ShayyBayy and the OC Jan 27, 2012
imageSorry in advance for my long rant... but I'm started to get really tired of the OC, and more recently with ShayyBayy.

Let me start out by saying that the OC is clearly one of the most well-known alliances on Tengaged, and they always seemed to dominate Stars. However, is it really dominating if they go in as a four person alliance from the start? No. They clearly have the advantage over everybody else, but what pains me the most is that people actually go along with the OC.

At this point I'd like to take a comparison between Coach "The Dragon Slayer" from season 23, "Boston" Rob Mariano from season 22 (of survivor), and Rachel/Jordan from season 13 (of Big Brother). People mindlessly followed all of them. Coach ended up in the finals without a sweat, Boston Rob ended up winning, and Rachel ended up winning. Is it out of question to assume that people who are black-level know a thing or two about games? They're playing like they're all Maplestory , which is completely ridiculous.

What pains me even more than people claiming that the OC is a good alliance because of strategy, right now, is that even with a large advantage going in, they ALWAYS get nominated, ALWAYS. Then, we have ShayyBayy spamming to everybody to keep jtotalturtle and to evict woahcourtney simply because he's an OC member. Give me a fucking break, the more I see these spams about keeping someone who has all ready been saved twice, makes me now always check on a person to see if they're in the OC in stars pollbox. If they are, I'll evict them.

In short, this is a message to everyone who has once saved or in the future will save an OC member. All this shit that Shayy is saying about him/her wanting him to be saved isn't because he's loyal, it's to make their alliance look good.

Get out the premade, evict jtotalturtle .

that's all .__.

Tengaged Experiment: Castings Jan 24, 2012
My plan:
In Castings, generally if you go inactive you die/are nominated and evicted. However, with my computer, for some reason, it thinks I'm always online so I never die. If they always evict the most active and I stay inactive, I'll get 4th. Same with Rookies, and Rookies eliminates the health factor aswell.

Refined and perfected: Faceoff (New Game) Jan 17, 2012
I saw this idea from mintberrycrunch and immediately thought what a great idea it could be with some improvements.

So let me first start off by explaining the idea of the game: You join with the sole purpose of getting someone else out of the game. You beat them, you haven't exactly won, but you've gotten to be a power player.

Here's how it would work: It'd be a 10 person game, (due to the Faceoff idea premades wouldn't even be a factor) in which no one knows who the person they are set to face off is to be. After the game is full, you are then assigned to your enemy (completely random; not of your choosing at all). A red X will be displayed under their name (instead of a check) to show that that is your enemy. There are no HOH's, nominations are decided by a series of brackets. You will face your *enemy* in a game, the winner is given immunity, the loser is nominated. This means, in the beginning, five people will be nominated. This could even lead to a 1-1-1-1-1 tie. The person whose enemy loses is given immunity to the final 5.

Some things I noticed would be difficult is at the final 6, only one Faceoff will exist, meaning they will literally play for their lives in the game. Being the only nominee would mean to go auto-home.

So now you're probably wondering what happens at the final 5... and I just thought of this now, bare with me, it's a bit of a stretch, but at the final 5 you will have the option to invite 1 person back into the game. That would mean that now that the Faceoff twist had ended, everyone would be competing for themselves.

However, being the nature of Faceoff, there's another twist. Now that a sixth person is added to the game, the enemies are randomized again, therefore possibly pitting you against an alliance member. Only one of you can survive to the final 3. Again, once it is the final 4, the only remaining Faceoff will be fighting for their lives. At the final 3, the person with the lowest competition score goes home.

Now for the final 2,
No one likes the Algorithm which only decides who wins by the final day postings, right? So, it can be one of two things. 1, keeping the nature of the challenges, have them all compete in a challenge, winner takes all. I liked that idea originally, but we all know at times there will be one challenge dominator that can just run through the entire thing. Then I had an interesting idea... for a different type of jury.

Once the game ends all people that have been evicted since the final *five jury members* will 1) not be able to participate in another game until they vote, and 2) to make being a jury member more interesting, you will then vote all as a group to determine who they want to choose the winner. Meaning, if five people are voted out, and four people vote for 1 of the jury members to decide the winner, it is up to him who wins.

Therefore, it could be your own faceoff choosing who wins and who loses.

Now, for the karma payout. I think this game wouldn't be as interesting if it wasn't fast, so I'd say first 8 minutes max for each day or until everyone has competed in the challenge.

Price: 15T$ Color Requirement: Orange

Request: Make Prices Better (edit michaelfisher ) Here's what they'd be if they were better:

10TH: 0k, 0T$
9th: 0k, 0T$
8th: 0K, 0T$
7th: 0K, 0T$
6th: 0K, 15T$
5th: 0K, 15T$
4th: 0K, 15T$
3rd: 3K, 40T$
2nd: 8K, 100T$
1st: 10K, 150T$

/unedit

Again this is just a beta idea... just food for thought.

EDIT: To prevent 1-1-1-1-1 tie, you will vote to evict two people. One can be your Faceoff, one can be another person, or neither can be your Faceoff.
