Guess who's back, back again.
My long ass blogs, tell a friend.

Technically, a blog isn't exactly a "who," but I'm going to go along with it for rhythm's sake ;). This stars game has been really enjoyable; the cast was a good mix of new and old Tengaged, and people actually took the time to try to talk to everyone. I can safely say that I have made some new friends, and met some people who I would have never talked to otherwise.

Everyone has their own perspective on how the game has been run, played, etc. And, in my opinion, I think I have been doing a good job of holding my own and going my own way. I have made all my decisions on what I believe will benefit my game, as well as my allies' games - as should everyone else, which is probably why I'm up with tdan13 (an undeniably stand up guy)! I respect everyone's decisions, so long as they are honest with me. It is how I play and how I will always act. At the end of it, I can be proud that I /did/ try and I /did/ own up to my actions - it's a good way to go, I swear it!

I would be privileged if you, Tengaged, allow me to continue to play this game. I truly believe I can still do well - despite losing my closest ally - and make another stars final. Everyone's always wondered what it feels like to finally win one, so don't lie!

I appreciate any and all saves :)

tl;dr - This dude is putting in the effort, and wants another shot at FINALLY winning a stars.

Here we go again, Tengaged!

For starters, I would like to begin by saying THANK YOU for getting me this far into the game. I feel spoiled, because I have never survived so many polls before in my combined 3 previous Stars experiences. By no means will I ever take anyone's support for granted, and I continue to write these blogs to express my gratitude. I know it's not much, but it's still something.

In the back of my mind, I knew that going up against cfff/Brian could be a possibility, but I chose to remain loyal - perhaps, to a fault. And yes, there probably could have been things that I could have done to avoid the predicament I am in right now, but that would require going against my word, going against what I value most. The way I play Stars is to protect not only myself, but those I choose to align with. Some may perceive this as an aspect of my game they can exploit, or the voters could perceive this as poor game play or that I'm "too nice" to win. In response to this notion, I have always been authentic to who I am and the way I portray myself as "FlameonX" is identical to my character in person. Look how far it has gotten me - too nice CAN prevail.

I am extremely close to making it to another Stars final, and with some newfound clarity, I know exactly what needs to be done to get there. It might sound cliché, but I can assure you, I do.

And, as tiresome as it seems, I must ask you to support me in yet another poll against arguably one of the post popular cast members and recent Stars winner, Brian. Needless to say, I am very much intimidated by the task of surviving this poll, but I am confident in all of you who believe in me (yes, I'm talking about the 52.5% of Tengaged)!

Thank you so so much for taking time to read through my essay-like blogs, because it does take some time to write them. I hope everyone has a great day, and I encourage all the students to go full out before the holiday season is over!

Hi again, Tengaged!

I suppose that I have gone from the guy that people don't know to the guy who was just nominated for 11th, and surprisingly stayed. (Did you see the poll box?! What is this blasphemy?! Or, shall I say, Insanity!) Nonetheless, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that 52.5% of you have presented me, and I am writing this blog to let you know that your votes have not been cast in vain. Also, I don't want to bore everyone with another long, dragged out blog, but I can't think of another way to express my thoughts!

In reference to my poll box speech, I am generously putting in the hours to try and find some form of traction in this game. Unfortunately, I could not do as said in time, so I am back in the nomination hot seat. It really is no one's fault, except for my own, that I am in this position again. Everyone left in the game has options. My job was to present them with options that would appeal to their game/strategy, while holding benefit to my own. Perhaps, I did not do a good job in presenting these options, but I believe that it was because people kept a narrow perception when I presented these said options.

Once again, I turn to you as my Stars fate lies in your button clicking decisions. I appreciate any and all saves, and I have even been surprised by old friends logging in to click a damn button.

If you read the entire blog post, all the power to ya. Thank you for being a believer and I hope everyone had a pleasant New Years day!

Hi Tengaged!

Most of you probably don't know who I am, but that is fair - I have not been around as of late. I'm writing this blog out of respect for myself and to express how I feel about my Stars experience so far, not because I think it will get me more votes. I also realize that surviving this poll will be a long shot, but who knows! Let's hush the non-believers (Refer to Exhibit A) ;)

I did not plan on joining Stars before actually enrolling. On Saturday, I woke up an hour before and decided to see if I could still win a click race. Little did I know, I can get in a 16 person Stars game and not a 28 person Hunger Games (so sad). Besides that, after getting in, I found myself working with people who I have previously worked against in past Stars, so trust and respect had to be built from the ground up. Additionally, I did not have a friend from outside the game that I could trust/talk to, so I really had to fend for myself.

I truly believe that I have been playing a class A game, despite being nominated right now, and as my game history shows, I play my best in the latter stages of the game - so let me get there! I also believe that I have made friends through this experience, and that is more than I can say for the first time in a long time.

With that being said, I hope everyone has a Happy New Year, as I am sure the next will be better than the last.

Exhibit A.
