The one thing I hate most in fast castings is when someone in my alliance asks to vote out inactives. It is by far the worst strategy to have, you have to wait until you get the numbers, then get rid of inactives.
Next time someone in my alliance asks to vote out inactives, I will sabotage my own game to make sure they are next evicted, I'm so over it.
If you are here to see whether you can trust me in the game, you definitely can. I am the most trustworthy guy on tengaged, if you go with me, we will be f3, hooray!
15th: topazisqueen You were badly wanted out by my original alliance with Dylan, so as a show of good faith and that I could be trusted, I arranged for you to be evicted.
13th: Gohandd I was worried you might come after me after I made sure you were evicted in the last fast castings game. Looks like I got you again ;)
12th: Juliann Someone told me you were working with insanename and we had a fun thing going where we were using insanename as a pawn.
11th: diarzibari101: I had 2 alliances in this game. One with my f3 and the other with diazibari and iivoloxity. That's how we were able to control the game from the start. I really didn't know which side of the game I was going to go with, however I had a good conversation with Dylan in the chatzy and Miss Sunshine in a slow castings game I'm playing with her. I would have definitely kept iivoloxity and diazri longer, however iivoloxity was too smart and kept questioning some of my moves. Voloxity would have gone first but she won POV so it was time for diazri to go. Thanks for voting with me at the start.
10th: iiVoloxity: You were just too smart. This may come as a surprise to Dylan but I actually considered getting rid of him after diazri went and keep an alliance of the people I was with in the other game (voloxity and diazri). But it just seemed to much of a hassle just for the sake of being loyal to someone, I'm really only loyal to myself, so it was your time to go.
9th: Evanester: I was sending you information on who we would be voting out, somewhere along the way you stopped voting with me so you were next to go.
8th: insanename: I posed a fun little game to my alliances to keep putting insanename up as a pawn. There was a reason for this, it was because I then knew that I could make insanename feel helpless in the game, so when the time came to get rid of one of my alliances, I knew I could go to insanename for a vote because he would be grateful just to not be on the block. That's exactly what happened, when the time came, insanename voted with me, and we were able to get 4 votes for voloxity and diazri. Once they and Evan were gone, there really was no need to keep insanename.
7th-4th: Clayton, Tenac, Om3ga, RyanHaskell inactive, but congrats on getting high placings for not even playing the game!

F3:
Dylan_King98: You've been a good guy from the start, you backed me up 100% when I needed you and we had a good conversation about Chris Lilley, ultimately that's why I decided to keep you to f3. I really did expect you to vote me out at F4, I actually considered doing it to you if you didn't win POV. However, I've had way too much drama in this game and didn't feel like more. You're a good dude.
MissSunshine: The person that I was mainly 100% loyal to in this game and knew she had my back as we had talked in the slow castings game. Also, she likes Streetlight Manifesto and it's impossible to find people that like punk and ska music on here. It's a fresh change over someone who likes Katy Perry or some shit music like that.
I really feel like I controlled this whole game from start to finish so I'm very proud. Maybe I should play this way from now on and not overplay my hand like I have in other games (having 5 or 6 alliances and screwing them all). Good game guys.
I'd like to start a discussion with everyone to find out who everyone thinks is their top 5 Big Brother winners of all time.
My top 5 would be
5. Dick (Season 8)- A lot of people underrate Dick's game in my opinion, due to the America's player twist saving him when he would have gone home. However, every winner of this game has had a circumstance change in the game that has helped them. Dick had 2 things going against him the whole game, firstly his relationship with Danielle. Everyone knew that was an unbreakable alliance and in almost every season where an instant unbreakable alliance is formed, they immediately become the target (see: Brendon & Rachel). Also Dick was always in confrontations, however this definitely helped his game as it allowed the floaters of the season (Zach, Jen etc.) to cling to someone when they knew they were the target of the majority alliance.
4. Hayden (Season 12)- I actually think Hayden was the 2nd best player in his season behind Matt Hoffman, but Matt himself credits Hayden with getting him evicted. Also, Hayden was everybody's friend. Even Brendon and Rachel thought they were in an alliance with Hayden and only ended up putting him up due to Rachel wanting to vote out Kristin and Hayden would oppose that. The rest of the game, Hayden coasted along and won challenges, being part of one of the top 3 greatest alliances of all time.
3.Dan (Season 10)- This might be a bit controversial putting Dan outside of the top 2 and I do believe overall he is in the top 2 best players in history, however I base that opinion on his game in Season 14 as well as season 10. So, just based on Dan's game in season 10, I have 2 players better than him. That's not to say Dan wasn't incredible in season 10, because he was. He overcame many sticky situations in the house (see: His first week alliance with Brian, turning on Jesse/Jerry). Dan's ability to manoeuvre himself into a position where most weeks he was the swing vote was incredible. His veto ceremony speech where he nominated Michelle was one of my favourite Big Brother moments.
2. Derrick (Season 16)- Last seasons champ absolutely dominated the game in almost every facet. How many players can say they were never nominated? He had everyone believing they were Derrick's best friend and when they realised Derrick's genius, Derrick was quick to get them sent packing. As an overall player, Derrick may owe a debt of gratitude to #casting for giving him virtual cannon fodder. However in a comparison of season wins, it's almost as dominant of a victory as any.
1. Will (Season 2)- Season 1 was an absolute mess, so with the new rules, Will set the tone for how the game would be played from then on in his amazing victory in season 2. Will had an amazing ability to lie to everyone and backstab everyone. He was as unlikeable as anyone could be and yet everyone loved him. He screwed them all and yet when it was time to vote, it wasn't a bitter jury unlike the season 14 jury, which is the reason I believe that Will is also the greatest player of all time.
There's my top 5. Do you agree? Or do you have a different top 5? Let me know in the comments.
Today was the first time that I haven't won a game of Fast Castings.
I ended up coming 2nd. The person that beat me? A player that was inactive the entire game.
So my question is, what is the algorithm that Tengaged uses to determine the winner of Fast Castings? It almost seems completely random. I have been absolutely strategic in all of my games so far, but when it comes to actually winning, I'm just not sure what route to take and from what I can see, there doesn't seem to be a likely route to give myself the best chance of winning. Does anyone have any ideas?
