that is we should all KEEP!!! So if we all KEEP we will all win!!!

[Zenan]

Yes Zeanea, I didn't vote 1 point. I was trying to get everyone to say they would vote 1 point before i changed mine to 1 point. Yea I talk about trust because that is the intelligent way to go about these challenges. I agree with ripple you all talk about how it is stupid to trust people in this game. because it affects your grade, well i got some news for you, WE decide who wins. And if you are too self-rightous and scaried to trust this group, then what makes you think that we will trust you. Trust is what will bind us all together, only by trusting each other will we be able to complete these challenges the best way. I hope that this will convice many of you that we should stick together and trust each other.

I'm sorry ripple that I wasn't there with you on bidding 1 point. Some people (like Zeanea) will say that I can't be trusted now because I didn't vote 1 point. It is true that I didn't vote one point, but that wasn't intended. I'm sorry to all of those who voted 1 point, and I hope that you will all atleast give me one more chance. I know that if we work together that we will all gain from it.

For all of you who are wondering, yes i did say keep. I have sent my e-mail, and have no intentions to change it. I trust everyone to stick to their word. So if you wan't to backstab me, here is a good chance.

[Zenan]

Oh and Zeanea, Nice try to divide the class. I hope you fail in your attempt, but i get the impression that you don't want us to work as a group, would you mind telling us all why?
I sit here and type all these messages that talk about trust because that is the best way to help the class. I hope that you will eventually come to trust this group. I know if we all could work together then we will be able to come up with the best soulitions to the challenges, and I'm sure that your help would be beneficent to the group. Hope you will help us all.

[Atreyu]

Yes,

Everyone should just keep their own so wee allcan get points.

[scooter]

I would like to keep my points.
Thanks.

[scooter]

hello

[firemeboy]

Scooter, use the e-mail in vista, or send it to my weber.edu address...

[k1l3n]

O.k. well, I was going to keep. But I never voted
I forgot to send in my E-mail and now it's too late, sorry to the other keepers.

[jezebel_in_hell]

Just checking in. I finally figured out how to do this

[zeanea]

Hey ripple. i Just checked my paper and you are a liar. it says you voted 2, not one. Zenan, i never asked you to trust me, but if you are looking for a reason you will notice when i said i was going to bid above one, i did. And when i said i was going to keep, i did. I now understand why you didn't bid one and that's ok, but ripple is still lying about it. Kudos to Cool17. You are in first place and you seem to understand people backstabbing, yet you still voted keep...why? You are a better person than most of us i think. I notice that all the people talking smack on here are not doing well. Stop getting mad at me, i'm just being honest. i told you if firemeboy said the points didn't matter then i would go along with what you want. As it is i have not screwed anybody over. I'm not out for a fight so just calm down people. i wish i could trust everybody on her but the past two challenges have already proved you can't. this challenge worked out well for the keepers, but let's face it, we never could have gotten everybody to vote one on the first challenge.

[firemeboy]

I can clarify that. Ripple did indeed vote 1, but I got it after I had already made the results public. Rather than go back and re-work everything, I simply changed his bid to a 2.

[Zenan]

Zeanea, How do you know that cool17 voted to keep. I thought it was suppose to be a secret forever?? Not trying to stir up some debate here just wondering where u got that info from? Thanks for voting keep if you did, but i still will say that we should work together. My reasoning for this is who cares that you got more points, GOOD FOR YOU. But wouldn't learing how to work together as a part of a group be much more benificent to you. Hopefully for the next challenge we may be able to trust each other and figure out how to do this that will benifient the most people. Congrats cool17 for being in the lead.

[Chika-Chika]

So you don't like me emulator, Emulator do you go to class on mon. and wed

[cool719]

I think it is quite funny how the people who take the game so seriously are the ones that are losing. Just sit back and have fun, sure working as a team is good sometimes, but sometimes you have to be selfish in order to get ahead.

I also have a comment about the person who said that if somebody back stabs in this game, they would back stab in real life. I disagree. This is a game, not real life, I don't think it reflects how people will react in "real life."

[cool719]

That last comment wasn't meant in a rude way by any means. I am just trying to say to people as nicely as possible, lighten up. This is a game. Its supposed to be fun. So lets make it fun.

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

[Zenan]

I agree. It's just a game, Let's have some fun. Nice attempt to give us a joke, Zeanea, but to tell you the truth it was too long for me to read. By the time i got the end of it I wasn't sure what it was about.

[k1l3n]

Lightbulbs.

and mailing lists.

------------------
--You think so?
Well, you're wrong!

[FUFU]

Although I am at the bottom of the totem pole, I agree with Cool719-we all need to lighten up and enjoy this Online Challenge/Game!

[firemeboy]

Yes, this is just a game...

Or is it?

I'm just kidding...

Or am I?

Really, I'm just kidding.

Maybe...

[Emulator]

Why yes i do go to class on those days in question are you trying to get at something?
Huh Chicka-Chicka? huh?

[k1l3n]

A monkey eats a bannana every half hour.

------------------
--You think so?
Well, you're wrong!

[zeanea]

I agree with cool719, everyone needs to calm down about this work as a team thing. I'm too stressed out to care. I formally apologize Ripple, you did vote one, sorry about that. Zenan, i know that both cool719 and i voted keep because on the results paper we both gained 100 points, anyone who voted take got 0 points.

Hello all!
I took this class from firemeboy a few semesters ago and had a lot of fun. I'll be checking in once in a while to see what you guys are up to and see if you make the same mistakes my class did.

~Red Dragon Cheese

Wholesale price: $80.00
w/ $300.00 purchase

By World War II, cheese production in Wales had nearly ceased; run out of business by large cheese making factories in England. Fortunately for us, there has been a revival of old ways by a new generation of cheese makers. They have saved Caerphilly (the only traditional Welsh cheese still made) from the factory-made processed form it had become in England to its original farmhouse character. Now they are creating other fine cheeses such as Red Dragon, also known as Y-Fenni. This smooth, firm tasty Cheddar is made with Welsh brown ale and mustard seeds. Red Dragon is a buttery and spicy cheese with plenty of bite, but is not too hot. Not only do the mustard seeds give Red Dragon its marvelous flavor, but also its texture. The brown ale makes the cheese moist and tangy. Red Dragon is aged for 3 months, made from cow’s milk and is vegetarian.

[zeanea]

I have a question. Why are some of us Icarian members and some are Daedellioon members?

[Zenan]
