Cellophane

Some Avatars are permitted to babble in the megaphone- others are admonished for it. So you have to know someone if you want to converse in the megaphone.

I cannot understand why anyone- unless they are bored out of their mind living in a bomb bunker twenty feet underground and trapped there forever would spend even a Monday night online participating in this event! Yet dozens of Avatars show up and sit their Avatars bums down and somehow get through this event.

I have a several theories of just how they manage to do this...

- The human controlling the Avatar is on dope- take your pick which particular dope they are on; pot, pills or crack. The human controlling the Avatar is so bunked up they don't realize that they will never get a Bingo and even if they do they will call it too late and someone else will win the gigantic prize of 1000 Tbux for sitting for an hour to get one diagonal line Bingo.

- Some corporate giant is paying humans to play Bingo. This theory makes the most sense to me. There is no justifiable reason anyone would sit for hours wading through the sludge of eternal pauses between numbers called, the back and forthing about who really has a Bingo and request from the event coordinator for players to cease pressing the 'refresh' button unless they were raking in about $20 US per hour to do so.

- Everyone is multi-taking while waiting for Bingo to be called. This is the most stupid-assed reason to be at this event. You could sit in any number of nicely populated areas of There and multi-task- it is not necessary to subject yourself to this excruciatingly monotonous experience!

I have no idea how the Avatar and her human component deal with running this event once per week. I'm thinking about the members of some orders of Monks who flog their own backs raw and bloody to purge themselves of sin. Perhaps she is really trying to atone for something...

Sweetie, just partake in one good flogging session. You truly don't have to put yourself through this every week!
