I've played enough Stars to have a good sense of what I'm talking about, and I think I have a unique perspective on it because
every stars game I stepped into back in the day, I was essentially on one life. It was unnominated or bust, because I just wasn't social in the community and I don't have the friends to save me when I go up in a poll. I'd win random ones now and again, new lease on life.
But this informs my perspective a lot because when you have to play like being nominated is a death sentence for you in the game, it changes how you have to play to reach finals and it also changes how you have to view what is and isn't good play.
And I think perhaps some of the better stars players on this site, or at least the ones that are well known for doing well, don't really know that experience because they don't have that same life or death when it comes to the poll.
Yes I do appreciate your blogs at first I thought you was personally attacking me because of my name in your first one but I see you are speaking generally lol
I feel this to some extent. I’ve never known where I actually stood, but in the multi era, it was quite clear: go unnommed as far as possible and get nommed against the right ppl if I wanted to make it far, let alone finals.
I don't really know you like that so you were just kind of an example I was using to make a general point. I try to like, not say stuff about people I don't know otherwise?
Like it's definitely not personal, it's just that it's an interesting discussion of gameplay/popularity and the balance between the two and you're in the current stars so, your example is easiest to reference.
