Casting is your first step in the hall of fame! You and 19 other housemates are about to socialize and compete in daily competitions to avoid nominations. You will put your social skills and 'strength' in competitions to an ultimate test to win karma and T$. The better placement you reach, the higher rewards you earn.
Basic Elements
--------------------
You may wonder why there are images of a check, apple, and key on the game page with numbers? Approximately, about every one or two hours these numbers will update by an algorithm. These are your in-game stats you must ensure are always high as the game progresses. Please refer to the explanation of each element.
Checks: This represents your activity that you earn from the positive and negative points you get when your housemates rate your comments. It important to get at least one positive feedback on one of comments throughout the day.
Apples: This represents your health in the game. Your health will increase by 1% when you are active and decrease if you become too inactive in the game. When you reach 0%, you will die in the game and will not earn any karma or T$ regardless the placement you reach. Apples will appear randomly in the message area, click on it to gain 10% health!
Keys: You always want to have a key in the game! Keys represent immunity from nominations regardless how low checks or scores from competitions. However, if multiple people have keys it will not keep you completely immune if they outperform in other areas so when you see one in the message area, grab it!
Poison Bottles: You want to avoid being tricked on clicking them when apples or keys appear. If you accidently click on one, your health will decrease by 5%.
Competitions: You and your other housemates will compete in daily competitions to avoid being nominated for eviction. You will have 12 hours to complete and must try to get as many points possible.
Nominations and Voting
------------------------------
You may wonder how nominations work in casting? You in-game stats and competition scores play a huge role on how the algorithm selects the nominees. An algorithm or “algo” is computer code that is responsible on making the nominations. Algo will take into consideration the number of keys each housemate has and following towards the amount of checks and competition scores. Always understand the worst housemates on the previous competition may not always be nominated due to keys and checks.
How does voting work? You have to strategize your voting by 3, 2, or 1 vote towards your housemates being nominated.
3 – You want this housemate to leave the game.
2 – You are undecided, you would want this housemate to leave or stay (no preference).
1 – You want this housemate to stay in the game.
If there is a double or triple eviction, this means the housemates that did not get the most votes died due to having 0% health.
TIPS
-------
Housemates that usually are active when the game begins, have a higher chance of reaching the final day!
Housemates who get many positive ratings from their comments will receive extra time in their competitions allowing better scores!
You much rather have you or a single housemate get all the keys, nominations become more intense when many different housemates have a key. Keys will become invaluable.
A general rule does not focus on one element in the game (referring to checks, competitions, and keys). If you want to win you have to outperform in two or all elements in the game!
If you are not strong in the competition, you should stalk for keys in the game and vote off the housemates who are stronger with zero keys.
Socialize and get to know your other housemates. This game has less drama so take advantage of it!
It is better to socialize occasionally throughout updates rather than socializing too much during a single update.
Avoid triple posting as it will result in negative ratings against you in the game.
Please + for Randomize to add a help button for Casting that is updated and easier to understand.
IDEA 3 - Make stats similar to Casting with "Checks" that update very hour. The stats would appear next to the Rookies logo with the "Check image" or Points. Also, T$ next to it (explained later) The difference between Rookies check is the actual amount of points you earn from messages. If you get positive votes your meter will increase and if you get negative votes your points may decrease if you only had negative votes during the update. After each update voting for messages will be disable to ensure people who are active in that hour can vote instead of begging 20 hours later.
NOTE: Checks for HOH/POV are based on the previous day change activity only. Final amount determines the winner of all checks earned throughout the entire game.
IDEA 4 - Make message pop-ups like Casting with letters of "ROOKIE". Users can earn extra T$ by collecting letters throughout the game based on rarity and completing the entire set.
This would be called "Crossword minigame"
R is worth 1T$ each (40% chance of appearing)
O is worth 1.5T$ each (30% chance of appearing)
K is worth 2T$ each (15% chance of appearing)
I is worth 2.5T$ each (10% chance of appearing)
E is worth 3T$ each (5% chance of appearing)
However, to prevent auto-clicking, poison bottle will be replaced by neg buttons (since health is not a factor) and clicking the red neg button will decrease your points/checks by 5. If you click on a letter, you will earn the letter increase your T$ amount in the game.
You will earn additional T$ to your payout based on the letters you collect. However, if you complete the entire word, you will earn 25T$ bonus!
This game is not like casting where it determines winning. It is more of a way to get some T$ back in case you get voted out early or a way to earn extra T$.
It is up to you if a letter should pop up every update or random with blank updates like casting
IDEA 4 - Rookie Competitions
Scores will be remained a secret if completed. Users will not know what others score. Users can play the competition to increase the amount of points during day change to boost their change for HOH/POV and to avoid being nominated by algo.
Rookies comps do not make huge influences on being the top 3 to get HOH/POV. They make it a fun addition to earn points and does not harm you terribly if you are extremely active getting positive votes in your messages during the day.
Inspired by Duel payout only players who made halfway can get karma and T$. Top 10 should get their T$ back.
2. Change Hunger Enrollment like Stars
Price starts at 20T$ and color level can decrease allowing players below red to enroll ensuring the game wait time is reduced.
3. Allow players to enroll in 2 of the same type games (Casting and Rookies) again. I am a huge casting fan and would help increase enrollment.
4. Allow T$ gifting by purchase only. $1.99 you can buy 50T$ for winning a group game. The special price is for another player.
5. Reduce the design lab day change to 12 hours maximum and not 24 hours to increase more auctions.
6. Add a Tengaged court again.
7. Add IP games for spanish and brasil users like you did for English users on .es (I am all for diversity but you removed their community and they deserve a fair game in their native language.
I been playing on here since 2011. randomize please consider this.
