Just played my first rookies...and I think I accomplished what I wanted to. I definitely wanted to make it to the top 4 just so the people who bet on me wouldn't lose their money. I was actually quite surprised to find out that I had 11T$ on me! It means a lot =) It's nice to know that some people believe in my capabilities to win one of these things!
Overall, the experience is definitely different from a castings. For one, I didn't have to worry about people grabbing up all the keys, and there are also no challenges. However, that is about to change! The new rookies will have challenges and a jury. I think that if I had played a couple more of the now "retro" version of rookies, I would be more accepting of the change. But, since I just started to get the hang of things, I will now have to adapt once again!
I think the jury aspect of the game will definitely cause some trouble for a few people. It's interesting. I like interesting, haha.
The people in my rookies were extremely nice and they made it very pleasant to be around/active. Rookies are more suited for my lifestyle right now, so I hope to be able to play with you guys later!!
Hope everyone is doing well in their games, life, work, school, etc.
Cheers!
