My BB Experience

almost 6 years

Hi all, you may know me as that player that quit SBBB4. First off I'd like to say that there were a range of accumulating reasons as to why I decided it was best if I left the competition. As I made clear in my first statement, the hosts did an amazing job, which is evident as the competition continues to grow and become better year on year. The challenges were incredibly fun, it was run at a good pace, the hosts were extremely dedicated, and the players were fun and grew on me throughout the course of the competition. For this reason I'd suggest you all try and play if it comes back for another season after All Stars. I'd like to make it clear again, SBBB4 is pretty close to perfect for an ORG.

A recent statement I made has caused much controversy which I will now attempt to hush. During my time playing the game it came to my attention that different players had different methods of playing. In order to come out on top people employed different methods, some being unethical and especially hard to monitor from the perspective of the hosts. Of course when running an ORG this will be the case, and so the onus is on the player base to ensure they are being their best selves and playing fairly.

Now it was a mistake to let anything slip to begin with. The reason why I left (besides a bunch of person crap) was because there were numerous people that weren't playing fairly. Big Brother is interesting in the sense that people are able to employ techniques that in traditional game shows they would be unable to. But when individuals go beyond what is fair, and start to lie (beyond what is socially 'okay' in the context of Big Brother), fake results, blackmail, and manipulate games so that they have an advantage - this is where I draw the line.

Now. Alongside this, I don't particularly feel it is my duty to police this. I am just a player. It's not the hosts duty either. They do enough for the game. The responsibility comes from the individuals who decide to use unfair tactics to get the upper hand. MULTIPLE people employed methods that probably overstepped the set rules. If those individuals care about integrity, they would come forward and own up to their mistakes. I am not and will not throw people under the bus, especially when it no longer effects me. So don't attempt to contact me, as I will continue my policy of ignoring any requests for information I don't feel is my duty to provide.

For those of you who are saying I make crap up, then you clearly don't know me or what I stand for. I left the game on my own accord and decided it would be best if I blocked everyone to refrain from causing any further issues. I have nothing to gain by making statements related to my experiences in the game, as again, I left and I don't regret that decision. I'm not trying to start drama. But I would like to stop being attacked for the decisions other players made throughout the course of the game.

EVERYONE was so incredibly lovely throughout the game, and spending such a long time together can always cause expected tension, but reflecting on my experience I have nothing but the utmost good feelings towards the other players. So please don't take this as an attack against anyone in particular. I made mistakes. Most of us probably did. I just hope going forward into the future in terms of gameplay, that we all learn to play fairly and treat each other with respect and kindness.
