Talk:Big Brother House (Borehamwood)

descriptions

some flavor, not sure in which form to add it to the article:

You are inside the runs, a series of dimly-lit corridors that surround the studio. Two-way mirrors look out into the house. With the lights out, you can hardly see anything. The building's fire exits have been secured.

You are inside the control room, with monitors and consoles stacked on desks and shelves. The building's fire exits have been secured.

You are inside the offices, a network of corridors, meeting rooms and office spaces. The doors to the street have been secured.

You are inside the Big Brother lounge, a large, wooden-floored room with designer chairs, flock wallpaper and a small kitchen. The doors to the street have been secured.

You are inside the diary room, a blank room with a large, purple chair in the middle.

Note that:

1. the runs are dark buildings.
2. the diary room has no entrance/exit to the streets at all.
3. powering up control room can make some monitors there usefull (like cctv in police stations)

I'm confused as to how the Lounge has a door to the street. :/

Power on in control room enabled CCTV

A portable generator has been set up here. It is running. CCTV monitors show the interior of the house, and a large red clock reads '88:88'.

CCTV switches between: the diary room, Bib Brother lounge and the garden --~~~~ [talk] 11:53, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Search

Image

Should we include an image, or does the grid suffice?

grid's enough --~~~~ [talk] 20:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hidden location?

It's location is uncertain, and users have been asked to keep it that way. —Hagnat

Asked by who? If it's anyone short of Kevan, I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

My updating of this article has just been reverted. This wiki is a resource, I consider the removal of factual and sourced information to be in bad faith and will take people to A/VB. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I was just about to say – nice work on the find, and good timing! Unless there has been an explicit request from Kevan to keep the location hidden, I have to agree with you. "Information wants to be free" → it's going to get out, especially now that iWitnesses have been posted. Anyone who wants to keep it hidden, you might as well bow to the inevitable and save yourself the hassle. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I actually went out and found it yesterday afternoon, I was just busy until then. If it hadn't been for Hagnat's "Noez, keeps it sekrit soez i can haz winz!" bullshit I wouldn't have been in a hurry, however I'm violently opposed to censorship. This is now sourced and posted on Barhah and the Philosophe Knight boards just in case. Those iwitnesses are public, and were made so for a reason. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:34, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

You're naive to think that your iwitnesses are first that reveal location of the BB house. How do you think i got the coordinates in the first place? --~~~~ [talk] 13:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Never claimed to be first, but more public iwits increase everyone's chances. I actually found the house because of you and Hagnat, thanks for that ;) -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Iscariot, i play zombie... the doors to the place are locked and i still didnt got inside. Therefore, i am not participating on the competition... yet. This is not a matter of censorship, its not a matter of a user keeping this info so he can win the prize himself, its rather a case of allowing people to have fun searching for a unique building. If this information is publicy available, most of the fun of searching for it vanishes. Its like telling the end of suspense/drama movie to someone who just bought a ticket for it. The wiki might be a resource, but it must be a resource thinking on the fun of its users. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^talk 13:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Then go put a spoiler warning on the page, oh, wait, you can't because this isn't a work of fiction. People have a month to find a building in a city sized area, you are delusional if you think that's fun for anyone but a cartographer.

"it must be a resource thinking on the fun of its users." - Must it? Would you care to show me the policy, nay, the guidelines, nay the fucking open discussion where this crap was decided? Didn't think you could. Less than 24 hours back in office and already making shit up, colour me shocked and amazed....

Also, don't post here trying to sound all reasonable when you later decided to go onto my talk page and ignore the very simple rules and throw insults around. I may be disagreeable, but I don't try to be disingenuous and hide this fact. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Strange fact: you are here yelling against censorship, when your talk page attempt to censor any kind of discussion between you and anyone on the sysop team. Yay for thee lad. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^talk 14:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Different case. I have page ownership. Also I'm not censoring your views, go post your comments on your own talk page if you want, I'm enforcing my 'No Platform' rule. They are different beasts. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:29, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure they are. And nice sig, asshole. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 14:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to remove the blinking of that signature? I have no problem with you revealing the location, but the blinking is a little bit annoying. - User:Whitehouse 14:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
