I Love Karma!: Dodging the Bullet Nov 9, 2008
imageGood evening, tengaged.  My name is Paxton and once again it's time for your nightly dose of everything that is I Love Karma!.  The last time I left you the team of Extras had been divided amongst the remaining Fans and Favorites as jrxoxo8 and Rhiannon10 were eliminated.
Tonight we start off with newly formed teams with jm101 as the captain for the Fans and leading lady Latina for the Favorites.  The challenge for safety required both teams to rank themselves in order from best to worst, with one minor catch.  They weren't to rank based on their own personal choices, but rather how they thought the rest of their team would do so.  For each correct ranking that matched the rest of their team one point would be earned and added to a grand total which as usual would be divided into an overall average.  Also as usual the losing team would be going into the Vault where they decide who to put in the box.  However, instead of choosing three of their fellow teammates they'd only have to pick two as the other nominee would be decided by the winning team.  As a group they'd get to pick a random ranking from the losing team's list and whichever player was that ranking would automatically be thrown into the box.
After rankings were evaluated the winning team for the second straight time was in fact the Fans with a score of 3.87 narrowly defeating the Favorite's score of 3.12.
The rankings for each team were as follows:
The Fans
1- Tess11 2- Yankee1006 3- punx193 4- jm101 5- Lexxu 6- Alex1991 7- SlowMoving 8- Selena142
The Favorites
1- Latina 2- corey1 3- jamesbuc 4- Darren 5- TripleXXX 6- jimmyemery 7- jeffypop 8- josiahbjorke
The Fans didn't come to majority choice for their ranking (they chose number one and number seven, so because of a tie, both Latina and jeffypop went into the box.  Also because of this the Favorites only had to vote for one other nominee to join them.  Everyone except for jeffypop (who voted corey1) decided on the always absent josiahbjorke.
Once again the Power Outing proved to be less than exciting as only one nominee showed up, that being Latina.  jm101 the latest Pay Master asked her how she felt about being in the box to which Latina replied, "i feel bad about being in the box because is not like my team voted me in it was thanks to a stupid twist.."  When asked who'd she herself would eliminate she plainly announced josiahbjorke.
On the flip side of the so-so Power Outing, the Elimination Ceremony proved to be the most gripping yet.  First jm101 announced jeffypop as being safe since he proved himself (most likely in the second challenge of the game) and deserved to stay.  Then after what seemed like forever jm101 made the shocking choice to void the silent josiahbjorke and keep the leading lady Latina.  Could a possible deal have been made between the two behind the scenes?  Only time will tell as we continue our journey to discover who loves karma the most.
As always keep it here for all of the latest about the game and here: http://www.tengaged.com/group/1016 as well to see it all as it happens.  Until next time, see ya.

I Love Karma!: Turning Up the Heat Nov 8, 2008
imageHello again.  It's time for another recap of what's currently  been happening in this season of I Love Karma!  Oh boy, this quite a large one too.  First off the new team captains were SlowMoving for the Extras, Yankee1006 for the Fans, & jamesbuc for the Favorites.  The second challenge required a little thinking as the players were presented with a short set of questions.
- ANDYSHIELDS + ROCKGODDESS =
- JUBBZY AND DANIEL HAVE A NUMBER IN COMMON WHICH IS IT?
- WREN, ANDYSHIELDS, DYLAN9884 HAVE THE NUMBER 3 IN COMMON, TELL ME WHY THEY HAVE THEY HAVE THE NUMBER THREE IN COMMON?
The twist here was that each player was only allowed one submission of answers.  Just as before the captain of team with the highest scoring average would become PayMaster and the losing team would be going into the Vault.  Bubbly herself admitted she wasn't proud of the results as a bit of a switcheroo was seen when the order of score averages was reversed from the last time:
1.33 Fans
0.75 Extras
0.62 Favorites
The once shining stars headed into the Vault where at first Rhiannon10 was confused as to why everyone was voting for her.  jrxoxo8 then became the second definite player to be in the box receiving the second most amount of votes.  It all came down to a tie between corey1 and TripleXXX which caused quite a stir.  A mix-up of what would happen in the event of a tie brought out the worst yet again from TripleXXX who ended up committing social suicide last season.  Though it was jamesbuc and Latina who both received warnings from Bubbly for arguing about the rules of the game.  She then decided it was only fair to put both corey1 and TripleXXX into the box due to the tie.
At the Power Outing alliances were questioned by now PayMaster Yankee1006.  However, no straight answers were given (publicly anyways) except from Rhiannon10 who stated she didn't have one.  (At least with jrxoxo8.)  A short while later it was Yankee1006's choice that jrxoxo8 be the third person voided.  However, in a quick twist she was given the power to nominate three of her fellow teammates for a Fast Forward Elimination who would then nominate their own PayMaster.  Latina, jamesbuc, & just when she thought she was safe, Rhiannon10 were her choices.  It was corey1 they picked as their PayMaster who ended up making a somewhat surprise decision and voiding Rhiannon10.
As one final twist since two players had been eliminated from each team, the Extras were given the choice of which team they wished to join to fill the gaps on them.  SlowMoving and Lexxu responded first deciding on the Fans, leaving jimmyemery and josiahbjorke to join the Favorites by default.
Who will be karma's next victim?  Stay tuned to this very blog to find out and here: http://www.tengaged.com/group/1016 to read jrxoxo8 and Rhiannon's upcoming exit interviews.

I Love Karma!: The First Victims Nov 7, 2008
imageJust a few days ago the twenty players comprised of eight favorites from the original cast, eight fans of the game itself, & four extras originally excluded entered the I Love Karma Mansion.  After a bit of mingling with one another it was time to choose the first set of captains.  Chosen for the Fans was Punx193, jimmyemery for the Extras, & Darren for the Favorites.
Shortly after it was time for the first challenge that would decide which of our fresh teams would end up taking a lovely trip the Vault.  The challenge implemented "The World's Hardest Game."  (Go here http://armorgames.com/play/1043/the-worlds-hardest-game to give it a go yourself.)  The team with the lowest scoring average would be taking the trip.  After it was all said and done the final scores were the following:
11.0 - Favorites
10.5 - Extras
02.3 - Fans
Into the Vault they went where they then voted who to place into the box out of which Darren the captain now Paymaster for the Favorites would choose two to void.  jj91w volunteered himself in since he he felt it was unfair that he didn't get to contribute to the challenge.  The other two voted in were Loveme and Selena142.
At the Power Outing only Selena142 showed up pleading to Darren she'd do whatever he wanted in order to stay and that she could give him tengaged fame.
Finally it was time for the Voiding Ceremony.  Possibly taking into consideration what Selena142 had told him earlier, Darren chose to void both jj91w and Loveme.
Two down seventeen to go folks before we find out who loves karma the most and wins it all!  Stay tuned here for all future happenings in the game and check the game itself here: http://www.tengaged.com/group/1016 for jj91w and Loveme's upcoming exit interviews.

BOO!!! Oct 30, 2008
imageI've finally screenshot the notorious ghost that has been haunting tengaged for the last few days four separate times.  I must admit what Randomize has done here to bring some festiveness to the site in the spirit of Halloween is pretty awesome.  I can only imagine what he'll do for Thanksgiving.  Just think...people with pumpkin pie all over their faces or dare I say it, turkey feathers sprouting from heads!

I Love Karma!: My Exit Interview Oct 26, 2008
imageHello, everyone.  Here with me tonight is Paxton who just a little bit ago was the latest person to be voided in I Love Karma! hosted by tengaged's own, Bubblyangel.  Following is a tell-all interview revealing Paxton's thoughts on the game and the other players.  Without further adieu, let's do this!

Paxton: Hello, Paxton.
Paxton: hi
Paxton: How are you?
Paxton: Pretty good actually despite being booted.  XD
Paxton: How do you feel about placing ninth overall in the game?
Paxton: I'm okay with it.  I went into that game with only one allie, so I never thought I had an actual chance of winning, but it was a fun experience nonetheless.
Paxton: Care to tell everyone who that allie is?
Paxton: ha  I would, but considering they're still playing, I wouldn't dare risk their own chances.
Paxton: Fair enough.  At the start of the game, you were the first person to ever volunteer yourself into the dreaded box.  Why did you do that?
Paxton: I told everyone it was because I didn't want to vote anyone since I didn't know any of them, which is only half true.  I had a theory that since some of these people already had prior ideas about each other, they'd use that to sway the first pay master on the green team, Latina, in their favor.  And guess what?  It worked!
Paxton: Clever indeed.  Are there any players you have a grudge against or hold any harsh feelings toward?
Paxton: no  To an extent I think they're all pretty good people and even better players.
Paxton: Who in your eyes was the worst player?
Paxton: Kathreya, who really didn't even get a chance to play, because from the get go she decided to start drama.  When you first go into a game, it's never a good idea to stir the pot, and in doing so, slit her own throat.
Paxton: Okay, now let's get to the question everyone pondered since it was revealed someone had won it:  Did you in fact have the Diamond Veto?
Paxton: *shifty eyes*  YES I DID!
Paxton: Please explain what power it had.
Paxton: It gave me the opportunity to completely change the nominees at any voiding ceremony for the next three voids.  I was even able to use it in the event I was voided.  Unfortunately by the time I needed to have it, Mark, Tayvi, and James were gone, in turn rendering the Diamond Veto useless.
Paxton: wowsers
Paxton: I KNOW!  But hey, it's all apart of the game and that's all there is to it.
Paxton: You are right.  Well, I guess that pretty much wraps it up here.  I just have one final question for you and then we're out.
Paxton: okay
Paxton: What will you miss most about the game as you are no longer in it?
Paxton: Without a doubt, my cozy spot under the kitchen sink.  :)
