Is there a problem with cliques on the forum?

[Wizard.]

I understand how friendship groups form on sites likes this, it's understandable. I actually think I get on with most people on here, in general terms, when having discussions. However when it comes to forum games, I have definitely noticed that there's a group, or groups of people who stick together and if one doesn't like you the whole pack doesn't like you. I am discussing this because there was recently a thread on why it is difficult finding new players for games, and this is definitely a contributing factor when the same group of friends playing games together always make it to the end.

That's why there's no voting in my games coming up this year (apart from when it comes to the winner) because why be motivated to put your time and effort into playing a fun game for you to then be ostracised and thrown out because you're not in a group?

[Denver]

There is a major one who are going round attacking people including me and i have let the mods know who they are and they can deal with it

[Denver]

Basically this group will call you a troll and campaign for you to be banned if you go against their opinion

[LukeB]

No not anymore.

Most people these days have convos with pretty much most people :shrug: I know i do.

[Wizard.]

Hmm interesting. That's really sad if it's true. I don't want to name names because I don't want an argument and then for this thread to be closed but I think the issue needs addressing. There are rules in games where you can't discuss who you are going to vote for, which is fine in real life for a group of people who don't know each other, but it doesn't really work on a forum because it makes the players who aren't in the group feel left out.

Talking about games there is at least one person who fixes the results of the games he hosts

[Wizard.]

No not anymore.

Yes I'm conversations I understand. But in games context, if there are 12 players and 1 is a newbie, that newbie stands no chance because a group of friends aren't going to stab each other's in the back. There's an unspoken alliance in everything.

[Wizard.]

Well then that person needs reporting and their game cancelled.

[Denver]

Well then that person needs reporting and their game cancelled.

there is no hardcore proof but it is dam obvious

[Alf]

Anybody is free to join my gang. But I'm the leader.

[Wizard.]

It also kind of annoys me when people in a clique go "there's no group your crazy" but then the whole group make it to the end and you're the first one to go :confused:

[Wizard.]

But I guess people who do this are usually teenagers so I can kind of understand their childish attitudes around cliques.

idk because there's some who is still on tibb bb who doesn't have the whole friendship thing. (not sure if they have been nominated at some point when i was away for a week) and the Bachelor.Y.winter won over people i talk to more.

[Black Dagger]

No. They all left in a strop <3333

Re. games it's noticeable the same people are usually voted out within the first few rounds :laugh:

Yes and the same people making it to the end

This is also the main reasons nobody plays games anymore

It's sad that people, out of their own greed of wanting to win, have ruined the chances of new people wanting to play.

[Wizard.]

Like if TiBB Big Brother was my first experience of playing a game, know that that first impression would make me never play a game again.

[T*]

A wee bit ironic that it's the same people always attacking the forum and saying it has cliques ? Mini clique incoming???

[Wizard.]

A wee bit ironic that it's the same people always attacking the forum and saying it has cliques ? Mini clique incoming???

See prior comment on how clique members continually refute the fact that they're in a clique. I'll be nice and work with anyone who is nice to me, not just because I've been friends with them and want to please their egos.

[Shaun]

I wouldn't really know since I haven't paid attention to that area of tibb in about 2 years but from a semi-outside perspective it's not as bad as it has been in the past?

[Denver]

I know i have been attacked by 5 people in the chat thread who all have a kik group including one who said i should be banned because i said Cell Block H was breaking boundaries before Bad Girls now if that isnt a clique then what is?

[T*]

I'm not in a clique though I'm just friends with people. I swear to god some of you think people have a biiig group chat where we pick our next target and argue with them. The forum isn't like that anymore.

[Denver]

It used to but it doesn't anymore.

On the whole everyone seems to get along with everyone.

I'm sorry but it doesn't look good for some people when they come running to protect someone else. I'm sure we're all old enough to defend ourselves on here.

I'll happily debate them on the subject of Prisoner cell block H vs Bad Girls.

[Cal.]

I can't think of a clique on this forum? Not one that causes a significant problem anyway. Coming from someone who has been in a 'forum clique' - I think you just don't get along with certain members and you can't just accuse them of being in a clique because of that.

[T*]

We don't. The argument you keep referring to about Cell Block or whatever it was called was because everyone was active in the chat thread st the time and disagreed with you saying it revolutionised how we see TV today or whatever it was...

I'm not accusing anyone being in a clique because of that. I'm talking about my observations and my perspective. It's often the ones who are in groups who don't actually realise it.

[Denver]

I am talking about an incident before that

[Jason.]

No not anymore.

Most people these days have convos with pretty much most people :shrug: I know i do.

This.

Obviously there's members people get along with more than others, but in general I don't think that stops anyone from speaking to other people across the forum.

When I started becoming more active around 2015 time, the forum was much more cliquey but it seems to have died down over the last half year or so. Heck, the forum isn't even as active anymore.

[Denver]

Speak in the other one then? If it's still going that is

Nobody uses it.

I actually hardly use chat threads now as everyone has seemed to have been pushed out

[Cal.]

Yeah there's hardly enough activity for different cliques to be forming on the forum either.

*in b4 Josy tells me to make interesting posts then*

[T*]

Adam you are nothing but cruel to other members and those who don't agree with you you just insult. You continue to say controversial things at the wrong time so people are surely going to drift away from you. I even got on with you earlier this year and then you showed your old self yet again so that's why I've been off with you. You were already making an effort to be nicer to people, you screwed up again, and you're just trying to blame a clique for it when it's just nonsense.

[T*]

I have not been personal with anyone in for like ever.

We all have controversial opinions thats life you need to move on.

We was getting on and i never said a bad thing to you it was you who was starting to be horrible to me.

I will not stand back and let people dig t me with no response.

[Wizard.]

Also think it depends on people's sense of humour because me and Adam seem to get attacked by people for the things we say but I think we have that same sense of humour. Some people say equally worse but it gets brushed under the carpet by their friends because they're in the same circle.

[LukeB]

The forum isn't active enough during off-season much as it use to so the cliques have died. All it takes is a convo to have a discussion. people don't really avoid talking to someone because they are not with them. I don't i just avoid people who are not nice.

Did you not see TiBB BB? Yes we all have controversial opinions but we're not in your face about them like you were when you had that stage of fat shaming everyone and berating them for their looks. You constantly bait people and then act as if you're the victim which is the furthest thing from the truth and you KNOW it is, otherwise you wouldn't of tried to change yourself. And no, you may not of nessecarily been nasty to me, but you have been to other people and that's why I really don't like how you act. There's no cliques, there's casual friends in the chat thread but you still think it's other people's faults when it's your own for being nasty.

[Denver]

Nothing wrong by me saying i wouldnt date fat people

[Wizard.]

The cliques are real. Some people need to face facts.

[UserSince2005]

Its like now I dont want to even post pics of myself on the forum, because no one will say anything nice about them because im not liked :sad:

[Denver]

Als if people took time to get to know me they would know how nice i am

[LukeB]

The cliques are real. Some people need to face facts.

that was 2 years ago not now.you can easily try and talk to someone via wall/pm and have a convo about anything. all it takes it effort and be social. like if you have common interest/some favs you can talk about that.

[T*]

Idk I wasn't here two years ago but I'm here today and it's real in games.

[Jeol]

Are any cliques taking new members? Asking for a friend

[Withano]

Talking about games there is at least one person who fixes the results of the games he hosts

A fortnight ago, you private messaged others with details about a clique you were intending on creating in the hope to progress further in a game that you were partaking in.
Can you spot any hypocrisy or na?

[Wizard.]

Like LukeB posted this

Will/Marc/Cal for the win

Well I'm sure that's because your friends with them? :joker:

probably in strategy games because yes you have to because it's a numbers game but i have not seen any evidence for public voting games. Morgan/Greg seem like new people and they are still in the game.

But can you see what I mean? It's okay to root for friends but then you can't say there's no group/clique problems when some friendship groups dominate games.

[T*]

If you have a problem with members being friends with each other what is the point on being on a forum :umm2:

[Black Dagger]

Just be yourself instead.

[LukeB]

he's been here a year and he's still survived over people whose been on here for longer.

[T*]

Also in no forum vote games there's always going to be things called alliances? Maybe that's why you got voted out on survivor Riley because they knew they could trust Greg rather than you. Jfc.

[Wizard.]

but I'm not rooting for friends though.

and i voted on who i thought should have had a second chance rather than who i talk to more.. out of the list i talk to Tom the most but i voted for Marc. Also I voted Y.winter the winner of the bachelor when i was closer to other people.

[Deirdre]

this is why i don't have friends irl or online.

[Withano]

I kinda know what Riley means, I'm not sure if clique is the right word though. A clique sort of says to me exclusivity, when really, you can be pleasent to several members and join their inner circle of friends pretty easily if you wanted to - but their inner circle of friends will still move about (usually dependent on who their big brother faves are) so it doesnt scream cliquey to me

[VanessaFeltz.]

Well about the game part it is correct at least for the game i was in last year.

For the social part i dont really see RIGHT NOW that people are not talking with people outside of their cliques.
I know i have only one friend here so i dont really pay attention anyways.

[LukeB]

[T*]

Well you can't just make that up Tom. I have to take the reason given at face value.
Someone knowing you less than the other nominee is a valid reason to evict someone from a game especially in those with alliances in which you need a big trust etc. If that's your main argument about cliques then idk why you're trying to smell of roses bc you would've been in alliances to get to where you did in Revolution?

Yes but when you're in an alliance you have to pretend you're not in one, in things like TiBB it's pretty obvious who is together. For The Challenge people are put in teams therefore it stops cliques from forming together.

[VanessaFeltz.]

I like you :p if i'm not that one friend. we got along really well before.

I don't think so, I think especially with some alliances it's really interesting to see who gels together. I try and cast a lot of newbies bc of this. They're alliances, not cliques bc in the end they're going to have to turn against each other so I don't see your point. Also that's given me a flashback to my game versus haha

No, I said I wasn't going to allow you in my sweepstake because you insulted me during the duration of it last year and called fix if you didn't like the country you got. I want it to remain fun and not dramatic because it's a damn sweepstake and you obviously cannot be trusted to participate. Nice try of twisting my words though.

I'd hoped you'd kept this fair because Eurovision is usually one of the only nights on here that have no animosity and it's quite a fun night.

But wait there's more!
I'm not embarrassing myself at all, just being honest about how I feel. My only shock was Mummy Mokka didn't get Russia



I'm not calling 'fix' just because I dislike the entry I got as I explained. It's very suspect that the two people you dislike get the country's at 100/1 though and Vanessa getting Italy...hmm



I do think you fixed it though, yes.



As I said...it's not a wild accusation at all. If I had no basis then that would be but if you read the top bit instead of just the bottom you'd see I have a genuine reason for believing my accusation.
All this because I picked pieces of paper out of a hat and you and Amy didn't like it. You obviously did agree and you did go out of your ways to hurt me so yeah

Re. games it's noticeable the same people are usually voted out within the first few rounds :laugh:

I agree with this to an extent but, for an example, during TiBB BB Battleground I was evicted third, maybe fourth but yet I've made it to the Quarter Finals this time round. I genuinely think, especially in this edition if TiBB BB people have gone because they had made a mistake or been in drama that week and people have disliked it. Not sure how others think but that's my view on it.

i'm open to applications from anyone who wants to join my clique with dong si cheng and kim jong-in

[Daniel-X]

Don't think there's cliques. Just more friendship groups who share common interests and talk off site. I speak to Cal a LOT off site but I wouldn't say we were cliquey? I speak to a lot of people on here for different reasons.

[Jamie89]

I don't think there's a problem with cliques tbh. I think there are friendship groups and that can seem a bit intimidating especially when you're new and it probably does affect games to an extent, but then you also get lots of examples in games where people do well who wouldn't be thought of as being in friendship groups, so I'm not sure how much it really effects things? And I think the difference between that and cliques is that from what I've seen people aren't really 'shut out' of any friendship groups, it's just that some people naturally don't get along with each other or gravitate more towards certain people, but without closing themselves off to everyone else. I'd imagine that any of the people who are being accused of being in cliques actually get along with lots of different people and don't intentionally segregate themselves or anything.
I know in TiBB BB though you've done amazing at the challenges Riley and you're one of the most active so I can understand that it must be really frustrating always being nominated for eviction, maybe it's just the way of the game and that particular format though, rather than it being because of cliques? Because it is a game purely based on popularity rather than being one where you're rewarded for success in tasks etc.

I'm sorry if you feel that way, because I do like you as a member of this forum.
My personal experience with games was different, having won The Bachelor and having quite a support from many of the contestants without being a prominent poster. I appreciate Luke and many of the members here for that, it was really heartwarming. :love: I'd like to think it goes the same as for other aspects and activities in this forum.
I read a lot in the forum, I don't always participate because it's not always my cup of tea (discussions/music/etc), but it's OK, I don't have to - I find my place here with the things that do interest me, with the people with whom I enjoy chatting, and it's a nice thing to have. Nothing else matters.
I think some games go a bit out of hand, and I wish it would be just fun and stay as a game, with people being more nice and respectful to each other.
And we all should remember:

I would say, do your thing, be the charming Riley the you are, and let things happen. For better, for worse, you do you. :)

Awh thank you that's so lovely :love:

ugh only if i didnt flop at comps.. Only comp i did win i made a big move so!

Still iconic :love:

Thanks Jamie, you speak a lot of sense maybe you're right :) I do think some individual had acted out of order with me but I'll try not to generalise it to their friends.

Hmm I love 'smow' :joker:

[Amy Jade]

In general on the forum I don't really think so but in games 100% yes.

[Jarrod]

Re. games it's noticeable the same people are usually voted out within the first few rounds :laugh:

This happens with TiBB BB quite a lot. It's normally the ones who have been known to "not have a group" who get evicted first and then the "clique" members remain. There's always a voting pattern when games like this happen I think.

[Denver]

This better not be for TiBB BB. That's the entire reason I do a poll vote, because it's harder to "fix". You'll get voting stats and percentages revealed at the end of the series, as normal.

Dont worry it isnt you i see you as one of the better hosts

@Tom

I get a mod to verify everything before a game launches and before each round so no hunty

I agree luckily I never played before though so it's easier to not be tarnished from previous seasons.

[Amy Jade]

You were NOT JOKING. You and Amy insulted me and caused drama, insulted me and Josy had to get involved. You're ridiculous.

Stop pretending you're an innocent bystander to everything. You were extremely rude towards me in the BB thread just because I picked who I liked and it wasn't you.

[Amy Jade]

Idk and won't comment on games being fixed because it's not worth it and frankly it's all just speculative.

[Jarrod]

In terms of the forum itself though, I don't notice anything. Mainly because I only come on for Big Brother and then to run the game. I never post in the chat threads etc.

[Amy Jade]

I've played games run by Jarrod, Shaun, Riley, Cal, Ben and lots of others and been evicted/voted off/killed and never felt it was fixed lol

I wasn't talking about the BB thread here :rolleyes:

I am fully aware of that but if you are bringing up stuff from a year ago and trying to insinuate it's cliquey for me to have a conversation with Adam (somebody I speak to rarely and am not even friends with) then I'll happily point out how you trying to come for me regularly for simply supporting those you don't like on a game by trying to get a cheap laugh from your friends by calling me male is quite cliquey too.

[Vanessa]

I don't think so. But there are some strong personalities in here for sure. That sometimes causes conflict :laugh:

I was stating that the reason Adam was blacklisted from my sweepstake is due to how he behaved last year. He attempted to shrug it off as joking so I had to get the reciepts out. We can't all say we've been innocent in TiBB BB when the fact is I fell out with you due to your baiting of me and Will and we've been at each other since.

[Glenn.]

So explain how when one of you lot are in an argument the rest show up all at once gang handling members?

This happens with the weaves

[T*]

happened*
That doesn't happen anymore.

[Glenn.]

It happens

[Firewire]

There always has been cliques (Brotherhood vs Zeta anyone?????) until some point within the last year when it died out

I don't think it's bad any more, at least it doesn't show

I think people have grown up though, I think I have anyway

I'm honestly bored of you deflecting blame, it's never your fault. It's always someone baited you or someone came for you first but if you look at the viewer thread all I did was disagree with everyone ragging on Adam which you took great offence over.

I'm honestly done though, crack on if it makes you happy.

Enjoy your delusion!

Oh no I wasn't saying you do, I just thought it was obvious Adam meant you

I can't remember Sandra (but then I haven't seen survivor so that's probably why) but yes I remember the vote... good times :flutter:

You're all ****ing tragic.

[Tom4784]

I'm just going to close this since this thread is a MESS.

[Marsh.]

There is a major one who are going round attacking people including me and i have let the mods know who they are and they can deal with it

Basically this group will call you a troll and campaign for you to be banned if you go against their opinion

Is this the Scott, Rob, Marsh, Tom one? :think:
