I didn't plan to write this tonight, I was about to leave and log off for 7 days, come back as Kez and do a reveal but hey I guess the OC outsmarted me this time eventually ;)
Soooooo.... It all started when I heard about the Race To Black, I ummed and ahhed about joining and when I finally decided to I was a day too late. But Jubbzy said I had been offline long enough to just make a new account, as long as I don't use both at the same time. So BareSlut was born.... I didn't expect to last 5 minutes to be honest, I thought the name was obvious and when I look at it, I see BlueStar straight away!
I never tried to hide it, I was Louise (middle name) from Manchester, 23 years old, worked in a beauty salon.. I mean come on, I was practically giving myself away! If I wanted to fool people I wouldn't have used such a obvious name. My personality, likes/dislikes, interests was all me.. just under a different name.
I decided it would be interesting to see how the other side live, whats life on tengaged really like through a white levels eyes? Well,
Honestly... had this been my real first experience of tengaged, I'm not sure I'd stick around. It's no where near as fun as it was when I joined as BlueStar... and even though so many of you think that it's easier to gain karma now, it's really not.. And half of the time I felt invisable, it was hard to get noticed. Theres so much I could say about what I found out but I'm trying to keep it as short as I can so i'll break it down by games...
Fastings - These are bloody hard! Like, for 3 karma... its a TON of effort.. Iv never played a fasting on BlueStar. I did well in them, always made finals.. But JESUS, high levels can you please stop bitching about being targetted in these, its really their only option alot of the time. And chatzys LOL, I hate them but they do the job :P Shoutouts to some of my great Fasting allys : Ahava, Aduro, Vaporean, sash, catshee, zoom_yup, PinkTuhtle, pepper <3
Castings - Well, my first casting was kinda funny... On BlueStars skype I had a spam from ShayyBayy saying join a castings, it will be fun blah blah blah... so I thought hmmm ok cool, And I joined, in disguise :) It was filled with people who know Kez.. Danny and Blogs were sweethearts <333 so helpful!! But, drama started when I got pissed off posting in the game, while "The OC" talked around me, blatantly selective plussing and ignoring me trying to join in. If I had no experience on this site I'd have prob just logged off, but it urked me and I called them out which led to ongoing drama. Tonym101101 also openly admitted to turning an apple into a key :X Well oooops, sorry about that ban Tony ;) shoulda been smarter about what you say. Castings shoutouts : Zedd(more on you later), Blogs, Danny, Giggs, lovelybones, panzerizz <3
Rookies - I officially HATE premades.. and its bad cause I know as BlueStar I joined with them alot. Sometimes tho it's just ridiculous. I felt worn out after every rookies, I had to claw my way through every one of them! This is were it really got interesting for me cause I eyed out my rookies, I looked for ones with my friends in and I joined. They didn't know who I was until it ended and It was so eye opening to see how dirty my friends can play ;) and wether or not they gave me the time of day. In emilys blog she said something like, take a newb in ur alliance, You so should cause its dammm difficult to get t$ when your so low, and losing 15t$ to a rookies premade actually bankrupts us! That being said it might improve with the slow rookies being slow now, but we'll see. POVs were essential for me to do well and saved me numerous times.. Rookies shoutouts : MikeRORO, Keyston, danielking, mmmmm, kingmatt1414, kimmal
The Duel - I only played two cause I really only wanted to play quick games as I had joined survivor and had 2 game spots :/ I managed to fight to finals in one, I went in 3 times and ended with 2nd :D was so proud... Its obvious for any high level to see a newb avatar and move that person down in your list and honestly, I'm not amazing in every challenge so I was nervous! I lost to charming2010 in my other one, It was Guitar TIW YUCK! Iv never been good at guitar tho :p These are pricey too, so I didnt play too many to waste my t$
Survivor - :D Well, I couldn't do this experience and not play survivor, could I? I didn't do too shabby tbh, 4 merges.. It was SUPER hard to join and not act like I knew what I was doing.. had to ask people about my stats etc and had to play dumb numerous times. I'm quite proud of how I played this, I got into a really secure position early on and until my recent 6-4 merge I was good. Fink and Flame currently have big streaks so I support them fully, I found it funny cause kez and fink awkwardly rarely get along. But he was really nice to Louise :P Merging with the OC, I saw the opportunity to prove a point... NoPlanB AKA Aquamarine kpelled ¬¬' (and got 20th) so day 1 I ate and drink everything I could and I actually quoted him from what he said to ¬¬' when he did it. Snoofle had also kpelled us, and Shay and Alex had been rude to Bare so it just seemed like the right thing to do. I didn't throw challenges cause I didn't wanna jeapordize flame and finks positions on their streaks, I should, fingers crossed, leave the island next dc with serious illness :) Survivor shoutouts : funnylookinkid, itspipez, finklestein123, flameonX , rshowfreak, mattybb9
Big Brother Bravo 8 - Alpha, being one of my best friends here knew I had a new account, I didn't tell many people but he was one of a few, so he asked me to join his game. BlueStar played this like 3 times? and never won... SOMEHOW as BareSlut, I bloody won it!! It was realllly difficult actually, I played hard to get to the finals and then in finals I spammed a total of 227 people :| I feel like brandolicious :P (who btw, I got to vote me to win LOL ;) love ya brando) Really proud of winning this, prob the biggest achievement I got off this account :') Special mentions : Bibbles, Kmy, Kimmal
Finalllly little bits and peices
- T$ are so hard to get at first.. I was doing surveys, betting tiny amounts on charity games, blogging.. Everyone comment some newbs blogs every now n again, we really need it!
- I recieved stars spam :X During the BSG stars.. I'll not tell you who but yea, I voted against that person :P Also got more spam on this sometimes than I do on BlueStar weirdly :S
- It was soooo hard not to say things to certain people, comment on friends blogs, talk in the stars pollbox etc... I only told some of my friends AFTER playing games with them so if I didn;t tell you please don't think I didn't want too, I prob did :)
- Wumblebee, charity frookie? Not only did you have no reason, but you also didn't have enough people join to begin with.. sort it out love.
- I spammed Brandoliscious and Wonderland for the LAWLZ
I've made friendships with people that I've had disagreements with before, People liked louise who didn't like kez.... and equally people who liked kez hated bareslut :P
On one hand I loved being able to meet people and they didn't have an opinion of me already, People think they know BlueStar before they've really even talked to me.. But on BareSlut my first impression was how I made it, not how they saw my avatar on the HOF page or whatever. It really shows that sometimes you dislike someone for all the wrong reasons, I ignored my past feelings towards people and give them a clean slate to get to know me.
The best thing to come from this account has been finding friendships with people I didn't before , but the one I cherish most is someone who has always kinda been there as a friend.. but he says that I just "brushed him off" when I was BlueStar :P Zedd, here's your bit.. I'm glad that you took a shine to Louise in that casting, and I'm glad that I admitted to you in the early stages I was Kez.. You was mortified at first but we got past it lol.. It's been pretty awesome getting to know you properly, even if you are a silly canadian who disses my accent and points out every mistake in my pronunciation of words :( Ily Kyle <3
Soooo, Sorry to the people I lied to, to the people I decieved, and to the people who had no clue any of this was even going on :)
aww!! I noticed they were similar but knowing how slow I am I never caught on :X. I played a few games with Bare though and really enjoyed it<3. You did a good job :p.

I'm actually really glad you did this. I thought it was a brilliant idea that you did this of your own accord, and I applaud you for doing it. It does suck you got found out, but at least is was when you planned on ending the charade.
Congratulations going as long as you did without being found out and I honestly think that you are an amazing person for doing this. I hope Tengaged learns from this. :*
You're right, I still remember how hard it is as a really low level where you have to save up for days and days just to play a rookies, and then you've wasted your money anyway. Grats, you really showed me something :) Hopefully tengaged will learn from this blog :P
omg i was on your survivor tribe for like a day, then i got 18th for completely blanking about the challenge :D i wish i had known who you really were because i wanted to be on bluestar's tribe for like ever :P
Luvs louise and people really dont realize how hard T's are to come by. Finally saving up 15 to join a rookies to just be evicted is devastating. Vets can be evicted and easily join a new one.
I am shocked people didnt catch on sooner to who you were.
I <3 you.
An incredibly interesting read Kez!
Great job. <3
I think it's great that you've had the opportunity to experience Tengaged from a totally contrasting perspective with regards to what you're used to. :-D
+12 <3
